Yeah, that’s my main issue is just all the stuff I’m familiar with has changed. And that’s not a problem for the OS, it’s been 15+ years since I’ve messed with it so that stuff should’ve changed. It’s more frustration with how much of a pain it is to relearn it all, especially as I’m older and have other stuff I would rather be spending my time with than poking around 40 pages into a man page to try to make basic shit work.

Re:games - if you happen to have a link to that magical steam config that would be immensely helpful, cause I’m gonna try again at some point, and the more resources I can sock away toward making that less painful the more likely I am to stick with it, and being able to play games is my #1 requirement to do that.

Oh, and by the way, Pop!OS is a branch of Ubuntu, so at least when it comes to command line tools and locations of files in the filesystem, most help for Ubuntu out there also works with Pop!OS.

You would think so, but they use different packages (they swap pulseaudio with pipewire or vice versa, etc) and put things in different locations, so I was often frustrated by solutions tailored to Ubuntu that required editing files that just didn’t exist in PopOS.
