The “GOG Bad Now” people in this thread are out of their minds.

This was overwhelmingly obviously some combination of poor decision and mistake with no malicious intent behind it.

Yes, it was a fuck up. Yes, they should apologize. No, this should not be a brand-ruining event for GOG.

If there was any history in their past for them to suggest they were facists or nazi sympathizers, this might be a different story.

If I could have done something to prevent it, but chose not to, and someone died, I would feel just as bad as if I pulled the lever and killed someone.

I can’t say what is objectively true, but I can say that if I were in that situation, I absolutely would feel responsible for the outcome if I could have reasonably affected it.

Look at it selfishly:

• 100% chance of killing someone
• 25% chance of killing someone

Pulling the level is the only way to have a shot at not being saddled with the guilt of killing someone. Sure, killing 5 people is worse than killing 1, but avoiding that personal impact entirely is a desirable goal in and of itself.

I’m gaming on grandpa Debian using nVidia’s CUDA repository for driver updates and I’m sitting fat and happy. Ignore instructions to install kernel headers for your specific kernel and just use the linux-headers-amd64 meta-package and it will automatically install new headers when the kernel updates. DKMS will rebuild the nvidia module for the new kernel and now kernel and nvidia driver updates are seamless. Performance is not noticeably different from when I was on Windows.

The only improvement at this point would be kernel-level integration like AMD has so I don’t need to add a repository, but aside from that I honestly don’t see room for improvement.
