But the plant it came from is.

Christians are also saying that the spliced plant is the same as the donor plant, but the donor plant isn’t different retroactively, and they recognize the donor plant as well.

In the same way that a splice off of a plant isn’t the same plant… The plant it was spliced off of is the same plant, though.

Isn’t it missing 6?

Maybe that works for internal and business communications, but if it is communication externally with clients there are a lot of people that just don’t answer their phone. Sometimes it is important stuff, and sometimes there are followup questions.

“XYZ is no longer available. Would you like ABC instead?
How many of ABC would you like?”

Try uninstalling Steam (or keeping track of which one was already installed), and trying one of these methods. It was over a year ago I last did this, so I don’t 100% remember which version I ended up using but believe it was the Flatpak version that worked best.

For graphics drivers updating, MintOS has a GUI interface for managing drivers which is actually pretty nice. Try searching for Driver Manager in your system utilities. Other than that, you can manually download official AMD drivers from them directly here. I’d recommend looking into that process for Linux a little more before going that route, as there are a few CLI commands you’ll have to use.

As for updating anything, yes it will mostly be done the same way you installed in the first place if you used the CLI. Try the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Which version of Steam did you install? I think that’s a quirky one where the Flatpak version works better in some cases, but check out the native if you’re already running the Flatpak version (there are pros and cons to each).

9070 XT is new enough that driver issues aren’t surprising. Periodically check in for updates drivers, more than you would usually.

I recently played through Cyberpunk without any compatibility layers and it worked flawlessly, and I’ve played Hitman:WoA (I know a different game/version, but closest I had) using only the Proton compatibility. (It runs native, but has some menu issues.)

I bring these up because I was running into similar issues as yours at first when I switched to Linux, and it was all caused by the Steam version I had installed. I switched that, and everything else fell into place.

Best of luck!

In addition to this, non-competative online games generally are safer. Look into the individual games you’re interested in, but something like WoW or FFXIV should still work fine, Last Epoch or PoE2 work.

Stuff like Lethal Company (Platinum) or Rust (Bronze) are more case by case, depending on the anticheat they use, and even then it’s often a matter of whether the developers include support or not.

Space Marine 2 uses an anticheat, but they have support enabled for Linux (though they removed it in one of the patches, before reimplementing it).

(Also a slight pet peeve to OP, it’s “right off the bat”)

I knew it, I’m surrounded by Assholes

I know it’s green text, but assuming they called the suicide hotline before as well they must have done their job too

They don’t comment “AI slop” as a shorthand for “I’m so clever, I saw this is AI”.

They comment it as explicit, negative feedback to the poster. Though you can still be annoyed by it.

“here are some ways you can verify to those doubting you, with proof, that this is a real issue you’re going through”

“I can’t do those things and yikes”

Did you make this post just to complain, or are you looking for a solution? And the apartment might be under your parent’s name, but what’s stopping you from talking to management yourself? People are legitimately trying to help you, but everything you say makes it harder and harder for people to take you seriously.

It isn’t the “quality” of the piece that makes it more valuable, but the intrinsic quality of being the original. An exact, molecularly identical copy might make that messy, in that you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between them, but the true original is still the one with the value.

If you’re searching online for how to fix the problem… Couldn’t you also search online on how to find the crash logs? I fully get sometimes not having enough knowledge in a subject to even know where to begin searching, but “well, the first result wasn’t helpful, guess I’ll stop looking for an answer” and “it says to check XYZ, but I don’t know what that is. Too bad I don’t have a way to search for what things are” aren’t exactly difficult hurtles to overcome.

I 100% would not pair my phone to a public toilet just to flush it

Korean BBQ places are meant as the experience and the prep of the food beforehand. You don’t just go to one because “I want some lunch”, you go for the social aspect with a group, like going out to a bar vs drinking beer at home.

Now, that isn’t for everyone, and I get that. But it’s different than just a typical restaurante.

Windows doesn’t even cover everything you just said. The number of times Windows 10 broke my Bluetooth devices and I had to much around in registry to remove the device profile just to try to repair the device, is part of the reason I switched to Linux in the first place.

Yes, many distros need a little refining and smoothing for the general public, but only because people are so used to dealing with bullshit troubleshooting on Windows that they don’t see it as bullshit anymore.

Invest in a cheap audio recorder and leave it running when you notice them acting up. Or, if they do it in response to you making noise, intentionally make some (mundane, reasonable) noise and catch the response.

If the landlord wouldn’t believe it when you tell them the tenants are acting obnoxiously, then there’s no way to phrase that differently to make them take it seriously without giving them some evidence of it.

I’ve switched over to mostly wireless charging, but have to say I’m not completely convinced of it yet. I switched phones in part because my old phone’s battery started having issues and the charging port became loose. I want to prevent that happening on my new phone for as long as I can, so I’m using wireless charging for the most part.

Though wired charging is still so much faster and more efficient. If I really need a charge, or I’m in a hurry, I plug the phone in to charge. I just try to be in the habit of setting my phone on the charging pad when I get home from work.
