  • I absolutely loved 2. I beat 2 before I beat 1, but went back and beat 1, and beat 2 multiple more times.

    I can’t say I have an order, but I love:

    • Kingdom Hearts 2
    • Kingdom Hearts 3
    • Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep

    Those are my favorite from the series as whole.

    I really couldn’t ever get into Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories or Re:Chain of Memories.

    Back in the day, I bought Birth by Sleep and beat it, but wanted more; so there was an English Patch of the final mix for PSP available and beat that too. And when the collection came out on PS4 (Before the PC release) I went and bought a PS4 Pro just for KH collection. Which now I am going back and beating all of them again but on Proud.




  • I tried using Bazzite since I didn’t want to fuss with Wayland on Nvidia with Arch.

    I had more gripes and more issues with an immutable distro than I ever did with my Arch install.

    Stuck it out with Arch. It has taught me a lot.

    The problem many folks have with Arch is the fact they don’t want to read or learn; well, newsflash, if you read and learn Arch isn’t exactly all that hard to use, setup, or maintain. It has better documentation than Bazzite and other newer distros. In fact, Arch Wiki has saved me hassle for other distros.

    Your mileage may vary. However, I wouldn’t recommend an immutable distribution nec3ssarily to someone coming from Windows unless they want to shift from one paradigm to another.

    Switching from Windows to something with such a vastly different approach in many cases will turn users away from using Linux. Their experience can dictate they switch away because of lack of knowledge and then proced to conflate every distro as just one “Linux” experience and not want to look back at it.

    I still stand by one thing you will always hear me say: use the right tool for the job.








  • I wasn’t meaning to conflate the two, as I see your point. I didn’t claim it was FOSS, just that the source was available.

    I know for me, I don’t mind using software that is licensed so that it doesn’t directly fall under FOSS. I just like the availability to view the source vs closed source software being a total black box.

    I have no plans to monetize their work, nor fork it, only use it.


  • I know I don’t want to open up any more ports than I have to, but you’re right, that does sound like another alternative to setting up VPN.

    Since I access more than just my pihole when connected to my home network. And because I want access to my home services, and don’t want to open up access to the public, opening one port and connecting to VPN is the way to do it. I have one port opened up for my VPN, and in order to connect you have to have my IP or my domain pointed at the IP, and you have to have a Wireguard profile setup, and know what port is open. So that does help a tad bit with my security concerns.

    Edit: how would I go about that if I felt so inclined? Any tips?






  • I may have misspoke, I use an AUR helper to install many programs and utilities, and am not at my computer to view the actual source. So I took a gamble and guessed AUR. My apologies.

    It could have been other instability, as I mentioned in another comment I didn’t really look too deep into it since it wasn’t so important. And by no means am I blaming Thunderbird (regardless of source) for the issues I have had. It truly is a great email client.


    Edit: It is from official source, not AUR. I have the same setup on my personal laptop. It came from Extras, and not AUR.

    May have to investigate a bit. May have to figure out each directory to purge, do a pacman -Rnsu thunderbird

    Then purge directories related, then reinstall.
