it’s a joke

And they sold the list of people who cancelled to the US government!

With actual devices

looks rather shallow learning for me

I mean, with a post like this, I’d call it baiting

They think gifting gold baubles to Trump gives them enough power to strong arm the EU?

My example is home assistant. Deploying on its own hardware means an officially supported management layer, which makes my life easier.

If you’re talking about backups and updates for addons and core, that works on VMs as well.

If you look at history, Google did the opposite with Chrome, they forked an open source browser and turned it into the world’s most used.
I guess we’ll see.

Rockwell is a great actor, can’t recall any bad performances from him. He even managed to get some good performance as Hammer in the disaster named Iron Man 2.

For now

Well, the browser status quo. I guess they want their own Chrome.

Amazing movie. I’m never watching it again.

So, first of all, as others said, bricking is a non-issue, cellphones are stupid, PCs are not, it’s virtually impossible to damage your hardware without going out of your way to do esoteric stuff.

Second, neither Windows nor Linux “Just Work”, there’s a million factors that may cause issues, it’s just that you’re more used to Windows’ issues.

If gaming is a priority to you, Bazzite has been quite plug and play for me, and the packages you listed can easily be installed as flatpaks. Of course games run through a compatibility layer, and something may not work. Nowadays the most tweaking people do is install multiple versions of proton and set a game to use one or another. If that doesn’t work, things get more complex, but as an inexperienced user, your best bet would be to play a different game.

Is this a laptop or desktop? With desktops my suggestion is always to buy a new drive, disconnect the old one and install Linux on the new one. This way you don’t risk nuking your data, and you can later connect both and use your UEFI as a bootloader to choose which OS to boot.

Do you believe the Pope to be… dumb?

Are those biblical droves or Roman droves?

They aren’t that interested in selling Steam Decks, it was the means to an end right from the start

Molly Cobb?

Yeah, that’s why you’re supposed to have people with different skills, but of course nowadays everything’s gotta be crap tier all the time

So to uninstall Windows first you have to get through Door?

It doesn’t look like glass to me
