Very cool that Valve has developers contributing to Mesa.

1. The only other things that stick out to me are distro philosophy and release schedule. Like, do you want a completely community oriented distro, a corporate one, one with LTS-style releases, or rolling releases? These things may or may not make a difference.
2. The best way imo is to install Ventoy to a USB drive, then load it up with ISOs from distros you are interested in. Then you can boot into their live sessions and test drive them. But ultimately, you can almost always get Linux software running on any distro. The differences are whether a distro comes with something out of the box, or if it even has your desired apps in its official repos.
3. btop, Steam, Discord, Firefox. These are all available on all distros. Things like the file system browser - I don't care as much and just use what the distro provides by default.
4. Run a package update then install whatever other apps you want. For me, also set up auto mount of a couple network drives provided by my NAS.
5. You should not be concerned about this unless you are building things from source.
6. Probably... I used and gamed on Kubuntu for 2 years and had an excellent experience.

u mind if I pipe my car exhaust to your office for a while, it's making mine smell bad

My entire family has switched back to hotels with no regrets. We've all separately had bad experiences with Airbnb and realized hotels would never get away with that shit.

Also, unmentioned in the article is the topic of how Airbnb has contributed to the destruction of the single family home ownership market.

How tf do you have one of the most successful commercial game engines and still can't support your own staff?

That's a Hooptylompus

When choosing your first distro it's probably best to go with one that is very popular - Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Mint, etc. Niche distros are a surefire path to immediate troubleshooting.

From there, decide what desktop environment you want. Most distros offer releases with various environments (KDE, Gnome).

There are differences with package managers... who cares, you either run this command or that one to update.

I second using a Live USB to run any distro release first so you can test drive it. If you use Ventoy on your USB drive you can put multiple distro ISOs on it instead of having to flash only one at a time.

Once you start, you can't stop... Hence why I got a bidet.

You still wipe, just once or twice instead of 14 or 15 times.

no

I have no knowledge about or experience with immutable distros, but I've been maining the Fedora KDE spin on my laptop for several major releases now and so far have found no reason to switch away from it. The Plasma Wayland session has been solid from the beginning and everything has just worked.

barges just haven't been ported to railways yet

I love your OA caveat. So true.

OMG, Dark! I pride myself on being the one that found and introduced this show to all my friends, who now all agree that it is the best time travel story ever told.

Now the question is, captions or dubs? Most people who watched it are hardline Captionists, but my wife hates reading dialogue so we watched with dubs. I think they did a great job with them.

Oh please don't let this keep you from watching this show. This show has at least two of the best end-of-season reveals of all time (first and last season).

Jacob Collier as another serious answer.

You and your both-sides people are going to burn out the meaning of the word Nazi with your hyperbole. It's an insult to how depraved that historical moment actually was.

I actually care very much about having a boring president, thanks.

I deny that Joe Biden is literally committing genocide right now.

If I had to guess he's probably just gotten through with his daily post-brunch game of Backgammon.

And it still holds up and is fucking funny as hell.
