    I would agree with your that there is no perfect place and system on earth, but geez, there are HUGE differences in social welfare systems. Also, spreading misinformation does not help you to get your point across.



  • I think a major point in terms of motivation is that the procedural generation is too homogenic. The planets differ too less, such that after only a few hours, the inital sensation wears off and you basically have already seen everything relevant there is out there. Maybe this has changed but this was especially a big factor for me why I lost interest quite quickly.


  • I played NMS a couple of years ago. The seemless transition from planet to space, the vastness of the galaxy and a lot of the gameplay elements kept me playing for several hours. But after that it felt like the game was not super deep gameplay-wise and I cannot find motivation in just decorating planets.

    Obviously, I missed several updates since then but I am wondering whether the progression and gameplay got more depth to it?

    The developers seem to be really sophisticated and I am very thankful for how they maintain and support their game.












  • Thank you guys so much for all your recommendations and thoughts! After some further analysis I decided to install Bazzite for the following reasons:

    • shares a lot of similarities with other Atomic distros
    • but has all the nice gaming related things pre-installed and configured and it uses a properly pre-installed Steam (not the Flatpak version) (the main reason why I chose it over Aurora, which would have been my next best pick)
    • my qemu virtual machines run perfectly fine (also the shared folder)
    • some dev stuff already pre-installed (don’t think I need more than there already is)
    • fast and the OS feels like made out of one block, very consistent
    • I was ready to use my machine like I want to in basically no time
    • I already love the atomic way of handling updates
    • so far no issues

    The only thing left for me to do is to figure out how to properly install SyncThing and Zerotier-One, then I am absolutely set.



  • I think I will opt for one of the atomic distros like Bazzite or Aurora, since yes, it seems very interesting and a nice project, but learning Nix just to get eventually a working system running again won’t be the right thing for me. But I will definitely load it into a VM and try it out when I have more time at hands!


  • The problem is with Arch. Not that it is by design bad, it is just that with software under heavy development will add new issues more easily, especially if you roll out updates very fast, which happens with a rolling distro. And like the other user already said: not updating your system is a bad idea.
