Did we have the same mom? I wish I could give you a hug, sis!

Gardening is awesome, by the way! What are you most looking forward to planting / doing in your garden this season?

Wow, opposite issues! Bazzite worked out of the box for me, but Ubuntu was awful. I spent several hours just to get my wired internet to work, threw every fix I could find at it, eventually fixed it with a modprobe, used it for a few days and decided that Ubuntu wasn't for me.

I hope you're right! I saw something flashing by about the UK suing Steam over price fixing, with the threat of enormous fines or being banned if they don't pay them. Steam has many flaws, but I believe the world is better with them than without them.

I wouldn't mind some moderation, but for the love of god I hope countries won't block Steam over this. I have so many games there, and I can't remember the last time I bothered to read a review.

I haven't had any issues with my nvidia GPU. I did some distro-hopping and didn't have any nvidia issues in any of the distros I tried.

If you want everything to work out of the box, I would recommend Bazzite. Pop! OS had me using the AMD image and fetching the nvidia driver manually (the nvidia image just didn't work for me). After that, everything worked brilliantly.

Same experience, it has worked flawlessly for me too!

God, I feel that!

My mother was scared that anything I liked might be harmful, so getting her to let me enjoy my games and music in peace felt like a win. She wouldn't feign any sort of interest, so if she asked a question you knew it was a threat.

In fact, I was almost 30 the first time either of my parents asked a genuine question about my favourite game of all time (that I spent literally thousands of hours playing). I was almost too shocked to answer.

I mean, I get that kid's stuff is boring, but I feel like if you can't take some kind of interest in your kids you shouldn't have any.

Rant over. Sorry, I just wanted to say that you're not alone!
