Knowing Trump, it would sound a lot like "Are you sure you want to threaten me with NOT building my glorious Trump tower? We have nukes, you know. They can level your entire country. Just let me build my tower"

Try it. We've done it before, and it often yields a bit more than the average we've seen. Down in south Texas

Yes. Some distros even have airselot (I think that's how it's spelled) installed out of the box

I played a casual game and got kicked. If it was ranked, I would understand, but it was casual!

The secret is to use pork when you make Carne con chile

Just because a garden is walled doesn't mean it's better. It just means that you need specialty solutions instead of pre-baked solutions that are on the open market

I agree that the UX is better on MacOS, but it's because of the immense amount of hand-holdong

I like the memes, but that's it. I use Linux, sure, but I also have to use Windows for a few programs because WINE doesn't work with said programs, and the alternatives aren't the best

With that being said, would I prefer Linux to be mainstream? Yes. Will it ever be? Probably not. Too many people just want something that works out of the box and don't want to spend hours fixing some obscure bug.

I am a nerd. Therefore, I am okay spending time working on my machine and making sure everything runs well. I have previously looked at an OS that doesn't seem to work or is starting to have issues and completely swap to a different distro using a base I have used and know will work 100% of the time

Samsung S21 Ultra that I got in September of 2021

I'll probably go another year before upgrading, depending on how much it makes sense financially.

Might be able to find a flatpak and use flatseal to restrict it as much as possible

As others have been saying, it's most likely a Java issue.

Make sure to install (or reinstall) Java8 and make sure it's selected in the prism launcher for use under v1.8.9 specifically. That way, you can continue to play using Java17 on recent versions a bit simpler than having to constantly swap Java versions

There is no AC in the truck, and I live in Texas. Definitely can't wait for winter (that's the only time it's cold)

Yeah, I knew it wouldn't be cost effective since my old rig had an AMD RX580 8gb, but if I could play games and already have a space heater, I may as well mine crypto to heat up the whole house. Nowadays I'm just using Folding@Home during the winter
