Can we all agree there was no good option in the Biden/Trump election?

Tencent is worse than Hasbro

What alternative would you recommend?

This woman mentioned in the article, Morgpie, has quite a bit of content on Reddit and otherwise if you're looking for some research material. She's got some very high quality educational videos...

We need to fuck off with the fines. If the penalty for something is a fine, it just becomes the price of doing said illegal thing, and doesn't de-incentivise it at all. People need to start going to jail, or else the crimes of these companies are just going to get worse and worse because there's no reason for them not to. Like, oh no we were fined 1.3M but we made 5M from doing the illegal thing so it's ultimately worth it.

Haha yeah I do this all the time

Oh yeah I forgot about the Staals. They deserved the hate they got lol.

I think it's to stop players getting singled out for refusing to show support for certain causes, prolly a response to the hate against certain Russian players opting out of pride days last year. Kinda dumb imo. But I blame the fans who were dumb enough to think that any player with family still in Russia would openly support the LGBTQ community.

Tried it out cause of curiosity and the allure of not being subject to a corporation's whims. Discovered package managers, aur, how customizatable the whole experience is and never looked back

I still dual boot Windows for a select couple games that don't run on Linux (anticheat) but I try to use it as little as possible cause it just feels gross.

Bitwig and Blender work great on Linux, as well as most games. MS Office and the proprietary apps will need a separate Windows install. Wine is a compatibility layer that essentially translates the Windows files into something that your Linux OS can use. It works great for some things, like games, but isnt recommended/doesn't work for others, like Office or Adobe suite. Personally I'd recommend finding the alternatives for the programs you need on Windows and trying them out, while keeping the original programs in your Windows install. You can get used to the workflow of the new programs and decide if switching is a viable thing for you. And if not, hey now you're comfortable with another set of programs just in case you need them in the future.

Essentially, yeah. Most programs will install to your root directory, but all your personal configs and personal files will be in your home directory.

What I'd personally recommend is using Timeshift to automatically keep backups if your home directory on a separate partition, then if you want to switch distros or if you need to reinstall for whatever reason you can use Timeshift to restore your home directory pretty easily, as long as your new install uses the same file system.
