That's clearly a cail

It is a good plan, maybe the best plan that was ever planned.

Most games are ok, big online games are usually not (anything that has kernel level anti cheat, straight up bans Linux, or uses a third party launcher that doesn't have much support on Linux). Usually can be overcome, but can result in a ban. For those games, you can either dual boot or virtualize Windows (which also can get u banned).

Tons of games have Proton support (check ProtonDB). If you select a stable distro and don't install custom stuff, you should be good without knowing much besides hitting Update all button from time to time and pasting any error message you get into your preferred search engine. Hell you can install SteamOS and be eternally happy.

Maybe this would be useful for organizing?

You can fuck on the internet.

Of course, a swing state

Hopefully only Linux ISOs ^/s^

The sale thing is true, however the price per hour is still a good deal. If you are on the edge, try the free demo. The devs are one of the best and most active devs I've ever witnessed for a game, and they 100% deserve the money.

In one of Vsauce's videos he suggested a good visualisation of the number of unique shuffles of a deck of cards that was originally suggested by Scott Czepiel.

Imagine you have a friend that is shuffling a deck of cards and ordering the deck uniquely every second. Also imagine that every action you take is completed instantaneously.

You stand on the equator. Wait a billion years. Then take a step. Wait another billion years. Then take another step. Continue this until you have got back to where you started.

Then take 0.02ml from the Pacific Ocean. Wait another billion years. Then take a step. Continue until you get back to where you started and take another drop out of the Pacific Ocean.

Repeat this process until the entire Pacific Ocean is empty. Then place a sheet of paper on the ground at sea level.

Refill the ocean and repeat - wait a billion years between steps as you walk around the equator, take a drop of water out of the Pacific Ocean every time you get back to where you started and place a piece of paper on the ground in a tower before refilling the Pacific Ocean and repeating.

When the tower of paper reaches the sun do you think that your friend has managed to produce each, unique ordering of the cards?

Nope! Not even close...

If you were to repeat all of the above 3000 times, then he'd be pretty much done.

Article for the sake of stirring up drama. Uncle Ben is a bad person, but that doesn't mean he can't have an opinion that someone likes (for example the development video mentioned in the FFF).

I also understand he is not a native English speaker and some words might get lost in translation. He is Czech, as I am, and I don't really see anything wrong with what he wrote.

This is "mildly interesting" at most.
