With some more time, the other 5% will follow suit.

Originally I was looking at Arch based distros such as Manjaro and EndeavourOS, during which I found out Manjaro is somewhat pointless because you pretty much should not use the AUR on Manjaro or else you will break the system inevitably. EndeavourOS looked solid though.

I personally wouldn't recommend Manjaro, they've some questionable decisions and even failed to do some basic things, like failing to renew their SSL certificate, which happened at least twice.

However, I got a few suggestions regarding openSuSE Tumbleweed as a better alternative to Arch based distros and just wanted to know what are the pros and cons of OpenSuSE compared to Arch based distros from your experience?

Well, the two aren't all that different. openSUSE has an better installer, which offers even full disk encryption, automated partitioning for disks in BTRFS with backups enabled. One big plus I can see in openSUSE's favour is YaST, the graphical utility for system configuration, and allows you to configure nearly everything in a GUI.

Arch, memes aside, is relatively stable in my experience, only having problems once or twice with Nvidia drivers. I think that Arch's biggest advantage is the AUR. Also one big plus of it's install method is that if you read the documentation during the install process, and try to understand it, you'll get a much clearer picture of how a linux system works in the "backend".

Both distros are rolling, and the speed that packages arrive in zypper (openSUSE's package manager) vs pacman (Arch's) is rather small in my opinion. Personally, I lean more towards openSUSE, but both are good.

Usually, Denuvo is mentioned in the EULA of the games, so going by this metric, it’s unlikely for it to have Denuvo since there's no mention of it.

Anyone has a link to what prompted this response?

There are a few rumours that Apple might drop the WebKit requirement soon, due to some laws adopted by the EU, however there has been no official response or comment by Apple so far.

No, you're not. It's for whenever you're browsing games on steam, like the discovery queue or when there's a big sale, it will show up before the description if it has, like this.

For steam, there is also this curator that marks it.

Lord of the Rings Online is about 26Gb.

Star Trek Online is also roughly at the same ballpark as LOTRO.

Guild Wars 1 is about 5Gb.

Secret World Legends also this one, about 10Gb.

They are all decent, and fun to play if they’re your jam, some are more pay-to-win than others, like Star Trek Online. Some are a bit on the older side, like Guild Wars 1 being from 2005 though.

It's not the first time either, there were loads of articles about Facebook (the app) and how it collected basically everything, so to me it isn’t that surprising Threads ticked virtually every box Apple offers too.

The Age of Decadence is CRPG set in a post-apocalypse ish, in which an analogue to the Roman Empire ruled most of the world until the collapse of civilisation, now it’s mostly city states struggling to survive and reclaim the old magitek of the empire.

Underrail: Life on earth’s surface has been made inhospitable ages ago, and the remains of humanity now live in the metro system called underrail and the caverns around it.

Both are isometric, turn based games that focus on combat and exploration. And they are hard. Builds are incredibly important, almost min maxing but they have a wide range of viable builds, especially the first one where you can play the entire game without fighting a single battle, all through alternative solutions and skill checks.

I’d say the Donation of Constantine

It was a forged Imperial Roman decree supposedly from Emperor Constantine the Great, which gave all temporal power over the Western Roman Empire to the Pope. Now, how is this important? This was how the papacy came into possession of the Lateran Palace, which was the Pope’s residence for much of history. It also served as the justification for the pope to break the formal convention of the five episcopal sees (i.e in the early church, Rome was just one of the important seats of power, the others were: Constantinople, Jerusalem, Alexandria and Antioch and all had equal authority) and declare itself supreme over the other centres. It also played an important role in the events of the Great Schism of 1054 (which formally separated the Western Latin church from the Eastern Greek church) and the investiture crisis in the 11th to 13th centuries.

It would be amazing yeah, standardising all user config files in the $HOME, and maybe etc/ or an default, non usable, user profile to store the original versions, in case of a bad config or corrupted file would save so much time debugging stuff.
