US - specifically Michigan. The naming convention and splits most commonplace around me seem to be

Kindergarten - 4th grade | “Elementary School”

5th grade - 8th grade | “Middle School”

9th grade - 12th grade (referred to as Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior years) | “High school”

But there is a bit of variance depending on district size. For example my school district downsized. So currently we have

Kindergarten - 6th grade | “Elementary School”

7th grade - 12th grade | “Secondary School”.

The former setup seems to resemble most of what other Americans would recognize.

Regarding “postsecondary education”, at least here, that specifically refers to any education past the standard 12 year education program, be it medical school or trade school or what we call college and many other places call uni/university.

Looks like rainbow chrysanthemum according to the iOS translate feature.

EDIT: and a Google search explains that “rainbow chrysanthemum” flowers don’t actually exist in a natural form, and seeds claiming to be them are usually just standard chrysanthemum seeds dyed to look different and won’t produce rainbow flowers.

lol, is being momentarily frustrated at a learning curve the same thing as “being annoyed”, then sure?

People don’t learn things by staying inside their comfort zones all the time.

I’ve got a Steam Deck, and just installed Bazzite onto it, and I’m currently wishing that installing everything was as simple as this. Back when I used Linux daily there wasn’t this whole idea of “rootless” and immutable and sandboxed environments, and just figuring out how to get yad installed for steamtinkerlaunch to work had me faffing about with Nix and Fleek and Distrobox, and they’re all neat if I had the time to learn them but long story short I wish everything was package managers with a simple GUI.

They don’t even have to support Linux. They just have to stop actively preventing the game from launching on Linux platforms.

I’ve heard there’s some kind of issue with archive.is and Cloudfare DNS, if you’re using that. Some kind of incompatibility on the archive.is end where they’re blocking requests.

In this context “no longer supported” just means “no longer receiving active development support”. Not “doesn’t work with the service”.

So actually no, that’s not what “no longer supported” means here, at all.

Oh, I get it. You’re being unhelpful and just venting. That’s pretty lame.

Apparently elsewhere in the thread people are saying the AI may not be as good.

I remember seeing Half-Life on my friend’s older brother’s computer as a kid, and I never played it. I did play 2, and by the time I considered playing 1, I grabbed Black Mesa because it just looked so much nicer. I enjoyed it for sure. But I also played it before they finished so maybe I should go back and play it again.

SteamOS is just Linux with the desktop environment replaced.

You can boot Windows into an alternative shell.

Do you have any firsthand experience using windows that way? Because I’ve been setting up big screen controller focused HTPC frontends on Windows using that exact method for years.
