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
Also: I think rpm-ostree only supports rpm-based packages, tho; right?
Can I install .deb software too?
I don't think rpm-ostree could support .deb softwares, just like dnf/yum can't support deb packages.
Can you share your use case for trying to install a deb package in Fedora? I'm just curious.
And is there any kind of system-as-a-config-file kind of solution available like in NixOS or blendOS?
Good question. I only have a few computers, so I had never considered about it.
While I’ve looked into Fedora Silverblue, that distro is limited to only install Flatpaks, which is fine for “apps”, but seems to be more of a problem with managing system- and CLI tools.
No. Your understanding to Fedora Silverblue is wrong. I can just run rpm-ostree install package.name in Silverblue, like other Fedora spins. The small disadvantage is that I need to reboot to apply this update. (re-construct)
but doesn’t that result in new A/B snapshots, or something like that?
Well, you can call it snapshots, but there is no need to think about it. In most cases, the system points to the newest snapshot (deployment 0). If a rollback is needed, I can pin to the older deployments. When a major change is to be applied (Like bump Fedora version), I'd manually mark the current deployment as dont-auto-delete.
Sure, but I’d like to have a more seamless experience, i.e. not having to open/start any “containers” or something like that.
I never used toolbox in my Fedora Silverblue system. I feel that I can't tell the difference between using Silverblue and the default Fedora spin
Setting up a joint account is super easy at EQ. It made me a bit lazy to move my emergency saving from EQ to WS
This sounds interesting. Please correct me if I'm wrong: If you deposit your extra money into this account, you can save 5.15% mortgage rate, which is reducing your interest cost.
If you deposit the money in an HISA, you earn 5.15% interest, and you need to pay income tax for the interest.
Assuming your income is 80k, your marginal income rate is 29% (https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tax-resources/ontario-income-tax-calculator.jsp tells me), so saving 5.15% interest means 7.25% pre-tax interest income.
My 2 cents about credit cards:
I don't like most Ontario CU's credit card options. They're just a wrapper of product of collabriafinancial
For example https://www.collabriacreditcards.ca/affiliate_libro/personal-cards
Different CUs provide exactly the same product. Same annual fee, same benefit, same cash back rate. I don't suggest spending too much time finding a credit card program from the CUs

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
