Solus deserves to be mentioned here, it's a great distro. The project went through some turbulence earlier this year but seems to be back on track as they've just released a new .iso.

For this, really? Those Windows versions reached EOL a long time ago, basically no one should be even running them nowadays. If you want to run Steam then just use a supported operating system, like Windows 10 (and above) or Linux.

Way too brittle to be metal. Should be called r/glassmemes.

Yeah, the main reason I keep lurking there is because it's just a great way to keep up with things. For example, during the last few years I'd never miss out on any important tennis matches or One Piece chapter releases thanks to their subreddits. For more general news the fediverse has been good enough.

Wait, does that mean I wouldn't be able to use my own computer offline? If so then that's a no from me, dawg.

At my job there are many computers with Windows 7 still. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as the software we need keeps working.

I just bought a budget micro PC to do the same. I just want to play some retro games on the living room TV so the performance is good enough.

Eh, I think knowledgeable people know better than to trust such implications. If you're savvy enough you can do everything you want on any distro, but if you're just getting into Linux there are some better, less challenging entry points and Mint is one of them.

Isn't that what they mean by "beginner distro"? Something that just works?

Speaking of sharing content, is there a way to crosspost around here yet?

It's honestly demoralizing how easy it is to undo decades of progress. All it takes is a few short years of a far right govenment and we're back to the 20th century.

Not sure what country you're talking about but as someone born and raised in a third-world country with free, universal healthcare I can tell you I'm offended.
