With how trigger happy police are, the false positives would lead to more deaths than they prevent. And police would claim it’s justified because the machine told them so.

The Facebook representative could not answer whether…

This guy’s terrible at his job. Even I can answer that one.

Abso-fucking-lutely yes.

Helldivers 2 works on Linux by the way. It was the first game I installed on Linux and I have almost 100 hrs on it. I haven’t tried the others you mentioned though.

I switched to Linux Mint a couple months ago and use Steam a lot. I’ve tried at least 10 games and all worked perfectly.

But I don’t do competitive multiplayer. Those are more likely to have issues with anti-cheats. Although I did try Hell Let Loose and Helldivers very successfully and those are both major online titles.

Check https://protondb.com if you’re worried about a specific game’s compatibility. I’ve had silver rated games work perfectly though.

Edit: Apps - Photo editing and 3D CAD are the main areas I’ve struggled with on Linux. There’s no good Adobe equivalent, and no good Fusion 360 equivalent. Free CAD exists, but that can gently fuck off.

But what if they’re riding a horse and the horse does something silly? What then?

My only issue with Mint Cinnamon is it doesn’t have badges for notifications on app icons. For example, when you get a Discord message.

It’s a really weird omission.

I just dual booted Linux Mint yesterday when I was reminded of the Win 10 end of service date, and hope to keep with it as my main system.

Linux has come a long way with compatibility since I last tried it ~10 years ago. The fact that Steam games ran perfectly without an evening of configuring settings blew my mind.

Not to brag, but my mom let me have her old palm pilot from work.

Guess I was pretty cool when I peaked 20 years ago.

What do you use for tiling? I’ve been curious about this setup, but the software setup sounds like a pain compared to 2 monitors.

Maybe they were “just following orders”.
