$14 isn't bad for a complete game free of microtransactions, especially one with as much content as FFT.
If that's too much, but you don't like free to play economy stuff like gacha (I agree with this, BTW), then I suggest emulation. You can get ppsspp and Joan of Arc or Ogre Battle, for instance. Both are great games, full of the tactical goodness you're looking for.
What the hell? Look, man, I hate the guy but he's remarkably consistent: he works for his interests. Even when he does dumbshit things like buy Twitter, the thinks he's operating in his interests.
He's not complicated. He's a self absorbed piece of shit. That's really all you ever need to know about the fucker.
I disagree. Don't get me wrong, vim is amazing and all that, but I think nano is easier for new users to grok out of the box, making it a better choice most of the time. What it lacks in features it makes up for in transparency.
100% agree about the minimal set of desktop apps, though. That drives me crazy.
Just my 0.02$.
Edit: silly mistakes and clarification
That's…
Yeah. Perfect post. I have nothing to add except for my congratulations, internet stranger. You have won The Internet.
This was my immediate thought. It ticks all the boxes.
I apologize; I didn't mean to be hostile. I can see how my comment was a bit gruff, and I'm sorry.
Endeavor is the one to go for if you want Arch with a graphical installer. It gives you a fairly pure Arch system without a lot of extra stuff, and I like the purple theme.
Are you being serious?
That's a mosquito. They bite and drain blood. Their saliva causes itching, redness, and mild swelling in most humans.
They're also disease carriers. They carry zika, west nile, and malaria, which has killed more people in human history than all wars put together.
So yeah. Foe.
I feel like it's more customizable than Mate, and more easy to customize, and better looking out of the box. And that's coming from a Gnome fan.
Who's talking about Debian? You mentioned Endeavor, which is Arch with a pretty installer and a purple theme.
So you use the arch installer script:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall
And then install the Plasma Desktop package:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE
That's what I'd do anyway. But if you want a graphical installer, then Endeavor has a KDE option in the installer. It's a pretty nice looking default, but KDE is super customizable. That's kinda its whole thing.
If you want a full DE that leans in on customization, go KDE. It's clean, looks great, and is customizable as all holy hell.
As for distros, I personally stopped with Arch based distros as anything other than a novelty. If you want Arch, use Arch. The Arch installer script makes it easy. It's not as pretty as Calamares, but it's better.
This is horrifying and should absolutely be shared... but I feel like OP may have missed the point of this community. Any chance you wanna maybe remove this post and put it somewhere else?
This is crazy left-field, but I always recommend Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura. They aren't, like, a lot like what you're asking for, but they're both absolute classics of manga and had an incredible influence on shonen manga the came after them. Both are upbeat, both are funny (especially UY) and full of action (especially Ranma), and are just generally great reads.
If not that, Assassination Classroom is pretty amazing, and maybe closer to what you're asking for.
