Wait a minute.

WHY TF IS HORIZON ZERO DAWN GETTING AN REMASTER!?!?!

WHAT IS THE POINT? What stupid idiot thought this was a good idea????

And that bloody price tag! €50 for accessibility features and slightly better performance? Why... Why is this a successful way to make money? ... I... I'm sad now.

Problem is, the games are fun. Had a hell of a time with the second game, and unleashed the 100%er in me

Edit: The games are genuinely high quality, with interesting and constantly evolving mechanics and often good stories. That's not something you see in big titles anymore.

My greatest joy in life is learning new things. I have never, ever had coffee. I've never been interested. Just simply never cared for it.

I'll be flabbergasted if thats true. Need story plz

For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done? in c/[email protected]

While the prices arent insane, I still spend nearly double my insurance each month due to "eigen bijdrage". I think it's 400 per 3 months, though I'm not sure.

So I understand wanting to catalogue all treatments he could do whilst not needing to pay for'm.

The situation is mostly America specific, the question isn't.

I missed that part xD

Just with the rant thought of the root of this problem, and that is the general populace and how they use it xD

Just keep in mind that installing an app via the respective app stores (just install, not custom settings) is often the limit of what people can, and are willing to do.

People just simply don't have the time, willpower and/or knowledge to get a controlled LAN working. It's similar to how you don't expect everyone being able to fly a helicopter, or build a car from scratch.

Because (in NL) you're supposed to wear a full protective suit with padding and a helmet, or get a significantly worse ticket and potential loss of head/limb.

There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. in c/[email protected]

It is. From my experience a couple months back its crisp. Not the highest graphics, and it took a little getting used to from a high-end PC, but it was really nice. In certain aspects even preferable xD

So, at school we use the whole Office 365 suite for a myriad of tasks.

Teams is used as the main way to share exercises and lesson material, Outlook is used as the resident email service, and you're expected to use OneDrive to store all/most of your data. There are some additional apps that require Windows, but beyond the office 365 suite they are all replaceable.

What I'm wondering is, what distro can run/access those apps without too much hassle and set-up?

I'm looking to do this on a HP probook x360, upgraded to 32 GB of ram. The only peripheral of note I've got is a Ugee drawing tablet, but I can use the openTabletDriver or their own on some distro's.

Edit: Thanks guys!

User helpimnotdrowning recommend Mint! This'll be my first real daily foray onto Linux, so it's definitely a good option. I'll also have a look at Gnome Vs KDE. I've been looking at KDE in the past, but gnome is definitely worth a peep as well.

User BearOfATime, thanks for giving the software name that allows for a seamless VPN transition! I'll also look into the win 10 LTSC. Not sure it's a right fit, but it's always fun to learn more!

As a couple of you recommend, there seems to be a teams flatpak to download, so I'll have a look into that!

Finally, I'd like to thank y'all for the useful and helpful answers! Many of you said to try the webapps, so I'll be doing that! My current plan is to use VMWare (alt is Vbox. VMware works (and looks) better) and try to actively use a mint VM. Not sure If I'll be able to stick to it, and not unknowingly switch to windows, but having it as a starting app should solve a couple issues. Slower start times, sure, but that's not the worst. Your advice is very much appreciated! It's given me a good confidence boost to start. Thanks for that :D
