Will it work X? xd

These days it's mainly snap and how you can type apt install and the system will do snap install instead, for firefox for example.

in the span of a single month is next to zero

It's much higher than zero, if let's say your ssd goes kaput & you try moving everything at once to a new one. That action by itself comes with risk, especially if the usb stick is very large & manufactured after covid. There is also the bit rot issue, usb sticks are useless as backup solutions for any use case, it's just a false sense of security.

I believe i can self-host a matrix client but no idea how well it will work with people currently having notifications by discord bot on their phone

In my opinion discord is not yet enshittified enough for these problems to be easily solved. Give it a couple more years, if matrix gains just a bit more traction, the scaffolding to do stuff like that will be worked out.

So do I need both hands to count all the gold atoms? ^

I would argue that using an image based system with flatpak is one of the best ways for newbies to transition to Linux. Whether that's SteamOS, Bazzite, Bluefin or Aurora, that doesn't matter all that much.

Shareholders want quick profits & they don't care if the service shuts down in 10 years, or becomes largely unusable in 3-5.

Read the arch wiki if you are in doubt, go through manual install once for experience, follow the arch wiki guide for that too.

Arch wiki is life, YT guides are basically useless for this.

This is especially funny in South Korea. Go to a Casino and burn $2000 and you may even get jail time, but gatcha is A ok.

Improvements to the UI & lossless editing are nice, 20 years too late, but nice. Outside of that we are still 19 years behind PS, feature parity is impossible, anywhere near the same productivity is impossible :/

Feels like the foss community is a bit unlucky with gimp, there are so many truly great productivity tools outside of this one area.

Celeste has to be 1. right?
