With how trigger happy police are, the false positives would lead to more deaths than they prevent. And police would claim it's justified because the machine told them so.

If submerged land can be called continents, where's the line between what is and isn't a continent?

Helldivers 2 works on Linux by the way. It was the first game I installed on Linux and I have almost 100 hrs on it. I haven't tried the others you mentioned though.

I switched to Linux Mint a couple months ago and use Steam a lot. I've tried at least 10 games and all worked perfectly.

But I don't do competitive multiplayer. Those are more likely to have issues with anti-cheats. Although I did try Hell Let Loose and Helldivers very successfully and those are both major online titles.

Check https://protondb.com if you're worried about a specific game's compatibility. I've had silver rated games work perfectly though.

Edit: Apps - Photo editing and 3D CAD are the main areas I've struggled with on Linux. There's no good Adobe equivalent, and no good Fusion 360 equivalent. Free CAD exists, but that can gently fuck off.

Definitely not a step up. I don't think...

But what if they're riding a horse and the horse does something silly? What then?

I just dual booted Linux Mint yesterday when I was reminded of the Win 10 end of service date, and hope to keep with it as my main system.

Linux has come a long way with compatibility since I last tried it ~10 years ago. The fact that Steam games ran perfectly without an evening of configuring settings blew my mind.

I don't think bulbs use a whole lot of energy these days. A 10W LED bulb would cost $14 per year to run constantly (US pricing). An old 60W bulb would be $83 per year in comparison.

But there's probably no reasoning with someone who decorated that room.

Math:

LED bulb power = 10W

Electricity cost in US = $0.161 per kWh

Running 1 bulb 24 hrs a day = 0.24kWh

Price per day = $0.038

Price per year = $14, running 1 bulb constantly

Honestly I'm more disappointed that this isn't the first time on Lemmy that I've seen someone delete a post and then try to make a big scene about how they didn't like the responses they got and were giving up on a community.

Lemmy has so little content that your complaint post gets to be top of a community for a while, so that's nice.

You're not the main character, people are entitled to opinions, and you don't have to care or take them personally. It's the internet, there will always be someone who complains even if it's entirely unwarranted.
