Just like how Breaking Bad intentionally fudges the recipe, you gotta do your research first if you want to imitate or try things you see in media.

Sponsorblock extension, works best on Firefox and forks

UBlock Origin and YouTube revanced, that's the combo you should try using. No need to worry about looking at the ad if there is no ad.

I don't think that'll make things better, to be honest.

To celebrate, let me repost this same meme I made here when I first started posting in 196:

Good point, I should have mentioned that. Although I think it would be reasonable to say that paying a subscription for security updates would be a non-starter for almost all of the home users.

My decision was to install Linux Mint first on my work laptop and not my main gaming rig, so I would have the ability to switch between both OS's as needed, and have a fallback machine if either failed.

ProtonDB (Compatibility Database) should be your friend in checking what works and what doesn't, and for the most part, Windows games "just work", no need to even toggle a setting (unless you count forcing Proton instead of a native Linux port).

If you have software that is critical to your daily life on windows (Photoshop, Autodesk, VR software, anti-cheat heavy games), you dont need to jump ship on your main hardware. There are ways to get support after October 15th (Through IOT LTSC versions of windows 10, but you'll have to find a way to get it).

All of your other use cases would be perfectly served by any Linux distro, the Interstellar Lemmy client even has a convenient flatpack for a 1-click install.

Check ProtonDB first (you can even log in to view all your library at once). If everything you would want to play works, go for it! If not everything works currently, I'd recommend getting your hands on IOT LTSC win10, and use a spare device to get familiar with Linux distros.

There's no one "gaming" Linux distro that will work, but I personally just use Linux Mint because it is ol' reliable for me - intuitive enough GUI, but just as configurable as anything else. You do miss out on some of the more bleeding edge stuff that distros such as Arch and Bazzite get, but unless you are using very new hardware, I'm not sure if it would be necessary.

Iraqi Military became Iraqi insurgents/rebel forces (During US Occupation). Especially with all of their weaponry and training practically falling into the laps of the US's opposition during the war.

The more who are aware, the more who will care. And hey, not like typing an honest answer hurt anyone here.

You are excited for October 15th because less people will be trumpeting Linux migrations.

I am excited for October 15th for the avalanche of cheap liquidated hardware flooding eBay.

We are not the same

You're welcome! Always glad to help ppl with these kinds of questions!
