Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most Steam games require the steam client in order to run? You can't necessarily just copy the files into a flash drive and deliver them to another computer.

(unless of course the game has DRM, in which case both suffer from the same problem)

That's GOG's whole schtick, none of the games they sell have DRM when purchased from their store. You can always copy the installer to another computer and run it.

Hey quick question what the fuck

Yes, but also no. In a very literal sense, human beings are animals, and our modification of the world is technically the same kind of thing as, like, a bird building a nest. But I think there is some utility in distinguishing between human activities and non-human activities. We are uniquely capable of altering the environment in ways that no other creature can.

The Nintendo way. If someone else is making money, make that your money instead

That's the thing, I don't know enough to know what to even ask. So far I've been able to follow step-by-step instructions for installing Mint and downloading software, but I don't know what I'm doing at all.

One example of something I spent hours on is adding Cura to the panel. I finally got that done while I was writing this comment by following AndyMH's answer here.

Now, I can read

I would move the appimage into a folder in PATH. If you create a folder /home/you/bin it is automatically added to PATH next time you boot.

And I can do that. I have no idea what PATH is or why I want to do that, but I can do it. And I can look it up, and I'm sure I'll eventually get to a point where all of this makes sense to me, but I feel kind of helpless when I have to look up multiple terms every time I want to do something as simple as adding an application to the panel

Mint, judge me

PS anyone have any favorite resources for absolute tech illiterate noobs? I'm trying, but without a baseline understanding of the subject, it's hard to find the right guides

Even without knowing literally any of the context I can glean that this airplane has killed another of its kind from this photo alone

Human pattern recognition is fascinating

GOG or TPB, anything else is just extended renting
