I think Proton is the smartest thing Valve has ever done. Thanks to that, Steam is going to get about 90% of all the Windows gamers switching over to Linux.

Well, since the billionaire class doesn't pay it's fair share of the tax burden, that money has to come from somewhere.

Well clearly it's the truck. If you don't eat that truck right away, it's gonna spoil.

Same here. I installed Linux Mint on my internal D: drive and left my Windows C: drive completely untouched. Then, I changed my boot order in bios to boot from drive D: This lets you play with Linux without messing with the bootloader on your Windows drive, or fiddling with partitions.

Once I decided to keep Linux, I modified the D: drive bootloader ("sudo update-grub") so it would show both drives when I booted from D: Now I can boot into either OS without having to change the boot order in BIOS.

If you want to believe that illness is caused by demons and witchcraft, fine, knock yourself out. But that's not how the real world works. If you're going to make extraordinary claims about reality, then you have to provide extraordinary proof. "I believe" isn't going to cut it in the reality-based community.

There's a native Linux version of Steam (at least for Ubuntu / Mint) that works great. It also uses a proprietary Wine wrapper called Proton, that's pre-configured for all your Steam Library games.

Funny story: a guy brings his car into a repair shop for service. Starts watching porn on his phone in the waiting room. Meanwhile the Bluetooth speaker in his car is giving everyone the full audio experience.

Make sure you know what your phone is paired with. Especially if you watch porn.

This isn't the first time Microsoft has pushed telemetry and malware in its OS. But I think they have finally crossed the line with CoPilot. What they want to do with it is so incredibly obvious and intrusive that most people just won't stand for it.

You can buy reversible USB cables online. The connector works in either direction. They're pretty neat.

Agreed. If the only that stops some people from committing crimes is the threat of supernatural punishment, then they have the morality of an insect.
