Something else I would do I find a large open parking lot and intentionally drive in a way to make my car lose traction. This way I could practice my over steer, counter steer. Sure it was fun to play in the snow but I wanted to make sure I had a controlled setting to do this. Just be careful of light poles and other obstacles.

Minor issue is the vulken shaders that load before I play a game. Most of the time it's quick and only done after an update but some games do take a long time.

Also having issues where Wine freezes up when running applications. Sometimes for close to two minutes before responding. I haven't looked into this one yet as it just happened recently.

Bazzite with Nvidia GPU of this matters.

Non pain point not having the system install updates during my "focus" time and bringing the system to a crawl until I let it finish.

Something I picked up when driving in Wisconsin is if you are driving and need to change lanes take your foot off the acceleration pedal if there is a layer of Snow/slush/ice between the lanes. If the tires slip your not adding power to the wheels. Also take your time and slowly drift into the lane. It's not a race.

A tip someone gave me if you can't see the lane markers well is to slowly move towards the rumble strip. This can help you know where the edge of the road is.

I suggest you keep a reflective jacket or vest in the car just so you can be seen IF you need to get out of the car if you get stuck or putting on chains.

Yep. Learning a lot of common inputs on Windows does and does not apply with Linux. Lots of muscle memory to retrain myself on.

Sometimes ctrl c / v doesn't work and it's a combination of ctrl, super and C.
Que confused "what's the super key"

Turns out that's what the windows key on my keyboard is called. So far only when I was messing with the terminal.

The screenshot tool in Brazzite. I think it's called spectre.

I've recently dove back into Linux and my last try was on Mint. After a few issues I went back to Windows. With the recent Microsoft news I wasn't happy using a system that could start spying on me.

It's been close to a month and aside from some specific game issues likely due to running a nivida GPU I've been enjoying my time so far.

Copy paste did take a while to get used to. Also the default screenshot tool doesn't automatically put the snip on the clipboard.

My main focus is gaming so this has been a solid operating system to use.

It's been interesting so far. I used it to install some programs instead of using the GUI interface.

Did have to muck around to fix my HDMI audio latency issue. 1-3 seconds of not audio was a bit annoying.

Managed to get my dual boot with windows setup so Linux is the default OS unless I tell it to do Windows instead.

Even used it to shutdown the computer a few times just because I could.

It's not as bad or intimidating but I do know to be cautious.

One bad SUDO and I can wipe something out.

I'll check that link this weekend when I have more time.

I have limited experience with terminal. I used it to update Mint last year when I tried but had to read a lot of forums just to know what to type.

I have no idea what btrfs is or gamescope. I'll look them up soon.

I did find the flat pak to help install programs and got a few loaded already.

Agreed. I'm working towards that goal. I think the biggest hurdle is if a game runs on Windows but not as well on Linux I might opt to finish the game on Windows. Even with proton I did find a game I was playing recently was noticeably lower quality or "laggy"

I left because of things the company was doing. I liked being part of a community that aligned with my interests.

I miss being able to play with people like that. The challenge of raids were fun and I took a lot of pride in the progress we were making.

Honestly it's been lonely. I've tried to play other games with people but it felt disconnected and eventually I walked away from that and only played single player games.

So here's the deal. I can't understand people. Between the ADHD and general hearing issues I would pay a lot to have the ability to have subtitles on people. I feel left out on a lot of conversations due to not being able to follow along.

Something that's an option is I'm seeing eco skeletons on the market. It's still expensive at $900 but if that means you can give your loved one the ability to walk without risk and hospital visits that could be a way to go. Might even be covered with some insurance. Just leave a note written by them explaining in simple terms why they are wearing those weird things.
