That's an excellent historical analogy — too bad you've misunderstood it. Germany was not dissolved after WW2, and its population was not thrown to the wolves. We only replaced their government. I agree that Likud needs to go (ideally to the Hague) but the people here wanting to wipe the country from the map are dangerous lunatics.

So have Muslims and Christians. Doesn’t give them the right to kill all the other people and take their land.

So your solution is to dissolve the state of Israel and leave the Jews there at the mercy of neighbours who would take their land and kill them on sight? Big brain time

The history of Israel's formation is not relevant to today's discussion. Most countries were founded on colonialism and war and oppression; it doesn't mean the solution is "well actually let's send everyone packing"

I've never used Mint for gaming, but if you'll be running Windows games I'd definitely look at something like Bazzite, EndeavourOS, or even PopOS. They use more up-to-date kernels and will reduce the odds of your Windows games not working. I'd probably try Bazzite first; PopOS is great but has a huge overhaul coming down the pipeline, and EndeavourOS is somewhat dependent on the terminal and may not be the best first distro to learn with.

Can you rephrase this question? I have no idea what you're asking.

Thanks for the explanation, person who believes Jews are not native to Israel:

You do not get to decide whether a colony is a country. The natives do.

Definitely not a ragingly anti-Semitic opinion there, nope! Edit: same for the downvoters too. You all need to take a step back and re-examine your views. Jews have lived there for 3000 years.

I agree, but not a Palestine that occupies 100% of Israel.

Also denial of the existence of israel is now forbidden in Germany and on Meta platforms. Free speech btw.

Maybe it's just me, but calling for the eradication of a country is bad (controversial take, I know)

Ah then if the games are Linux-native you'll be fine. The reason for a more "cutting-edge" distro is if you need to run Windows games, which will require something like Lutris to do, and that benefits from a newer kernel, among other things.

If it were solely as a HTPC I'd say something Debian-based, but if you'll be gaming on it you're probably better off with something more up-to-date like Bazzite (or EndeavourOS, but that may be a bit too demanding in terms of regular updates)

The desktop app (Electron) works well FWIW

This requires both sites to cooperate. But also see “firstly” as it won’t allow that third party access to, say, your authentication information.

Nobody here said it would let them see your authentication details, so I'm not sure why you're so vigorously fighting that straw man. Third-party cookies absolutely let them know which other sites you've visited. That's their main purpose.
