I recently installed it on my gaming PC with an Nvidia GPU and AMD CPU. It was my first time with Linux and I was partitioning a drive to dual boot windows in case I screwed the whole thing up and needed a fall back. I hit a few speed bumps mostly due to lack of experience and the dual booting (stupid secure boot!).

Beyond that my only issue so far has been an inability to get my VPN app running but since this is just a gaming PC that I don't use for anything else I've just gone without the VPN. The Nvidia GPU has not really caused any problems for me so far to be honest.

I've only tried two games so far, Cyberpunk so I could benchmark graphical performance against Windows, and Return to Moria because I wanted to test a cheap game that specifically says it's not Steamdeck compatible. Both tests have been successful as far as I'm concerned. I will mention that I'm pretty exclusively a solo gamer and I've heard that people have had issues with trying to play Return to Moria with friends.

I was recently introduced to tasting history and it's become the new obsession in our house. My wife even bought his cookbook.

As a bystander I just want to applaud you for that awesome display of control and de-escalation. It's too easy to get carried away online and forget that we're all people, way to be better!

For the record I'm also a Vivaldi user mainly because Chromium browsers make work easier for me but I refuse to use Chrome. However, as soon as Firefox fully supports sidebar tabs without an extension or CSS modifications I'm going to try to completely jump aboard.

Ok, call it whatever you want, I'm not really into labels. For context I believe in universal basic income, socialized healthcare, prison as a tool for rehabilitation instead of punishment, strong government regulations for corporations, high speed Internet access as a state run utility, and a bunch of other stuff that I don't feel like listing out.

Anecdotally this hasn't been true for me. I spent my 20s barely getting by. In my 30s and early 40s I've had a series of lucky breaks that have enabled me to move into a much higher paying job resulting in luxuries like home ownership, retirement money etc. and if anything I've become more liberal.

I also don't have or want children so maybe that factors in?

This is in the US so your experience obviously may differ but we recently bought a house that needed a completely new roof. We actually had to back out of the deal once because the seller refused to pay any portion of the roof. It took the house sitting on the market for another 3 months before they finally agreed to cover just half the cost of a new roof and at that point we were tired of looking and just wanted a house so we accepted the offer. Our new roof looks great and we're happy with the house but paying for half of a roof was an expensive add-on to the purchase for sure.

It's rigid airship!

Google has no ability to offer iMessage compatibility as it's locked down by Apple. Allegedly Apple devs had a version of iMessage ready to launch on Android and the Apple execs decided to kill it because they felt that keeping iMessage exclusive to Apple would keep users locked in, which clearly they were right about. I'm not interested in a discussion over which phone is better than the other but I don't care for the false narrative that Google is the one keeping iMessage off of Android.

Ooh! It could have animatronics that sing songs about what it was like being a whaler on the moon!

Yeah, it would have been nice to be surprised by our offensive performance but at least the defense showed up for the most part.

They do, but barely. It's just a couple of minor in game items/skins and some out of game music/art. Still leaps and bounds better than locking entire missions or characters behind deluxe edition nonsense.
