What worries me is the pattern that's emerging here. The Italo-Turkish War was a testbed for WW1 technology, The Spanish Civil War was a testbed for WW2 technology, are we getting WW3 after this? :/

This performance gains myth sounds like exactly the same wishful thinking as we used to heard back when Gentoo Linux was The Cool Hotness(tm). Don't get me wrong, Gentoo was great, but its added value was not in the compiler optimizations, but rather in the modularity, where you could select a feature set you wanted for your system, and not worry about useless dependencies, their associated support libraries and bugs or vulnerabilities in those.

And when it comes to the kernel, can compile your own on any distribution, including using or omitting any kernel patches you want.

Indeed. My first EUV game will be the waiting game. Two, maybe three years to see how they finish and flesh out this particular early access title.

A potentially interesting topic, but the style in which this article is written is very irritating. It's trying to put words into the reader's mouth, and most of the "replies" are rather insulting and overtly stereotypical.

Back onto the topic itself - some runners run away from something bad in their lives, or have adopted addiction to running to replace some other addiction, usually drugs or overworking. I know a few like that personally, and they are indeed unhappy.

If fascists did not have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

Debian has no software and no ports like system which makes it difficult to get software.

Oh boy. So much ignorance concentrated in so few words. 😬

That works until there is a critical security issue which doesn't care about your free time, but needs an update right now, and you might not be able to only apply the security fix, because your rolling distro gallops ahead in package version numbers.

Give me older, but stable and boring over that any day. :)

I've been running Gentoo and Arch on my primary desktop PC for years back when I was a student and had oodles of free time, but in past decade, Debian is what I need. Including what little gaming I do some evenings.

Debian (or Linux Mint Debian Edition) - ol’ reliable, may have some issues on newer games

Used to, in the first year after Steam Linux client released, because of old libc. But since then, I've had only one or two games not work because of nvidia drivers not being new enough.

Nice. When I get knee pain (hasn't happened for several years now, knocks on wood), I usually go for a walk instead of a run, and see how the knee feels. Sometimes it's nothing, sometimes it's obvious that the knee needs some rest or a doctor visit.

Of course, I'm not their mom. It's just not a smart thing to do if you value your health.

I've run through stress fractures, heart procedures, flus and other physical ailments.

A rather cool data project, but the above sentence completely sours my enjoyment of the article. Please do not do such boneheadedly stupid thing like this just to chase metrics and/or internet points.
