Mostly smooth. When I jumped onto pop os I think it was the 21.10 version which was good. Only the ng that I never got working was lutris. When 22.04 was released I updated to that and had some weirdness afterwards that I couldn't quite iron out. I ended up doing a fresh install with 22.04 and it's been great since.

I always wanted to learn. I had a number of failed attempts with Linux back in 2000, 2006, etc. I always gave it a shot every 5 years ago just to see.

I fully made the switch with pop os a couple years ago and it ended up sticking. I was in a better place to learn linux and pop os is just easy and noob friendly. This last time was also spurned on when the rumour was going around that windows 11 was going to have ads right in the explorer. I don't know if that ever happened but it was enough to get me to give it another shot haha

Beyond all reason (BAR) you can get it for free on the pop shop with popos and likely most other distro app store.

Excellent successor to the OG RTS total annihilation from the late 90s.

Now keep going 'til they're all dumped into the sea.

So grim and sad.

Bottles was the only thing that's ever worked for me with nonsteam games. Love it!

I'm going to guess that MS AI determined the food bank is a tourist destination because it learned that more and more people are going there due to the rising costs of .. everything. It also probably learned that people don't like starving to death.

Can't remember the exact quote but it was something to the tune of "you don't have to know how a toilet works to crap in one but it might help you appreciate it more". I feel its applicable here.

closing your eyes as the "rest at the inn" song plays in any of the dragon quests.

I started getting mini PCs when raspberry pi prices were peaking. My favorite mini PC I have was a bit expensive at around $200 CAD at the time. Its an hp elitedesk 705 g4 with a Ryzen 5 pro 2400g. Runs just about any server I need and does great for audio recording in Windows.

I also snagged a lenovo mini thinkcentre for about $100 CAD. It's a bit older with a 4th gen i5 ( I think) and 8gb of ddr3. It sits in the data closet for contract work that I do and has all my work stuff, office 365, Visio, affinity designer, cloud connections.

I use a remote connection with my main PC ( running pop!_os Linux) to connect to either of the two instead of buying extra monitors or any peripherals. At the very least, It's been a fun experiment.

I hear ya, looking back I think went thru a similar thing in my 20s so I can understand that feeling.

It must be hard to dig out of if you're surrounded by a bunch of people who are buying in or supporting that behavior

So cute of them to pretend that they give a fuck about kids or anyone outside their ridiculous worldview.

My civic has a CVT and for the most part its OK. But sometimes when you're on a highway, and if you have to brake hard.. that lag time on hitting the gas again can sometimes feel like forever. And pretty scary.

Yea. I'm diligent about the phone staying in my own pocket while I'm driving. I forget I can't always give others the benefit of the doubt.

That's fair. I can understand your view.

My biggest gripe is the "safety" features that just enable bad driving. Too lazy to shoulder check? don't worry, blinky light on the mirror has you. Don't bother looking back when backing out? camera has you. veering off the road a bit cause you're not paying attention? lane keep assist!
Any one of these things can fail and the shit driving habits are all some of these people have to fall back on.

Let's go back to roll up windows, standard transmissions, and using your eyes to see where things are.

I didn't think of the always online games.

Sounds like we just need to start a federated network of classic games sharing. Can't sue a protocol, right?

( I know nothing of how any of that would work)

Ugh. I barely want to live my whole life on this planet with the ways it is going.. let alone reverse back into my 20s with no actual "new game+"
