These days I usually start games on hard mode or higher. But i remember that was a huge mistake with Nier Automata. Its not a problem on NG+, but without chips, the first play though of the intro is impossible on harder difficulties. After hours of trying to get through the flight, I finally gave in and lowered the difficulty until the first save.

She was unable to shoot if she needed to change position to get a better angle, couldn't shoot at anyone indoors, and needed 2 shots if they were wearing a helmet.

Meanwhile D.D. could also sense enemies in an area, and take out anyone instantly with the knife regardless of amount of armor. And stun knife if you wanted to capture them.

Only thing Quiet was better at was a quick shot to avoid alert if you get spotted. That and fan service of course.

Borgmatic also uses yaml and I'm pretty sure most package managers have Borg as a dependency for borgmatic. So if you just install borgmatic and forget about Borg, it isn't seen as an extra tool.

What I've usually seen is that the VPS does TLS termination and then comms between the VPS and the LAN are sent http, but still secure due to traveling through the VPN. This is the easiest way if you don't require full e2ee and trust your LAN

Final Fantasy XI is still a beautiful game and is self hostable, but as with most MMORPGs, you need lots of people to get the full experience. Luckily if you're hosting your own, you can always mod settings to make yourself lvl 99, turn off enemy AI, teleport anywhere, or whatever.

Is also storing your gpg keys in KPXC unsuitable for your purposes?

Why do you have to mark cards manually? Anki's algorithm already reschedules cards based on what you're struggling with. Additionally the card browser has an ease filter that you can sort by.

How is the quiz you want different than what Anki already provides? Is it that instead of providing the answer from memory, you want to be provided a list of choices? I'd argue if you're studying, it is better to do it the "hard" way by just knowing the answer, and then acing the test since its the easier multiple choice format. When I did Net+ and then Sec+, most of my questions were formatted this way, but I also manually added the multiple choice questions that were in my study book. For that I listed all the choices in the question field, then just the question and answer in the answer field.

Lastly, this isn't really a Linux question though, as Anki is cross-platform. You may get more response on Anki's forums.

I use ckb-next to make my RGB keyboard work on Linux. Maybe you can find some ideas by looking into that project

My LineageOS phone already has a "share WiFi" feature that displays a QR code as well as the SSID and passcode I thought this was standard on all modern phones

So guests use their phone data to access a publicly available list of WiFi credentials and then use that to connect to your home network????

How do OS updates work in Linux? Is there a "Linux Update" program like what Windows has?

This is known as a package manager. The package manager (along with some default settings and preinstalled packages) is what makes each Linux distro different. For instance, Debian uses apt, Arch uses pacman, Gentoo uses emerge.

Each package manager uses a different way to upgrade software. For instance apt update refreshes the global list of available software and versions and apt upgrade finds differences between that list and what you have installed, and upgrades as needed.

There also snaps and flatpacks, but I don't support the use of those.

How does digital security work on Linux? Is it more vulnerable due to being open source? Is there integrated antivirus software, or will I have to source that myself?

Yes and no. Open source allows attackers to find vulnerability in code, but also means more eyes are on that same code and able to fix those vulnerabilities.

Although permissions can largely be ignored on Windows, its critical to Linux. Its a little much to explain here, but a standard install is fairly secure because of permissions. The important thing to remember is to harden the root account (no remote login) and be very careful what you execute with the sudo command.

Many people [incorrectly] don't use AV because historically Linux hasn't been much of a target due to low adoption. The trifecta of software I use are ufw as a system-level firewall, fail2ban to block an attacker who tries to bruteforce entry and repeatedly fails, and ClamAV for AV.

Are GPU drivers reliable on Linux?

Yup

And also, what distro might be best for me?

I think Mint is currently the recommended distro for new users. It used to be Ubuntu, but canonical has been doing some very anti-community things lately.

Manager knew it was a pro and wanted some cash to keep his mouth shut
