Yeah this was an update from June. I've been using Rider 2024.2 when writing C# for my own personal Godot project(s) for the last month or so. I can say it's been pretty smooth. All of the friction I encountered was mostly in setup. You have to point Rider at your Godot binary to ensure it can launch the editor, specific scenes, or a headless language server. This was slightly difficult at first because I was using the Godot flatpak, but I got it sorted out. Most features you'd expect (syntax highlighting, goto definition/invocation, automatic imports, etc.) are there and the IDE is capable of launching specific packed scenes or the editor itself if you need it. I can't speak to how this plugin compares to other engine plugins (Unity), but I have yet to run into any issues.

was BF4 last PB game?

I think that was Battlefield Hardline, but I could be wrong.

Would this replace the existing PunkBuster?

Did this studio ever actually produce anything? Or did Netflix just have these highly-compensated C-suite guys on payroll for 2 years doing nothing?

Let's go deeper. Liquids are pretty crazy, am I right?

I'm not so sure about all perpetual licenses being scams. I've personally used Jetbrain's perpetual fallback license for the 2018 version of their IDEs for 4+ years until I decided to renew. I never once felt scammed there, so I would say there IS a right way to do perpetual licenses.

"We have investigated ourselves and have found that we've done nothing wrong." has been a line that's come up quite a bit in the last few years specifically when a company or organization starts investigating itself. Let's see how that plays out for Ubisoft.

I can't remember how I rescued it now but managed to get it back without a reinstall

You could've booted into a previous generation where you still had all those things on your system. The glory of atomic distros :)

I didn't recognize most of these, but I've played a ton of Kingsway. It's a very fun RPG where the Game itself is an Operating system and all the actions you'd normally take in casual desktop usage translate to game mechanics. I've had a lot of fun with it and it's a real shame to see it on this list.

I did for some time. There's beauty in the simplicity and flexibility of Alpine, plus BusyBox is great once you understand all the weird quirks between it and coreutils. As unpopular as it might be, I actually really like OpenRC. Alpine feels pretty close to BSD if you're familiar with that family of operating systems. These days I use it for just about all my servers save for a few Nix boxes.

If you decide to explore this route, here are a couple tools I found useful at the start:

  • Conty - A single executable that launches applications in a standalone Linux Container
  • x11docker - Run GUI apps and desktop environments in docker and podman containers.

Also might behoove you to check out Alpine community's documentation on chroots in case you need specific software that isn't available otherwise.

Since no one answered you here, I'll say distrochooser.de isn't bad at all. For the new linux user who is comfortable enough trying new things, I think it's perfect. It does lose its usefulness if you've already tried all of the options it offers, but at that point you probably don't need distrochooser anyway.
