  • Gaming on linux is not that bad today. Look at valve’s success with the steamdeck. All past and present issues are because developers were aiming to a different platform, with proprietary tooling.

    In meme terms, is like Fender made the guitars for people with different hands. You can’t play, but it’s their fault.



  • I have a singlespeed, I live in a mostly flat city. It’s awesome! Most bikes have gears and are more ‘breakable’ as they have all those external moving parts.

    Then, there’s that gear system that is built into the wheel, that’s less breakable but probably less reparaible too.

    So, my advice would be to get a fixie. I used it with the ‘freewheel’ config at first but having switched I learnt of the efficiency in translating hard pushes on the pedal (I don’t stand-up pedal anymore, and most small slopes are a bit easier now!)

    Fixies had a revival for these reasons. Unfortunately, at least in Germany, they’re extremely underrepresented in the market.
