I use Nobara, moved to it from Neon myself after the debacle that was the rebase to 24.04. It's Fedora based and you can get it with regular KDE or their own customized version. It's Fedora with special mods made by GloriousEggroll (the dev behind Proton-GE) to improve performance mostly for gaming though the improvements can be of benefit to other applications as well. It was probably the most popular "gaming" distro until Bazzite became the hot new thing. Give it a try and see how it runs on your hardware.

Only gaming I've done lately is beat the Elite 4 and Delta episode of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. Due to being underemployed and having other recent large expenses it will probably be a while before I pick up a Switch 2 or any other game, for that matter. I only got Pokemon and Kirby from a Christmas gift card. Time to go clear out the backlog.

The franchise is very much split in gameplay style between the 2D and 3D entries. Generally the 2D games are much more highly rated, but there are good 3D games (and not-so-good 2D games) too. Here's a list of what's worth checking out of each:

2D The original trilogy from the Genesis (found in various Genesis collections and Sonic Origins) Sonic Advance trilogy (GBA) Sonic Rush (DS) Sonic Mania (any modern console and PC)

3D Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 (Steam, modern consoles MAY have digital copies) Sonic Colors (most easily accessible through recent remaster on PC and modern consoles) Sonic (X Shadow) Generations (just remade everywhere) Sonic Frontiers (haven't tried it myself but heard it's alright)

While I agree that cats are fine outside (while supervised and/or staying within their own yard - a small harness and leash can do the job), cats are just as healthy and happy staying indoors. My own cat actually refuses to go outside despite enjoying looking out the window all the time. I tried taking him outside a couple times to get him some exercise and he absolutely hated it. Different cats enjoy different environments.

Or fund the public portion with legal gambling like we did in Minnesota 😂😑😓

Do you know if the major issue with QTWebEngine will be fixed so that KMail/Kontact and Falkon will work again?

I never used a guide or anything either, I was 13 when I beat it the first time, but finding that one missing key always trips me up for at least a few minutes.

The Water Temple.

"Pretty capable" will get you dunked on in the PC gaming world. For what I've seen PC gamers actually recommend I could buy 2-3 modern consoles.

I really don't know why people bother with the sarcasm and insults at you for just trying to improve yourself. Do the best you can, dude.

Like I mentioned before, "tutorial pulls" are part of that hyper-generosity that gachas will commonly have for new players to give them enough of a dopamine rush to hang around and be more likely to spend more later. That generosity will not last and can't last or elee the game will not make nearly as much money. Give it another week and you will find that the supposed good luck runs out, as well as the free currency offered for things like logging in, and then it will start requiring a ton of grinding or real world money to acquire the necessary currency to get to the "pity" in order to ensure you get a top-rarity item. That's how gacha systems work.

Most "pity" systems require hundreds of pulls beforehand, which unless someone saves months worth of free currency for those pulls, can be very expensive in real world money to get the currency to afford. In a way, pity systems are just designed to increase the amount of money players spend.
