Yes, but the phones of all your peers will have that shit on them.

What are you talking about? I exchanged multiple mails per day when I had a problem.

Also as others have mentioned, the parts are still available on their website.

No, if you are headed for Germany… It’s probably worse here, since they’re a german company.

I know it with SAP, but I am young (not really) and from Germany, so that checks out.

Do not watch Constellation!

It’s a great show, but it was cancelled after the first season.

I think you flll for sarcasm.

Probably better to put it in a Linux meme community.

I honestly thought he was kidding when I came across the g=git example.

Not only that. We should stop honoring american IP (intellectual property). Just pirate all their shit. Disassemble their tanks, hack their cars and tractors. Remove all their software and replace it with open source, Europe backed programs.

Because this will hurt them globally. A crack for a car works in Mexico as it does in Denmark. An open source office suite also helps developing nations, that could then also get rid of MS.

My home directory has its own nearly full 300gb partition, so it could be better…

Yeah, flatpaks that just write into $HOME/.var are a prime example of how not to do it.

Since the other replies don’t seem too beginner friendly I’ll try another way:

The desktop environment determines how your taskbar looks and your start menu. Also the edges windows and the buttons to close and minimize windows. Also some basic programs like the system settings.

Mint and bazzite are distributions. They bundle software, test it and sometimes develop it further (like the mint guys do with their desktop environment cinnamon). Also they provide the package manager and the packages and their versions that can be installed through it. (Others can always be installed through other means but a lot is available through it)

Cinnamon is available under arch too and it’s relatively easy, getting a package into aur.

Let’s just call it a nonprofit.

Tell that to shell company owners.

You can bet your pants it does!

I learned today, that in JavaScript

[2,-2,6,-7].sort()

But it actually is mostly the developers fault. There are weird corner cases, yes. But all game engines natively support Linux and even games that are not made for Linux will run there via Proton nearly always.

Exceptions are 95+% of the time due to anti cheat and like 2% due to a self written engine, that does exceptionally cursed stuff even for windows.

I play lots of games regularly that were never meant to be played on Linux but work flawlessly without the developer or “contributors on ProtonDB” (whatever they have to do with that) doing anything.

Okay, your post is a bit weird, so I’ll just tell you about my setup:

I have a custom built PC for like 4 or 5 years and have Linux on there permanently for at least 2.

It has an AMD Ryzen 7 (AM4) CPU and a Nvidia 2060 Super.

I often tried new distros before the final switch. In the end I chose PopOS. For me it mostly just works.

All the core features are effectively bugless.

Games sometimes don’t work or need a little tweak in steam, but that is like one game out of 20.

BUT:
I don’t play AAA games. Like ever. I played Darktide for a month maybe and “Witcher 3” butthis is the closest I got to “real” AAA games in the last 5 years.
Indie Games nearly always “just work”.

Few examples from the last months:

• Deep Rock Galactic
• Satisfactory
• Witch It
• Factorio Space Age
• Cogmind
• Dwarf Fortress
• Ultimate Chicken Horse
• Disco Elysium
• The Last Journey
• Core Keeper
• Celeste
• Stardew Valley

They all ran fine. The one Issue I had was that steam didn’t show this DirectX-Popup and I thought the games didn’t start. But after that it all just worked.
Also sometimes mods are hard. This is mostly for games I didn’t buy on steam and that have weird community-built mod managers.
