Mint would probably work for you. Some stuff is outdated, but it has flatpak which is a package manager with more up to date apps. If you're willing to put in the time though, I'd recommend trying some of the more common distros out (Mint, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora). You can use a liveusb to test them without installing.

Steam is available anywhere so that's not a problem.

Discord officially only has a .deb package, so that's only for Debian based distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint). There are other options for almost all distros though - I personally use Webcord

Fl studio might be tricky - supposedly it runs through wine but you might have to do a bit of work. I've personally used Reaper and I works great.

Someone already gave an answer, but the reason it's done that way is because on Linux, generally programs don't install themselves - a package manager installs them. Windows (outside of the windows store) just trusts programs to install themselves, and include their own uninstaller.

/bin, since that will include any basic programs (bash, ls, cd, etc.).

Ma'am/sir this is a Wendy's.

Nothing because it sucks and isn't worth the effort if you have an Internet connection and any knowledge on how to use a search engine.

The portal 2 soundtrack is an absolute banger

Looks like freesync was the issue - I turned off the setting in my monitor and the issue hasn't reoccurred. Thanks for figuring that out!

Don't worry, it gets better. The whole thing is a web app.

I think a lot of games borrow too much from movies, instead of trying to tell a story in a way that's suitable to a game.

Yeah the fan blades are in place, I've stress tested it... Don't see how this is related to the issue at hand though.

I vaguely know rtkit handles thread/process priority... could there be any possible issues if I disable it?

Edit: actually have a more important question: how do I disable rtkit? It seems to just start up regardless of what I do.

Pretty sure, I got it locally on a college campus from someone upgrading their gaming PC

I think that was me opening the terminal to run journalctl lol

By encryption you mean disk encryption? I'm not using that so hopefully won't have to do anything

Also I looked up that ftpum stuttering issue and it doesn't match with what I'm seeing. It's not a stutter, just a complete freeze of the screen for a solid second, and then it returns to being completely normal.

During the minute that one of these freezes happened, this is the log output:

You should use BSD

They have more than enough money to keep everyone employed. Firing just to keep profits high is unnecessarily cruel.

Yeah it was a similar deal. At&t has a whitelist of phones they support with VoLTE, and if you're not on it you're screwed.

Can vouch for mint. Have had almost no issues with it, I barely even touch the terminal unless I'm doing development.
