What in the world is that gold thing on the left?
Okay, but are they actually running?
Login and check that the processes actually started, and check logs to see if they had any failures.
Anything done locally that only affects your user is userspace. Doing configuration changes in userspace versus globally will reduce the likelihood of you breaking something. So making changes in ~/.local, for example, instead of /usr/local.
Did you check that your services are actually starting on boot?
Unless you've absolutely made the kernel or package manager unusable, there should be no need to reinstall an entire Linux OS. It's not like Windows where the registry changes over time, and the OS will become unstable or quirky. It sounds like you just need to be more diligent about doing things in userspace.
Have you been arrested for fucking plants? Sounds like you might have something to hide from a potential employer then.
You're sad equally insane as the person who commented on my comment. Go outside.
Not sure why you're making it politically motivated, but alright.
You think these companies are keeping tabs on who you voted for? Or maybe you're concerned about their participation in an idiots attempt at a governor uprising by occupying the Capital. One has more weight than the other, you see?
Yes, both those would require a Steam integration with metadata about events. But you're suggesting they're harvesting data somehow?
Yes.
