Thanks, lol. I hope they realize soon that Rust is not forced to be used. Also the US government didn't even talk about Rust only, but memory safe languages and listed Rust as an example.

I would encourage you to do so. I do not think it would be wrong to learn how to use a common Open Source program like this. If you watch lot of YouTube, there is a channel Davies Media Design that teaches a lot of stuff in GIMP:
- YouTube directly: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq79-lfj2w7oRXGRcOP2B7g
- or through Invidious (an anonymized YouTube client in the browser): https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/channel/UCq79-lfj2w7oRXGRcOP2B7g
There’s no such thing as a language that’s advantages outweigh the security risks of rushed development to convert decades of tested code.
Who said or suggested that anyway? Other than bringing this up now. Who says to convert decades of tested code to rushed code of new language?? Do people read the stuff before they reply?
Making them die by Ai instead by human doesn't help anybody.
You wouldn't be first who asks this. There are attempts and instructions how to do this, step by step. But I'm not confident enough to recommend any of those. Maybe they are outdated or your machine requires some setup which is not covered. I do not recommend doing this, but if you have no time to setup a new OS from scratch, then at least make a backup before attempting any of this.
I would ask those on the official EndeavourOS forum, which is active and helpful: https://forum.endeavouros.com/
EndeavourOS. I used Manjaro for 1.5 years before switching to EndeavourOS. (BTW before that I was also using Ubuntu for 13 years in row...) I couldn't be happier. It's closer to Archlinux and a bit more focused on terminal, but overall hassle free for me. Updates come quicker and not in batches like Manjaro did. Which means more often new versions of packages and no compatibility or other issues with AUR caused by Manjaro. What desktop environment did you use before? KDE is pretty good on EndeavourOS and what I would recommend.
- No opt-out or opt-in telemetry.
- Same package manager and repository from Archlinux.
- You have already experience with Manjaro and the Archlinux stuff, so going to a similar system like EndeavourOS makes sense. However its a bit more terminal oriented, with a few GUI related help.
Because of your prior experience with Manjaro, I think EndeavourOS is a good candidate you should have in mind.
This has nothing to do with current market share.
Hehe. I never played War Gods, but always read about it. That game is more like Mortal Kombat in gameplay style, as it is from the same makers. Fight of Gods plays a little bit more Street Fightish, with its moveset and gameplay feel. And the audiovisuel styling is more like Soul Calibur, but not that good off course.
I'm a huge emulation and retro fan. Maybe I'll check War Gods out today. :-)
Yes, the DRM free games is a huge win for preservation. I'm not discounting the value of GOG. But that's something we had already. My critique was about the focus on Windows only, which is not the best idea if games should be preserved "forever". Because Windows 11 will be the only supported one soon.
But any efforts trying to make games work forever is always good. At least they didn't rule out other OS in the future. While my initial reaction was a bit negative in the nature, because I was very disappointment, I'm still happy they do something about it. It's even more bitter because they supported Linux in the past... But let's see how this is going. I don't want to end this in a negative note. I mean it can only get better with such a goal.
There is Fight of Gods, a mediocre 1v1 fighting game (in the style of Street Fighter). Has a few pretty cool music.

Well its possible to have a bridge system, like its possible with Discord and Matrix. So from technical standpoint, I think it would be possible, unless they choose to not.
As for the centralized vs decentralized, BlueSky uses the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_Protocol , which is decentralized. If you do not agree to this, then do you have an explanation to why?
Edit: Funny enough I read this AT_Protocl is Based on ActivityPub, according to the Wikipedia article.
I'm not suggesting to preserve a Linux version only. If anything, I meant to test and make sure the Windows build works with Proton on Linux, in addition to making sure it works on Windows. Some games have Linux versions, they just do not care about them either. And maybe make a Linux version of the GOG launcher as well.
