Pixels of this generation can get up to $1500 USD. If that's not flagship territory, I don't know what is.

What's the comic?

I've jumped fully on the privacy train. I have like 100 different cards with different limits, each locked to a single merchant. It's so good.

Side note: if you want to run a dedicated server and play on it with a cracked version (or just an offline mode or while MS services are down) edit the server.properties file and set online-mode=false from true. (Then restart the server if it was online)

This wipes everyone's inventories if there was already progress, so have everyone put their items in a chest before doing this. If you use modded, have everyone unclaim their chunks or any other username-bound items like teleporters with permission systems.

All of this can be redone, reclaimed, re-bound after the change happens. This effectively changes your in-game identities on a server from a Microsoft one to an offline one. This also makes it possible to evade username-based bans.

After achieving the canonical ending, your protagonist wakes up in Doc's office. Something is wrong. They've been here before.

They eventually theorize they are in a simulation or dream. Some sick mother fucker is making them experience the horrors again, and it seems this omnipotent being wants them dead. New threats exist where there were none. Everything looks a bit different, sharper. When they prevail, the being gets desperate. This not of this world start appearing. Dragons, aliens, anthropomorphic Choo Choo trains. Will they survive? Is God playing games with them? Are they even real?

(TL;DR Mod your game to hell and back with no regard for canonical consistency and your protagonist is aware of the discrepancies and has to deal with them while having prior knowledge of this world and it's major plot points)

It's a meme about how draining the cmos battery bricked some PC's, I think. It's formatted like the Wikipedia sidebar summary for articles on wartime battles.

I don't have a monologue. For me, it's images, concepts, ideas, and feelings all combined to make realistic depictions of the world and my ideas in my head. I don't actually know how fast inner monologues go, if they're as fast as normal talking or what, but my thoughts happen in an instant. I can picture myself going to the grocery store, what I need, where I park, where to walk, all in like a millisecond. It's more like one single thought than several individual thoughts. And I can see and feel it and sometimes even "do" it in my head. Nothing is described with words.

you can assign independent applications > I know you can do this in windows without needing an extra sound controller it's in 'Settings>system>Sound>Volume Mixer'

Yeah, but separate physical controls are beneficial when you have full-screen apps, are busy, don't want to lose your place, or if you need to do it more frequently and quickly than the sound mixer allows.

Linux largely has this too, but in both OS's it's less convenient than reaching over and quickly pressing a button or sliding a slider in many scenarios.

Of course if you just need to edit these infrequently then that's a perfectly good solution and there's no reason to spend any money at all.

I think the Spotify application may be able to, I assume this is what OP was talking about.

Yeah that one is pricey, but you can certainly get cheap ones for a fraction of the price. Most people don't need the one I have, and smaller ones can serve the same purpose.

 

It is a Ford e-transit. Huge white empty sides. I enjoy the plainness of it, but am open to putting something interesting on the sides/back.

I will implement my favorite idea without fail.

It's for transporting my disabled mother around, but also for personal use. (I am too tall for normal cars so this will be my only vehicle)

Edit: There are so many good suggestions. My current favorites are some sort of grand fantasy mural or the mystery machine (possibly with mystery replaced with my last name that also starts with an m and has the same amount of letters), or that 90's jazz pattern.

Me at CES today (sh.itjust.works)
 
 

I am as well. It is time to play some video games and eat a piece of raw cookie dough.

 

Edit: Tumbleweed and bazzite are currently the most attractive options based on what I've learned from the comments. I will trial run those and 1 or 2 others.

I am currently on Pop OS.

I am dissatisfied with the DE/UI and I've been playing with others but half the point of this distro is it's custom UI. So I figured I would try another. I have several criteria that may narrow it down.

  1. I am going to use KDE or KDE Plasma (preferred). This is the only non-negotiable criteria.

  2. I will be gaming. This means I would like relatively up to date kernel and software. Rolling or semi-rolling releases are preferred.

2.5. I also work from this pc. This mainly entails using discord and Firefox though so no special requirements. I do have 4 different sized monitors with 3 different refresh rates that I use for work. Only one for gaming. One is vertical. I can tell I'm pushing x to its limits with that setup.

  1. I would prefer Debian-based as that is what I'm used to and because .deb packages are so common.

  2. I don't want it to be a ton of effort to set up. Pop OS worked out of the box with my Nvidia GPU and all other hardware. I am willing to put in some effort though.

  3. I have been using and very much like apt and flatpak. This is not a requirement, just an observation.

  4. Wayland is neat

  5. Active community with lots of support to search through. Pop OS has been good for this as it's Ubuntu based and has its own great community.

Ultimately I want an easy to use desktop OS that uses some sort of KDE, supports up to date packages and drivers, supports most games and isn't a pain to maintain.

Here are some contenders that fit at least some of my requirements.

KDE Neon user edition

Opensuse tumbleweed

Kubuntu

Endeavor OS

Debian

Manjaro

Bazzite

Mint Debian edition

Right now I'm leaning toward KDE Neon, Kubuntu, or Debian (whatever the rolling release version is), but the others all have their draws. I've heard the aur is great but I have come across several applications only available in website downloads of Deb packages so I'm hesitant.

I have been using pop as my first desktop distro after Windows and I've enjoyed it a lot. I barely run into anything I can't solve with some effort and headache and not a single game I can't play. I'd like to keep it that way.

Now that that's out of the way, does anyone have suggestions? Am I looking in the wrong direction? Am I asking the wrong questions? Should I just install arch, live in the terminal, and throw away my mouse? /s

Thank you all for your advice in advance.
