Someone once said “don’t let perfection be the enemy of good” … or something like that.

Anyway, my point is it’s good that this kind of stuff is starting to get into mainstream media, even if they don’t go into as much detail as they could.

They might not have wanted to scare people off by giving them too much information all at once, especially things like the Fediverse which even lots of tech savvy people don’t really understand.

It works fine for me. When you changed servers, did you also change countries? Sometimes all the servers in a country will claim I am connected when I can’t access anything and changing to a different country fixes the problem.

Good spot! The image is exactly the same apart from the nut (which is also exactly the same shape).

As far as I know, all Rimworld mods will work with Linux. You can either subscribe to them on the Steam Workshop (and enable them from the mod menu in-game) or download them manually and put them in the mods folder in the installation directory. I’ve played with modlists that had more than 100 mods in them and never had a Linux related issue.

To answer your other question, I dual booted Linux for a while, mainly because of privacy concerns, but switched to Linux full time around the time Windows 10 came out. The thing that gave me the final push was Windows 10 on my new laptop telling me it couldn’t open a zipped folder and I would need to pay for that feature! There was also a backup copy of W10 on a second drive that I didn’t know about which automatically overwrote Linux when I tried to install it.
