From the first link, sounds like what the other reply said - vitamin D is important (but can be gotten from other sources), and I failed to mention it. Sorry. That said, it also recommends wearing a hat, and using sunscreen when outside for longer periods of time.

I unfortunately can't read the second link without agreeing for them to sell my data, so that's a nope.

True, I shouldn't have skipped over that, my bad

Pretty sure sun isn't good for the skin, sun exposure without adequate protection just increases cancer risk, especially sunburns. It is good for mental health though, but you should still avoid exposing uncovered skin without sunscreen - it's an unfortunate balance where you might have to harm your body to a limited degree because our brains are wired to enjoy it.

It's not like Bethesda called their games "Fantasy" - "Civilization" is such a generic name that I respect putting the author's name before it to avoid any confusion.

I also recommend rEFInd for the bootloader if you don't want to set anything up (and risk messing up). You don't need to configure your boot entries, it scans for boot options and shows them with a graphical interface, so your Linux and Windows should just show up.

Except you might want a client, both to keep your games in one place, and for extra features it can provide (like cloud saves and updates) - and if you're on Linux, you're excluded from that kind of stuff on GOG.

As a non-german-speaker, I feel like I get plenty of good laughs out of ich_iel. I only feel like I'm missing out on some of the best posts.

I think an issue is, this sets up your computer to have a way to bypass putting your password in on boot. If you don't care about security too much and don't have things like secure boot and encryption, then that's bypassable anyways... But otherwise, I'd be concerned about introducing systems that specifically bypass security.

Yup 😉

It's a unit that's been adopted by many technical mods, and conveniently sidesteps the issue of what the actual unit is by using the bucket as a reference. After all, in the wacky world of computer game, the actual measure doesn't matter, so long as it's consistent.

As a tech mod player, they hold exactly 1000mB of water

But thanks for being so dismissive.

Like you weren't?

Why does every distro need yet another package manager?

I think most package managers - the ones actually part of a distro - are old. It's not a question of why they all use different package managers, it's a matter of them having developed them long ago before any single one matured.

That said, there are other considerations, which is also where new ones come from - different distros will have different approaches to package formats, dependency management, tracking of installed packages and system files, some might be implemented in a specific language due to the distro's ideology, some might work in a different way (like NixOS), and there's probably a whole bunch that just want a different interface.

You wouldn't ask why Linux has a different way of viewing installed programs from Windows, and in the same vein packages are not a universal aspect of Linux, so each distro has to make its own choices.

Also I like pacman, some people complain about the commands being obscure, but I feel like they're structured in a much more logical way. Don't confuse it with yay though, pacman doesn't build packages, and yay is specifically a wrapper around pacman that has different commands, while adding the ability to interact with the AUR.
