I use PopOS on my rig which is primarily gaming. It does great and gets out of my way.

The proton client for Linux has improved recently. I use it on PopOS. As to your first point I agree. I landed with Proton specifically because it was cheaper to do it and email rather than separate services.

Having tried Fusion 360… It’s interface and design paradigm is utter trash. NX, Creo, and Solidworks are all far ahead. Can’t speak for catia, I’ve never used it but the versions I saw looked worse than Fusion

To have one ready out of the box with linux maybe look at the System76 offerings? https://system76.com/

Edit: just got a chance to check and they are slightly above your $1000 criteria. So maybe on his recommendation.

Pretty sure that the very first gen Google ?dot? Mini speaker has physical disconnect.

It’s fairly good. I find the autocorrect to be poor and result in a much lower typing speed though.

This was an absolutely amazing game when I played the original. The art style is not aiming for realism either so those games tend to hold up well. I would highly recommend picking it up.

Edit: Just checked on steam and it looks like they have added Denuvo DRM. Maybe you can find an old version without it?

Kerbal Space Program

Pop has been Rock solid for me and steam gaming. Trivial to set up and the store is wonderful too. Nice that it works great for non gaming tasks as well.

Similar but only because I skip lunch

We use a Neato Botvac Connected (it’s an older model) and the eco mode is quiet enough that we can run it at night. I’m an exceptionally light sleeper and it has worked for me. If we are leaving the house for a while I set it to turbo and that’s loud but cleans even better.

Highly recommend Neato. I think we’ve had ours for 7 or 8 years at this point.

Saxx solves this (and I think a few other brands) by giving your balls a pouch. Super comfortable and adds the comfort of boxers.

Ubuntu broke with my Nvidia card. I went to PopOS and the problems stopped.

How has your experience been with the softmaker alternative to excel? Do all the functions translate well? I just took a peak at their site and it looks dramatically better than libreoffice but I’d never heard of it before.

Those are the good providers. If there were another good provider and this is being done with intent than they will just block that domain as well. I use a custom domain with proton, I think that would protect against this but maybe some folks more engaged could chime in before you take that as advice.

As a side note question, I just realized it’s been a while since I looked through all the streaming options for Anime. I’m happy with CR at the moment but are there others I should consider? I like to reevaluate any subscriptions I have every year.

So COVID was like Uber sploosh?

What bank offers this?
