Nice article!
I know it’s hearsay but I’ll throw in that on my mint rig with a ryzen CPU and nvidia GPU I haven’t had any problem with any game I’ve run through steam in the past 3-4 years. I just buy what I want and fire it up.
I don’t play comp games but haven’t had issues with the few multiplayer games i be tried

- Comment on Ultra-white ceramic cools buildings with record-high 99.6% reflectivity 1 year ago:
Are you a builder? Do you have any experience installing and maintaining green roofs? Your assertion than you’d typically use several waterproofing layers suggests not. I have experience building these systems in the real world and the documentation to support their use. BTW - flat roofs aren’t a thing. Expect in traditional building in desert areas. “Flat” roofs aren’t flat.
- Comment on Ultra-white ceramic cools buildings with record-high 99.6% reflectivity 1 year ago:
Not if you use a waterproof base layer. This isn’t some theoretical thing, its tried and tested technology in common use

Its a copypasta that has been around for years to use when some bootlicking Muppet goes “yeah but capitalism is da best and solves all our problems” We get it, you’re white and think you’re middle class and everything works out for you. Congrats. Your privilege is built on the bodies of poor brown people
- Comment on Ultra-white ceramic cools buildings with record-high 99.6% reflectivity 1 year ago:
Trees? Not many. Grasses, herbs, wildflowers, and shrubs? Tons of them. And you can pretty easily retrofit over an existing sloped roof. And the weight is no more than a tiled roof.

Aha! I went down this road recently.
I have the main full Wikipedia plus extras on my file server accessible on the home land through kiwix.
It was really simple and painless to set up. It also includes wikihow which is the How you’re after
These things aren’t the greatest sources for anything of course but they cover pretty much everything you might want to know in a general “archiving human knowledge at home” sense.
Very happy with it all and have bookmarks on all the devices at home now.

- Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription 1 year ago:
YouTube!
I would 100% start by dual booting Linux Mint or KDE Neon alongside your windows install. Mint is more like windows, Neon is similar but has tons of configuration options so can be a bit much. Either will do you well though.
You can see reviews of both on YouTube to see how they look, and also watch some instructional on how to install a dual boot system. You’ll end up with Linux and windows both on your PC and you can pick which to boot at each start. That way you can go back to with does to get stuff done or checknon things while you’re learning.
Lastly, just be aware that things do work differently. That’s the good bit though! If you’ve used a Mac before you’ll be familiar with Linux already. The big differences are in how the file system works and how programs are installed. Again, YouTube will help you to figure those out.
Taken it slow, learn what does what and why, and you’ll be up and running in no time :)

- Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription 1 year ago:
Yeah seconded on Mint. Works really well, is very stable (way more than windows), has a lot of out of the box configuration and tools in the GUI. Connectivity (printers, wifi, network shares) and security are both excellent and intuitive. I use it 10 hours a day 5 days a week and its glorious
