My cherry blues sat in the closet: Sad clicky sounds…
(It was described to me as a storm of angry nerds after someone insulted Arch btw. I run linears now.)

It feels like every corporate entity is out to sabotage themselves these days…
TBF I don’t trust IGN anyway, they have too much finanicial incentive to do as they’re told. Maybe we need like a megathread of trustworthy reviewers.
I’d pretend I didn’t know about Pokemon unless asked because my image of Pokemon is very different to their new eyes. Don’t wanna ruin it for them, you know?
While Gnome can be shaped into something Windowslike with extensions ‘Arcmenu’ and ‘Dash to Panel’, for another user I’d suggest just using a DE that already works like that. Best choices IMO are Cinnamon or KDE.
Since you already want to use a Ubuntu desktop, I’ll stick to suggesting Ubuntu flavours. KDE on Ubuntu, you’ll want Kubuntu. For Cinnamon, there is a Ubuntu Cinnamon flavour.
KDE is somewhat more modern-feeling than Cinnamon but also uses more resources. If your GF’s system is a bit weak, maybe go for Cinnamon. Cinnamon is also a bit retro in it’s design, so it might be more comfortable for people used to older Windows versions.
I recommend downloading a live installer for both, showing her them and letting her pick the one she likes the most. (On that note, I hope you got her permission to do this…)
Oh yes. Salt and Pepper chicken without the window open. Once and only once. Soon as the spice went in, I realised my mistake. The kitchen was unbearable for the whole night.

Thank you internet person, you have changed my life forever.
I think… Gran Turismo?? I am a big fan of racing but the handling of TOCA Touring Car Championship never agreed with me despite my love for 90’s BTCC. I had a better time with the more sensible handling of GT1.
I have fond memories of a yellow Impreza. I couldn’t drive the RWD cars back then. I also remember me trying to use a racing wheel, I was equally bad at it but at least I was having fun!
Sorry if there’s a lot of technical terms.
My anecdotal experience is that Skyrim modding under Linux worked surprisingly well. Despite that I think I would still say “YMMV”. I have it running under Lutris-GE-Proton8-13.
I used the GOG release because having local access to the installer is a major win. Note that even if you don’t install the AE upgrade it’s the same version number, 1.6.659 so bear this in mind when installing SKSE64 and mods. I think there’s a specific release of SKSE64 for GOG. Many mods label that version as AE only, which isn’t true of the GOG release.
I chose to install in Lutris because of how easy it is to manipulate prefixes. I had issues with the automated scripts, which I expected. So I did it myself.
I downloaded Skyrim from GOG and installed Skyrim using the “Install a Windows game from media” option, then run once from the launcher to ensure everything was initialised before modding.
Inside this prefix I installed MO2 using “Run EXE inside WINE prefix”.
I chose that mod manager because I used it on Windows and it worked just fine. I don’t know a lot about Vortex. There’s a DLL to add support for Epic and GOG installs of Skyrim. I duplicated the Skyrim SE runner and changed the target to ModOrganizer dot exe. There’s a UI bug that makes reordering mods act weird, just click another mod entry if it gets stuck.
The Nemesis issue I had, which appears to be a Linux/WINE problem - the solution given (Extract it to the Data folder then run the executable from MO2 with VFS) worked for me.
TBH my modlist is pretty tame compared to most that I’ve come across so I didn’t expect many problems. LOOT worked as expected so I just let LOOT handle my load order.
There’s probably more to it but this is what I remember. Happy modding!
Valve claims it’s monthly but my previous survey was October last year so I doubt that. I don’t believe it was related to the article in the OP. They seem to just randomly pop up after an update. A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.
I did my first Linux Steam hardware survey yesterday so I’m doing my part!
‘Smashing!’
Nigel looks adorable. Sending virtual headscratches his way.
There’s this aptly-named utility that I’m currently using:

I do think GUI is the way to go for “typical” usage, but if you wanted to set up a faster way to run a command you use often, you would create an alias to handle a complex command or something you do often.
For example, I have ‘updateall’ as my command to run ‘sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && flatpak update’. Why not GUI for this? I like to see what’s going on during my updates. It’s also kind of satisfying for some reason.
Anyway, I suspect your problem then would end up being not running a syntax, assuming it even exists, but the correct syntax, which I often encounter, but that’s what ‘history | grep’ is for.
Honestly, I don’t really set an age limit. I won’t judge people who are out for fun. I’ve been there, there’s not much to do around where I live.
That being said though… Regardless of your age, if you costume up, you’re likely to get more candy from me. (I’ll also offer candy to parents and older siblings who aren’t taking part because I’m cool like that. Just don’t stick chocolate bars in your pockets LMAO)
