It’s way easier to move from one Linux distro to another if Valve starts enshittifying SteamOS (which would really suck) than it is to move from Windows to Linux. Either way this is a good stepping stone that’s well supported.

Read the latest reviews and you’ll hear differently.

This latest generation of ARC GPUs is very promising. I’m really glad there’s finally some good budget gaming GPUs out there. Intel has really committed to this product line, and I really hope it continues to pay off.

The price/performance is fantastic, the power efficiency is decent, and the feature set is way beyond expectations–almost caught up with Nvidia on their second attempt. The rate of improvement is impressive.

I have some friends still on GTX 10 series cards that would love this upgrade. That being said, personally, there’s no reason for me to switch yet. As soon as Intel has something that can beat an RTX 3080Ti via higher tiers or next gen, I’ll gladly ditch Nvidia.

Think Different Freely.

When you install Windows, you don’t really control your computer. Microsoft does.

Also, if you’re making something similar to Smash Bros, remember to keep the movesets/combos relatively simple. Too many complicated combos will make it harder to pick up and will be harder to balance.

Potential names:

• FOSS Fighters
• Open Tournament
• Libre Brawl (Or some combination of these)

I think is best to start with common archetypes (think DnD classes) and make movesets that feel right within those stereotypes. That should make a good starting point and you can tweak from there.
