These days it’s mainly snap and how you can type apt install and the system will do snap install instead, for firefox for example.

It’s much higher than zero, if let’s say your ssd goes kaput & you try moving everything at once to a new one. That action by itself comes with risk, especially if the usb stick is very large & manufactured after covid. There is also the bit rot issue, usb sticks are useless as backup solutions for any use case, it’s just a false sense of security.

In my opinion discord is not yet enshittified enough for these problems to be easily solved. Give it a couple more years, if matrix gains just a bit more traction, the scaffolding to do stuff like that will be worked out.

Whether that’s SteamOS, Bazzite, Bluefin or Aurora, that doesn’t matter all that much.

and some say the sex afterwards was better,
Circumcision will lower the sensitivity of the penis. This will lead to longer sex when younger, but there are very obvious downsides. Everyone should decide themselves as young adults.
Read the arch wiki if you are in doubt, go through manual install once for experience, follow the arch wiki guide for that too.
Arch wiki is life, YT guides are basically useless for this.

Outside of that we are still 19 years behind PS, feature parity is impossible, anywhere near the same productivity is impossible :/
Feels like the foss community is a bit unlucky with gimp, there are so many truly great productivity tools outside of this one area.
Celeste has to be 1. right?

The truth of the matter is that you need the user interactions from the free model to train and that value cannot be understated and if you are playing catchup, then it’s a must. No one would use the Chinese model if it was a shit service.
This true for most people, but Calc is limiting for certain use cases.

It’s insane, his worst interview to date, though I knew for a longtime that he is a sellout.

Probably not significantly less secure than Xorg itself, I wouldn’t mind using in your place. DE security is usually not a huge problem, if someone can exploit these vulnerabilities usually you are quite bonked.
Remember most of what happens on screen is xorg, the wm is a simply interacting with xorg and other parts of your DE are simple user level programs like the panel etc…
