Sonic Origins used the same engine and basically was like "people seem to like classic Sonic games. Let's make Sonic Mania themed in Genesis era games".

And yet.....they STILL fucked it up. Not as badly as they usually do, mind you, but still.

Probably for docked Decks attached to a 4K TV/Display.

There is no "objective" when talking about subjective terms.

My personal, SUBJECTIVE favorites are Mass Effect, Titanfall 2, Subnautica, Stardew Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dave the Diver, Balatro, and Portal 1 and 2

Now that's not fair.

We also measure our largest bottles of diabetes-causing high fructose corn syrup and water we call soda in liters.

Flatpak is a fully open source technology. You're thinking of Snaps.

Why?

It's always interesting seeing the different experiences people have. I have way less problems on Linux with games than I do on Windows. Mostly because every time I would boot into Windows, I'd have to spend 15-20 minutes on a good day installing patches for games and Windows Updates.

Are you sure about that? You still have to step through a dozen setup screens and forcefully sign into a Microsoft account. Then, you have to update your new computer and reboot 4-5 times to install all updates often sequentially.

Meanwhile, in Linux-land, it installs the latest packages and updates during install when using a net installer.

Thanks for the PTSD.

You can turn that off and apply patched live, if you prefer. It's just a toggle.

Technically rebooting and installing updates is "safer" but I've never had an update applied to a running system fail catastrophically, because unlike Windows, operating system components are compartmentalized. As such, restarting most system components causes no issues with functionality for everything else.

A performance uplift plus double or tripled battery life compared to running on Windows.....hot damn that's impressive.

Get rekt Windows.

IMHO you shouldn't have to run a stripped down Windows to get good results. It should just work that way out of the box. LTSC is not supposed to be a consumer OS.
