The first domino is probable gaben working at microsoft honestly

Steam hasn't (afaik) revoked access from a game that someone already owns, and DRM on steam is entirely optional, even if you use the steamworks sdk. (source: I am a developer making a game using the steamworks sdk that can run without steam open or installed)

The Mint upgrade tool got flatpak support so I don't even use the terminal to update anymore.

You posted something that's bad practice (for many reasons, including security). Like, nobody cared about your software habits until you posted them publically with no prompting. probably so you could act smug after getting downvoted.

Some build advice:

• Be safe - don't wear socks, stand on a hard floor if possible, ground yourself if you have a wrist strap for that, and discharge any static by touching metal and/or the case before touching any components. And no matter what, DO NOT open the power supply, and definitely don't touch anything in it!
• The huge motherboard connector probably requires more force than comfortable.
• Watch through at least one build guide before starting. That way you know the process.

Hope that helps, and don't let it scare you away - it's really fun to do and if you're careful, chances are nothing major will go wrong.

Edit: just saw the other comment. Yeah this looks like a HDD. If so dismiss everything I said below.

How long have you had that ssd? SSDs have a limited number of read/writes and you could be approaching the limit.

It could still last a while though. Just keep backing up your stuff and if it starts acting slow or not working properly, you know its time to get a new drive.

Capaldi's era is definitely a bit more on the serious side. Jodie's era is unfortunately not very well made as you've probably heard, a lot of early episodes take themselves too seriously, and often try to make a point but completely miss the mark.

You'll probably like the new season with Gatwa though, a lot of it is very campy (sometimes to a fault IMO), with some amazing more grounded episodes mixed in.

You can mostly skip to the new season. The only thing you need to know is:

I like rice but kind of like how I like bread. It's carbs that you put with other stuff give it more substance. On its own it can be OK (since its carbs) but pretty bland.

Csgo and 2 have a "trust" system to keep track of player behavior and put you in games with others of similar trust value. So if you get reported often or have a history of bad behavior, you're more likely to be put in games with other bad actors, and vice versa. Idk how effective it is though.

Honestly there isn't a great solution, which is kind of why I avoid competitive multiplayer games. Even kernel level anticheats can be circumvented.

The nice thing about vac is that theres pretty much no false positives. And valve will occasionally update it, catching a ton of cheaters off guard and getting them banned.

Gdscript let's you do static typing, so "var a : int" ensures that a is an integer. This can help prevent bugs and bad code, and even speeds up the interpreter since it can make some assumptions.

So until now, you couldn't do that with dictionaries, they always allowed any type as a key or value. This adds that functionality so dictionaries can be used with stricter rules, preventing bugs and making them faster.

Dont forget cs2, plus the short (but very fun) Aperture Desk Job)

It depends on how you install stuff. Games on Steam or downloaded from online from places like itch.io can be put on any drive without issue.

In terms of software though, native packages (deb, rpm) are gonna want to put files in various system folders, so it's pretty much impossible to get those off your os drive.

Other packaging solutions can help with this though. Appimages can be put anywhere, nix let's you install to another drive, same with flatpak.

And if you're savvy, you could use docker to install system packages on other drives, although I wouldn't recommend it.
