‘Energy independent’ Uruguay runs on 100% renewables for four straight months
We've been at ~95% renewable for years actually, but now we've reached 100%

Mint is hands down the easiest and most stable distro I have ever used. You don't need the terminal at all. Comes with everything necessary preconfigured and if you need any tutorial you can use any Ubuntu tutorial (its based on Ubuntu).

Safest way to run pirated games?
Bottles maybe? It's a flatpak so it's containerized.
You shouldn't worry that much anyway, if a pirated game has a virus it's most likely designed for Windows.

I really want to like Lemmy
The biggest problem I see is fragmentation, people are creating the same community in different instaces, /c/Piracy for example. Lemmy should prevent this, community names should be unique, it should have an index of all the Lemmy Fediverse where instances can lookup if a community exists instead of waiting for a user to import that community to his instance. Something similar to what BTC does with the decentralized ledger.

Most of the times it is not that it isn't stable, is more that you're trying to do thinks the Windows way but I get that learning the Linux way can be hard since most of the times it's not obvious or intuitive.

Wine already existed but it took many years to get Proton to where it is now, and it's still not perfect. I doubt they would want to start all over now that things are finally working.

Yeah, and I'm not against piracy by any means, I pirate every movie I watch despite having Netflix, Disney+, Star+, HBO Max and sometimes Prime. We have all of those because it's easier for my parents but God, Stremio is a lot better than having to find out which platform has the movie I want, and sometimes there's no alternative other than piracy.
As Gabel said, piracy is a service problem, and I think that music streaming services are great and at a fair price, so I don't see the need for pirating music as long as you can afford it.

I meant that it would be a whole another problem that I don't think they would want to address right now, considering that they're still fixing Proton. Creating an ARM translator with good enough perfomance would take several years, and I don't think they would profit as much from it, they did Proton because they don't want to depend on Windows (which in recent years has become a competitor since Microsoft is investing more in the PC gaming ecosystem).
