https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch for when you need MO2 or Nexus (that isn't Stardew). Keep in mind this will install a new instance of the app for each game you use it with (in its proton prefix folder).
https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App is the current version of the new Nexus Mod Manager App, which has linux support. Currently it only has game support for Stardew Valley.
As many others have said, go with PrismLauncher for Minecraft. Modrinth's launcher works fine too, but doesn't have curseforge support.
I used to run a Plex server locally, with content provided by Usenet. It was by far the most stable/robust experience I've had, but I like being able to watch whatever I want on a whim.
Whatever happened to kids being forbidden from school if they aren't up-to-date on their shots? I remember having nurses come to my class to give us the ones we were behind on.
Started with Ubuntu's initial 4.10 release back in '04. I wish I still had the Live CD they mailed me. When Ubuntu ditched Gnome for Unity I switched to Mint. Up until a few months ago I was dual-booting Windows alongside it, but with 10's EOL approaching I'm ditching it.
I do keep an old laptop running Win10 specifically for some Audio-related software I just can't get to work in Linux.
I play through Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 at least once a year. It is largely nostalgia for me, but goddamn those games are fantastic.
3 is much less so, unfortunately.
Yoshi's Island is also worth diving into. One of the best 2D Platformers ever made.
