In one year I have had exactly zero issues with Linux. In the same time, my brother had OS-breaking bugs happen twice from driver updates with Windows... Once from the GPU, and the other from a CPU firmware update.

You don't have to switch to Linux. That's OK. Just realize that you are simultaneously ok with making yourself a harvestable resource that Microsoft and others are milking dry.

I would think the bigger batteries would start with DDuracell

I've tried setting up a BSD VM a few times but never managed to get a desktop environment working. I'm sure it was due to user error.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but calling Trump's supporters a "basket of deplorables" is probably not the best way to get some of the more moderate, more-likely-to-be-wooed voters away from him on election day.

She thanked me, btw

I had never considered this before, but you're absolutely right

Nope, you're 100% right. Dvorak is efficient because it places high-use keys in the middle row and usually each key alternates between left and right hands. The use-case for a phone is usually single handed, or where you want one thump to be close to all the letters in a word. QWERTY is much better I think for one or two digits.

I tried it for a few hours because I thought it might be faster not flipping from QWERTY to Dvorak depending upon my device.

Turns out my muscle memory when using phones is as good as my muscle memory with keyboards.

If you have any questions I'd be happy to try and answer them. My favorite part is that it isn't subscription based. Once you own a license, it's yours. MacOS, Linux, and windows support too. There are hundreds of modules, with fantastic support for DND 5E, Pathfinder 2.5, and then Star Wars 5e.

SW5e.com represent!

Nice. I have seriously looked at this option too. For now I'm just too cheap to do it 😂

I'm way faster with Dvorak, and am 100% touch-typist only. If I look at the keyboard I'll get mixed up. My phone keyboards are QWERTY though--go figure.

 

I've been daily driving Pop!_OS for about two years. I've had to troubleshoot and look up how to solve problems here and there, but it has largely been pain free. About eight months ago I had to dual boot Windows 10 because my wife wanted to play Hogwarts and for the life of me I couldn't get Linux to stream to the client connected to the Xbox controller and TV upstairs.

Well, today she goes to boot up the game, and the lag is beyond terrible. None of the settings I try change anything, and even trying Sunshine/moonlight instead of Steam Link is only a bit better. I decided to try booting the game in Linux, and lo and behold, the game is once again liquid smooth via Steam Link client, and whatever issues I ran into 8 months ago are gone.

I'm not used to Windows being the OS I have issues with.

 

While there is some stuff I feel is just vanilla DnD 5e re-skinned, there is a lot of new content and customizability and prestige classes. There is also a GitHub repo with a FoundryVTT module that contains the same content. I've been running a campaign for the last three and a half years and highly recommend it.
