What's the most obscure distro you can think of in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Not super obscure, but not many talk about it. Q4OS, I love it, a perfect windows replacement down to even imitating the old style windows installer. Plus it's Debian based so it has a lot of support. I plan on moving my grandparents to it when windows 10 gets fully discontinued as their current rig doesn't support 11

to add on to this, the video is dated in june 2021, and the patent show in japan wasnt registered until december 2021, which means palworld was already well on the way prior to them actually submitting these patents.

all three of the patents listed in the article have a japanese patent registered on 12/22/21. Palworld appears to have working gameplay mechanics by june of 2021 as shown by their announcement trailer.

Lack of PS5 Pro shortages means some scalpers are re-selling at a loss in c/games@sh.itjust.works

their choices make it harder and harder to actually want to support their project. I haven't seen a good PR release from then in ages.

I didn't find my PlayStation 5 worth the money, I doubt I'll find the pro edition for more money any different

about the time games move to stream only is when I stop buying games. I do not need that network saturation and latency.
