  • From a lore point of view, they’re not that bad and it all makes sense when you consider what the Wachowskis were TRYING to do. All the sequels and all the media associated with the sequels were ambitious to say the least. Reloaded, 4 shorts from the Animatrix, Enter The Matrix (the game), and a collection of comics all tie together the overall lore. it’s a lot. Basically back in the day if you wanted the COMPLETE story for Reloaded you had to watch like 2 shorts from the Animatrix and play Enter The Matrix. The issue is for the third film, while it was filmed at the same time as Reloaded, doesn’t really expand on some of the stuff revealed in the other media that tied into Reloaded.

    The third film simply felt like was something that was forced on the Wachowskis by Warner Bros. Like I imagine very little was cut from both films because they really couldn’t cut anything and it was clearly evident they NEEDED to cut stuff.

    All that being said The Matrix Online continues the story and expands the lore, which was canon, and it actually got quite a bit better.



  • as everyone else has said soulseek and nicotine+.

    If you want to get your spotify playlists from soulseek use this script: https://github.com/fiso64/slsk-batchdl

    basically you export your spotify playlists as a csv and slsk-batchdl will take that and try to find everything on soulseek and download it for you. anything it can’t find it’ll let you know. it might take awhile, if you have a server I’d run it on that via screen and just let it run overnight (that’s what I did)

    Keep in mind that Soulseek has A LOT of audiophiles on it so you’ll find a lot of high quality audio and FLACs. if FLAC is too big for you and you’re fine with mp3s you c an use Nicotine+ to just search for mp3s.









  • there is depending on what distro you’re on and the packages they provide for Plasma.

    Like Arch for example you can get a barebones basic version of KDE Plasma. NixOS you can tell it to ignore certain parts of Plasma from the package when you’re building it. I would assume other distros have something similar. This applies to the settings too. you can literally make your plasma include zero kwin stuff if you wanted.


  • I don’t understand why though. If the files were released tomorrow and it had his name in big bold colourful letters all throughout it what then? I know he’s in them, you know he’s in them, EVERYONE knows he’s in them so what’s the point? motions to impeach the fucker get presented almost every week and go no where. Why would I believe THIS time would be different? Nothing can touch the guy. Hell he lead a coup at one point and US fuckers elected him AGAIN.

    I GUARANTEE you if the files were released tomorrow there would be a collective “A-HA TOLD YA SO” and then jack all because that’s how Americans operate - focus on one thing, get obsessed with it, lose focus, wait for the next thing.





  • yeah try turning off the hardware accelration on the browser…which browser btw?

    if the hardware accelration doesn’t work check the Lutris forums and/or discord to see if anyone has come across the issue. Have you tried running ESO via steam at all? potentially could also check it via protondb.com if you try to run it via steam.

    Generally though there should be scripts with Lutris to install it correctly. But i’d still check with the Lutris forum/discord (they’re really nice and helpful dudes) if the browser thing doesn’t work.



  • if Fortnite is a crucial element for you, and it sounds like it is, you’re going to have to dual boot.

    Games like Fortnite, League of Legends, Valorant, Apex Legends, recent Battlefields, etc aren’t going to work on Linux due to the fact Epic, Riot and EA decided kernel level anti-cheats were their “best” options.

    That being said the majority of games work on Linux and especially via Steam.

    As far as Distros go Bazzite is primarily focused on gaming. If you want something that will do both gaming and work stuff then I’d suggest CachyOS. It’s fast, very fast, great for both work and gaming. It will give you plenty of options for Desktop Environments on install and I would suggest you install it with KDE Plasma so you have a bit of familiarity coming from Windows.
