All distros are equivalent, as far as software is concerned. They all have access to the same open source software, and Flatpak; AppImage; and Snap can be used for extra portability.

Think of a distro like a pre-configured image of linux. You can always change the configuration later, if you desire. For example, the Desktop Environment. All you have to do is just install a different DE package (usually via command line)

The DE has a major impact on user experience. Use KDE plasma for a more windows-familiar experience, or Gnome for a more Mac-familiar experience. Or experiment with others

The Linux Experiment is a good resource

Sometimes deciding what to play, or even starting a new game is too mentally taxing

So memes on Lemmy it is

My PS2 would randomly decide not to read the disc sometimes. IIRC, we were pretty careful with both the disks and console.

From what i remember, the issue was the laser was either dirty or otherwise shotty and sometimes wouldn't read the disc

I recently got a balance board and it has really done a number on my ankles, legs, and core strength.

It is insane how degraded your ancillary muscles get from a sedentary lifestyle

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is also a really good full body workout

1 - popsci headlines about food are always bogus

2 - skimming through the article, it suggests that the Vit B in vinegar is the suspected cause

3 - substituting vinegar for antidepressants (which the article does not state, but seems to ~~elude~~ allude to) is a bad idea

Use a towel

Just make sure it's not damp, or the resulting steam will burn you
