The same reputation extends to Windows too so I don’t think it’s a Linux specific issue.

I like the UX as it’s pretty powerful but I’m mindful of being ancient and having spent nearly a decade working with arcane telco applications. I have the opposite of your complaint - I like that it does periodic checks and will notify you of detected problems and usually give you a button to press to solve it.

My biggest pain usually comes in load order management. Usually this is because this is mentioned nowhere but in a note at the bottom of the mod description that might say something like “near the top” or “after mod x”. I don’t know how Steam just handles this mostly but I have a feeling it might be strong categorisation of mods.

No-one has ever told me what’s actually wrong with Vortex.

I had them in RM. RealMedia. Incredibly bad and yet somehow fitting.

What part of my post was complicated? I quite literally said 90% of his problem is ads…

I’m really sorry that you lack the curiosity or confidence to figure out installing qbittorrent and, uh, clicking a link, but I need you to understand that “hook your computer up to your TV and get a wireless keyboard and mouse combo” is going to be more complicated and finicky for most people. Particularly people with kids who don’t want a computer just sitting awkwardly in their living room.

Sounds like 90% of your problem is ads then. Or going to shitty sites. Get on a decent tracker - even the good old one - and have an adblocker installed

It’s 2024 man, tormenting a movie takes about 10 minutes and then you neither have to worry about ads nor connectivity for the rest of the movie

Yeah I agree. Which is why the bot copying all its text here and denying them any traffic from this link aggregator site is bad.

So… basically fuck this website?

Uh

Define popping up in conversation my dude

Is there a good community for sideloading apps to TVs? And/or something like custom roms on phones?

I have a Samsung that seems to be Samung’s closed garden of apps rather than Android proper. They let me down on some promised features, eg Google Voice Assistant (I know, I know, sacrificing security and privacy, but I already have a Google Home listening in elsewhere) that were released in UK but bizarrely they didn’t bother with Ireland despite nearly every requirement being identical. I mean Christ, if my parent’s ancient TV can play Crossy Road why can’t my relatively recent one?

I also have an idle Raspberry Pi that could act as Android box but the motivation isn’t there when my TV is mostly just my kids going between Disney Plus and the Nintendo Switch.

cause DRM free yay!

BG3 doesn’t use Steam for DRM, only for distribution. You could zip up the game’s folder and burn it on a million floppies or whatever, and play the game wherever you like.
