For someone who knows what they’re doing maybe, but this is about those who don’t, which is 99% of people.

Do you have any recommendations?

As others are saying, Debian is nice and stable. Its also pretty barebones, which gives you a lot of control. However, it uses older packages, meaning you’ll need to rely on flatpaks to get new features.

If you’re willing to lose a bit of stability in exchange for newer features and more control, you may also want to look into arch or endeavorOS. Arch uses a command-line installation whereas endeavor uses a graphical installer, but otherwise they’re pretty similar.

Hell yeah

Suggestions: Linux Mint: this is the most popular recommendation for new users. Its nice and stable, uses a familiar Windows-like layout, and should just work out of the box. Pop_OS!: this one is another popular option, which uses a layout similar to MacOS and has lots of features such as window tiling. It does use older package and isn’t often updated, however. Zorin OS: this one is pretty similar to Linux Mint. It also offers some additional desktop layouts, but some of these are paid, so if you want an entirely free experience, this is not the best option.

Suggestions for if you enjoy suffering: Arch Linux: Requires manual installation. You have to download and configure all the things yourself. Good option for advanced users who want complete control over their system and all packages installed on it. Otherwise, stay away. Arch-based distros (Endeavour, Garuda, etc): Far simpler to install, but will likely require regular maintainance, due to frequent updates.

If its slightly smaller and has an OLED screen, then it’ll be great. Those are really the only things the current Steam Deck needs.

Some basic concepts of medication - clean wounds (preferably with alcohol, because it kills germs), understand how germs spread, and know the basic ideas behind vaccines. If society had known these things 1000 years ago, it would’ve saved billions of lives.

Pokemon on my childhood 2DS was what got me interested in gaming, Minecraft was what brought me over to PC gaming (i had primarily played legacy console edition before this, but I wanted to mess around with mods and commands) and Portal 2 brought me to Steam.

That is exactly what they are though. Fossil fuel generators burn coal and oil to boil water, nuclear fission reactors use uranium to boil water, and nuclear fusion generators use really hot water to boil water. the only exceptions are renewables, cause they turn the turbine directly instead of using steam to do it.

My dad once programmed an installer, what does that make him?
