that's unfortunate, as I don't really have any close friends I'd say I trust or could count on for more than thoughts and prayers. oh well.

sometimes that's just how it is.

lowering my expectations

hopefully, pretending to be straight or asexual; and being able to be happy without friends, as these will be needed survival skills

Compromise, then?

Perhaps every other night you can cook from scratch, and cook as she likes on other days. Or, you could try to replicate the flavors she's looking for in your cooking. Involve her, have her try tasting some sauce you're making or whathaveyou and then try to see if you can nudge the flavors in a direction she likes.

Mint is the distro of choice for people who want to work on their computer, not work on their computer.

Like I'm glad for all the nerds who change distros as often as they change pairs of pants and enjoy fiddle-fucking around with their setup, but some of us only want a computer that just works and doesn't give us shit.

Because as we all know, being a gamer means you can't also be a fucking moron.

... Wait.

One experience with other people on Xbox Live voice chat can disprove that.

Try Oculus, 1408, and Session 9.

Everyone likes a good mindfuck horror now and then.

I've had no significant driver issues with Mint and a 2080, myself. I switched back in February, and most things -- games included -- just work. The few that didn't, were easy to fix with some searching on stackoverflow and reddit (about the only thing that site is good for now).

if an idiot like me can do it, so can you.

I usually hook my Steam Deck up to my TV via a USB hub and HDMI, and then fire something up on Plex, which I keep running on my desktop.

Bonus: Make it a wireless HDMI dongle (which I'm too cheap for but are a thing), and now using it from the couch is even more convenient.

every time I learn something new about Ohio, I like it just a little bit less, and I already fucking hate Ohio.
