I think you have gotten a lot of good answers so my 2 cents are. Install something simple like Ubuntu and try it out. Getting the answers to your questions will not give you the “feel” of using a linux system. Once you start you will begin to have more answers and a lot more questions, specifically in the areas you are interested in.

Also check the Arch wiki, it is really good for any distro because it gives a good reference for configurations.

I mean they don’t understand SW, Licenses and Git. It’s all out there now…

“Control multiplayer spin-off which the company said will give players a “unique Remedy angle” on the genre.”

You mean PvP with flying, telekinesis and other powers…

Could this be the new Quake?

I’m curious now, what’s a NZ English word that’s unique to NZ?

And yes, there is no system wide spell check, but I think windows/macos also don’t have this.

The only system I know with system wide spell check are smartphones.

Linux Mint with Mate +1

Linux in general has good language support.

Wrapper and AUR helper.

Is that you?, Crowdstrike?

Bro, install a custom kernel from the AUR and switch all your software to the git versions, just add -git at the end of each package. Do not use pacman, what are you? afraid of life?, use yay like everyone else.

^I ^use ^arch, ^btw.

Gaming: I just Steam for most games, I use Proton GE for better performance in some games

General SW: For things that are light and work with Wine, I will use just that. For SW that needs the Windows “runtime” like the Xbox Accessories SW for my Elite controller, I use a VirtualBox.

Most of my needs are covered by regular Linux apps, such as a Browser, Development environment and Media.

It’s hard to render too much massacre…

I’ve got a track for that:

Localsend is also a thing

There are open LLMs models, you can have your own very biased assistant.

XFCE or LxQT but i have a preference for XFCE if it is for normal use.

Elementary has some very clean sober themes. I fell in the tilling windows craze and ricing so I’m sporting an Arch (I use it btw) with AwesomeWM, so very minimalistic.

Oops

Apropos ich benutze Arch

Agree but in regards to the groceries I’m talking about in relation to other countries. About the gum I was thinking Chiclets.

Chewing gum probably although inflation is crazy. But in general groceries are cheap.
