  • Consider your library: most games will be able to run fine on Linux. However, if you predominantly play online multiplayer games which require anticheat you should check compatibility on ProtonDB.

    Second, consider your hardware: if your GPU is AMD you’re good to go. Nvidia might have issues (not sure if this has been resolved since I last had to look into it).

    Finally, choose a distro: I’d recommend Ubuntu or anything Ubuntu-based. There’s a lot of mixed answers in the Linux community and definitely a ton of hate for Ubuntu. However, as someone who has been running Linux for nearly a decade at this point, there are a few key points:

    1. Ubuntu is debian based, so it’s extremely stable(but not as slow to update)

    2. Ubuntu is very beginner friendly, and you won’t need to touch the terminal if you don’t want to

    3. Everyone hates on snaps, but for you I don’t think you’ll run into an issue with it.

    Personally, I steer towards debian based distros for my devices as well because I’d rather spend time messing with the software I’m running or other things NOT debugging why my config is suddenly shitting the bed





  • No, having certain skintones doesn’t magically make you immune to skin cancer, wear your fucking sunscreen.

    Complete protection? Certainly not, but melanin does provide some protection from UV radiation. Still important to wear sunscreen because if a melanated individual where to get skin cancer it usually has a higher mortality rate because they’re often caught late.

    Epidemiological data strongly support the photoprotective role of melanin as there exists an inverse correlation between skin pigmentation and the incidence of sun-induced skin cancers (1) and subjects with White skin are approximately 70 times more likely to develop skin cancer than subjects with Black skin (67). The shielding effect of melanin, especially eumelanin, is achieved by its ability to serve as a physical barrier that scatters UVR, and as an absorbent filter that reduces the penetration of UV through the epidermis (68). The efficacy of melanin as a sunscreen was assumed to be about 1.5-2.0 sun protective factors (SPF);
