Another reason to use Logitech mice: ease of repair. Apart from skates covering the screws on the underside, Logitech does not use glue to keep it’s mice together. And due to their popularity, replacement parts (including the battery btw) are widely available even for older models.

Only 1 concurrent player per copy in the family library. So to play together you’d still have to both buy the game.

That and of course Slay The Spire, IMHO peak rogue like deck builder.

You can turn down everything to minimal (so maximal battery life) and have a perfect playing experience with that.

While it technically works it has massive issues.

After every patch I can play 1 match. Then I get kicked because some random file has a version mismatch. From there on the game will not let me back into the lobby screen because of version mismatches.

I’ve tried deleting the proton prefix, reinstalls on various ssds and hdds, different proton versions…

And it’s definitely an Apex issue since a ton of other EAC games work just fine for me.

The only thing that actually works reliably is booting to Windows and playing it from there for me.

Matlab exists for Linux and is the same as on Windows. LibreOffice is a fully functioning office suit for Linux.

I can’t speak to SOLIDWORKS, their website only lists a windows version. There is however some community work being done here https://github.com/cryinkfly/SOLIDWORKS-for-Linux And it looks like they have it running.

Given that Fedora and Ubuntu are listed on that github, you should probably start with either one of those.

For a complete beginner I’d recommend Ubuntu, since it’s a solid distro with huge wealth on online support available.
