Just pick a distro. It sounds like you want to learn. I suggest arch. It does the least for you, is the least opinionated, but also has by far the best documentation (arch wiki is the de facto linux documentation).

The difference between the distros is otherwise simply what package management tool they use, and what packages are in their repository. Nothing else is different that’s of any importance.

Yeah, if there’s anything that history and economics tells us, is that capitalism leads to less choice, whereas communism leads to many choices tailored to everyone individually

How they fixed it…

a robust charging connector

Wtf? Usb-c charging is the best thing that’s happened to laptops this decade. You’re insane to want to go back to the bad times.

It’s possible they installed with sudo or something, which ruined the permissions. First try find /home/lewis/.steam ! -user lewis. That will show if any files got owned incorrectly. If so, do chown -R lewis:lewis /home/lewis/.steam.

Not sure this is a permission/owner issue though. My guess is /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/_v2-entry-point: 285: exec: /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run doesn’t have the executable bit. try chmod +x /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/_v2-entry-point: 285: exec: /home/lewis/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run.

Wow. What an enlightened centrist take. All views are valid, great take

Ugh thy switched this? Please don’t start with the enshitification of KDE

natural scrolling is intuitive because it’s dragging the content as though it were a physical thing

How is that intuitive? Why would you be dragging the content? You’re not touching the content.

Lol really?

I don’t mean control from the perspective of someone posting data. I mean from the perspective of the server owner.

Because you’re arbitrarily restricting yourself to old versions of tools and software. The idea is you don’t want unexpected conflicts to bring down your system. But, what that means is when you do go to upgrade on something like a server, you would test the whole thing on the new version, and then migrate. That’s not how people use desktops. You just feel like one day upgrading from 20.04 to 20.10, and then get a massive burst of differences. It’s really hard to pin down what specifically goes wrong when something does.

So unless you have a staging environment for your desktop where you test the new version before migrating, then what is the purpose of running old versions of stuff?

Non rolling release distros for your desktop makes no sense.

It depends what you mean by inefficient. It’s very efficient if you’re optimizing for robustness and control of data.

Sure. There’s a story around somewhere of someone deleting basically all of /bin and was able to recover the live system

No, that wasn’t the question at all… And your post had no kinks in it

Fyi plaid does screen scraping to get a lot of their data. At least they did 6 years ago or so when I worked in the sector
