I think you might be overthinking this a tad too much, sure it can give you more problems the Windows but, in my 10 years of using it, most of the time it works fine. Pop is a decent starting place, with NVIDIA drivers being pre-installed if memory serves right, and it also has a graphical interface for installing and updating apps.

As for the terminal, it’s incredibly powerful and versatile, but you don’t need to learn and use it all at once, take small steps. Learn first the update command, the basics like cd (change directory), ls (list files and/or folders), cat (concatenate files and output to terminal), etc. Over time you’ll get the hang of the more advanced stuff.

Love myself some strawberry ice cream, my favourite.

And as much as I’d hoped that spez would back down from the API decision, It was never going to happen. If you read any of his recent interviews, it’s quite clear he feels really bitter that third party apps managed to succeed and be profitable, whilst Reddit itself does not (at least supposedly).

And if you listen to his interview on Starfield, it could also be his last game.

To quote the great Douglas Adams:

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”

I’d say the Donation of Constantine

It was a forged Imperial Roman decree supposedly from Emperor Constantine the Great, which gave all temporal power over the Western Roman Empire to the Pope. Now, how is this important? This was how the papacy came into possession of the Lateran Palace, which was the Pope’s residence for much of history. It also served as the justification for the pope to break the formal convention of the five episcopal sees (i.e in the early church, Rome was just one of the important seats of power, the others were: Constantinople, Jerusalem, Alexandria and Antioch and all had equal authority) and declare itself supreme over the other centres. It also played an important role in the events of the Great Schism of 1054 (which formally separated the Western Latin church from the Eastern Greek church) and the investiture crisis in the 11th to 13th centuries.

Yeah, that happens sometimes for me too. I usually just disable it in the settings, but irrc, if you set the kwallet password and the user password to be the same, it shouldn’t ask for it.

It’s my favourite distro =3 No matter where I migrate to, always ends up coming back to it.

Currently running Fedora on my laptop and Arch on my desktop, though I’ll probably migrate from Fedora to openSUSE next month.

Fair point, I was thinking of some of the complex graphical features, like ambient occlusion, screen space reflection or even ray tracing.
