For a lot of what I do, its the only way to do it.

For everything else, there's MasterCard.

Pretty sure I did with mplayer and/or feh but it was years ago

Something recently broke the client and now it says invalid credentials all the time. I gave up with the client and just downloaded the openvpn files and use those.

Torrenting works..

Sign up to my onlyfans and I'll hack together a nice Linux client for ProtonVPN and Drive.

I think this is entirely the reason..

Can you remove the GPU and use onboard?

It is mentioning gpu in the errors, so it would be the first thing I would try, to see if the errors change, because I have no idea what's going on here

My DE is Gnome which uses a bit. Haven't really looked into it further, because I still have 62GB of ram free after startx. Haven't maxed it out yet.

After boot, I'm using 2GB. I haven't noticed Linux doing the ram-hog thing like Windows at all. But Firefox is currently using 8GB.

Just restarted Firefox and it's using 2.5GB now. I think it stores a lot in ram from video.

Really?

It's sarcasm. I upvoted them because I would have said something similar to highlight the absurdity of any argument against defederating with Threads.

I haven't actually touched selinux at all.. It's not 'officially supported' in Arch yet, although there are compatible packages available. I only recently discovered PAM which I have yet to learn too.

To break from the trend (because I recommend Mint as well),

Check out the options on distrowatch.com, test out any live distros you can. When you have some understanding of GRUB then dual boot, and then triple.

Inevitably, you're going to end up using Arch because it's so easily managed and you get to choose each component. But it's better if you have experience with the different components first. I completely missed out on learning RPM (package manager), I went from Mint (apt) to Arch (pacman). I did resurrect a lot of old laptops and desktops with various different distros though, and I learned Gnome and xfce, LXDE, MATE, and i3, xmonad..

There's a lot to learn but it's all fun, and it's all different. When you go to a tiling window manager, you'll understand why Windows adopted (albeit shittily) tiling in it's latest version.
