If you have the budget Siemens NX CAD CAM FEA runs on Linux (Redhat and SUSE, also works on OpenSUSE). However the GUI version is NX 12 or prior releases, newer versions are headless...maybe that will change with Linux Desktop gaining percentage steadily

I was watching a Netflix documtary about killers, the guy said he was on drugs by age 9...so pretty sure that messed up his life before the murder. It is debatable on if surroundings or self choices are why you try drugs I guess.

Ours was exactly that, the oulet and inlet pipes in the tank corroded badly. Cold pressure fine, hot pressure was flow restricted

A few for different use cases. NixOS on my wife's 14 year old laptop because it proved to handle the hardware the best, and she struggles with change so if that system dies the NixOS configuration can be redeployed identical to how she had it with no additional effort.

Debian on my old IOmega NAS.

OpenSUSE on my personal PC and Work computer, since it supports my proprietary CAD software, and nVidia releases a driver specifically for SUSE/OpenSUSE use.

Steam for your PC will have a large library of free games you can try, and also paid games. If you like board or card games there is an application called table top simulator. This opens up access to traditional board games people have converted to PC--when you can't find it as a standalone game. Also a suggestion for standalone games if you are into cards:

  • Wingspan. It has a steep learning curve but hours of fun once you learn it.

  • Dominion. If you like this genre of game it can be a lot of fun.

  • Catan. if you have played Catan board game and enjoy it, you can also play online for free https://catanuniverse.com/en/game/

Some of thaose restrictions get stupid. We had a client ship us their hardware and they included Laser Mouse on the manifest. The US border controls would not allow delivery due to a Laser being included LOL. Had they just entered it as a Mouse the package would have been delivered.

I meant the USB power coming from dock to charge port on laptop. If you mean USB (thunderbolt) out for display then it migtht not be bidirectional for power. My HP has a USB-C thunderbolt but the power cord has the USBC and barrel power in one plug since the USBC can't charge the laptop.

USB Cable connection, power failing? Is drive set to power down on idle and then falling off the radar?

WSL is fine for doing ssh type stuff or simple things but it is wonky for full distro use experience.
