Hmm… I may have to try Manjaro again, but the simple fact that there are 2 GUI package managers is not a great sign for total noobs. The main reason I’ve been staying away from it tho is the cert controversy and the arch repo ddos.

Yeah I know it has a GUI app for installing software, though IIRC isn’t it more similar to something like Synaptic than GSoftware?

I’ve actually had pretty bad experiences with Manjaro. No. 1, it cones with a lot of “apps” that aren’t obvious in what they do, and package management on Arch and Arch-based distros is very very not obvious to beginners (Syu? What does Syu mean. Wait, you mean I’m updating my whole system every time I want to install something? Where’s GNOME Software? Etc)

Makes sense! I guess without an antivirus there’s no way of distinguishing legitimate activity from illegitimate activity at the system level when dealing with downloaded programs. Also, my Voyager app decided that your “link” was actually a link and tried to make an embed lol

That makes a lot of sense, thanks!

I know nothing about software. That’s… Why I asked.

I understand that antivirus software is necessary on Windows, but I’ll never understand the existence of Windows Defender. If Microsoft knows enough to prevent a virus that exploits something in windows, why are they putting their effort into an antivirus program, and not fixing ththe problem in Windows? If someone has a good explanation for this, I’d love to hear it.

So… Windows?

Fascinating. Good to know…

Starbound. I’ve played the crap out of it. I still haven’t finished it tho…

Oh I know. I have a linux laptop that I use for gaming. I’m just going to a party where we plan to play gmod and some of the others don’t have laptops so I thought I’d see if my Mac would be suitable. It wasn’t.

Just tried Steam for Mac the other day, and there is a very good reason why it’s so low. Modern macs don’t even let you play games made for Mac!! Since 32-bit support was dropped, you pretty much can’t play any Source games like HL2 or Gmod.

Personally, I host Sandstorm, and Discord music bot, and Minecraft.
