Sounds like it might be more of a DE problem than a distro problem. I’d recommend trying KDE Plasma if you haven’t already.

Taught

In Steam’s settings you can add a new library folder on the larger drive. The compatdata will install to the same library folder that the games are installed on. You’d have to move the games to the new drive as well. That’s the simplest way to do it

My Dad convinced me to try it, as a way to learn more about how computers work (ie without Windows). I installed Ubuntu and didn’t like GNOME, but once I saw that all the same programs I used on Windows were still available on Linux, I knew it was worth finding the right distro. I used Linux Mint for awhile because Cinnamon DE was nice, but eventually I needed a more up to date version of something (I can’t remember what) so I installed Arch with KDE instead. I’ve used it ever since.

It’s not the ads I hate, it’s the data harvesting I hate. Static ads without trackers don’t exist on YouTube, unfortunately.

AI (more specifically, LLMs) can only replicate what’s in their training data. Skynet could work as long as we don’t feed it any information from any stories that involve an AI uprising.

Is there a difference when sharing the whole screen versus sharing only a single window?

You could use a virtual camera like the one included in OBS to share your screen with the cursor showing, but that probably won’t share desktop audio by default.

I said “should”

If it comes to the point where the government is so bad that civilians have to fight against it, then the soldiers and police officers should join them.

I do this for fun while waiting for things to load

Arch because I like getting the latest releases of packages

The open source kernel drivers will work. If you want to bother installing their proprietary drivers, I’d recommend reading the Arch Wiki, but you may need to do some things differently even though EndeavorOS is Arch-based.

From the wiki: “Most users do not need these proprietary drivers.”

3. The joy of “figuring it out” and customizing everything you want to the minutest details

Customization is my reason. I’ve got a two-monitor setup in KDE with different panels on each one. Each one is highly customized specifically to me, and the customizations can’t be done in Windows.

It’s easy if you can follow directions, hard if you don’t have directions, impossible if you don’t have directions and don’t know what you’re doing; archinstall is effortless.

I’ve had good experiences launching games from Epic on the Heroic Games Launcher. Most games that don’t have extreme anti-cheats should just work. If compatibility is an issue, you can install Linux as a dual-boot option, so you could switch to Windows for certain games.

I started with OpenShot Video Editor for it’s ease of use in being able to cut parts of a clip out. But it was very slow, and now I’d reccommend Kdenlive.
