To my great shame, I have never tried Doki Doki T_T

Works flawlessly on Linux too, just remember to kill your compositor to avoid screen tearing. :)

I love how memes, at this point, are a means to process our cyber anxiety.

Sweet! Thank you so much!

I’ve been gaming with Steam on Arch without issues for a few years now, occasionally applying some popular Steam command tweaks as can be seen on protondb. My question is rather, after a days consideration, could I achieve the same gaming experience with another init system than systemd, such as I can have on for instance Artix or Gentoo, provided I install all the other dependencies for Steam and drivers for nvidia. 🤔

Just call customer support. They even supplied you a QR code. What’s your problem?

This looks like a neat and simple enough setup! Thank! :)

I’m using a separate little laptop to chat, in this case, with Signal. It’s a little inconvenient, but on the other hand, if you don’t have multiple monitors, you are at least free from chat notifications in your gaming screen/window. :)

Yet another though, if you have an Android phone, just plug in a keyboard and use the phone for chat. :D

Yeah, sorry, I was unclear on several parts in the post. Thanks anyways! If Steam’s native broadcasting turns out to such, I’ll try something else.

Thanks! I just installed OBS - also trying out a few variants from the AUR - but it gave an error saying “couldn’t load frontend-tools plugin”, didn’t recognize/pick up the Steam and/or the game’s window, even though I tried the game in various screen modes, and WHIP wasn’t in the streaming servers/sources selection section. I did some limited troubleshooting, but gave up, because my friend says they have Steam too. We’ll try out Steam’s “native” broadcasting function later tonight and see if we’re satisfied with that + chat/voice chat through Signal.

Thanks for your time and input! :)

God I love humanity. Sometimes. Really neat project! :D

I just recommended it to my friend. Let’s see what they say.

Sweet! Thanks for the recommendations!

Nice!

Thanks! I’ll check it out! :D

Well then, that sounds great, because I love tinkering and learning new stuff. :)

I do recall using some minor distro - perhaps antiX - a long time ago to save a broken laptop. I did do init [some number between 0-5] to manipulate the system’s power state, I think. That’s my experience with it haha.

I’ve been using Linux for five years exclusively with systemd, without noticeable issues. I’m only considering the switch since the main branch - which is still the one being used by most distros by default - has added an Age parameter in some config file. Which isn’t verification in any sense - you may just leave it blank until an app or the OS requires it - but it’s ideologically not my cup of tea.

Sweet! If and when Arch implements age verification, Artix is where I’m seeking asylum.

A question: I have a fair understanding of Linux - been using it for five years - but only with systemd. Is it hard to transition to other init solutions? Is one better than the others? What about sysVinit?

Used it once on a laptop whose fan had died and which I in retrospect shouldn’t have used no matter how little I tax the CPU, but, it worked. antiX at least let me boot up, save my data and then discard the laptop.

Thanks for the advice on gaming over networks! :)

Yeah, I also don’t think there is any noticeable gain to be had here.
