The first text on the page says:

> The operating system for the next generation of gamers


If you're trying to argue that this snippet should answer the question of "what is Bazzite"... have you looked at marketing-speke websites lately? Think of how many different categories of service / product / platform / technology call themselves "the operating system for the next generation of XYZ".

+1 to jtrn's complaint here; when Bazzite's homepage doesn't own up and immediately say "Bazzite is a Linux distribution", it's being unnecessarily unclear, and it loses my trust.


This was a very recent change. Just yesterday the same line read "The next generation of Linux gaming". So it's good someone is taking feedback!

This doesn't say anything.


Now it does. It didn't when the original comment was made.


This is redefining the cutting edge of trolling.


I think the term is "frontier trolling".

There is a world of difference between the obvious and the trivial. The post you are replying to only implied it was obvious, the retort is unnecessary.


When you work on compilers, all bugs are compiler bugs.

(apart from the ones in the firmware, and the hardware glitches...)


This sounds kind of wild. Love your choice of font. It mentions in the text that your code base is open source - is there a link?


I would prefer that contenteditable divs with multi-line contents would handle newlines in a consistent manner instead of the chaotic mess we have now. But I guess that doesn't pump stock valuations so AI slop it is.


The flat shape of the "r" and the lack of curvature on the "p" where it touches the stem would drive me mad, but YMMV.


Not my kind of thing but still a highly enjoyable read. I love a tale of a software engineer who has gone down a rabbit-hole so deeply that they've come out the other side. And who doesn't like data?


And he's got a great way with words as well.


Unfortunately it smells of ChatGPT at points.


You're correct, but when the worst the ChatGPTisms get is turns of phrases like "LeetCode youth finally paid off: turns out all those "rebalance a binary search tree" problems were preparing me for salami, not FAANG interviews." or "Designing software for things that rot means optimising for variance, memory, and timing–not perfection. It turns out the hardest part of software isn't keeping things alive. It's knowing when to let them age.", then I'm inclined to forgive it compared to how many far more egregious offenders are at the top of HN these days. This is a rather mild use of ChatGPT for copyediting, and at least I feel like I can trust OP to factcheck everything and not put in any confabulations.

If these are hand-typed, I'll eat my hat.


The problem with assessing nerd writing for whether it's AI-assisted is that the AIs themselves are trained on nerd writing.


Exactly this. I often feel plagiarized by AI.


If you were talking about some essays I wrote in the early 2000s, you’d be buttering your Stetson. It’s hilarious to me that several of my blog posts from 20 years ago have been called out as AI generated lol.


I agree. I've written like this too, but these days when you see it it's more likely to be AI.

I actually think if I were writing blog posts these days I'd deliberately avoid these kinds of cliches for that reason. I'd try to write something no LLM is likely to spit out, even if it ends up weird.


You're absolutely right!


Company that makes vast profits from its monopoly over a digital market is against legislation to stop companies from exploiting monopolies over digital markets.

I am shocked!
