Nah. The Impreza doesn’t even have a weird roller top for its cargo bed, let alone a fragile and poorly-designed one. No way it could break as stupidly as the Cybertruck managed.

things that any AWD vehicle can do.

Not any AWD; you probably want high ground clearance too.

I wouldn’t go fording streams in a Subaru Impreza, for instance.

Which is only possible for those who can afford to be, because their privilege insulates them from the consequences.

I admit I used to think that, mainly because I picked up on the conservative persona before realizing it was satire and immediately stopped watching.

Ironically, that movie is French.

“I’m not political” is an expression of privilege. It disingenuously pretends to be ideologically neutral, but it’s not.

More like a tool for inserting a tire plug in an automobile tire, maybe, but it’s not quite the right shape for that either. (Or at least, if it is that, it’s a really cheap one because usually they’re made of metal.)

Doc Brown wasn’t kidding; that’s some serious shit!

You’re the one making it personal and lying about my motivations. Regardless of what you think of the merits of my arguments about the actual topic, everyone can see that you’re being an uncivil asshole.

“OOXML” is literally just an XML serialization of MS Office internal data structures that Microsoft bribed the standards body to push through.

Either the person is lying, because MS Office claims compatibility with OpenDocument files, or it isn’t actually compatible and Microsoft itself is lying.

Way to ignore the BIGGEST point in my comment to hyper focus on a secondary point just for ego.

Fuck off with that. I am only participating in this conversation solely because I’m sick and tired of seeing influencers like Other Linus flounder and damage the reputation of Linux because they keep taking trendy bad advice spouted by people like you.

This is your key disconnect. You see the OS as an experience. Most people don’t. They see it as a tool to get want they want.

🙄

Quit reaching, you’re only damaging your credibility even further.

Also, if you’re directing the average joe to use the terminal, it’s too hard. Seriously.

Okay, I admit, that’s one flaw (out of many) with Kubuntu: there are two different entries for Steam in DIscover (the graphical software installer interface) because of Canonical’s obsession with Snaps, so that’s why I wrote an unambiguous console command instead.

To be clear, I don’t actually like Snaps or some of Canonical’s other business practices. I don’t want to be recommending Kubuntu. But I can’t deny that it’s the easiest distro I’ve ever used.

Not fucking hard dude.

Apparently it is, given what happened in the video!

Also, who’s the prick? I’m not the one making personal attacks.

No, it seriously doesn’t! Here are the actual steps, unabridged and in full, that I go through to game on Linux:

1. Install Kubuntu
2. sudo apt install steam
3. There is no step 3; it just fucking works.

You are posting FUD and misinformation. Knock it off.

Except none of that gaming performance value matters if you can’t get it working in the first place!

People, especially ones new to Linux, shouldn’t have to know or care about the tools you mentioned. Hell, I had to DDG them to find out WTF you were talking about, and I’ve been gaming exclusively on Linux for damn near a decade! They don’t matter, and they’re especially not worth risking fucking up your entire experience for!

runs on a combination of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Debian 12 libraries.

No wonder it works fine in Ubuntu. Why won’t these “switch to Linux” challenges ever just fucking use Ubuntu?! It’s literally the distro that the big companies target!

if it really was the year of the Linux, it shouldn’t be 10 hiccups from install to game.

It isn’t 10 hiccups from install to game, if you just install something normal like Ubuntu or Fedora! The problem here is that the noobs are getting seduced by useless meme distros instead.

Trying to go for a “Linux gaming distro” is the wrong thing to do in the first place, IMO. Even if they’re gamers, they’re switching the computers they use for everything. What they needed was a general-purpose distro and then to install Steam or whatever on top of that.

The notion of a “gaming distro” should be considered harmful for everything other than maybe running it on one of those Steam Deck knock-offs.
