I have an Alienware laptop, and I’m guessing all the proprietary bells & whistles won’t run on Linux. Which is mostly fine - I don’t need all the dumb glowy nonsense. But I don’t know whether the computer will work without its special Alienware drivers and whatnot. The battery & GPU management systems in particular barely even work on the OS they’re meant for; I’m not optimistic they’d work at all on anything else. It seems like there’s a high likelihood that testing out Linux would be a disappointing time sink. So I guess, the answer why I haven’t switched is a combo of pessimism + laziness?
However, if anyone happens to know of a distro that works on an Alienware 17 R5 (AMD), please let me know! I’d love to switch.
I never witnessed or experienced toxicity as people generally think of the term (rude name calling and such), but stalking and other creepy, unwanted behavior? Most definitely. Main reason I no longer play.
Edit to add, overall I agree with all the commenters saying it’s a super friendly and positive community overall. It can just sometimes be too friendly. lol
The other people saying the pain will go away in 2 weeks are correct. If it’s really hurting that bad, give yourself a rest.
Source: played on/off for 30 years, keep losing my callouses & getting them back. (Although they come back super fast - it’s just the first time that takes a while.)

Tom Homan is a bitch.

Blood on the wall, beratnas!
What kind of gaming are you into?
Droopy!
Are these adventure paths worth picking up? I’m tempted to grab them just in case I want them someday, but I’m also pretty broke.
Right on! Published adventure or homebrew?
I’m only 4 episodes into Mortals & Portals but will also second this recommendation. Those dudes are hilarious.
Fuck yeah Pathfinder!
As a chicken owner, I can assure you chickens absolutely are tiny T-Rexes. Tiny, ferocious, bloodthirsty little T-Rexes that poop everywhere.
So precious! Barred rock?
