Yeah that's a no-go on Linux unfortunately. Sort of a tell that all of Tim Epic's bluster about open standards, open app stores, is just him being mad that he has to tithe to Apple, Sony, Google, etc.

his original trauma was being made fun of on Something Awful and I suspect that forever ties him to that time

you don't get to specialization, especially with a focus on the US, without covering a lot more general education. What I'm describing is undergrad stuff, or even high school stuff (most likely in an AP class). Not graduate-level

Does she play anything that needs Windows-only anticheat? Maybe the Steam Machine will do it for her. You could preview that on a Steam Deck out of the box, or by installing Bazzite or ChimeraOS on a (AMD, preferably) PC right now. Very much a console-style setup

I already have to worry about what happens to my game licenses when one overweight old guy who spends all his time at sea croaks, I don’t need more tied to that one outcome

Steam actually is pretty robust, has its own mobile app focused on communication and everything, but as this dude says… that’s too many eggs in one basket, fuck that

A Mumble + IRC app that uses both in parallel in a Discord-like format would do the trick

The competition is Slack, unfortunately. This is one area where there are open source alternatives that do the voice or the text side of Discord better, but none do both at once.
Looking at alternatives in case things go belly-up but there just really isn't solid competition. People just refused to give anything else a shot and now most of it's dead.

They should figure out how to domesticate coyotes. I want a canine with the aloof yet rewarding attitudes of a cat

It's a lot more interesting than how the spiritual successor series, Halo, treated AIs. They kept the concept of "rampancy," when AIs decay into an incoherent state, but treated it more like your girlfriend/wife being doomed to die rather than a horrific and random thing

Rather than becoming evil because they want to replace humanity, that setting's AIs are simply unmoored from human needs, with no real end goal

They portray AI as always breaking down into something like digital schizophrenia, yet these AI agents keep getting used no matter how many times it leads to catastrophe

The Marathon games are a rare exception. They portray AI not as too smart, but as taking on so much information at once that they aren't useful for anything but arbitrary nonsense that leads to a lot of people dying
Scifi authors thought AI would kill us by being too smart, but because we live in the strangest timeline AI is going to kill us all by using all of our water to manifest a solution to a nonexistent problem it hallucinated
When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured”

maybe you, personally, do not know it because you didn't take any courses like that or didn't do that sort of reading on your own. but it is not obscure in any rigorous study of history. And the person peddling this is a history grad

considering the colonists betrayed nearly every single treaty with indigenous peoples, I don't have much faith in the British upholding theirs in this instance and wouldn't even imply such a perspective. The colonists had that culture of betrayal for a reason
