I had the same issue on my desktop PC with Steam. The issue was that it was unable to determine which GPU to use, so I had to create a shortcut for steam and edit as follows:
[Desktop Entry]

// Add the two lines below at the end of this section (omit this comment)
PrefersNonDefaultGPU=false
X-KDE-RunOnDiscreteGpu=true
It seems KDE prefers using the integrated GPU for some reason.
Edit: this only makes sense if your laptop has a discrete GPU, I assumed it because it says you have two of them.
As for the game not running, sometimes it's incompatible with the graphics API used, some engines allow you to override that with a "launch argument" defined from within Steam and force DirectX 11 or Vulkan. I don't know the game so I don't know if it's this.
I guess just because it has always been like that doesn't make it good.
Personally, I think if they allowed installing whichever system you want on the machine you own, it would be leaps ahead. In fact the first xbox I think allowed installing Windows, and they teased Linux in the PS3, but later rolled back? People did it but I don't remember if it ever became anything official.
Pay for multiplayer, well it's justifiable but definitely not for the price they charge, which is why they include all the "other perks".
I think it's positive that you had the thought of contributing and trying to watch the series through their platforms. I'm not sure it has been mentioned here but I'd suggest to hit their support channels as well, probably opening a request per individual issue you had (which are plenty).
I believe what others have said: Apple made it frustrating to use outside of their ecosystem to lure you in. Perhaps you're lucky enough to draw the attention of some devs of the platform and they take pity.
Indeed it looks really complex, half way through the video I was already lost.
It's crazy not just that you have to manually pump it yourself, but why does it even have a "camping program" that you have to engage? It does nothing other than revealing the tray with the tent gear. There's so many steps involved, why did they think that was the one that required automating?
Still using my Pebble Time today, I'd love to get a refreshed version with an active store again. It's still my favorite smartwatch by far, nothing comes even close for me, I kept on thinking maybe I was alone in this.
I hope you can overcome the parts of your sickness that keep you more immobile, but otherwise it sounds like you're in a healthy relationship and state of mind, which, with or without kids, is still key for a happy life.

Good luck!
I've never done a multiple day hike so I guess this is what it'd look like? It seems very complete
They sell them to Bob now, who knows what Bob does with them...

In any case, if you own a console, enjoy it!
I love it
Same, I was hoping to burn 20 seconds of my life and instead it took only 10
Why not just cover your eyes?
Exactly the same, only using Lemmy now. It's cozy here
I came to write exactly this, I laughed out loud at it
Also deaf

mmmm, no, very mammalian
I love the critique on "the Fediverse has bad UX", I was so excited I got the reference before reading any comment. Also I agree with it.
The other answers are correct, I just wanted to add that they're talking about Reddit

Make it 35 then and everyone is happy

Thank you for sharing.
I had to go back to the post of public garden to verify it was you! It was a new experience to find this cross-post joke, cheers for that
Thanks for sharing and I hope you didn't experience financial ruin because of it
