1. Distros : as others said, Mint is a solid choice. I personally use ZorinOS because it’s very close to the Windows interface and I really enjoy it, i installed it on every computer in the house x). I saw Pop_OS recommended for gaming too.
2. Hard incompatibilities : as others said, some big games with kernel level anti cheat might not work (Fortnite, Apex Legends, Valorant, Rust, etc.). Along ProtonDB, a great site to keep track of that is https://areweanticheatyet.com/. Other than that, I ended up being able to run approximately anything, from old indies to modern big games without major problems, though it may involve tinkering.
3. Tinkering with linux : if you are used in googling issues and browsing a bit through old forums posts, in my experience you’re good to go. I found a solution to every of my problems but one : it’s caused by Nvidia drivers. As you asked in another comments, AMDs and Intel’s drivers are open source, and so it’s easier for linux devs to adapt to them. Nvidia are proprietary, though they are going half-open-source and there is an attempt at building an open source driver from scratch, but their basic drivers options may clash with linux sometimes (in my case, the driver wont let linux turn off the screen when i’m inactive for too long, so not that a big issue).
4. Windows compatibility : On 2 of the 3 computers i tried, having a windows 10 partition on the side is easy to setup and does not generate much trouble. My main computer is ZorinOS/Windows 11, and this one had more issues : each time i switch, i have to go in BIOS to set a setting that is made for Windows off, otherwise i can’t have multiple screens in linux. I also experienced some troubles which are probably linked to the partitioning process (i had to defrag data to create partitions) : if you can, i’d recommend making a clean multi partition drive, installing windows from scratch first, then installing Linux.
5. Good luck in your process ! I was a bit reluctant at first, but now i’m really glad i did it. If you have access to another device, maybe try to install linux there first, so you can try it out and go through the installation process a first time.

Absolutely no expertise guy, but here is a possible explanation : ferrous is a word use in common speaking, where it is useful to distinguish things based on practical properties. Being magnetic is one of those practical properties, and iron being the most common magnetic metal, it was designed as ‘ferrous’. Adding metals that contain no iron to the list makes it scientifically/technically incoherent but that does not matter much from a common sense practical point of view.

I’d say you could render something close in real time. I’m not entirely aware of all techniques used in this film, but seeing what we can render at 60fps in terms of games, I think you could find a way of achieving a Toy Story look at 24fps. You may need a lot of tweaking though, depending on what you use (i was thinking about EEVEE, the Blender ‘real-time’ engine, and I know there are a bunch of settings and workarounds to use to get good results, and i think they may tend to make the render not real-time (like 0.5s, 1s, 2s per frame, so quite fast but not real time)

You may want to beneficiate from little performance boost even though you mostly don’t need it and still need python’s advantages. Being interested in performance isnt always looking for the very best performance there is out of any language, it can also be using little tips to go a tiny bit faster when you can.

Are you sure they are aware of this? If yes, maybe they disagree but don’t have words or take action for some reason. Or maybe they know or think they know the man very well and trust him? Just hypothesis, i’m not really convinced.

But i’m even unable to conceive how someone that young would be attracted to someone that older, outside of any authority figure or idealisation kind of scheme. So I guess she must have a specific reason, and she’s not doing this out of the blue, and this reason, whatever it is, may make it difficult for her parents to convince her or force her out of the relation.

Apart from the Tankie Triad, i’d doubt right wing opinions would get you banned (i’m not against believe it if i saw some examples though).

Hate speech and promotion of oppressions that right wingers tend to consider as simple ‘opinions’ might though.

It is highly unpopular here to criticize Ukraine, and people kinda have good reasons for it, with all the far-right/trolls/tankies praising Russia and undermining Ukraine support.

Still, and though I support Ukrainians in a war made by Russia, conscription (it’s always forced btw) is something I can’t get over with, it goes against liberty, equality, solidarity, everything i believe in. Fuck armies, anywhere, anywhen, anyhow. It does not mean that they should be unfunded/unsupported/fought against, just that we have to remember that they are bad to the core, and that even when necessary, they should not get any glory, any power or any reward.

Anyway, i hope for peace in Ukraine, that they will get their previous frontiers, and that violences will soon come to an end, so that forced soldiers on both sides and Ukrainian civilians can escape this hell.
