Perhaps other people have said it but this is the quote I'm familiar with:
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

This is an awesome post. Thank you for sharing it. I really appreciated reading your comments, and I hope you're doing well

Thanks so much for the information! I really appreciate it. I'll see about doing that when I get home tonight

I want everything GNOME gone. Decided KDE was more my style

This makes sense. Will this nuke any config files I have set up already?

Thanks for the suggestions!

I just installed 6 months ago and I don't feel any need or desire to do a full reinstall if I can avoid it

Nice touch adding people's comments in the original post. Doing gods work here

The one game I will never stop gushing praise for is crosscode. Not a short game by any means but it's taken my number 1 spot handedly.

As an aside, pseudoregalia is an excellent game and I'm glad it made it onto this list or yours.

It's on my list but I was not in the right head space when I started it. Currently loving animal well but I think tunic will work perfectly after I'm done with animal well!

Quick tip to add to all the other advice: if Linux give you a warning, please read it carefully. Its not windows where you can safely blow through warnings. Otherwise, use it and enjoy!

Just started animal well myself. Seems extremely solid so far. Excited to see what else the game has in store. Also has me excited to see what else big mode releases in the future if this is the bar of what they'll publish.

Thanks a bunch for sharing :)

So few f keys mapped :O

Have you looked into home row mods at all? I find them quite nice to use once you get used to them.

Edit: wtf is that second keymap LOL

Thanks for elaborating. I essentially don't use amazon so I'm not familiar with their newest shitty practices. This is obviously very anti consumer, I just failed to see it as explained in the article

Could you share your keymap for the qaz boards? I'm curious to see what those look like

I don't mean to support amazon in this, but the article outlines them promoting their own products over others? Unless the buy box implies something other than "we would like you to buy this", I dont really understand the issue with that particular point

I find storm light archive very difficult to pivot from. Mostly the prose used is gets so out of your face that you can focus on just consuming the story rather than the words.

I also found cradle by Will Wight sticking with me seeing as I read all 12 books in a month so I became quite familiar with the world and the characters

Something to keep in mind is that Linux doesn't have the same hand holding as windows. By all means make the switch but do not run sudo commands you don't understand unless you're comfortable debugging or reinstalling your system.

I learned that the hard way, though I was more than happy to just reinstall and try again. If Linux gives you any warning, please pay attention instead of ignoring like you would on windows.

I think mint is a great choice and I've installed it on my laptop recently and its been working very well. I'm no expert but hopefully if you have any questions I can help you out.

I played hl2 a long time ago (at least 10 years). It was a really good game when I played it and I suspect it will stand the test of time for a long while still.
That said, its not Something I'm especially interested in revisiting personally

That's awesome to hear. I'll have to check it out
