I switched to Bazzite about 3 weeks ago and am amazed at how well everything "just works". Steam and Battlenet games all running. Nvidia 5070, AMD Rizen 7800x3d, recent gigabyte motherboard.

In my experience, the sharp edges are browser compatibility issues, and I've been gratefully avoiding them for years by using jQuery.

It's marketing drivel, and marketing loves the "rule of three".

One of my favourite lines is from Three men in a Boat: "George has a cousin, who is usually described in the charge-sheet as a medical student, so that he naturally has a somewhat family-physician way of putting things".

This is a fantastic book if you have difficulty sleeping! I had no idea such an interesting topic, the fundamentals of the operation of computers, could be rendered so lifeless and dull or that it would take so many words to do so. I'm reading through it now but it's taking an awful long time as I never get through more than 3 or 4 pages before it's lights out.
