Excellent summary, thanks!

Mint was my first Linux distro away from Windows. Command line stuff is essentially optional if you’re just using the computer for web browsing, gaming through Steam, basic desktop usage, etc. No regrets, fuck Microsoft.

To give Microsoft the finger.

Yes, Shark03 said it best. Proton is built in to Steam, so as long as the Linux distro you choose (Mint, Ubuntu, CachyOS, etc.) can run Steam, Proton will work. I’ll also mention ProtonDB.com here; you can use that site to search for a game to see how much tinkering (if any) you’ll need to do to make your games work. For my game library, I think almost every game runs with no tinkering, maybe selecting a specific Proton version at most (a drop-down menu).

Yes, you should.

Quit giving them ideas!

At least HL3 gets made. There’s the silver lining here.

I have the GameSir Cyclone 2 and love it.

Why take personal accountability for one’s morals when you can offload it to a paid service?

Just because it’s not a best practice doesn’t mean it’s not being done.

Congrats and welcome.

Fork.

Thanks!

Thank you for telling you story. I’m sorry that you are in the position you are in where you can’t freely be yourself around others.

It’s not immature all to reminisce about times in your life that brought you joy.

Dank reference.

I’ll never forgive MS for that.

Could they? Definitely, but there’s a really uneven balance between effort and reward. I do listen to some dank tunes though…
