  • How about you actually research the things you’re talking about? The solar cycle does affect Earth’s climate, but current scientific consensus says that its impact is marginal compared to the greenhouse effect, which has had 270 times a greater effect on climate change compared to the effect from the solar cycle source. It isn’t possible for the Earth’s orbit or solar activity to have had this much of an impact over such a short period of time.

    As for mRNA vaccines, how are they not considered vaccines? Sure, they’re different from the traditional vaccines where they inject dead or very weak cells. What mRNA vaccines do is they inject the mRNA of a part of the pathogen (like a spike protein), along with sugar to encourage your cells to take it inside, then have the ribosomes print out that part of the pathogen inside your own cells. If you understood anything about the immune system, you’d know this is genius, because to the immune system this looks like a genuine infection, while there is zero actual risk of infection because there aren’t any actual pathogens in the vaccine. So the end effect is the same (or better!) than traditional vaccines, the immune system gains immunity, and the risk of side effects are lower because you can’t accidentally get infected in the process.





  • I think you may be misunderstanding what the command did. This command basically downloaded a shell script with curl, then ran it with sh. If you’re familiar with Windows this is equivalent to downloading and running a Batch or PowerShell script.

    EDIT: someone else has posted the shell script you ran. You essentially need to manually undo whatever is in the script in the terminal.




  • I have a very similar use case to you, and when I built my PC I just never installed Windows on it. Linux is a great development environment (imo strictly superior to Windows but ymmv), and gaming is almost flawless with Proton. Only problems with that has been from the immature RX 9070 XT drivers, so not too bad.

    Depending on what you program with I’d highly recommend exclusively using a Linux VM for it. Then you can fully switch once you’re comfortable working out the kinks.








  • I think that if you’re looking for a Linux distribution that is as polished as the Steam Deck, then SteamOS on desktop might not be the right play. SteamOS will probably (rightfully) be developed solely for handheld, low-power devices, and won’t work unless you’re using the specific APUs that they’ll include drivers for.

    If that sort of streamlined experience interests you, Bazzite has very similar goals to SteamOS (good OOTB gaming experience, safe updates etc.), except that they also target wide hardware compatibility. Other gaming distros exist, but I’m probably just not aware of them.
