And that's what we call survivorship bias. Sure you'll be ticking along fine until some Legionella or Botulism just kills you before anyone knows it, other than maybe the doctor if you see one on time and the coroner. Then the next you online just assumes no need to wash things with soap because you just blipped out silently from existence.

There's a reason billions of humans didn't populate the earth until modern sanitation and understanding of disease.

Now sure some dirt every now and then from gardening (you still breathe some in after all) will do you good, keep your immune system busy. You're right on that. But eating carrots straight from the ground is just rolling an unnecessary gamble you don't need. You're not wrong in that too much sanitation isn't good either - but you do misunderstand a bit what that means. You don't have to wear gloves working the ground - unless you have open cuts. You don't have to soap up your carrots - but you do gotta give em a good rinse. Just dial it back a bit and you'll make it unlikely to end up in a miserable time later in life, while still getting those benefits. A castle is strong, but just takes one thing to sneak in to bring it down from the inside - best not invite too many invaders once it's already been built

Modded games too.

Linux is getting there, but it's really only great for single player games now. That's what I use it for

I mean, it exists, but it's experimental and extremely expensive

BG3 runs fine for me on Nvidia 3090 using BazziteOS.

Did you use different distros that were actually from different code bases, or was it just 6 flavors of Debian? BazziteOS is based off Fedora. I've had issues only with Debian based distros (which technically includes Ubuntu btw)

Just wondering, but why isn't it possible to just use something like the RethinkDNS app and block all internet access Nova has? That's what I've done at least. Haven't found a launcher I like as much, and don't see why a launcher would need internet access constantly. I already use RethinkDNS to block other apps too, like Gboard

Just install FydeOS then

It's essentially just ChromeOS

Doesn't get simpler than that.

That said, Ubuntu itself has been enough for my essentially computer illiterate dad. He never could use Windows but he at least learned basics on Ubuntu.

Yeah but the infotainment system can be Linux based.

Yes

I've found I prefer Fedora over debian builds for gaming, and Bazzite also includes literally everything needed for gaming of any kind already installed. Also it being immutable is really good in particular in case a game causes system issues. Bazzite also has great Steam Deck integration and desktop interoperability if needed, and can install emulators from the get go, along with many wine configurations for older Windows games.

It's also nice to have my work space divided completely from my gaming one, and a debian build is great for productivity programs like audio mixing, 3d printing, and art, since there's more stability and support vs bleeding edge like fedora.

Hence my dual boot set up (with separate ssd's).

Now I just have to get around to writing a script to clean up the grub menu, street going through making it look pretty.

I have a dual boot, mint and Bazzite. Bazzite is great for gaming
