  • Be aware that some apps will install fine from the arch repo but some others will be better installed from flatpack (e.g. inkscape) or directly as an executable (e.g. Godot).

    On steam you may need to specify your video card if you run an AMD card using the DRI prime command. Some games will require -vulkan to use vulkan rather than game settings.

    Note: experience may vary by compositor (xorg/wayland), desktop environment, drivers, system hardware, and your willingness to dive into details.



  • Sirens of titan. Well, Vonnegut in general. His stories are fine, probably ground breaking for the time in the sense of exploration, but the characters have no depth. It’s like reading a book about npcs. Then there’s the misogyny. Women are simply livestock kept around for breeding in this one, worse than an afterthought.

    I don’t think it’s valuable to read even from a historical standpoint. Wiki synopsis would be suggested.

    The first one you learned or became fluent in. For example, it’s often English for USA people or Spanish for Spanish people, or Japanese for Japanese people

    Often also called mother tongue or primary language.

    Otherwise, it can be the one you are most comfortable with or default to.








  • You can still use cash. It’s just for electronic payments and ID verification. Though cash is exceedingly rare.

    A unified ID system just means you use the same login details for each government agency (tax office, dmv, healthcare, etc…) Instead of a different system for each. It’s also a stand in for a physical signature. It also ensures your data is consistent through the entire government as it’s the same database.

    I think it’s significantly more secure for the individual than in the US and, as far as tracking, it’s not like the US’ insecure identity verification systems make it more difficult to track you. The US makes it easier for others to steal you’re identity, and for you to get screwed because an employee misread your name on a net form they have to manually copy into their cobal database or whatever.
