Without knowing what game you were having issues with I can't provide much help. I would first recommend checking https://protondb.com/ to see the games status and if other people are running into issues. Most of the fixes are as simple as just switching what proton version you are using. (if someone recommends using a GloriousEggroll (GE) version of Proton then look into the app proton-up-qt, on your software center).

But I will admit many solutions on protondb are much more "involved".

As far as non-steam suggestions. I would start with heroic games launcher. I have had a very easy time with playing games through HGL, either EpicGames or GoG.

Outside of that, lutris is good. If you go to their website then there are one click installs for a bunch of games. This is mostly how I play things like battle.net games.

Then on the technical side of things is bottles. But that is the much more "build it yourself" option.

Even debian will let you download a Deb, double-click it in the file browser, and install it.

If you are just doing word processing, browsing the web, and playing video games then absolutely. Yes.

There have been gui tools available to install packages, configure networking/wifi, and manipulate files. For a long time now. Especially with the integration of Flatpak and snaps into gui-based package managers (like pop shop) it has become quite simple for any "regular", non-technical user to manage the basics and even the intermediates of any system (depending on the distro).

Where things will likely fall short is with troubleshooting. But to solve that we would need to build something like the windows troubleshooter. But with so applications owned by so many different groups it would be difficult/near impossible to write a troubleshooter to integrate them together.

Though I am also a bit of a hackerman so I probably also don't realize how much I use the terminal for normal things.

I've been using tiny media manager for this. It supports pulling information from a bunch of different providers. (there is a subscription) but for most basic use cases the free version is perfectly fine.

Tmm won't do markdown, but it will do nfo files.

This. Words are descriptive not prescriptive.

As long as the person understood what you meant,which they almost certainly did as they corrected you, then the words that you used don't really matter.

Note, this doesn't mean all words are inoffensive.

Not OP. But I'll give my feedback on why I stopped using android auto.

Let me preface this with most everything in the app is fine. Navigating around the interface is maybe a bit janky but not something that I couldn't get used to.

The main thing that pushed me away from it is the constant crashing (crash every 1-3 minutes). I understand it to be a somewhat rare issue. But through my research I have not found any way to consistently solve the issue despite finding threads that were posted years ago.

The closest I had come to a solution was to clear some app caches (like Google maps) and that would fix it for the next day or two. But it would always eventually go back to constant crashing. It just became too frustrating to deal with.

God forbid anyone uses anyone else's art as a reference. /s

The answer to your question is whether they drew the art/wrote the code themselves. Ie. Not tracing or just renaming variables.

I use Mac at work :). Most of my group uses Mac with a few using windows. There have been some people who have tried using fedora but the support for some enterprise apps is just not there. But I do get to manage around 100 RHEL systems. So I still get plenty of linux time at work.

This exactly. It feels like everything gets thrown in documents and then it just becomes one big mess. Game saves, coding projects. I've even seen some apps put their configs in Documents.

I wish more icon packs had these sort of additional icons.

I wish there were a few more default home directories like games and books. It would make me much more likely to use them overall.

You don't need to install it to try it. Many distros will let you try the os while it is booted off of the usb. Ofc this doesn't give you all the functionality and you won't be able to save data. But you will at least see the performance is better.
