There was certainly a fad for going gluten free as a fad there for a while, but I haven't really encountered any of that crowd in a bit. However, I definitely have friends with celiac disease and/or gluten allergies.
While any sweeping claim is better when backed by data that supports it, I dont think this particular case is a hill I'd die on.
Other comment made great points on MintOS and PopOS for beginning a Linux journey.
SteamOS isn't available for a full PC release (that I am aware of), but Bazzite was made to be a full-distro alternative to SteamOS. I haven't tried it myself yet, but it has good reception from what I see.
Linux Mint is very easy to pick up, though, and I highly recommend for someone coming from Windows. It is fully functional through GUI and has several different flavors for the desktop environment. I'm a fan of KDE, but Cinnemon was also very nice. A version of KDE Plasma is what SteamOS 3.0 uses. I'm not as big of a fan of GNOME, but a lot of people love it as a mor elegant, modern desktop environment.
The reason for the ratio is because this is very close to a pedophilia apologist viewpoint blurring the lines between attraction and consent. If they are an adult with the body of a twelve year old, why would another adult be sexually attracted to them (their body)? At what point is the line between respecting an individual's autonomy to present as a minor, and sexually objectifying actual minors?
But that is why the downvotes. Because it is very easy to read the original post as "nah, it's not pedophilia, they're technically legal!"
Foyer, mudroom, entrance way. If you don't have a small cube between a storm door and a front door, then just as you come inside.
This isn't some privilege thing, it's literally just an area of your house or apartment. Different environments have different entryways for the houses there. No need to be so hostile just because you don't know what a "mudroom" is.
It's the dual-edged sword of making it more accessible now with a workaround, which disincentives developers from building with actual support in mind.
So Proton is allowing more people to switch to Linux for gaming, which is good! However, instead of putting pressure on developers to make Linux versions of games and software they can just use Proton, so they will continue making only Windows versions, which is bad.
It very much sounds like the girlfriend had arrived at that point organically before they did, though. If she was able to say yes to the bottlecap so easily, and they hadn't even put thought into it yet. So it sounds like coming to that point through shared experience was already off the table.
I don't know what games you are playing, and I only used Mint for a short time before moving to other diatros, but I remember it being pretty plug-and-play for most things. I admit I was mostly playing through Steam and a few applications through Lutris (mostly FFXIV), using a Wine wrapper to use the official launcher.
For Steam, the Steam launcher will handle most of the game-specific launchers for you. For Lutris, make sure you open Lutris and update it after installing it and before trying to add any games to it. I don't have any experience with Heroic (or with Windows version of Epic Launcher either).
ProtonDB usually has pretty good information on launcher settings for games. I've found several good walkthroughs on game forums, as well, like on Steam community forums or the game's own website.
What games are giving you trouble and where are you looking for walkthroughs? And what are you looking for in the walkthrough?
Isn't that more a social issue? Getting drunk and becoming violent isn't a cause-effect. Someone that becomes abusive after drinking would be abusive without alcohol as well, that's just a trigger for the behavior.
This is closer to an actual answer, though. It's easier to remove drinking than to change drinking culture. It just didn't work the last time they tried to ban alcohol (in the USA), so if behavior around drinking is the issue that is trying to be solved there are probably other ways to go about it.
Ok, but there are plenty of other items that that do that as well. It's not a call out of "all drugs, including tobacco and alcohol". It's not a callout of microplastics. So there's something specific to alcohol.
Yes, the trophy was security's fault because it was from excessive force. He was already restrained! I'm not saying the guy wasn't in the wrong for climbing on stage, but people climb on stages all the time without security breaking the centerpiece of the event while apprehending them.
There is absolutely a use case for it, but it should be an opt-in system with explicit permission required, rather than the default or an opt-out system that you need to jump through hoops to accomplish.
