  • If you want to delay your switch to Linux, there are scripts to enroll in the ESU, but unfortunately the local account script stopped working on the one I used. Have not tested massgravel’s. Other options are to get Win 10 LTSC, or keep your system disconnected from the Internet.

    An aside: My main desktop is Linux but I am currently trying Winboat to get the last piece of my hardware dependence off (my 20 year old DAC and rocksmith 2014) to work. Then, I can finally nuke Windows off of my secondary laptop because I’m sure as hell not giving it Win 11.




  • On the topic of ‘hills to die on’, I will say I have gained a significant respect for you over the last 2 years, for sticking to your principles on this and following through on them.

    We might disagree on the best way to do things. I’d witnesed you in the past receiving a lot of pushback (to put it lightly) for a well-intentioned but controversially implemented project (the whole Reddit mirroring and account claiming thing you tried). If I had been in your shoes at the time, I would probably have quit Lemmy and the Fediverse entirely for something else in order to try to pursue that vision. Yet, you’ve stayed with it, with the aim to refine your ideas on how to better bring decentralized social media to the general public. So kudos to you for your resoluteness on this.





  • Character ideas: The KDE Konqi, Katie and the whole host of dragons (Yoshi style). Xenia the Fox alternate Linux mascot. Lemmy and Mastodon mascots.

    Provisional name idea: Smashtest (like Minetest until they figured out to call themselves Luanti).

    Other name ideas: Open Source Battle Royale

    Stage ideas:

    • Smart Home (Home Assistant themed),
    • GRUB (a few traversable lines or options)
    • GRUB rescue (one line, Final Destination style)
    • Rapid Coding (a DK falls-style scrolling map)
    • vim (a close quarters map similar to the Game & Watch map, optionally with walls as the characters are “stuck in vim”)
    • i3 (a pre-made map styled in a tiling window way, or perhaps dynamically splits the stage during battle)
    • compiz (do whatever you want as long as it looks cool, wobbly, wavy, cubey or 3d-like)
    • Hannah Montana Linux or Biebian (without a picture of the person in question but the colour scheme and the shape of stage elements would highly imply it’s those distributions)
    • Blender 3D interface
    • FreeCAD animated assembly

    Special Move ideas (that can work with most characters):

    • Update (a small rest/vulnerable period followed by a buff)
    • Mailing List (a beam of emails)
    • Harden/Vulnerability Patch (could paint/plaster offensive move, or it could be a curl up defensive move or roll around like yoshi/sonic/jigglypuff etc.
    • Release Candidate (powerful offensive move with some drawback or self damage)
    • Bug catch (a forceful two handed clap in front, or using a net)

    Other attacks:

    • cronjob (Tux tosses a clock that explodes)
    • Tail whips
    • Fire breath

    Obstacles, enemies, hazards:

    • a bug
    • a kernel panic/freeze
    • the meditation guru
    • firejail
    • a green-coloured GPU driver
    • git issues
    • dependencies/dependency hell
    • Blender default cube

    Your game doesn’t have to have every single element FOSS-themed, as it might make it feel too nerdy, but if you were short on this kind of idea and wanted some, here you go.
