    Bazzite region of Linuxia

    As you stumble upon the neon-lit realm of the gaming regions of Linuxia, an NPC tosses you a gleaming ISO volume of wisdom.


    Bootable Amulet of Bazzite (Rare) => Frame Surge: Boosts performance by 15% of all inventory in the Wayland dimension. => Steam Incantation: Casts “Protonic assimilation” for all loot in unexplored dungeons (+2 compatibility). => Artifact of Immutability: Auto-repairs equipment after a dungeon raid. => Weakness - Package Curse: Outside the gaming regions, productivity wanes (-2 chances of legendary packages when opening chests).


    Spell: Vulkan Forge (Uncommon) => Instantly summons Vulkan-powered rendering. => Can crit for +20 FPS, but may randomly glitch on older drivers (-1 stability).


    Dungeon: Library of Protonic Lore => Encounter: Boss-level incompatible game. => Loot: XP towards seamless gaming or… disappointment (roll d20).

    Will you flash, or roll a crash?

    I buy a new house. Everything looks great, I move in, go to bed. The next morning my hot water doesn’t work. The house’s documentation doesn’t cover this, so I go online. When I ask for help on forums people tell me to RTFM and call it a skill issue. I end up finding 500 different ways of fixing the hot water, filter through the 499 that don’t apply to my particular build. When I’m done the cold water doesn’t work either. I decide I’ll fix it later and head to the front door to go to work. It won’t open. Something I did trying to fix the water broke it somehow. I give up and just use the windows instead.

      You may try immutable OS like NixOS. Modern-day kernel has way better hardware support than earlier days.

        It absolutely does, compared to 2001ish when I first started playing around with Linux. But I had issues like this on Debian, earlier this year, on a Dell of all things which should use the most basic bone-stock drivers you can find. Draugr wouldn’t even boot after install on that machine.

    Curse of NixOS

    Immutable Distro - When making a roll, if the previous roll did not use this feature, you may use the dice value of the last roll you made.

    Highly Configurable - You can swap one piece of equipment per turn as a free action.

    Flake or Vanilla? - You must succeed on a DC 20 WIS save once every hour or be compelled to spend that hour respeccing your equipment loadout and retraining your skills, in an attempt to achieve the elusive state known as “best practice”.

    I have [Ancient] Debian Armor and a GNOME as my companion. I often equip the Tor Browser Cloak of Invisibility. If slain, I will drop a Locked KeePassXC Database Chest. After completing the mission Revive bricked Linux system, I was awarded with the [Rare] Ego Potion. When drunk, it boosts all stats temporarily during a battle.

      Sorry to be pedantic, but if you can revive it then it wasn’t really bricked. Depending on how bad it was it was still worth the [Rare] ego item 🧑‍🌾

    For some reason, I cannot git ye shell. All my attempts to bash my way through anything fail miserably as well.

    This weird Grub on a boot keeps showing up and blocking my path.

    Fuck this game >:(

      Hmmm… shaw to you too, shark fucker 420

      Charm of Kingsoul (rare):
      => No cost too great:
         User mana slowly refills
         while using an
         uncommon init system.
         Buffs from charm of
         systemd become negative.

         gives +1 WIS on wisdom saves
      => No will to break: User can
         choose to sacrifice charm
         and obtain Void Heart.
