It should be noted that, for louster, the anvil that broke the camel's back was getting BTFO by mustardoverlord. Hopefully our last producer(s?) won't be so dead wrong on an issue that they get horribly ratioed, and this can't be stressed enough, by mustardoverlord.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as frames per second, is in fact, frametime, or as I've recently taken to calling it, frame pacing. Frames per second is not an efficient means of measuring performance unto itself, but rather a measurement pertaining to the number of frames generated in a single second, but does not take into account the amount of time it takes to generate a frame.

Many computer users are advocating for frames per second being the standard unit of the measurement of performance, without realizing the superiority of frame pacing. Through a peculiar turn of events, frametime has been all but erased from the internet due to FPS supremacy revisionists, and unbeknownst the the general populous, the glory of frame pacing has been veiled.

There really is a frames per second, and these people are referencing it, but it is just a part of the FPS agenda. Frame pacing is really at the heart of the matter: the unit of measurement in the game that takes into account the allocation of the machine's resources to generate a frame. The time taken to generate a frame is an essential part of any video game, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a running video game. Frame pacing is normally used in combination with the measurement of performance: the whole game is basically individual frames with a certain amount of time added, or frame/[time taken]. All the so-called "FPS" supremacists are really just pawns in a chess game.

Hey guys. Here's the dilemma.

Right now, I'm working with a totally badass ThinkPad x230[1]. I'm using Arch[2] (that I installed myself[3]). My WM is a tiled i3[4] config, it's pretty slick.

Now, I've been watching a lot of b4nny[5] recently and I've been getting the itch to game. However, I also watch a lot of Luke Smith[6] videos on his PeerTube[7][8] and realized I should be using more free software[9] (free as in libre, not beer[10]). So, since taking the aforementioned picture of my battlestation[1], I have decided to switch from Arch to Parabola GNU/Linux-libre[11] and librebooted[12] my ThinkPad x230[1].

Now, since I still have the itch to game, my question to all of you is if there is a freedom-respecting[9] binary or distribution of Steam[13] to use, and one of the same classification for Team Fortress 2[14]? I would love to play Team Fortress 2[14] but I need to make sure I am doing it ethically[15].

Thanks!

First off, I am not a mayo monkey. I think this term is not only indignant, it is inaccurate. In fact, I would venture to label myself as an admirably adventurous member of the Caucasian species. How so? Well, unlike 99% of those with a meager amount of melanin, I have decided to start implementing hot sauces and different spices with my cooking, and whatever I may be eating out. Por ejemplo [for those uninitiated (most white people), this is Spanish for "for example"]: On Saturday night, before I went out drinking with my polo t-shirt wearing, birkenstock yielding, flat-brim hat-wearing snow ape friends of mine (what a DISGUSTING lack of culture), I decided to get a cheap bite to eat. Where else but McDonalds? Using the McDonalds app, I was able to acquire 2 McDouble hamburger sandwiches, 1 for the regular price, and 1 for only $1! A steal if I have ever seen one (however, I grew up in a suburb, so perhaps I have not seen one, but it is nonetheless a good deal). However, instead of allowing ketchup and mustard to be on the burger, I made a request for the workers to not apply the condiments on my sandwiches. Now, Mr. "akari-", you might be thinking to yourself: "McDonalds? With no condiments? This might be the WHITEST thing ever!" and in normal circumstances, you would be correct. However, for those who think I am a willy-white cracker, in my pocket laid a curveball. Well, not a real curveball, but instead some Yellowbird Sauce brand Habenero Condiment sauce, rated between 15,580 to 54,535 Scoville heat units (SHU). I flipped open the top buns, lathered on the sauce to my liking, placed the buns back on, and enjoyed myself a mightily sniffly snack dare I say!

So, what can you learn from this? Perhaps that you should not be so quick to address a person like me a mayo monkey—perhaps my tolerance to capsaicin is greater than yours, Mr. "akari-". And if this is true, what do you have to say to yourself? I would feel shame.
