  • First of all, welcome! Happy to have you onboard.

    With regards to the long-term future of Leminal Space, we certainly have no intentions of going anywhere. While the instance should be considered ‘hobby-run’ in the sense that it is funded personally by the admins and maintained in our free time, I can see this changing in the future if we expand to a point where the server requires more upgrades to stay performant and the ongoing costs consequently increase – at that point we would consider allowing user donations towards the server costs.

    If it plays out that way and we became community-funded, that may be the right time to also reevaluate how the server is administered and maybe even consider user voting on significant decisions. However, at the time of writing, our MAU count has been fairly steady for several months at around 60. So, at this stage, at our current size and rate of growth, moving towards a community-run model isn’t on the cards in the immediate future.

    As ever, always happy to keep the discussion open going forward.


















  • From what I’ve seen, there’s no real performance difference with a gaming distro. What they tend to offer is an out of box experience that is more tailored towards gaming than a regular distro (think ‘game mode’, Steam, Proton, and maybe Lutris pre-installed, Nvidia drivers if you need them).
