yeah no, I dont want to be fucking with my machine just because I want to run a modern display server. I want my driver as part of my system. Until NV can get out of their own way and match the AMD experience (or even intel), not interested

I had an nvidia 660 GT back in 2013, it was a pain in the arse being on a leading edge distro, used to break xorg for a couple of months every time there was an xorg release (which admittedly are really rare these days since its in sunset mode). Buying an amd was the best hardware decision, no hassles and I've been on Wayland since Fedora 35.

Half-life alyx was as good as any other half life content they've produced

As a Linux gamer, this really wasn't on the cards anyway

500mhz must be updated for what ever they've done to it- I remember playing it in 1999 on a 133mhz pentium on Windows 98 (and I also remember testing in on NT4 and it actually worked!)

I've always been surprised its remained optical media for so long. I'd have bought a USB drive with a season of television on it. No doubt they'd fuck it up with another DRM scheme.

I'm resigned to the fact that if there is no offline distribution in the not too distant future, I will still build a library of the media I want from other sources.

my instance has downvotes disabled - it allows me to move on with my life. Only upping just seems more zen

I'd argue it hasn't imploded on you because it's immutable. You'd have a similar rock solid experience on any of the immutable Fedora releases (Silverblue, Kinoite etc) or some of the other immutable distros

some of the big studios are starting to not do discs releases here in Australia as well. If I want an archive copy of a movie (for the months I dont feel like shelling out for streaming access), I can't even fall back to disc. The high seas is already the only place to get some content, when its not on disc and no one has purchased the digital rights
