Recently switched to Linux Mint.

There are really just a couple extra steps to set up Linux for gaming. In my opinion it takes less time to install proton ge, Lurtis or Heroic than downloading and installing GPU drivers on windows:)

For 90% I just download the game via Steam and enable Proton GE (if its not native) and play it straight away.

In some cases if Im not happy with performance I check the Proton DB page to see what settings/proton version/launch commands other people are using and that solves it 9 out of 10.

If you have GoG, Uplay, Epic, etc games just use Heroic or Lutris. Again, first time setup can take 20-30 min using a video tutorial, but after that its all good to go.

I agree, someone should have highlighted it, this is just confusing.

In total?

Your answer sounds like it was lifted from a LinkedIn motivational post.

College favours the rich, who can afford it and I don’t think people with higher education are better at planning their future.

Lots of people are forced through college by their parents, often backed up with money and safety nets of security - if they fail the first time they just throw more money at it and try again.

I guess 5 rounds of 90 minutes long multi-stage interview process is much more efficient, where people selling an idealised version of themselves in imaginary scenarios.

Also talking to HR/recruitment department, who has no idea of the actual job is a great way to find the right candidate.

…its ridiculous

Cant you find out the answer for these questions with a series of short tests?

I once applied for a job at IBM and instead of an initial interview they sent me a series of interactive tests to check my skills. I ended up moving to another country and didn’t follow through, but still liked this approach.

Also in the EU I can see lots of job listings are using now a system where you either have a certain type of education/degree or a certain previous experience to be eligible to apply.

Still you need to have knowledge of the specific field, but technically if you started at the bottom with an entry level low skill job you can get higher with experience alone and without a university degree.

As soon as I find the time will do the same thing. Congrats!

Deus Ex is the 1984 of videogames.

There is no strict definition of what a console is. Just because the linux OS is not restricted and the hardware can be used as a pc with extra steps are we excluding the SD from the console topic?

Consoles are more and more like PCs, with many multimedia, productivity and utilility apps and even web browsing, so the Steam Deck IMO perfectly fits the discussion.

Out of the box it has a strict console-like UI and limited functionality for everything else other than gaming. You need to take special steps to use it as a PC (reboot in desktop mode, attach peripherals, etc)

Is there any rivalry going on?

I read books from both and other than Kings super fame there is not much difference. I don’t prefer either.

EU has its many flaws but they pretty much doing their job in regards of consumer rights, human rights and protection of personal data.
