Nice, I once modeled my phone aesthetic after EndeavourOS' default Plasma look. Some Linux DEs have some very nice aesthetics to them, especially when distros make their own custom default (eg. Garuda Dr460nized).

I just wanted another folder at / in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

Immutable seems like a good idea and it is for security or for a console-like PC but for any sort of intermediate or advanced user, it's not such a good idea.

Could I theoretically keep gaming on windows 10, while doing any other work (banking etc) on linux? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

You CAN but it's a matter of time before you'll have to upgrade to 11 or go 100% Linux because drivers and game clients eventually stop supporting EoL operating systems.

I don't need fancy stuff, I just want good movies to see. I'd also love to see more shows get theatrical releases, at least for season finales. "Survival Sunday" for The Walking Dead was great: season 8's epic finale and the intro to a new era of Fear, all before it officially aired, and participants got a limited edition poster.

The Chosen has also been airing entire seasons in theaters, split into three parts, before it heads to Prime Video and then their free app. They also have a Christmas special with a special episode and musical performances of Christmas songs.

That sort of stuff is what I enjoy but I'm not going to the theater to see mediocre movies (which is basically all Hollywood is making these days).

If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Probably Plasma because it's familiar and you're able to customize it extensively over time.

Is Linux support still needed nowadays, or is Steam OS good enough? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Native Linux support is always preferable if the developer can handle it or has the budget to do so. However, as long as it works well via Proton, that's the important part. I don't follow him anymore due to several reasons but Gardiner Bryant has a video about this, it's a pretty solid watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uScsmjvdwyo

Love to see it. I haven't used MS Office in well over a decade at this point and I have no plans to go back. LibreOffice is fantastic, suits all my needs, doesn't pack itself with bloat and it respects my freedom and privacy. What more can I want from an office suite?

More like I'm just sick of people hijacking my favorite art form to express political/social issues or sexual fetishes, both of which are becoming too common. It's exactly why I've grown more and more in favor of retro gaming, back when neither of those expressions were anything but a fringe group of miserable individuals and weirdos that most gamers ignored. Not going to argue further, I've spoken my piece.
