Do it! I just made the switch (using PopOS as my distro, AMD CPU, 1080ti GPU) and haven't had much trouble with my extensive Steam collection. The biggest issue so far was Bioshock Infinite which actually runs native and I had to edit some configs for texture pools. SteamVR / Index has been a little unstable but seems to generally work (I don't use it enough to be sure if it's Linux or my hardware getting old).

SteamDB has been a excellent resource for checking compatibility and game specific tweaks.

In 1998, a man was arrested in Van Nuys, California for operating an unlicensed dental practice out of the back of a toy store in a strip mall.

I've heard of Boom Aerospace from the US, which is a little further along in their development process, although they are only super sonic.

Same for me, running for a few months and all my steam games work great. I had to install some extra software to run my Logitech mouse and get the scroll wheel to be more sensitive. Otherwise though it's been a great experience so far.

Although I'm an IT professional, I really don't want extra work when I'm sitting down to game. So POP! has been great overall for my use case, with the bonus of Linux for any coding projects I tackle otherwise.

It Takes Two! I played it with my partner and really enjoyed the story and very imaginative game play.

That's actually a real strategy by Russia. Since they have so few deep water ports for their Navy, if temperatures rise then they have new options in their far north territories.

Honestly at this point in my software career (~10 years), it's not evil per se, but I don't feel great about essentially existing to help rich people (VCs, PE, etc.) get richer. But I suppose that's a problem that isn't limited to IT.

Same here, but apparently this isn't even an isolated example:

As you may know, this is the entire premise of fall of civilizations podcast, which also did a great episode on the Assyrians:

I haven't heard about Truth Social's plans, but that wouldn't surprise me.

I have however heard of this:
