I tossed Mint on a VM briefly and really disliked it. Specifically finding the terminal was painful. Did they bury it pretty deep or did I just overlook it?

What about the Launch series keyboards?

I use PopOS on my rig which is primarily gaming. It does great and gets out of my way.

Identity theft monitoring services always scare me. It seems like you are dumping a huge amount of information into a single system and just hoping the vendor is secure. I have access to one but refuse to put much information in. Is this mindset incorrect?

Agree with you, but “duty to party” shouldn’t exist and it’s sad that it does.

To have one ready out of the box with linux maybe look at the System76 offerings? https://system76.com/

Edit: just got a chance to check and they are slightly above your $1000 criteria. So maybe on his recommendation.

Is this actually confirmed anywhere though? I keep seeing it repeated and the only ‘source’ is a ?xeet? .

This was an absolutely amazing game when I played the original. The art style is not aiming for realism either so those games tend to hold up well. I would highly recommend picking it up.

Edit: Just checked on steam and it looks like they have added Denuvo DRM. Maybe you can find an old version without it?

Kerbal Space Program

Highly dependent on workplace. Many with govt contracts could feel an obligation to punish this.

Pop has been Rock solid for me and steam gaming. Trivial to set up and the store is wonderful too. Nice that it works great for non gaming tasks as well.

As a counterpoint, I’m specifically keeping passwords with a separate service out of concern in having a single point of failure for the majority of my online persona. I do pay for proton unlimited but mostly for VPN, simple login, and email.

Ubuntu broke with my Nvidia card. I went to PopOS and the problems stopped.

As a side note question, I just realized it’s been a while since I looked through all the streaming options for Anime. I’m happy with CR at the moment but are there others I should consider? I like to reevaluate any subscriptions I have every year.
