It's a bit sad how everybody talk about the new NTsync. Most games, like, 90% of them, are not bound by sync. You would get exactly no performance benefit in them. What's better about it is the correctness of the implementation, more programs will work under WINE as a result of switching to NTsync. It's a good thing, but media clearly seems to miss the point and only focus on a few cases where it would give an impressive performance benefit.

For anyone having the copy-paste skill issue, try Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V.

TUI is a subset of GUI that uses text in a terminal to render UI elements. It does not make automation any easier. What you want is called CLI.

Yea, when I switched to Linux, at first I installed PowerShell to get something familiar, but quickly realized that contrary to Windows, terminal on Linux is actually usable on it's own out of the box.

Looks like a perfectly normal "Enter" key on an ANSI keyboard. Why the confusion?

A fairly hard to answer question with Japanese. It operates with morae, not vowels and consonants. な row (なにぬねの, na ni nu ne no) and ま row (まみむめも, ma mi mu me mo) are starting with distinctly different sounds, they are pretty hard to confuse. However, there is also this fucker: ん (n). This one can be read very differently depending on what surrounds it. As an example,

{先生|せんせい} (se n se i), means teacher, has ん usually romanized as "n";

{先輩|せんぱい} (se m pa i), means senior, has ん usually romanized as "m".

There are some more ways of reading it, sometimes it becomes nasal, sometimes it makes you pretend you are speech impaired.

Japanese onomatopoeia for a cat is usually written にゃん (n-ya n). Two n sounds here are a bit different, one is represented by the beginning of に (ni), another by ん (n). The first one is hard to confuse with an "m", so I would say that it's just cats producing a sound somewhere inbetween m and n, and it just so happened that Japanese people attributed it to に.

Happens in plenty other languages, Ukranian one is няв (nyav), for example.

It's "мяу" in Russian and Bulgarian, "мяў" in Belarusian. So, you can also choose between MRY and whatever Belarusians did to their у.

Unless your laptop uses some obscure networking hardware, should work out of the box. Never used Mint, but it looks like it uses NetworkManager by default, which I haven't had any major issues with.

uninstalls the kernel package

I would not recommend someone who does not know what they are doing replacing the DE, the process heavily varies depending on your current setup. If you want Ubuntu with KDE, just use Kubuntu.

SteamVR runs terribly on Linux, Monado/WiVRn is pretty playable.

I prefer to drag my friends toward games without integrated rootkits. Better for them, better for me. Thankfully, there are plenty of games to choose from today.

If something does not work, mostly it either has a kernel level anticheat or it's Adobe. I just learned to live without these, I think it's for the best. You can even do VR on Linux nowadays!
