X3: Terran Conflict.
Yes, we got X3FL in 2021 AND X4, but X4 is a very different game and X3FL is just a heavily scripted X3AP (more or less).
It’s a more-than-me years old game with a lot of mods that keep it enjoyable to day – as “enjoyable” as it can be, that janky piece o’ junk – but I feel about it the same way I feel about Halo 2: imagine what it could have been, if the devs had the resources they could have today. (if you say “X4” I’m going to fucking flip)
I haven’t played E:D so I can’t really make comparisons, but maybe X3/X4 can pique your interest?
I don’t think they can justify a home cockpit setup, they’re also kinda hard to get into (especially X3, you can’t get far without a guide), but hey, there’s a combined 1.5% chance that you haven’t heard of them and that you’ll enjoy at least one of them if you don’t care much about graphics. Or voice acting. Or UI/UX.
Can’t ever have anything nice, huh.
I think GNOME’s filechooser is the GTK one (never used it so I’m not sure), mine looks like this:
It’s entirely possible that Firefox changed and now uses XDG portals by default, I configured it like this a long time ago.
As for how to configure it, I honestly don’t know.
It was a combination of messing with widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal on about:config, and changing XDG envvars and dotfiles; both by following several conflicting Reddit and bbs.archlinux.org posts.
XDG portal filechooser for Firefox: the KDE implementation uses Dolphin, which is full of features and I use most of them; the default GTK one is mildly infuriating to use and looks ugly too, but getting the browser to use the portal I want was a nightmare - especially since GTK discontinued the GTK_USE_PORTAL envvar.
The related Firefox config entries make no sense either.
Here it is:
#!/usr/bin/zsh
nl=$'\n'
dnl=$'\n\n'
url=$1
msgcontent=$url; shift
argi=1
for arg ($@); do
argi=$(($argi + 1))
msgcontent=${msgcontent}${nl}Argument\ ${argi}': '${arg}
done
title="${0:A}"
msg="An application attempted to open a web page:${dnl}\"${msgcontent}\"${dnl}Copy the URL to clipboard?"
kdialog --title $title --yesno $msg
answer=$?
if [[ $answer = 0 ]]; then wl-copy $url; fi
If you want to translate it to Bash, keep in mind that arrays behave differently between the two shells, and syntax like for arg ($@); do would likely misbehave or not work at all.
Also, there’s an issue where some applications do something weird, and the URL seems to be a zero-length argument. I have absolutely no idea what’s up with that.
You can set some browser-unrelated program or script as your desktop environment’s default browser, for example I wrote a Zsh script that creates a KDE dialog and asks me to copy the URL to the clipboard.
I’m not currently at my PC, but if you want it I can paste it in a comment here when I get to it - it shouldn’t be too hard to translate it to Bash, either.
Other than that? /usr/bin/true is a pretty nice default browser for applications to start without your consent, very minimal and lightweight.

Spaces between paragraphs should work, you have to use two new lines for them.
They seem to work on my instance’s web interface and on Jerboa…
Tip:
you can replace your periods with three dashes to get a horizontal separator, which I think is what you were going for. It’s markdown syntax, it should work for most clients.
Nah, it’s just that /proc is incorrect - it contains information about running processes, as well as kernel data structures as visible by the process reading them.
It feels like /opt 's official meaning is completely lost on developers/packagers (depending on who’s at fault), every single directory in my /opt belongs to standalone software that should just be put into either /usr/lib or /usr/share with some symlinks or scripts into /usr/bin.
You know what else is justified?
Making puns about the word “dispose” and expecting people not to take them seriously and imparting a lecture.
… for the next 3 months, until a security update makes its way onto your device and also coincidentally breaks GRUB, hey look Recall is now enabled and opt-out.
You seem to have a rather violent disposition…
No, Micro for the linux
As for the second question: Windows 11 IoT LTSC has yet to be mentioned here - the only things that can stop you from using it are legality and convenience.
I’m not sure if W10 has an IoT LTSC version, but W10 LTSC does exist.
You don’t have to switch, you can dualboot if you have some disk space to spare.
Unfortunately the only rolling-release distro I’ve ever used for more than 10 minutes is Arch Linux, which is not “easy to use”; it’s not hard, but you have to tinker with it every now and then (especially in the beginning, since you have to set everything up) - if you run pacman updates without looking at the archlinux.org frontpage beforehand you might find yourself with a malfunctioning bootloader or something on that nature.
AL updates are known for breaking things a few times, but in my opinion it offers a good compromise between DIY and … y’know, Ubuntu.
When I first played FL I thought it came out with all the others *^*
I don’t outright dislike X4, but IMO it feels too… streamlined, in a way. You’ve got less wares, less ships, less sectors, no jumpdrive (yes I see the reasoning, no I still want the jumpdrive), the Xenon lost their aesthetic just to look like Mass Effect reapers, and fuckers stole my magnificently redundant ship classes. Can’t have ship in Detroit.
