Proton is the compatibility layer to run Windows games on Steam. Lutris is an app that lets you run non-Steam games in a similar manner.

I didn't really follow a guide. I mostly started by dual booting Linux and seeing what worked.

As someone who made the leap, I haven't booted Windows in months. Proton, Steam, and Lutris cover basically everything I play.

Whatever is your kink, bro.

Not on by default..... For now.

This is for IoT.

It's one of the only non-Android TV, Apple TV, or Roku ways of streaming Netflix with a remote via HTPC. There are EXTREMELY niche uses for it.

If purchasing isn't ownership, piracy isn't stealing.

They're in the UK. They don't have our stupid healthcare system.

Clearly that's America smoke, which is far superior.

You haven't seen Texas, then. Texas has Big Bend, which is my second favorite National Park in the whole country. And I've been to over 100 National Parks, Preserves, and Monuments.

Yosemite is still more beautiful, though.

Davis Mountains, Palo Duro, Enchanted Rock.......Texas is a huge ass state with a lot of different stuff to see.

Yosemite is my favorite National Park in the country, but Big Bend is a close second.

I've seen basically all of the West half of the US and lived there. Yes, California is more beautiful. I'm just saying Texas isn't some horribly drab state all around. Big Bend, Davis Mountains, etc. are beautiful in their own right.

I've traveled the country full time in an RV for two years. Yes, there are more beautiful places in the US (Sequoia, Redwood Forests, Olympic National Park, etc), but I'm just saying that Texas isn't all just some drab hole-in-the-wall. If you want that, go to Ohio or Indiana.

As a Texan, not sure what part of Texas you think is so ugly. There is a lot of beauty here.

Our politicians just suck.

This is a comments section. And I commented. Sorry you don't like it, but you're welcome to scroll on by.

I hope whatever OS you use works well for you. Even if it's Windows.
