Potioncraft is a fun chill game that you don't need sound for.

I would also recommend Elden Ring. Currently at 30% off.

Thank you, this is very insightful. I've not been introduced to the four freedoms before.

It's also interesting to me how the "more free" parabola is -- from my point of view -- more restrictive (less freedom).

Since it's based on Arch the biggest differences seem to be no included non-free blobs which is cool but then it also restricts the repos that packages can be pulled from so that only free packages can be installed.

To me, more freedom means one should be able to use any repo they want (including the AUR) and install anything if they wish.

Just like we enjoy the freedom to sudo rm -rf /. Like maybe it shouldn't be done but if you want, go ahead.

I think parabola has its place as a sort of testing ground for GNU only software. But there is like a semantic issue with the word free in how GNU uses it. Especially since we have to keep telling people that it's free as in freedom not as in cost. But then we turn around and say, "You can't do that".

Would one not be safe if using any GPU using the free drivers that come with something like arch?

I'm not sure of the criterion and ive never tried to go to this level of freedom so I'm not claiming anyone to be wrong, but hardware would only do what the driver is capable of right?

How much less freedom would one have running Arch with an AMD RX 7900-XT using the free drivers compared to Parabola with any AMD card listed on https://h-node.org/hardware/catalogue/en ?

There's so many input devices that have drivers baked into the modern Linux kernels that I've not had an issue using any device in the past 10 years (wired or wireless/Bluetooth). Sometimes that device requires windows for some companion software (like to control rgb), but input functionality still just works.

If running Nvidia drivers, you might want to disable hardware acceleration in the steam settings.

I had this issue too on an older laptop using older Nvidia drivers.

This fixed it for me.

steam-runtime --reset

Nope, not your fault. But if we want to help people migrate from reddit to the fediverse then it's an obstacle we need to be aware of.
