Thanks, you too. :)

Unpopular opinion: There is no one “best” distro. I’d recommend you download a few, try them out, see what clicks for you. Nobody knows your use case as well as you do.

Me.

You’re not the only one. I jumped ship from Win11, hopped around a bit, but settled on Kubuntu early last year. I’m perfectly happy here, and unless they decide to ram degenerate AI down my throat I’m probably not moving.

Oh, you’re a protagonist? You mean, you have to stand and stare off into space while someone else decides what you’re going to say? I always know what to say. And if you piss me off with repetitive questions, I’ll just start repeating myself until you go away. How’s that for “npc energy”?

All us redheads are. (which is probably why I haven’t had a match either :P)

I’ll take it, I’d rather be old than dead :P

I don’t even smoke, which I suspect costs me even more respect!

I don’t know what “rizz” is without looking it up. I understand this means I qualify for a lifetime membership.

The fact that you’re asking this question suggests you’ll be fine. Maybe ask a trans person to be a sensitivity reader before you publish it.

Ahh, contrived examples of floating point errors. I haven’t seen those since I asked Javascript to add 0.1 and 0.2 :)

Ah, Python. It might not be fast, but it gets it right in the end. :)

Make one! :)

A shirt like that is a self fulfilling prophecy

(and the only thing that’s getting ful filled today)

It works well for games that just come as EXEs too, but I mainly use it for non-games, yeah.

I switched from Windows to Linux last year. I’m typing this on Ubuntu 25.04. All the games I have ever tried to play work, and work well, with very few exceptions.

Steam just works, all I had to do was go into its settings, the Compatibility, and enable Steam Play for all titles. I set the default compatibility tool to “Proton Experimental” and haven’t needed to change it. Even for the titles that say they don’t work on Linux.

Heroic Games Launcher handles my Epic and GOG libraries, and again, everything just works. Epic is not friendly to Linux users, and the only exceptions have been a couple of free games on Epic where the developers have gone out of their way to break Linux compatibility. Red Dead Redemption is the only game I would like to play, but haven’t figured out how to get it to work. Most of my Epic games work, including complicated ones like Train Sim World 5. All of my GOG games work without exception.

I use a program called Bottles to handle edge cases. It’s a little trickier to get set up, but once you’ve got it running, again, stuff just works.

Hope this is helpful. I’m happy to answer questions.

I used to have wristbands - green, yellow, and red - that I’d switch between. Lost the green and yellow ones around 2020 or so. If that isn’t a metaphor, I don’t know what is.
