Fair enough, it is Beehaw's decision in the end. It'll just take a little bit of time before people group up and settle in other communities.

You really don't need to care about whatever's happening with Threads as a casual user

Mostly aesthetically, but also since Linux Mint is a very stable distro updates are usually slow and the packages it uses are often a little outdated. If you're the type of person to want to update to the newest thing as soon as it's out, then it's probably not for you.

I never really liked Twitter as a concept. It feels like it's built on an "old man yells at cloud" concept where people just shout their thoughts and nobody gains anything from it.

By comparison forums are there to foster discussions and communities. I thought Mastodon would be better but I spent 5 minutes and it's exactly the same nonsense.

The PS4 controller just feels great to use. I'm also a fan of the touchpad, it's a shame there are barely any games that used it.

Not surprising considering how popular GloriousEggroll (Nobara's creator & maintainer of Proton-GE) is in the Linux Gaming community. The guy really knows his stuff, and Nobara seems like a great daily driver.

CAN I GET A ROCK AND STONE?

I played Genshin Impact up until I explored the world and beat a couple of bosses. As soon as it asks me to grind dungeons and pulls I dipped out. Gacha games suck, it's always a massive time (or money) sink where you get almost nothing in return. Sure, I could spend a month grinding for that legendary character. Then what? I'll beat one DPS check before getting stuck again and having to grind for the next thing. It's surprising how many people pay money in these games and don't realize how pointless it is.
