That sounds like it would be useful. I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip!

Does steam OS count as an answer?

One reason why I opted for a monitor instead of a TV. AFAIK monitors don't do this shit.

I've been looking at doing a new pc build but wanted to wait for the new GPUs coming out. Looks like I should just my new build before prices are stupid.

You clearly haven't played baldur's gate and shouldn't make comparisons based on your limited experience with it.

I spend every waking second as myself, why would I want to play as myself in a game that allows me to be someone else?

Remember that episode in Futurama where they got personalized ads fed to their brains while they slept?..... 😔

I'm OK with the increase in price if I knew that extra money was actually going to the artists. But how do we know?

It was nice knowing you.

I wish I could transfer my license from battlenet to steam.. sigh.

Not everyone needs or has room for huge displays. For those ppl monitors work great.

I have 2 semesters left of school. Glad to be finishing soon and starting my career. But low key dreading being a wage slave in the system that doesn't value its workers.

I've been using linux since last December and I haven't majorly broken anything. Am I doing Linux wrong?

I was so surprised that I was able to get Genshin running on my steam deck through wine. I remember when the deck came out, everyone was saying that games that use anti cheat software wouldn't work on the deck. But both Genshin and Elden Ring work on the deck.

Is there really much of a difference in game performance between "game focused" distros and other ones like mint?

The major difference between fireworks and those other examples, is that fireworks directly affect others around you. In my city, people go out and buy the big fireworks that are illegal here because they go into the sky and make lots of sparks and they shoot them off in the city. Fireworks majorly affect all the animals in a pretty wide radius. Which is why I hate them, because the people have no respect for how much they are traumatizing the animals or how much they are affecting their neighbors. And don't forget they are a fire hazard.

This becomes more of an argument about peoples' irresponsible use of fireworks rather just the use of fireworks at this point.

I like the 1 comma in that whole paragraph...

I was thinking about that too, thank you for clarifying and giving me peace of mind

I second Linux mint. It's my daily driver and I love it. I first switched my laptop which wasn't much daily driver to mint and when I got used to it I switched my main desktop.

Thanks, I hate it.
