This is very accurate. I can't even relax if i expect i might hear footsteps, regardless of source (except cat steps). But to be fair, one parent was neglectful and the other one unpredictable.

I can only agree on that point. source: first hand experience.
Yeah there is one project for wayland which creates a virtual input device and hooks into the hotkey system in kde plasma, but it's jank af and adding more than one macro bugs out.
It doesn't seem too complicated tho, might be a good beginner project for updating my 25 year old coding skills.
I fully agree with you. I am a recovering addict in a substitution program (my doctors hooked me up with fent matrix patches to control my back pain which i started to abuse), and while i did not steal because medication is cheap where i live, i lied to so many doctors to get my fix and i lied to everyone around me to cover up for my fucked up state. Before, i was pretty much someone who wouldn't have considered going to a doctor and lying to him to get meds - addiction brought out the worst in me.
I'm the same with Roccat / now Turtle Beach. It's not even their policies, but their hardware is easy to repair yourself if its a small fix, and i hadn't any device die on me yet in the last 10 years where it wasn't selfinflicted a.k.a drown the Keyboard in half a liter of soda - the second time; sadly the liquid reached the rgb-ic which shorted so hard that it melted before i could do anything.
Their driver support for linux could be better tho (have to switch to the windows VM and use USB passthrough to configure). has anyone a recommendation for gaming keyboard/mice which support macros and multiple layers under linux?
I used the Nobara Driver Manager to do it, so i can't really tell you how it works on Mint. It might be that youi have to reinstall your video drivers too, since those functions are closely related in my driver manager. FWIW, you might wanna look at the available renderer options for vulkan.
This is where i can reinstall Mesa and my Drivers, maybe it helps:

I explicitely chose Nobara because it's well documented that Nvidia Cards tend to cause issues, and Nobara makes handling the situation easy.
Yep, they can fly very low, making them hard to see on the radar
It might rattle up the lethargic russian population tho. Better idea: don't hit the Kremlin, but make a crater in the exact center of the red square at 3am in the night.
I do the same, but i know i have a game hoarding problem, and i don't want to lose my grandfathered in "i get all games in the bundle" - perk. And Tbh, i didn't have a month yet where i didn't get at least my moneys worth; if anything, the games i didn't know about prevented me from spending more.
- Atomic Heart is a trippy experience, i liked what i saw.
- V Rising is cool, so is the System Shock Remake!
- Cryptmaster is a great game, i really enjoyed it!
Regarding your game issues: i had that the last 2 times my nobara (fedora) updated, where Proton games suddendly used my CPU for rendering out of the blue, lagging out my system so hard i had to reboot. Keep an eye on CPU load; if it's this reinstalling Mesa Vulkan probably fixes it. I'm running an NVIDIA card.
The US foreign relation policies are completely brainrotten to a degree that it feels masochistic. They keep hitting themselves over and over, and it makes less and less sense.
