I cannot reply to everyone, but genuinely thank you all so much for the help. I’ll be going with a simplistic zola setup suggested by one of the commentors. I barely expected a handful, let alone all these comments. It really means a lot, especially to a noob who felt like this was a really dumb question.

Thank you for the advice. Honestly, I’m a young 20 something that just wants to output creative stuff for people to read and enjoy. None of this really popped in my head, so thanks.

I still want to host my own site for it though, but I will consider the self publishing angle as well. Thanks for the advice.

He shouldn’t have to, the point is read before commenting about a clickbait headline. If he has to spell it out that only furthers his point.

Yeah, but I prefer running it without a launcher. It’s just cool to me I can easily run the games via clickng on the exe or searching it in a runner with very little hastle.

Why not dual boot? It’s what most in that situation do.

I don’t even think much when running games anymore. Even DRM-free games I get from Gog I can just click on and run with Wine most of the time. It’s so awesome.

Didn’t we also just break 3% last year, or am I mistaken? Either way, awesome news for the FOSS community.

REAL AS FUCK!!! BOCCHERS SWEEP!!!

Seriously tho, this is awesome. I love me some Bocchi.

I found it preferable when I started exclusively using the keyboard and keybinds. Tho I ended up using a TWM so I’m definitely not the target audience lol.

Huh? But I use Libretube everyday.

I can acknowledge all that and still say fuck discord. I never mentioned herding everyone over, I just explained why I think it’s a parasite and why I have a strong disliking towards it.

Idk about them, but it’s a centralized, locked-down service that absorbs and holds information and data hostage like tomorrow.

As someone who’s trying to completely avoid Discord, it’s quite frustrating how many communities and projects will put important information in their Discords, and nowhere else. You have to have an account to see it, and it also isn’t searchable in a search engine. It is actually quite terrible for pretty much everyone.

Element/Matrix lets you peek into public chats and servers/spaces without an account, so it can definitely be done. They won’t do it though, because they gotta make you feel dat FOMO lol.

I am a simple man. I see anime rice, I upvote.

Ahhhh, okay. Definitely not what I’m after but I’m glad the middle ground exists for most people who aren’t insane lmao.

I will argue on the better connected parts bit though. Most apps designed for TWMs are intentionally very generic, minimal, and simple, making them blend together very nicely. Especially if you theme them, which is very easy to do in most cases.

What are the benefits to this instead of a TWM? Just curious since I’ve been seeing a few people singing it’s praises, and wanted to know why I’d use it over a traditional TWM.

Kobo devices are the way to go. Easy sideloading, multiple FOSS operating system alternatives, and generally they’ve got some nice n’ cheap options.
