I fucking hate the internet for making me know what "sounding" is.

But drinking the cereal flavoured milk that's left over is one of my favourite things about eating cereal!
This is cursed af but I can't explain why
I like to listen to music or books while I work, and I have to drive a work vehicle a few times a day, and a big forklift to do my job. Both have a radio built in but no easy way to connect my phone to listen to my own stuff. I eventually found that I actually enjoy listening to the radio, especially the local news updates.
Once I realised that, I thought "oh god I'm turning into my dad"
I'm 30 and haven't liked the radio since I was around 10 (aka when I got my first CD played)

"Thank you!"

Even with federated bans, people like that will just find ways around it to continue making alts cause they have nothing better to do with their sad lives. Just like the obvious hexbear alts on different instances these days, losers gonna loser unfortunately.
Much harder to stop them without making it too difficult for real users than it is for them to just keep making alts to spread whatever flavour of bullshit they want.
Oh I agree, I play Overwatch casually and couldn't care less about my rank, in fact I exclusively play quick play even after 150 hours. But Starcraft is inherently competitive to me due to its 1v1 focus and even without caring about my rank I still find it too stressful and hard to play without a ton of time invested. When I do play it, I prefer to play the campaigns or coop. 1v1 is too time consuming even without caring about rank and only playing unranked.
Starcraft. I still love playing through the campaigns and coop, but I don't have the time or energy to keep up with the 1v1 anymore. Used to play it a ton back before Legacy of the Void, but you basically have to treat that game like a second job in order to be competitive and not get destroyed most of the time. I remember going like 3-4 days without playing back then and it'd take me 3-5 hours to get back up to my usual level of play.
It's still a lot of fun to watch pros or high level players play the game though, at least IMO.
I agree, I'm quite happy with Bazzite so far!
For now, I'm going to stick to Steam games on Linux since I still have a 2TB Windows drive for my main games. My plan is to use Bazzite to get a feel for Linux and eventually move completely over from Windows once I'm more comfortable with the OS and know how to get everything I want up and running. I'm honestly having fun with being new to an OS with more options, I haven't had to google such seemingly basic tasks for a computer since I was a kid.
I'm using the KDE version of Bazzite and I'm really liking it. It reminds me of being a kid and exploring Windows 98 for the first time, everything is new and interesting, and searching through the menus to see all the different options brings back a certain nostalgia.
I'd like to ask a few questions if anyone is willing to help me out :)
My mouse is a Logitech G502 X+ and I don't know what software to use to configure my mouse in Bazzite, what's the Linux replacement for Logitech GHub? My mouse works perfectly but I don't know what to use to customize the DPI for example.
What's the best practice for installing apps or programs outside of the built in "app store"? For example, I downloaded the Plex media server app as a .RPM file but I'm not quite sure how to install it. I already installed the Plex app through Bazzite OS' default app store, but in Windows I needed the Plex media server app to be able to serve up videos to other people as far as I know. Makes me feel dumb, but I'm used to .EXE's where it just installs itself. What do I do with a .RPM file? Or any other Linux programs downloaded from a website, like (I think?) tar.bz etc? I know how to access the files and extract them, but I'm not sure where to put the programs in general.
Thanks for your useful information btw! It's much appreciated!

I've been using a computer on an almost daily basis for over a decade now, and before that I used one whenever I had the opportunity because I've loved computers since I was a kid. I'm 30 and have carpal tunnel in my mouse hand, not bad enough to get it surgically fixed, but I wear a wrist brace pretty much 24/7 at this point to keep the pain under control.
That said I agree with your point about using whatever you're comfortable with completely, just wanted to throw my own anecdotal experience out there for others to see. Everyone's different and what's fine for you or me may not be for others.
