ADHD and anxiety disorders will do that.

They're all pretty good options. Bazzite is very easy to install, runs almost all games, and its immutable nature makes it difficult to break.

Mint is also easy to set up, runs almost all Steam games, but requires a little configuration to run other games. The main advantage is that it can be more easily customized if you're interested in tinkering.

I haven't tried the others, but I expect them to be similarly beginner friendly.

Once you've picked an OS, you can swap out the desktop environment at any time for a different feel. Cinnamon on Mint or KDE on Bazzite will give you a fairly comfortable Windows-like feel, whereas gnome is quite different.

It's always a good idea to check ProtonDB before buying a new Steam game for Linux.

This apocalypse could have been an email.

The problem is that Trump isn't actually in charge. He's just the figurehead who holds everyone's attention.

You'd have to remove half the supreme court, Congress, the electoral college, and the entire Heritage Foundation if you wanted a chance at fixing the US.

Trump on his own is a bumbling toddler who couldn't even make his own executive order to sign. I'd rather see him in a nursing home while the people who put him in power get tried for their crimes.

I have all of these settings off, but it's still summarizing my emails and offering to add it to my calendar because there are no conflicting events.

Send them a pride flag with the return address of the preacher.

I think I cursed myself. I just got woken up at 6am by my smart light turning on for no apparent reason.

In this case the limit was entirely arbitrary.

The programmers were told to pick a limit and they liked 256. There are issues with having a large number of people in a group, but it wasn't a hardware limit for this particular case.

If you're technically minded, you can do some amazing things with Home Assistant and IOT devices.

A lot depends on how you use it and how accessible it is to the outside internet.

I have a few smart devices, but they are all controlled locally. If my internet connection stops working, I still have full control of everything. I also have manual options in case my home network stops working.

Not advice, do your own research: I don't see a big problem it Bluetooth. It can be hacked, but the person hacking has to be near you. That alone protects you from about 8 billion people.

The most knowledgeable IT people have the least IOT devices in their house.

I've been planning to make one of these for a few years. I'll probably keep planning to make it for the next decade or 2.
