You actually can poison(?) yourself by drinking too much water. Seemed to be a trend to get high a few years ago. So I guess in that scenario you actually can get addicted to water.

Thanks, my daughter wanted to download something from YouTube the other day.

Couldn’t have been me, I purged the last Windows machine from our household last week and the first thing my wife wanted to have installed was Steam.

That is absolutely not a slow laptop. If it takes a long time to boot there must be something wrong. I have a similar system that takes about ten seconds to boot.

Anyways, like others said, LVM with LUKS is the simplest. It uses your hardware to quickly decrypt the drive on boot. While it is running access to your data is protected by your login manager or lock screen.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a recent one.

Signal!

Stay away from the Thinkpad T580 with the Geforce MX150. It’s horribly throttled and can’t even run Quake 3 properly although it should actually be capable of running Doom 2016.

Might be the same with the T480.

That’s more or less what a virtual machine does. And I bet cheating programs do as well.

Now that’s a shit post.

GCompris and Minetest or Minecraft are top.

At it’s simplest you just start the programs with Wine. So when you have Wine installed you can just select to run an exe file with Wine. By itself it will install them to a hidden folder where a mock-Windows-folderstructure is created and add entries to your start-menu equivalent.

Most people use helper apps that add a separate mock-Windows environment for every program. Makes it easier to manage them, especially if one program needs different settings from another to work.

Bottles is such a helper for general programs. Heroic is mostly for GOG and Epic games. Lutris generally for games. And Steam uses it’s own Wine version Proton automatically for verified games and you can trivially configure it to automatically use it for every Windows game.

Look at https://protondb.com for games and https://appdb.winehq.org/ for general programs.

And in reality they’re all just in the 2.6 branch. I still remember the transition from 2.4.

I wonder how that will play together with Distros like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed where you basically do a whole OS upgrade and are not supposed to do “just” updates.

I hope we can easily supply our own script to run.

I bet someone accidentally a bottle.

I care a little bit. I’ve got my good 5.1 sound system for the TV but I don’t see the necessity to invest into an Atmos system. The TV can display 4k with HDR but I’m satisfied with HD SDR stuff. When playing games 60 fps is nice but I won’t die if my Steam Deck can only manage 30 fps.

So, most stuff is usually good enough for me. And at the moment I can’t leave my bed anyways so I can live with laptop speakers.

Fli4l should. Back when it was new it was meant to fit on a floppy and run on 3’86 machines. It’s for running a home router.

I did Judo as a kid. But it was more for health and fun. Never really needed to defend myself.
