  • Plus, I don’t know any other system that lets me pull my intestines out of my abdomen and use them like a lasso to climb a cliff when I forgot my rope at home.

    The biggest “con” to PF2 is that it is decidedly not 5e, and people expecting it to work like 5e will have a bad time. AC generally hangs within 1 or 2 points for the entire party at a specific level, same for enemies. It is rarely a good idea to just walk up to the enemy and face tank them. Moving around is big for survivability. Synergy with other party members can be huge too. Sometimes that thing you can do doesn’t sound like a big buff or debuff, but if several party members are doing complementary buffs/debuffs it can turn the tide.


  • I don’t actually know if it is a Wayland issue - most of those forum posts are like 3 years old… And I have definitely used these same AppImages in the past on Wayland without issue. I think the AppImages are expecting some specific dependency to be installed on my system that is no longer installed due to updates. (which I thought was counter to the entire point of an AppImage? I thought it was supposed to be kinda like Flatpak where it has it’s dependencies in the image? Maybe I just misunderstood AppImage…)

    To give you some hope, my Distro switched to Wayland as default a little over a year ago (i think) and I have not been running into problems (outside this AppImage problem, if it is indeed a Wayland issue, which I cannot confirm or deny).



  • I seem to have constant issues with AppImages. Every single one I have currently won’t open. I get an error message relating to either qT or GTK. Tried searching for the error and get a bunch of old forum threads talking about either not being compatible with Wayland at all, or comments stating that the one specific AppImage in question must have been “packaged badly”. Thankfully, nothing ‘mission critical’ for me is an AppImage currently, but it is quite upsetting that I have the most problems with the supposed “just works” app packaging/distribution option.



  • I love my smartwatch, it usually holds charge for an entire day even with the screen on all the time. I think they stopped making them though, it is a Fossil smartwatch. I also like that it just looks like a normal watch at first glance.

    By contrast, I have bought a tablet twice thinking I would love to have one, and then NEVER know what the hell to do with it. My phone is easier to carry around. :/


  • I was going to suggest something similar. Basically, unplug the windows drive entirely, install linux on a dedicated drive. Then plug them both in and use the bios to decide which one to use. Basically don’t have them interact at all. That way, worst comes to worst, you can boot into windows exactly as it is.

    If this was a personal machine you use for recreation, I would fully support just dropping windows entirely. But no matter how much I want to support a fellow Linux convert, if you make your livelihood from this computer, I wouldn’t risk any downtime that costs you money.
