Is Talos Principle 2 any good? I got stuck on the latter puzzles in the Road To Gehenna expansion and didn't want to progress in case TP2 needs knowledge of this expansion.

After watching Nerd Cubed play Coin Pusher Casino, I also got hooked. Bit of a guilty pleasure, that. But, three things to recommend it, though:
- Realistic physics throughout make it quite a technically advanced game despite it probably all it took was a toggle in Unity.
- There's a native Linux port.
- Other than the initial outlay for the game the only resource you'll expend is your precious time alive. So, there's no freemium model where you pay to advance. And no payment for additional unlockable content.
You play tables to get credits, to get perks that make it more pleasurable (not to mention possible) to play tables, to ... The very essence of an RPG grind. And a bit of a skinner box.
While it doesn't have well known artists, indie streaming Resonate prides itself as having the most generous (or at least, close to) payments to artists. To support this, it has an innovative payment model akin to higher purchase. You pay a little for the first listen to a track, but the price increases through subsequent listens. After 9 listens, you own the track outright. The total cost of ownership is around $0.9
Exit nodes have traditionally been a weak spot for Tor.
I was on Mint over 10 years ago and noped out of it when an auto update borked my system. I can't remember what it was, and maybe if it happened to me today, I could work my way through it. But, as it stood at the time, I remember feeling rolling was the way to go.
Interesting, I see possible mutual assistance between this project and MisterFPGA, MARS and other FPGA projects. I guess the real difficulty is getting a fab set up to manufacture the chips. Once again, maybe they can take a page out of another project's book like armsid or, more aptly the Apollo line of computer upgrades and cycle accurately emulate the functionality in some other freely available silicon.
Not always and not all the time. One only has to look at the many rightwing outrage, astroturf boycotts.
Slightly off topic, but wasn't there a general purpose boycott app? One that allowed one to figure out the political stance behind products. Initially it was marketed as the anti-woke app, but further investigation showed that anti-woke was only one profile of many you could subscribe to.
This is why I moved to Linux Mint. Then, when I got tired of having to reinstall the entire OS every time there's a new version I moved again. Spare a thought for the poor saps who feel stuck with an OS from a single vendor. And sometimes even paying for the privilege. That being said fund open source. Freedom isn't free.
Slightly OT but hasn't Fedora gone all in on Wayland? Maybe it's an attempt drive critical mass of adoption and concentrate developers' minds to closing the gap between now and fully production ready. As such, maybe moving to Fedora will net you the best support and smoothest Wayland implantation.
Yeah and all relays in China are owned by the government. Besides TOR cannot put apps back in store. Hey, that rhymes!
Probably the safest, most cost effective approach is to use WSL.
