"Nowadays" ? They're just getting good! Did you mean to say, "why are mobile games that suck, so popular" ? It's because they're accessible and usually F2P .
Oh yeah. I get it. I guess that's why I stopped playing those long ago 🙂
I'm a huge mobile gamer though. It's amazing what we can play on our phones with an xbox controller. It's better than the pc experience for me because I can map the controller how I want to and am not stuck with the defaults.
Tons of amazing games coming this year.
ZZZ
wuthering waves
Azur Promelia
Etc.
What you call rigamarole is the standard way to map button presses to tge screen. It only looks like rigamarole to a PC user who is coming to gripa with how a controller interfaces with a screen. A third party mapping utility is STANDARD use case because you're mapping button presses to the screen. That's litterally how it works and it works well.
When we mobile game players play games THIS is how we play and this IS THE reason why what you call "mobile games" TsumTsum candy crush etc are losing popularity because people be playing more intense games on mobile these days. Because of controller support.
I remember way back trying to play genshin on my pc and it wouldnt let me map the right button trigger to attack , like i like it and I was like, i'm just going back to mobile.
That's what we do. Xbox controller comes with a clip on. This is mobile gaming. Been this way for about 5 years now. Popularized by pubg at first but then more of this controller style games came along and the button mapper apps got a lot better. Right now the best are Octopus and Mantis. I prefer mantis.
So I found a trick , people.
I use my palm of my hand for my fingerprint reader, instead of a finger.
The best place ive found is the nub/palm oposite your nuckle at the base of the index finger. Open your hand, bend all fingers back and it will stick out enough to be pressed to the reader.
Now just waiting for "facial expression unlock" . My phone should only unlock if I smile at it or make a kiss face etc.
I made a post a few days ago asking your opinion on Manjaro and it was very mixed, with a slightly negative overall opinion. I heard some recommend EndeavourOS instead and did some online research and it seems to be pretty solid and not have the repository problem that Manjaro has....
Endeavor is basically an installer for Arch. It is litterally Arch so if arch has issues Endeavor will be affected.
Manjaro, on the otherhand is downstream from arch so when arch has an issue manjaro testinh branches will catch it before they get to the stable stream.
If you want to have fun with the open ocean waves of upstream Arch then go with Endeavor.
It is overly hyped for what it is. They basically took over from Antergos .
I am a Linux noobie and have only used Mint for around six months now. While I have definitely learned a lot, I don’t have the time to always be doing crazy power user stuff and just want something that works out of the box. While I love Mint, I want to try out other decently easy to use distros as well, specifically not based...
You cannot get an unbiased opinion asking on reddit or especially lemmy since this is where predominantly fedora and arch purists live.
What you will see is Fedora users hate Manjaro's popularity because they are in direct competition. Fedora is the downstream of RHL just as Ubuntu is downstream of Debian and Manjaro is Downstream of Arch. RPM and RHL just have not gained traction over the years from new users due to Debian and Arch dominance.
Second are the Arch purists who will tell you that Manjaro is not arch since similarly Ubuntu is not debian. But what happens is you get tons of newbs coming to Arch and in the support forums and arch purists realize that Manjaro has a popularity which makes them jealous. Similar to how debian purists act towards ubuntu newbs .
The thing is, when a big team and community establish a polished down stream service, it will always be more popular and more polished than the upstream since it is building on what the upstream have already provided.
Manjaro is amazing . They really are the ubuntu of arch.
A fedora or arch purist cannot handle those words and will have to find something that happened while back with SSL keys getting miss managed or experimentors who mix a ton of AUR packages with their testing branches etc.
Well ubuntu users screw up their systems when they mix a bunch of debian packages into it. Same thing.
Manjaro to be honesty is frankly killing it. Amazing team and stable rolling downstream arch for newbs. They have three streams, unstable, testing and stable. I've been on stable for years with zero issues. I've got a few AUR packages which build easily . Plus new users get adequately warned when adding AUR packages and mostly it is not necessary since manjaro provides everything in their repos anyways. Installing flatpaks are a sinch and even git packages through the AUR.
The interface is also amazingly polished and I LOVE the ease they give you of installing newer or older kernels.
Data on search engine market share is available, but I wonder what that looks like for Lemmy users in particular, who I would assume lean more technical than the average user, so probably use DuckDuckGo and alternates more than Google....
Perhaps I've misunderstood how Lemmy works, but from what I can tell Lemmy is resulting in fragmentation between communities. If I've got this wrong, or browsing Lemmy wrong, please correct me!...
I run a few groups, like @fediversenews, mostly on Friendica. It's okay, but Friendica resembles Facebook Groups more than Reddit. I also like the moderation options that Lemmy has....
Too highly moderated. "Can I go owt an pway wif my fwends dad? " for real. You all need to chill out a bit. What was the whole point in federating if you're just gonna mod the $$&%# out of everything 🤷♂️ chill out, for real.

Good for twitter. What is called "harassement" is usually not. Time for people to grow up . Moderation is fascism . Everybody went to federated service to be free only to jump right into big police moderation.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to go back i promise, quite the contrary actually cause I think spez plans to just decrease the cost of the API and act like it was a bargain deal sacrifice while not solving any of the issues at all...
