I love trying other distros but I can't afford to regularly be down a few days to a week to restore backups, which is why I want my main system to stick with a distro long-term. Mint is definitely one of my strongest considerations for sure.

SteamOS isn't going to be the "Windows killer" people think it'll be. I'm a massive Valve and Steam fan but SteamOS isn't any better than any of the other major distros when it comes to gaming.

There's also the issue of people who regularly play games with kernel AC, particularly with studios who intentionally refuse Linux support.

Switching to Linux with no intentions of moving back. I'm fed up with MS. I'm not settled on which distro (and I don't want to distro hop on my main machine) but I know for sure that I'm switching.

I don't care for this mentality. I understand constant questions must get old for developers/contributors but the mentality that people should compile from the source is not conducive to growing FOSS. It is, however, potentially conducive to laziness from the devs. "Eh, why should I spend time releasing compiled builds? Let the plebs compile themselves."

I can definitely relate, similar experiences were my initial reason for getting a controller for myself. I ended up becoming a controller geek, though. Right now, I have a PS3 DualShock clone, a Logitech controller with DualShock ergonomics but Xbox face buttons, and then I have retro controllers for Sega Genesis and the SNES. Looking to expand beyond that eventually but virtually any game type works flawlessly with that setup haha

Oh gotcha, did you try messing with Steam Input to see if you can sorta force that game to work with one?

There's obviously a serious pedo problem in nations' governments across the world because that's really the only explanation for the continued existence of such a thing.

Just about the LAST thing this world needs. Bad enough we have loads of spineless men already, and female birth control pills are ruining women as it is.

Unencrypted platforms like FB, Insta and Discord are said to be full of CSAM and nobody does anything about it, yet E2EE chat apps like Signal are the "problem" and governments "need" a backdoor to those. Just sad.

There have also been reports of idiotic wannabe influencer parents who sell risqué images of their daughters on Instagram, which is massively disturbing.
