  • Oh, you’ll find it easy then, Linux is a walk in the park next to console firmware. Steam pretty much takes care of itself, and GOG is a little more complex but is largely handled by Heroic Games Launcher. Do check ProtonDB with regards to your favourites - generally it’s only online games with kernel level anticheat that won’t work at all with Linux, but there are a handful of others that aren’t working yet - but personally I haven’t had to do anything more than change the proton version in the steam settings to get a game working. Well, except Helldivers 2, but I’m pretty sure that’s a cursed tangle of code that crashes on all operating systems.


  • I was in a similar position to you and honestly there’s very little to it. It’s probably technically best to start with something really easy like Mint, but you can pretty much choose one at random and as long as you use the KDE desktop environment it’ll mostly look and act like windows. You should be prepared to try out a few different distros depending on your needs and/or preferences, but everything is so streamlined that you only need a little bit of computer knowledge to switch.










    1. Yes? I’m confused, is there no subject you’re familiar enough with to recognise sources?

    2. Yes it does, it doesn’t qualify as a reference, but luckily you’re looking at the Wikipedia page so you can just click it instead.

    3. Yes, people make mistakes, but luckily sometimes other people like me are around to correct them.

    4. No, I can justify my attributionby the fact that there’s only one (1) source that lists the dead by faction, the numbers just show how they misremembered the specifics of the source.

    This isn’t some complex chain of advanced logic, I really don’t understand what you’re having trouble with.


  • Correct, as I said elsewhere they got the distribution wrong because they are working off memory, but it’s not difficult to link the numbers - they mistook the police and army as having the same number of deaths as civilian protestors rather than student protestors, but the total roughly matches and there’s only one source that makes that specific distinction between groups rather than a general guess at a total. I don’t understand why you’re so upset about being told the source after asking for the source.
