Bioinformatics may suit, especially if you go hard at understanding biochem. In fact all the Informatics (Medical, Chemical, Geo, ...) have good prospects, and at the very least will get you quickly past the bottom IT rungs and likely in interesting places. Mathematics (perhaps Computational) is surprisingly versatile and very much in demand if you can be creative about presenting yourself, you've proved you can handle some of the most complex shit out there.

But it's probably worth making a mini research project out of exploring your options, weeks spent now might be very rewarding long term.

Thought it was something like that, hence needs must when the devil drives

Check here Personally wouldn't piss on it if it was on fire, but needs must when the devil drives.

Pretty sure it's in google services which you can turn on, personally think that waters down the point of Graphene if you leave that on, to the point of pointlessness, but some countries seem to live on whatsapp, more's the pity.

For what seems to be your use case, it should be good or better (AMD helps) and everything you need is in the tin. There are a couple of gotchas, and the doco could be better if you're a dev, but if you're just gaming you'll be fine.

Try to avoid using rpm-ostree install (it's dog slow and slows updates, you're building an OS image after all) instead first try flatpak and then create a fedora distrobox (or arch or whatever, but fed is most in line with the base install) and dnf install from inside that (and then export to the main OS, keep it clean and it'll be stable).

ujust update rocks, but it updates automatically in the background (there's at least two OS images at all times, so in the unlikely event it breaks you just revert), so don't forget to reboot every now and then, weekly at least for security reasons.

Go here for questions, there's a discord too if you like that sort of thing. Have fun!

Aye, to each their own. I went the other way, Arch -> Fedora -> Immutable Fedora, because I was sick of tinkering and wanted stability ;}

TLDR:

Skip to today, and Big Tech is pursuing the same approach, often in the same states.

They too have funded front groups, hired an armada of lobbyists, donated millions to campaigns, and opened a firehose of lobbying money to replace real privacy laws with fake industry alternatives as ineffective as non-smoking sections.

I've had a couple of things mess up, usually nvidia related (egregiously sleep, and I like sleeping my desktop), but because it's immutable I just revert the entire OS and come back to current in a few weeks, and it's good (not the best security-wise, but my use-case is pretty sanguine). That's one of immutable positives. Bazzite natively supports 6 months reversion, or in a pinch you can go back to Silverblue/Kinoite.

Shall avoid, thanks for the heads up.

You dropped this - /s

Nice to see tech jesus here (getting this right?), normally in my rss feed...

Keen.

Thanks, needed that.
