Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes
This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Distro hopping. I have installed 4 distros in the last 24 hours. I am going insane but I cannot stop. I am typing this as a new OS is being downloaded.
This is pretty much how I feel while playing souls games. Beating my head against a wall, trying new things and failing each time. Eventually, I will find my dream distro.
how do you evaluate distros?
Responsiveness. This is relevant to me because I have older hardware. PopOS was a hard no for me because even its installer was laggy on my system. Once installed, it was okay but worse than others.
App compatibility. I know that all distros can run anything but the ease of it is different. For example, Lutris did not open successfully in Debian but it opened easily with all others.
Flatpak support. Again, all distros are compatible but for some reason Debian gives error while downloading Cisco packages. I have never seen it with anything else.
App Store. It is a good idea if there is ability to browse system as well as flatpak packages in a store. This is not an absolute necessity but nice to have.
Desktop environment. This is probably the most subjective and irrational criteria. Some distros just click, like Mint Cinnamon. And some others just don’t, like Gnome. I can install any DE on any distro but I prefer the out of the box versions.
Popularity. This is very counter intuitive since distro choice is personal but I am not a techie who can verify code on my own. So it is best if an existing community does it for me.
