I've been using Startpage for a few years. Uses Google and Bing as sources I think, but it's been usable for my simple use cases.

Mostly my reasons for avoiding Fedora as well. But if someone else ends up on Linux due to Fedora then it's still better than Windows.

I might not like it but it might, sadly, be perfect for someone else.

I'm not a fan of Fedora either, but it's still linux. Always better than Windows, unless you have some very serious reason for disliking it that much.

I'd honestly be curious to see how that plays out. Every creator hosts their own content while strengthening and spreading the Peertube network.

I feel like that would quickly solidify it as a viable alternative.

I will pirate anything from them that looks even remotely interesting. But I've never given them a cent and I sure as hell never will.

Sounds pretty nice. Hope it's as enjoyable as it looks.

I know it's completely irrelevant here, but what keyboard is that in the background? The keycaps look really nice.

Linux Mint has already been suggested. I recommend the XFCE edition and adding the Chicago95 theme for a pretty close Windows95/98 look. That should be a reasonable starting point.

Yeah, I have no experience with that side of the series except that it's less arcade-y than Horizon.

I agree. But, as I've gotten older I've realised that the cold gets slightly less fun. Still, fuck the heat.

This is a fair point, but these companies have enough money that they could set aside a small team that just tries new things. Whether the games succeed or fail shouldn't matter. It should be a testing ground for finding new things to base a new IP around or just add to existing series or something.

The team should be allowed to take their time and just make something they're passionate about and players should be able to get involved. Feedback should be taken seriously and used to improve what the team puts out.

I know this is an absolute pipe dream, but I wish companies would do this for the sake of keeping the business moving forward if not for the players.
