I’ve been using Void as my daily driver on my desktop for about six years now, I can see myself ever switching. Also have used Solus, Arch, Endeavour, and OpenSuSe on my laptop during that time, which have all been good. But I still prefer Void, it just feels so natural to me now.
If you’re going through the series for the first time, I really recommend listening to the Ten Very Big Books podcast and joining their discord. They have great spoiler-free discussions throughout the whole series.
I thought that I was in another one called Moons Spawn, but I can’t seem to find it anymore.
I feel like for Malazan the only alternatives have been discord servers, and maybe the old forum but I haven’t been there in a long time.
Reddit burning its bridge with Apollo’s dev probably sealed the deal for me. Beyond handling things poorly, most of my time on Reddit was on my phone via Apollo. I highly doubt Christian ever works with Reddit again even if they did completely pull everything back.
Things have been pretty good here, I don’t see any reason not to stick around, and there isn’t anything to make me go back. I’ll probably check hockey news on Reddit occasionally, but I can’t see myself being active.
Maybe they’ll also find a different joke than “arch btw.”
Was gonna say r/fantasy but I probably spend more time on r/Malazan anyway.
Oh yeah, it makes a huge difference to have some higher level discussion to follow, and TVBB is very good about not spoiling anything. I used the Tor Reread for the first four books when I first went through the series and it was a big help.
