I would definitely pay for the game Concord, just for its brand.

If the sub title is Sony Flight Simulator

At least 90% of the memes and jokes are unrelated to the game, just no brain copy paste. That’s really annoying.

I like game-related memes, but they’re really hard to find now

KDE Connect: https://kdeconnect.kde.org/

I also use Resilio Sync. It's not open source software, but it's self-hosted https://www.resilio.com/

There are also open source sync services, like nextcloud or syncthing

Well, this is my first time hearing Betterbird

After reading their feature table https://www.betterbird.eu/#featuretable I think they have a really laudable goal.

I'd suggest to check the feature table first. If there is anything you concern, you pick Betterbird. Otherwise, you can choose one randomly :)

This is annoying, while there are a few things we can do

  1. Report this issue at https://webcompat.com/
  2. Change UA to trick this website https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/
  3. Best choice, change another store :)

Their DNS was down. I tried to ping 67.71.255.204 and it was not connectable. I also tried some ping tools, showing that this IP was not accessible from all over the world.

Some performance-extensive games may also work better on PS5. As OP doesn't plan to build a gaming PC, I think a PS5 could improve the experience of lots of new games.

"just browse the internet" doesn't indicate that you don't need a powerful computer in 2023. Modern browsers are really heavy - and rendering websites are much more complex now.

Unless you're really frugal about your PC budget, I think it's definitely "to-go" for 32G

I’m a bit baffled that some people still use HDDs considering how cheap SSDs have gotten. You can get a 2TB M.2 for around $100. If you’ve got the specs for new games, there’s no excuse.

I don't know why you got some downvotes. Buying an SSD to store the latest games is much more cheaper than buying a GPU. If one already has a powerful GPU, I don't know why they consider an SSD "not affordable"

I'm also mounting them into /home/user/data while I don't think hard-coding the user name in the mountpoint is a good idea. Besides, it needs the assumption that I'm the only "human-user" of this computer.

I may also mount them at /opt/data, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea

I had been using WSL2 for about one year. The experience was terrible compared to a Linux host. (Sadly I can't change the system on my work laptop). However, it was much better than Cygwin, msys2 and powershell - based on my experience.

If your host OS is windows and you're interested in Linux, I think WSL2 is a good way to have a try

  • Find an open-source software that you're interested in, but your main distro doesn't provide it in the official repo. Be a packager for this software.
  • Open your distro's wiki, rewrite (or contribute, if already good enough) a page or section.
  • Try the bleeding-edge version (or very-early testing) of your favourite distro, and submit some test results, regarding to your hardware.

IMHO these tasks are interesting, could learn a lot from these tasks, and other linux users could benefit from these work
