I tried to usw this for my home folder in my daily driver, but it just did not work for me.

I’m now trying out the PARA system, and Iike it better.

I should also add I use obsidian.md for basically everything having to do with files/folders/organization, so I do have all sorts of tags, auto-updated tables, etc. So a simpler file structure suits me better.

Thank you kind soul, that really brightened up my day.

Not the whole government, but some of it 100% yes.

I don’t see anything that could be considered a “Youth bad” statement in that comment. It’s a complex issue, influenced by a myriad of factors.

For example, I could dissasemle and reassemble my first PC without any prior knowledge. I had to learn to use DOS to navigate the OS and get things done. I got a book from the library about it, and spent hours upon hours just learning about how the file structure, commands, programs, external media, etc. worked before I could do anything remotely useful.

Today a PC/tablet/phone is a black box, you have to actively WANT to tinker in order to learn such about how they work. And most big tech companies try to punish you for so much as trying to replace a battery yourself.

I suspect you are projecting some personal feelings onto a stranger’s comment.

So am I.

Welcome to Europe! I moved to Germany almost 20 years ago, and holy batflaps am I happy about that choice.

That’s the nature of the beast. You can’t have human users on a network without at least some slop.

But the decentralized network ensures that a “techno-baron” has no more say than you or I, which is exactly what the internet is supposed to do.

That’s decidedly better than a centralized system, especially now.

At least they stuck to it, and were transparent about the state of things.

I’ve bought several early access games that I don’t play yet, because I believe they will get there at some point. My hardware doesn’t do cyberpunk 2077 justice, but if it did I would’ve bought it too.

The anaconda is in reality a penis. Here’s the music video being referenced:

I just thought perhaps there is already a lot of the necessary components there since bazzite is so well-tailored to running windows games. But of course I have no idea what I’m talking about. I hope I made that at least somewhat clear in my comment.

This is just an idea, but bazzite could possibly work for affinity. It’s designed around steam and proton compatibility layer, and it can play almost all games made for Windows out of the box.

So perhaps you could use the proton compatibility layer instead of wine. You could even add the exe to steam as a “non-steam-game” to make starting the program super simple.

I am no expert here, it’s just a thought.

Yes. German is a Lego-block language. The example in the image is extreme, but there are lots of “combination” words like that.

For example, glove is Handschuh, which means hand-shoe. A shoe for your hand.

Germany has regulations for food that are much more demanding than those of the US, so there isn’t much that fast food restaurants can do to cut costs in Germany aside from the order touchscreens and such.

Here’s an example.

Excerpt about additives:

Believe it or not, big name food brands often adjust their ingredients in European countries compared to their products released in the United States. Certain ingredients that are illegal in Europe are still allowed, and commonly used, in the United States. The following eight common ingredients are approved in the U.S. but  banned by the European Union or select European states.

• rBGH (rBST) 

  • Common foods: Milk and yogurt
  • Purpose: Injected into cows to boost milk production

• Ractopamine

  • Common foods: Pork, beef, and turkey
  • Purpose: Increases lean muscle near the end of an animal’s life

• Potassium bromate (bromated flour)

  • Common foods: Hamburger and hot dog buns, and packaged baked goods
  • Purpose: Makes bread fluffier and whiter

• Brominated vegetable oil (BVO)

  • Common beverages: Sports drinks and sodas
  • Purpose: Keeps flavor from floating to the surface

• Olestra 

  • Common foods: Fat-free chips
  • Purpose: Substitutes fat

• Azodicarbonamide

  • Common foods: Frozen dinners, pasta mix, and packaged baked goods
  • Purpose: Bleaches flour rapidly

• Coloring agents (Red #40, Yellow #6, Yellow #5, and Blue #1)

  • Common foods/beverages: Cake mix, candy, soda, and sports beverages
  • Purpose: Changes food color

• BHA and BHT

  • Common foods/beverages: Gum, cereal, vegetable oil, butter, and beer
  • Purpose: Makes food last longer

And these additive ingredients expand past the EU into the United Kingdom. For example, the American version of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is entirely different from Kraft’s “Cheesey Pasta” sold in Great Britain. Take a look at the differences below.

Yes, they are dominating the handheld gaming market and will continue to do so for a while.

This has nothing to do with your personal preferences.

You won’t regret it.

But be aware, it is an immutable distro. This means that it is basically unbreakable (you hear stories about how linux machines can become broken by some update or such, but not bazzite or other immutable distros).

But this also means that if you don’t find an flatpak (or appimage) of a program you need, it can be a little teadious to install it.

Just a warning. The distrobox option is especially flexible and powerful, but you do need to do a little reading up and setting up to install stuff using these methods.

Otherwise everything on bazzite JUST WORKS, especially gaming. And the flatpak store has a ton of stuff, I have never needed anything that wasn’t on there.

SteamOS is free to use for everyone, making it a legit Linux FOSS operating system.

It’s not easy to install for non-technical people though. But Bazzite is, and it’s basically a different “flavor” of steamOS.

It’s what I use, and it’s great.

Good point! I mean, valve doesn’t even report to stockholders!!! Bad valve, bad.

And valve has already won. Everyone else is just playing catch-up, and good luck catching up to a Linux-driven steam-integrated platform. You will need it.

Mozilla should approach proton to try and get accuired. I would love to see Firefox and Thunderbird become part of the proton landscape.
