#Balatro (Steam, iOS, Android, Switch, PS4/5, Xbox One/X/S)

A deck-builder card game where you make poker hands, but Jokers and other cards give you crazy power-ups. I probably didn't explain that very well, but it's absurdly addictive. It's like the perfect Steam Deck game.

I wish I could be like "yeah I'm just not gonna do my job this time" and nothing would happen to me.

I run Steam on Arch as a Flatpak (because it tends to be pretty messy with dependencies so it's nice to have it all contained in one place) and it's always worked perfectly well for me too.

Yeah I don't hate Ubuntu, I used it as my daily driver for years, but it did get a bit frustrating how they seem to fixate on the new 'shiny' thing (Unity, Mir, the whole convergent desktop thing, now Snaps) and chase after it while other things are left to stagnate, then they seem to get it to where it's almost good, then drop it and go chasing off after something else.

Also, I find that these days there are just better options for a 'just works' kind of distro (like Mint or Pop!OS) so I don't hate Ubuntu, I just have no particular need for it anymore.

I really enjoyed it and the showrunner, Charlie Covell, is someone who's been kind of flying under the radar but I've really enjoyed everything of theirs that I've seen so far. They also adapted The End Of The Fucking World and wrote two really good mini episodes of Banana.

I'd be fine with switching over to Valve's crazy high-speed frog version of Wayland if it came down to it lol

I do love how they just kind of like picked up Linux and dragged it into mainstream gaming lol. Hopefully they're doing the same thing to Wayland now.

I write quite a bit, I have a laptop running Arch Linux (btw), and I use Scrivener for writing. It's a Windows app but it runs perfectly fine under Wine.

As for advice: sometimes I get caught up on the opening line, so to combat this I deliberately try to just write the worst opening line I can possibly think of. It gets it out of the way, and then whatever you write after that will feel like an improvement. Then you can just go back and fix it later once you know what the thing's actually about.

 

This is swiped from reddit but I thought it was really helpful so please don't judge me too harshly lol.

So it turns out that some Linux distros don't enable this by default for whatever reason but if you have an Intel wifi card that uses the iwlwifi driver (you can check this with lspci -k and look for a section that says Network controller: Intel Corporation and Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi under it), you can add a simple line to a config file that might make a huge difference to your wifi speeds.

Just edit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf (if it doesn't exist just create it) and add the line: options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 then reboot. I ran Speedtest before and after trying this on my laptop and it seems to have increased it by about 20% or so.

Your mileage may vary of course, but hopefully this helps someone!
