こんにちは - “Hello”

Manjaro’s packages being separate from the main arch linux repository is really the kicker. It’s a completely preventable source of dependency issues especially when it comes to the aur. Instructions on the arch linux wiki won’t quite line up with what you need to do on Manjaro sometimes, and eventually you’ll be SOL if you only follow the arch wiki. You won’t understand the components of your system as well if you install Manjaro so a first-time user will have a harder experience fixing their machine.

It’s a classic case of “if it aint broke don’t fix it”. Manjaro fixes a problem that never existed. Arch linux works perfectly as a daily driver. The installation process continues to get easier, and really there is no experience required, if you can follow instructions, the wiki goes into great detail on everything you need to do to get to a working system and keep it that way.

Fall Guys event is stupid, but good, because the rewards from it are worthwhile. They put a whole lot of effort into making the emote, mount, and glamour. The hoodie dyes well and has some cool particle/glow effects, you can get a cute hat, etc. I’m not sure what they were going for with the 100 wins achievement title though, that just seems miserable. If it was 25 or something I would go for it.

Aloalo variant is a good experience the first time through, but it does get a little repetitive having to fight the same mid boss 12 times and each other boss at least 3 times to get your mount. Mount again is really good though it will work better with some character models than others.

I haven’t done the criterion but I’ve heard people like it. The trash isn’t as involved but from what i’ve seen the first boss is very difficult. And the savage upgrade item is a joke, everyone doing crit savage has bis anyway so it’s basically equivalent to an ultimate weapon glamour. I’m glad it at least gives a glow. Really it should be a complete weapon drop however, or trade in totem for weapon.

Good patch overall especially for x.x1 content wise

Yes, plugins work really well on linux. Use xivlauncher, available through git or aur. Every addon that i have tried has worked flawlessly. Use IINACT for parsing, it’s a plugin version of ACT that is much more stable than standalone ACT in my experience, albeit with fewer config options

Ah, this is really more of using HTTP to transfer files. I do something similar with the default python web server module to transfer files in a pinch but this also implements the post/put part of the transfer with some nice buttons (instead of me straight up curl’ing the files to my desktop via the running http server).

I don’t think emulation is going anywhere. Well, it may become more illegal than it already is, but that’s not going to stop many people from continuing. We are already too good at file/software sharing and preservation.

The ‘legal’ part of emulation (with precedent) is the development of emulator software through reverse engineering a console system. The angle Nintendo+co is most likely to attack is that emulator software allows users to circumvent first-party security restrictions that are meant to make games run only on authorized hardware, thus violating the DMCA.
