I’m thinking along the lines of older spouse dies, younger spouse marries someone younger and becomes the older spouse. Then older spouse dies again and repeat. Has anything like this happened in a long enough chain to be significant? Is it so mundane no one cares?

I guess this is kind of asking for direction, but also just airing out my grievances.

I have tried multiple times to play skyfactory 4 and have stopped every time. I just started a new skyfactory 3 and am starting to realize why I don’t like skyfactory 4. 4 feels very linear to me. Everything is centered on bonsai trees. Maybe later with huge mega farms mystical agriculture could take over but it’s way too far away and I lose interest far before then. 3 keeps helping you move forward because there are so many things to try even in early game that makes you want to push into new mods.

The second reason I stopped might just be preference, but i feel like 3 is easier to scale making the grind feel shorter. Things like extreme reactors and tinkers construct can start small and then grow with you as your production increases. I also do like that there are some mods that help a ton (some would say broken) that help move things if you know about them e.g. cloches in immersive engineering. I just feel like 4 has been optimized to draw out the grind in one mod at a time.

4 seems great and I want to love it, but I just run out of steam too early. The last time I even let myself move through some grind by using creative to fill in things once I had made a couple of something.

I am open to suggestions and people telling me I am wrong. I would just like to know how everyone addresses my issues.

Thank you all in advance!

So I am new to Linux and have made it my main driver in the last month. So far I have been able to solve problems as they come up and I have not had major problems.

What I need from my machine is a platform to do my mechanical engineering homework, do some hobby programming, and play video games on it. I have been able to get things working for my needs on the first two accounts. I need help setting my computer up for games now.

My problem is quite a few games I have tried to play slow to a crawl then freeze my entire system. I have checked the protondb website and on games I am having problems with people often are saying that with proton it works out of the box, sometimes even when they are using similar setups as I am. I use an NVIDIA graphics card, which I know is part of the problem, but don’t have the money or means to buy a new graphics card that is comparable for the next while. My drivers are updated and most things “should” work but maybe I am missing some basic setup somewhere to help proton, and steam do their thing. I am willing to go so far as changing my distribution but am stuck right now with the hardware. Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

My digital audio converter has always switched my audio. On windows I found an application that could do it, but I have been unsuccessful so far on Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a quick way to see what instances are federated with each other? I know for a while (and maybe still are) beehaw and Lemmy.ml defederated from Lemmy.world. Are they still defederated? Is it worthwhile to post on their communities if those users won’t see it?

I have grown up around Linux and have had people like my dad use it near me my whole life. I even booted a fedora version once on a very old machine when I was younger as a way for my dad to teach me about Linux. Sadly I never really caught on at the time.

I am ready to really jump in now. Is there a beginners guide/pros cons comparison for different distribution of Linux? I am also curious about how well things like matlab, solidworks, and Office suit/libra office work in Linux.

Thank you!

Mostly the title, but it would be nice to have more options now that Reddit and Twitter have alternatives. I would love to see a YouTube and ticktock version. Maybe even an instagram as well.
