Most likely just fake leather, as real leather is very finicky to work with. If it is fake, it's probably PVC so look up your local municipal recycling for PVC.

Depends on the distro.

I found Linux Mint good enough for 99% of things, and most problems can be solved without a terminal.

Problem is you’d still need to know enough about Linux (just like with windows) to troubleshoot. For example, the files app was causing an error when plugging in drives, I need to figure out that the files app wasn’t call files, but nemo, it’s config lived in a hidden folder called .config in my home folder, and in .config I could delete my configuration to fix my issue.

In my view Linux is about Windows XP or 7 in terms of usability, a bit of a learning curve, but one worth learning.

A few modern improvements which makes using Linux easier.

Use Flatpaks where possible, it’s platform agnostic and usually supported by the actual devs.

AppImages (think portable exe for windows), are another option, but to “install” them you’d need an app called Gear Lever.

Check with an apps developer before installing, flatpaks can be packaged by anyone, and they might loose support (steam for example is installable via Deb not flatpak).

Odyssey on Easy/Very Easy, good (the story was fun)

Odyssey on Normal is a grind-a-thon which made me want to never play another Ubisoft game again. Thus far nothing has come out to prove me wrong.

That was my guess too, and if Nautilus has the auto mount disabled the error goes away. But I'd like for USB drives to be auto mounted. And lsof just gives a wall of indecipherable text. What would I be looking for?

Pokémon Emerald, and PixelJunk monsters.

I prefer GOG but not enough to not buy from Steam. And each store has its pros and cons.

As a single player gamer, I love the DRM free nature of GOG, especially for classic games like Rollercoaster Tycoon or SimCity 3000. I have older PCs lying around and being able to play my games on them is very very nice.

On the other hand, updating my game is a chore and GOG Galaxy while cool isn't polished, and very buggy especially only Linux via Wine. I wouldn't even consider online multiplayer games unless it had its own server.

Compared to Steam which works with Linux by default, no Lutris or Bottles configuring to get games to work. Updates are seamless and online multiplayer is built into the client. Let alone remote play, steam families, big picture, and all the other features it does.

My only gripe with Steam is the GIANT question mark on what happens to my games when they pull support. I mean I can't even play my older games any more on my old Windows 7 machine, and its not like Fallout 3 is getting updates.

So my priority is thus: GOG then Steam, if its single player and the price is similar (+-$10). Steam then GOG if it makes sense or I need steam features (I.e. I got Stardew Valley on Steam since my SO has it there too and we can play together). Finally if the game is around $5 get it on either, or maybe both if I like the game.

Where do I prefer? Printables

Where am I going to? Anywhere that has an audience, that's not sketchy.

I'd like to a small model repo, but I need a reach, so I'll post anywhere that complies with the licenses I wish to distribute my models under.

So far it's Printables and Thingiverse. I tried MyMiniFactory but for my designs I never got traction

I think it depends on my mood. Sometimes I just have an urge to play something or just want to do something.

It can be months at a time where I want to play nothing, then a week/month straight of Minecraft or Breath of the Wild.

I feel it all depends on what kind of mood I'm just in. Playing new games will always be hard since I might not be in the mood to play something new. Or other times, I see a cool video and wanna try the new thing.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to have the right hardware ready so that when the mood strikes you can enjoy it.

Rollercoaster tycoon was free in my cereal box. So was Ultimate Yahtzee

I want to use gnome, but I keep missing my start menu, so I’ve settled with kde.

I know I can mod gnome to look like windows, but I don’t want to put the effort in just for gnome to break it with an update

My gripe list.

A configurable auto audio selector. For example 1) headphones 2) HDMI 3) Laptop Speakers if a device is t plugged in default to the one bellow it. Bonus points if this can be made per display (or like on windows silently update per display if manually swapped)

Wireless display out on kde

Pre installed waydroid

DaVinci Resolve on Intel GPU (without building the intel compute yourself)
