Better to use winget, though. That way you don't even need to bother with Edge's initial setup screens.

I'd suggest getting Linux Mint or another distro with a large user base like Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse or Debian. That way if you do run into problems, there'll be a lot of people online that can help you.

The main advantage of gaming-focused distros like Bazzite is that Nvidia's proprietary drivers and Steam come pre-installed. However, if you're a gamer and a streamer, you're probably used to a little tinkering, so you should be able to install both of those by hand. (Both can be done through a GUI.) You might also get marginally better performance from these, but IMO this won't be noticeable enough to be worth the trouble.

If you do choose to go with Mint, I recommend installing the Nvidia drivers through the "Driver Manager" and a newer kernel through the "Update Manager".

I really couldn't care less about the whole gay aspect.

However, in my personal head-canon Jay-Den's sensitivity and fear of public speaking doesn't quite line up with how I imagine the mind and emotions of a full-blood Klingon would work. I feel like every Klingon would have the instincts and emotions of a predator/hunter and I haven't quite seen that in Jay-Den. To me the character would make more sense if he was only part Klingon, like Alexander.

Then again, who's to say to what extent stereotypical Klingon behaviour is defined culturally as opposed to genetically? I do think it's interesting and refreshing to see a Klingon acting contrary to cultural norms and I do like the character. The only other Klingon character I can recall who wasn't a full-blown warrior is that one scientist in TNG.

I say let's have some broadcasting about American history worth celebrating:

  • The foundation of America and the allies that made it possible
  • The immigrants that built America
  • How slavery was abolished
  • The history of civil rights in America
  • How America built an empire after WW2 using soft power
  • Etc...

There's some money to be made in selling refurbished Lego sets, but that won't make you rich either.

Do the writers and directors give you a lot of input into how to play your character and the direction of his story/development?

If it were up to you, what kind of scenes or storylines would you most like to play or see Jay-Den Kraag in?

Cool! Looks like Home now loads noticeably faster for me.

Check it out! Over there is an old matras covered in colourful pillows. Sorry if it's a bit smelly. In that corner there's a beanbag, with a sweet-ass lava lamp and an old record player next to it. The lava lamp works with tea lights, but the record player doesn't work because there's no electricity. In the other corner there's a cardboard box full of old Spider-Man comics! Pretty cool, right?

I prefer to impress the ladies by building a really nice treehouse.

Does Penguin even publish self-help books?

Right now I can access my Rabobank account and all its settings through their website. To log in I insert my debit card into a little device called a "Rabo Reader", enter my pin and scan a "color code" (QR code, but with coloured dots) on the website. The Rabo Reader then generates and displays a one-time code I can use to log in.

IIRC ING texts the one-time code to your phone.

When doing an iDeal payment, you are usually redirected to a page with a QR code you can scan with your banking app. However, there is also an option on the page to select your bank and authorize the payment through your bank's website. I wouldn't be surprised if the latter option is phased out when iDeal merges with/turns into Wero, though.

For the foreseeable future all in-store payments using debit cards are going through Mastercard or Visa, both American companies.
