You’re a straight guy who likes getting fucked. This is way more common than you’d think and shouldn’t be a big deal in a healthy society.

Love to hear it! Hope that does what you need it to for a long time! being a commercial product (kinda, system76 mostly makes money off hardware with it iirc) there should be great support and I’m pretty sure it has its own forum too like many other distros. Good luck!

Switch it up. even just tortilla chips and hummus or salsa too with plenty of water and you might even survive! Nuts are great too. Dense calories and nutrients, underrated.

If you don’t like it there are always other options (if you like a lot about arch, Garuda or Manjaro would be my next suggestion) but I do think Pop is great for those adjusting to the new ecosystem from windows

You absolutely should, sounds perfect for your use case. It’s meant for gaming PCs, and as you’re starting out don’t be afraid to take advantage of the several different package managers out there (I think pop has one built-in but there are others like snap). Finding and installing programs via command line isn’t as hard as you might think either and is usually more secure/ideal. If you need something more cutting edge and are willing to dive into stuff like that I’ve had great experiences with garuda and manjaro too. There are lots of FAQ’s out there, and it can be really daunting at first but I promise it’ll be rewarding somehow. I personally love all the different free software repositories and having apps like fortune run when I start my machine- there’s something so cozy about configuring a PC to be a little fun and reflect your own personality a bit.

Linux mint specifically is great for documents and browsing but other distros are gonna have better gaming presets is all I was saying. Imo, It’s a “typing laptop” OS when you probably want Pop! Instead. That or the other ones I listed have extra drivers and whatnot by default. Just trying to be helpful!

Use proton and/or a distro actually meant for gaming (Linux mint is simplified, more for beginners imo and not one I’d personally recommend). Try Pop!, Manjaro or Garuda.

This is what you get for using fedora in 2023. I have no issues with garuda, lutris and proton: it’s been at least a month since I’ve tried to play a game and failed. Which is alright imo- I don’t wanna play any given game if it doesn’t support Linux EAC in the first place

Okay but this is a little too boring. Add upcharges for vegan cheese, better bread and tomato and basil, maybe garlic, oregano… you’ll still have a killer profit AND product.

Props to you for feeding it. People who call them pests clearly haven’t tried to bond with any. Amazingly intelligent critters, I feel like they’re sorta like pigeons- they absolutely have a sentience and personalities. I used to feed one almonds all the time and it would even come right up to me and take 'em from my hand. Pretty sure that stopped them going for my tomatoes lol. They’ll eat garden snails too FYI

It’s probably wise to check the forums regularly, I had to reinstall the entire OS once (arguably because of NVIDIA) but on more than one occasion it’s stopped a update for me because packages were in conflict. So it’s nice that there’s some foresight on their part.

To search the AUR and add a program:

yay (desired package) You’ll see multiple choices most likely, pick one and it’s pretty self-explanatory from there.

To remove program: yay -R (program)

system update/update all packages: yay -Syu

There are a few different package management tools too like Octopi which let you directly browse the AUR by category in a GUI but I think that’s pm the basics.

Garuda is easily my favorite arch based distro, nice to see ppl talking about it! Once you get used to using yay instead of apt-get and the AUR in general it’s such a better experience

How do you enjoy playing video games endlessly when life is passing you by, skills are going unlearnt and passions undiscovered?

Same with any hospital visit here afaik. Most hospitals have a loophole if you can’t pay, you can dispute the fees, they check your income, etc… like others have said I think it affects your credit score either way. But it’s all part of the privatized healthcare grift.

Well, I’d totally get a fairphone if enough people start following my OF

Im a least a lil autistic and I for one love quantum mechanics, if you view existence from a “Schrödinger’s Cat” kinda perspective it explains anything paranormal and personally allows me to believe this world is anything more than a bleak, capitalist dystopia from time to time. Certainly explains away the ongoing issue of extraterrestrials if you conceptualize multitudes of reality coexisting at once, anyways.
