I don't think you'll have any trouble with Mint. I've set up senior citizens with Mint desktops and have yet to have any major issues. Contrary to what many people think, a solid Linux distro like Mint really isn't all that hard for a newbie to wrap their head around.

I've been using Linux Mint for the last....eight years? I think? Anyway, it's been great for gaming and if you want a minimum of fussing about, I would just install Steam and use Proton for compatibility. It's by far the easiest and most tinker-free gaming experience for Linux - at least in my experience. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to really research and tinker with any annoying issues. protondb.com has been extremely helpful in checking the compatibility of a certain game for Linux and even offers tips and tricks to make the fussier games work.

Very little, if anything, would remain of our civilization in five or six million years. At least I wouldn't think so, aside from what we have floating in outer space. Six million years is an awfully long time, and it's not like our consumer-based society builds things to last...

This has not been my experience, unfortunately.

This site has helped me discover lots of new artists I never would have found otherwise: https://www.music-map.com/

I've visited there exactly once, and you're right - it was crazy. I never went back and never plan to go back unless this backward state comes to it's senses.

My list of reasons to never visit Idaho just keeps getting longer and longer.

ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

You make perfect sense, and I'm inclined to agree with you. I think an argument can be made that the internet, for all it's positive aspects, has made our society worse in a lot of ways. I would love to go back, even though I know it's not possible.

I believe someone else used the term 'sealioning'. It fits, in your case. This is why I don't see any point in having a debate with you. Waste your time with someone else.

Never a waste of time to speak truth.
