Funny thing just happened. Started working on a new project at work and in order to get properly set up I have to get WSL up and running. How convenient, and more than a little coincidental with the timing.

Futurama. Without a doubt.

Oh, I’m certainly not arguing with you. I have to use Windows for work and hate it. Been daily driving Linux for years on my own PC. I should find out if I can get WSL up and running on my work machine. I’ve been contenting myself with git bash thus far. PowerShell is at least better than CMD, but truthfully I’ve never really put the effort in to learn it properly since I very rarely need to do anything complicated on the command line in Windows.

Yes, they knew that, you described it fine. They were asking if Window’s equivalent, PowerShell or CMD is preferable. Though they fail to realize that most Windows users will never need to use either of those tools under normal operation, even if they could choose to use them to simplify some tasks. The terminal in Linux is encouraged, whereas equivalent(-ish) tools in Windows are optional and really only required for Sys Admins.

Multiplayer games often use a third party anti-cheat software. Some of them work on Linux, some of them don’t. What the previous commenter was referring to specifically is that some anti-cheat, like easy anti cheat has been updated to work in proton, but it requires that game developer push out an update to enable that functionality. Some do, and some (Bungie) have outright refused to do it, and even threaten bans for players that try to play on Linux.

Yeah, that was my impression of the game as well. It didn’t look very interesting.

YDIFRC (You do, in fact, remember/recall correctly.)

Star Trader Frontiers is also available on Android and iOS and is pretty good.

Plus, IIRC it’s got a procedural ASCII face generator.

Paradox recently announced that one of the studios they publish for is working on another life sim too. Don’t know much about that, but given it’s Paradox it’s going to suffer the same issues that EA has with just so much DLC to make it a complete game.

I tend to get bored of games fairly quickly. I’ll hop from game to game to game, over and over again, never (rarely) beating a game before moving on to the next. Sometimes I come back to these games I’ve abandoned and start over, only to repeat the cycle. There’s only one game that I keep going back to again and again. The Sims. I do wish there were other competing life sim games that offered a similar amount of content and mod support, but alas, there’s nothing out there quite like it yet.
