Try Nobara. It's based on Fedora but it's got a whole bunch of gaming-related patches including all of the required additions for out-of-the-box HDR support.

It's actually optionally-typed. But if you're liberal with type annotations you can treat it as statically typed.

Yeah, that's how I'm choosing to interpret them.

Common cold is rhinovirus, not norovirus.

Everyone replying seems to be confusing "timeline" with "generation" or "era", discussing how this point in time is better than other times in history. That is not what OP was asking.

+1 for Fedora. It is exactly what OP is asking for.

You must be matured around my age talking about discmans like that. Although, The last "discman" i bought was a portable CD player, and wireless earbuds didn't exist.

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. All of the earphones listed above are wired earphones, and look like the kind included for free from a old portable cd player.

I concur. VE Monk and it's successor Monk Plus are the best $5 earphones you'll ever use. They compete against earphones in the $100-$150 category. Don't let their appearance fool you, they look like a cheap crappy plastic pair you'd get for free with a discman. But their audio quality is phenomenal.

I'll note here, the VE Monk success has spawned a bunch of competitors in the very-cheap-but-shockingly-good category, notably look at the Faaeal Snow Lotus and Faaeal Iris, I have both and they are great.

I got a new pair of VE Monk Plus about 10 months ago, from AliExpress, but I haven't looked recently.

Last week I bought one of those giant vacuum insulated travel mugs (not a Stanley) from a discount variety store, along with a bunch of other things. After I paid, the cashier asked "do you want the receipt?", I normally say no, but this time for some reason I said yes. After I left the store, my kids needed to use the restroom, so while they went I sat down on the bench and absently looked through the receipt in my hand. I immediately noticed I got charged twice for the mug. The cashier must've double scanned it. I went back to the store, showed a manager my receipt, and they refunded me the difference.

That was technically my last refund, but the last product I actually returned was a set of tws (true-wireless-stereo) IEMs (fancy earbuds). They were a brand new model just released with great reviews, I bought them from Amazon, received them, and used them about a week. During that week I noticed every time they were in my ears, my ear canals got super irritated and my ears felt warm. And whenever I removed them the insides of my ears would be crazy itchy for hours afterwards. It got to a point after a week of use that my ear canals would swell and close up about 15 minutes after I put the earbuds in my ears. Didn't take a rocket surgeon to work out I was allergic to whatever material that earphone was made of. I still had the box and all the packaging, submitted a return to Amazon with the comment "my ears are allergic to those earphones" and they accepted it no problems, I got a full refund.

Oh man, I have all of these! Pain in the head behind the eyes when the alarm goes off, prolonged squinting with certain kinds of bright lights, I get physical pain in my head from specific outdoor sounds like a very loud motorcycle exhaust.

But most striking of all, I have the pain response to tickling. If someone tries tickling me anywhere on my body my back spasms and my diaphragm contracts, my vision goes black and I have to concentrate to stop myself from yelling and screaming. It's not the same as regular pain like a cut or bruise or a burn, is more like someone tasering me.

I've always been pretty sensitive to tickling since I was a kid, but it got way worse after I got a pinched nerve in my back about 10 years ago.

I was also very mildly on the autism spectrum when I was a kid, then I was neurotypical from puberty until my early 30s, now nearly 40 I'm back deep into the spectrum.
