The way I heard it the insurance companies lobbied for seatbelt laws.

Something about if you die in an accident the payout could be larger than if you survived.

Opposite for motorcycles and helmets. On a bike you aren't eligible for the same death payout as someone in a car so it's cheaper if you die.

Again this is just how I heard it and I've never cared enough to actually look into any of this at all but on the surface and seems plausible.

would consider myself very much a noob and I'm bumbling my way through it. Just kinda worked my way through it and pretty sure I broke my mint install a bit before hopping to EndeavorOS and will probably break this one before I'm done as well.

That is so bizarre to me. According to this article, Destiny 2 was already playable on Linux when it was officially ported to Google Stadia, and no one, not even Bungie, can explain why they won't support it on Linux or Steam Deck, much less ban a player for trying. That's crazy.

Yeah I have no idea either. From what I've seen online it's something to do with the anti cheat battleye but that runs on Linux so it's basically just them telling the Linux community to go pound sand.

Can't answer your question since it's not something I ever thought about but I recently, within the last 2 weeks, started the same thing. I tried Mint and EndeavorOS so far and honestly I probably won't leave EndeavorOS again. I installed it first. Confused the fuck out of myself because years ago I use Ubuntu so I had that like hard coded in me and couldn't get my head around arch. After playing with Mint for a week or so I'm back on EndeavorOS and I love it. I really really want to switch my main PC over but I have a Plex server and audio book shelf server running there as well as atleast 1 game that playing on Linux just isn't possible since Bungie will ban you for running destiny 2 on Linux.

I feel attacked.

I mean they can require it if they want. Apple would just bury the fact that it exists and would use something that's known to be shit. Idk how they could be forced to make iMessage cross platform.

As someone new to Linux the fact that I could just check a box on steam and suddenly I could install and run the witcher 3 blew my mind. I had no idea. Last I checked on Linux gaming the solution was install windows 😂

Honestly no idea. I ended up switching over to EndeavorOS today so I need to get it set back up again. 😂

There is a windows theme in the Mint themer that looks like it is spot on to look just like windows. I love the look of linux over windows though so didn't try it.

I tried Endeavor for a bit before switching to Mint. May have just my me being to new to be jumping into Endeavor but I struggled and switch to mint within a couple days. was a beautiful distro though. Will probably jump back at some point since I'm running Linux on a spare PC right next to my main windows PC.

Rasies hand. Finally jumping back into Linux after years of Windows. Didn't really think of the gaming impact other than "so many games don't work on Linux so I can't use my main machine." I'm lucky enough to have 3 computers currently even though 1 of them is a third gen i7 and the other I got for free out of the trash so it's specs aren't great either. Enoug for me to install Endeavor then Mint to see how it goes gaming on them.

Got core control working. Did have to update something in the Kernel to get full control and access to stepping but it's working perfectly now.

Couldn't get that to work sadly. spent hours trying to build synergy on windows wasn't having luck and found barrier. Would start on windows just fine but the linux install would only start as a server for some reason. Ended up just buying Synergy since it's much cheaper than a hardware KVM.

Got it working. Thank you. Now if only it was as easy to compile and build apps on windows as it is on Linux I'd be set. I've spent the better part of the night trying to build synergy on my windows machine because I'm to cheap to just hand them money for the compiled version 😂

I will try it when I get home. Thank you!

Awesome thank you. Should I remove the driver's I installed? FWIW I had this exact issue on Windows when that card was there so it's not purely a driver issue.

Yeah I guess that's all true. Either way I personally would prefer a gun to a baseball bat for self defense for the simple fact that it puts me in less danger than attacking my attacker with a melee weapon. There admittedly isn't much in my house that is worth my life but apparently the person breaking in values my things more than their own life.

I mean if I take a swing at someone's head with a baseball bat I'm probably just as likely to kill as I would be by shooting them. I will say baseball bat to the head probably hits less since it would probably render you unconscious immediately.

It's there no option to update things with a GUI or do you just prefer to use terminal. Currently trying to decide between mint and endeavor. Haven't used Linux since Ubuntu way back in college in like 2011

Which is why you never throw away a computer with the drives in it and you never throw drives away without physically destroying them. Don't give other people the chance to see your weird shit.

I've used Linux before albeit that was like a decade ago playing with Ubuntu but I had no idea how to answer that question. I don't want an app store and I don't want to install from the command prompt all the time. I just want to download something from the browser click it and it install it 😂 idk why that isn't even an option to pick since I'm pretty sure that's something you can do with Linux.

Either way I'm currently burning a Linux Mint/cinnamon flash drive to live boot and may dual boot it since I have an extra old SSD laying around.
