No, but to have food shopping budget split amonsts them is illogical.

You go shopping without money in your account?

Don’t need them. Halifax has online banking in a browser. When they merged with Lloyd’s, they moved systems so I’m assuming it’s the same for Lloyd’s.

I personally would go with the previous model, and the A version. When 7 came out, I got a 6A for £299 new. Wouldn’t spend much more unless I had to.

Eh?

It does take space on the hard drive. Can easily remove desktop shortcuts. Telemetry on open source software doesn’t usually happen without consent and you can turn it off (Firefox for example).

This is more of a feeling type thing. If it makes you feel good though, go ahead.

Non-running software doesn’t affect performance as it isn’t anywhere near your RAM or CPU. What often people perceive of bloat is frequently software dependencies that are likely to be used over the course of the OS’s usage.

Often I have found bloat free setups end up taking hours of digging out dependencies on multiple occasions. Life is too short. I have things to build.

Chromium can fuck off. FF is king.

Rolling distro, up to date kernel, very good KDE support, stable?

OpenSuse Tumbleweed has got you covered.

Though this weird bloat fetish usually leads to Arch…

You don’t, you can compile from source.

Unreal is a top class engine. Yes, it’s proprietary and you always have to be cautious, but right now, it’s an engine that delivers top features that can build great games and isn’t run by Unity. If you win big, you need to pay, but you know that going into it.

Godot is great and improving all the time but it needs maturity.

It was a head vs heart decision and the head won this time.

Too late, moved to Unreal.

If this doesn’t work out, Godot will be the next port of call.
