Sorry for the loss OP.

Maybe not what you want to hear right now, but I'm really glad Steam cloud minimises the impact of a loss. When I had a Nintendo Switch I was terrified of losing hundreds of hours of Dead Cells or Enter the Gungeon progress. Losing a Deck is obviously a financial loss (and the emotional attachment of someone special giving you yours), but at least there isn't insult to add to the injury the way Nintendo would do.

That is beyond the capabilities of normies.

My wife would agree with this:

Media PC

And I've got Plex running on an always on NAS.

You've basically described my situation exactly. I built a PC 6 months ago for Linux. I distro-hopped for a good while and settled on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Now I've put OpenSUSE on my laptop too. I would highly recommend it.

I went for an AMD GPU and have never had any problems with it. Linux is not as painless as Lemmy would have you believe though. Be prepared to learn some hard lessons and keep your data physically disconnected from the PC while you do it.

You've asked about WiFi drivers further down....on my PC, the only distros that had the correct WiFi drivers out of the box were EndeavourOS and ZorinOS. The rest all needed wired LAN to get them going.

It is more about having a place to dump your child for the day. Especially true since no family can get by without dual incomes and extended social support has broken down completely.

This post has made me realise my oversight. I had not added "Rowling" to my Lemmy keyword filter.

Go for 100%...I know you can do it.

By the time I actually buy a song, I've been listening to it repeatedly at least 10 to 20 times. At that point I'm buying it to put in my offline library and the cost is worth it immediately. The £1 per song price hasn't changed in a very long time. My music taste is very narrow, so I rarely find songs I like anyway. My entire music library amassed over my lifetime is 780 tracks currently (after removing some I lost interest in previously). So I definitely get my money's with out of my music.

Lemmy is another form of social media, and bullshit that happens on social media will come here as more people come here. Your life will be much better if you make full use of blocklists and filtering.

I just watched A Quiet Place Day One last night, and now this pops up on my feed. Is Lemmy tracking my activity?

I have no idea man. My knowledge extends as far as that video. After watching "The Big Short", I've learned that there are a lot of ways that finance bros play the economy in ways that we cannot comprehend.
