I run EndeavourOS on a Lenovo Yoga and it works great for the most part. Only thing really missing for me is programming thr buttons on the stylus, but it's too minor of an inconvenience to deal with IMO. Keyboard, track pad, and touch screen all work as intended.

I know you probably mean one of those serving-sized cereal boxes, but the mental image of you pulling out a family-sized box of cereal from some portal-to-Narnia pocket in your pants is fucking hilarious to me.

I need to try that. Thanks for the tip!

Mine have a setting to disable the light outside of initial startup so thankfully I'm safe here.

LEDs on electronics need either a maximum brightness or an adjustable brightness. I have taken to covering the LEDs on charger bricks with Sharpie/tape (often multiple layers of tape) to dampen the brightness because I cannot function with these damn things at night.

Yup, Plasma 6 has been pretty great. Had to fix a couple of issues with Nvidia but it's been incredibly smooth.

I personally use Matrix. I haven't gotten very far into using it but it does have groups, text, calls, and encrypted messaging so I'd say check it out.

Yeah, I got mine for 98 cents a can. Highest price I've seen is like two bucks.

Element. It's a popular client for Matrix, which is a federated messaging platform (similar to lemmy and mastodon) with different instances.

Honestly, I'd like to see this version. This might explain better why the machines using humans for their own benefit is such a bad thing since, presumably, using humans as CPUs would take up brain power that we could use to build a better society or something.

I celebrate Christmas (not as festive as some people but still) but I generally am apathetic to Christmas music at best. That being said, Carol of the Bells by Transiberian Orchestra still kicks ass and I would say it is the one Christmas song that I would actively and willingly listen to.

I moved to Linux Mint fairly recently but still dual boot for a couple of programs that require Windows. I avoid Windows when I can but I like to play The Sims 4 and want to play it on Linux so I tried to install it on Steam (I own it on EA but it's free on Steam right now and I haven't been able to get Bottles to run the EA app without EA crashing before starting) but the EA app just blanks out when I run it. My EA account is linked to Steam (checked on EA's website to confirm that they're linked) and I can't find any other reason for this issue online. Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit: tried again after relinking my EA and Steam accounts and waiting a while to let it boot and so far nothing. Looking at Steam, it seems like it stopped at loading "Microsoft DirectX" so I'll have to go from there.
