Pretty sure they're just complaining about OP not having elaborated on what mull actually is.

It's even funnier that no, I didn't.

But, if you really want to compare the artistic value of a screenshot of a game, one is equivalent to going out in the world with a camera and composing a photo of your natural surroundings, while the other is the equivalent of typing "anime girl" into google images and saving one of them.

It's honestly less complicated in the end. I'd say probably 95% of people don't really have a need for a dedicated storage OS because everything they want to do is easily accomplished on any Linux install.

If you're only wanting to use Docker and don't need to run VMs I'd just use Debian, and even then you could still run VMs if you really want to.

For me it has always just defaulted to the left-most monitor. I had a script that would disable that monitor with xrandr when sddm loaded and then re-enable it on logon, but I couldn't get something similar working in Wayland.

I went from OMV, to TrueNAS, to just mounting the drives directly on my Proxmox host, combining them with mergerfs, and then sharing them from a samba container they're bind-mounted to.

Unless you have some fairly complex storage needs I'd say go with a good hypervisor over a dedicated storage OS with a hypervisor tacked on.

Maybe you think they're lame because those are screenshots of an actual game being rendered in realtime, and not just a picture someone drew for a visual novel with some text over it.

I'm having trouble digging it up, but the person who created Steamspy a number of years ago, before privacy laws made public profiles opt-in and interfered with its ability to collect data, found that the majority of Steam accounts only had a single game in their libraries.

A lot of those are going to be alts people made to evade game/server bans or smurf.

I may or may not have made 10 accounts that only had Garry's Mod on them circa 2010.

A lack of analog controls is definitely an issue. Having digital buttons on keys that are either 100% on or off loses a ton of fine control.

Playing GTA and need to make a slight left while driving? On a gamepad you just slightly tilt the stick left to make a smooth turn. On keyboard you have to do a bunch of short little taps on A (and D when you inevitably oversteer) to stop yourself from jerking the wheel left.

I remember really wanting a Logitech G13 when they came out but I could never justify spending the money on one.

How do you aggressively tell someone you're using a game engine? Are you being accosted on the street?

They're already ignoring robots.txt, so I'm not sure why anyone would think they won't just ignore this too. All they have to do is get a new IP and change their useragent.

"I burned this CD [to a blank CD]."

That's exactly where it stops making sense.

If you have a painting, and you show it to someone and ask "Could you paint this?", they would assume you're asking if they'd be able to sit down at a blank canvas and paint the same picture.

If you have a painting and say "I painted this", they're going to assume you're talking about the painting in your hands, not a reproduction you made that's hanging up in your garage.
