I think this is a rhetorical question

You’re right, I edited my original comment to include advice on how to do this

If you know how to hack your switch, you should also know how to not get banned

Be aware, however, Nintendo is aggressive with banning, so mod at your own risk.

Just block Nintendo servers when running modded to make sure you don’t get banned. This guide can help you: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/extras/blocking_nintendo/

You can check if it’s on Deezer and use this guide to download it. The same is possible on Qobuz. Both offer FLACs.

Some Tailscale clients are open-source and you can self-host a Headscale server

Njalla and Kyun

Where there’s a will, there’s a way

uBlock Origin should prevent this, other ad-blockers might not have these bypass mechanisms.

You know that this is a piracy community, right?

Well, based Terry absolutely makes me want to move to TempleOS

Another reason to never ever touch any Facebook services and to block their shitty privacy-invasive ads

On a separate note, I still don’t understand how trackpoints on HP laptops work. There’s no scroll button, how the fuck am I supposed to use this piece of shit if I can’t scroll??? The thing that is meant to replace the mouse/trackpad for ease of use and ergonomics literally forces me to use a mouse or a trackpad. This doesn’t make any fucking sense!!!

Exactly

What caused you to get into it

The year was 2002. I was told about Gentoo Linux by a college. I saw it as a new, shiny toy and immediately wanted to try it out. I realized that it was better than Windows, so I stuck with it. (Not with Gentoo, but with Linux. I still use Gentoo sometimes today, but I also tried out many many other distros throughout the time and I don’t use Gentoo exclusively nowadays.)

are you an evangel

Yes, I believe that Linux is far superior to Windows and I tell people about it

are you obsessed?

Absolutely

My desktop is running a nearly 10 year old install.

Oh wow! That’s truly impressive.

Another thing that helped me: Get comfortable in the Terminal. Obviously you have to learn some commands and how they work, but just configure your shell and commonly used CLI tools. It makes the experience so much more pleasant. Install a nice shell prompt, set up some aliases for frequently used commands, learn the basics of shell scripting and write your own useful little scripts for things you often have to do, maybe start using Vim and configure it the way you like it. Also explore other shells. Bash is the default shell, but there are better options like zsh or fish. You can watch this video to get some inspiration: https://youtube.com/watch?v=KKxhf50FIPI. This is actually pretty close to my shell setup. If you want to start customizing bash, check this out: https://youtube.com/watch?v=b3W7Ky_aaaY.

To continue learning, maybe subscribe to some Linux-oriented YouTube channels. DistroTube makes great videos about Linux, tiling window managers, how to use various commands, how to configure your shell environment, etc. He also reviews many Linux distros or explains why free software is important. If you search any Linux-related topic on YouTube, chances are that DT already made a great video about it.

openSUSE is rather small, not everything is packaged for it. Arch is the best in terms of software availability, thanks to the AUR.

The only distro that even comes close is NixOS, but I really wouldn’t recommend it for beginners. You can explore it in a VM though or maybe at some point actually try it out. It’s very very different than other distros though.
