Why are like half of these wearing full on pants? OP, do you actually sleep in like jeans shorts?

This is why robes exist.

Firefox. They're still great, people keep freaking out over extremely benign changes.

I would call anything under water wet with the specific exception of stuff like aerogel that is hydrophobic, because it's insulated by a layer of air. I think at enough pressure that would be overcome and the material would become wet.

Heat and water are not analogous because heat is pure energy. Water is a physical liquid. You're laser focused on a single definition of a word that's used in many other ways. Anyone trying to tell you that water isn't wet is engaged in semantic foolery.

Saying you're wet while underwater is the most natural thing, what?

I find it patently absurd to say water isn't wet. Like obvious doublespeak levels of absurd. It's the wettest thing possible.

There's a 100% chance that his mic issues are not driver related, but instead are Discord's fault. They are classically awful at providing feature parity for Linux.

Have him fiddle with the audio settings, it's probably either the echo cancellation or noise reduction. As another commenter mentioned there are third party solutions for both.

FYI for GW2 you can actually use the steam client even if your account is non-steam, you just need to use a launch option -- see here https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/wvxqe3/logging_into_guild_wars_2_on_steam_with_an/

To be clear, the vast majority of "games with anti-cheat" work perfectly well on Linux. It's just the ones where developers have chosen to either explicitly block Linux (e.g. Fortnite) or to use invasive rootkit anti-cheat (e.g. Riot games, FACEIT, etc.) which wouldn't be allowed to work on Linux anyway because it's a really stupid idea to let random gaming companies have access to your ring 0.

Love the look and the layout, though non-ortholinear custom keyboards always make me raise an eyebrow
