  • Yeah I really don’t know what a fair price for streaming is. They can charge what they want and I’ll pay if I think it’s worth it.

    My current pattern is to keep one or two streaming services at a time and when I run out of shows I drop one and add a different one.

    People are disappointed though that the service used to be a much better value. It’s like most things that start out good and become “enshittified” as the service provider tries to extract more and more profit.



  • I installed it from the Software Manager tool in Mint.

    There are 6 reviews for it. The top review has this comment which sounds similar to my experience:

    4 weeks after DarkRacoon, and I have the same problem. Steam kind of launches, shows up like an invisble window, then closes again. I also need to kill the Steam process, uninstall through Software Manager and then re-install again. All games are still installed, so it’s just annoying to re-install Steam itself. And btw, yes I have ran the dpkg apt update mentioned in the Details section.

    As I mentioned, I am new to Mint. I’ve used linux and unix before so I’m not totally lost, but the UI interface is a bit confusing for me, at least how it relates to the inner workings. So I guess you advocating that I figure out how to use flatpack. I assume it works sort of like Chocolatey on windows or Homebrew on Mac.
