Mandatory military service, gun training, and guns are owned in a context of national security.

Whereas in US it’s a ‘self-defence’ thing so apparently US citizens can fire off a gun in quite a few legal/illegal circumstances. That got extended to school shootings.

Wouldn’t happen in Switzerland as it seems to be more a collective national defence protocol.

Same, but saw the ‘piracy/linux’ in post title and knew it had to be him.

Opened a post about how to play pirated games and it got reported.

I reckon that applies when you’re working for a company but freelance (or own company) you may inevitably start to overlap public and private life.

I’d say no. As they say, find your passion, and if you make money using that passion, you’re good for life.

I think the difference is that it was already your passion rather than a hobby.

Lutris is the answer to this post’s question.

This is most important, if OP isn’t using any ‘enterprise’ apps, they should be able to function on FOSS, wine or proton apps.

I get the impression it’s a very balanced relationship: Fedora develops, Redhat devs perfect, then it gets thrown back to Fedora. I’m not well read on the subject, but Fedora isn’t hating on their positioning.

If you feel like travelling (leaving the country for quite some time), you could go into teaching abroad, or for much less money, be a scuba instructor. Apologies if it sounds like a half hearted answer but this is literally what me and friends do.

This is fair

Cachyos has a meta gaming package which will install steam, Lutris and a couple of launchers like heroic games launcher. Should have some extra optimisations as well. Lutris can install emulators too, as well as showing games in your steam library. I’m not sure if it can go full screen like retroarch and use a controller to select games, maybe it can.

Get Nitro!!! /s

Kde connect has some odd issues with routers, I’m suspecting the network swapping from 2.4g to 5g.

I think getting the base DE and ‘adding modules’ (extensions) is great. And some distros like Bazzite add around 10+ extensions by default.

This. I find that most extensions don’t break as gnome isn’t making radical upgrades.

Ah my mistake, I must’ve installed it shortly after installing CachyOS.

I have a specific use case for CachyOS but I see two categories:

1. Bazzite, not intending to use the terminal much. Also less frequent updates which ought to be very stable. Atomic.
2. CachyOS, using the terminal and frequent updates. Rolling, and good support base.

Both use flatpaks which will keep apps sandboxed. A lot of users don’t seem to like snaps being pushed by Ubuntu so flatpak is the big choice.

I’m a teacher and I make Linux work for me. Open doc formats get converted to pdf for the shitty windows 7 running the printer in the printing room, and the Android/Windows only app for communications I just run on my phone. PPTs run fine. When there was a problem with the projector, ‘IT guy’ went to my laptop, got confused (it’s Gnome), I told him not to interfere with it because it’s Linux. He proceeded to say ‘Ah, not working because it’s not windows.’ Later that day he actually came to fix the cable to the projector.

A motorbike. I’ve had a few close calls in a car, I don’t think it would have worked out well on a motorbike.

Well, I think Einstein was a genius but much of his work was built on Minkowski spacetime, so the conclusions about relativity could have been reached at some point when physicists were starting to work with it. I am in no expert position to judge this, but new developments in science do genuinely build on new insights, and Minkowski built the mathematical and theoretical platform that was evidently available to physicists like Einstein.
