  • I don’t know that I “love” it, in that I have no strong feelings on the subject; however, an ID is a physically minor thing. Unless you’re doing something illegal (or at least likely to invite retribution from those in power) or are a privacy advocate to the point that you don’t want to be identifiable on principle, there’s not much reason to not carry your ID any time you leave your property (home or vehicle). Even in the case of the latter, if you know you’re going to be purchasing an age controlled item, it seems reasonable to leave your house with your ID in that instance then leave it behind for other travels.

    However, as a fairly sheltered individual, I can acknowledge that there may be circumstances I haven’t encountered and therefore haven’t considered. Fortunately for me, though I always carry my ID, the ever-increasing amount of grey in my hair and beard mean that I rarely get ID’d.













  • Your question isn’t dumb. You just haven’t been exposed to the environment. Please feel free to ask any question about this you have and, if I don’t answer, someone else probably will.

    If you install the Linux version of Steam, it should allow you to download any game. There’s a checkbox in the Steam settings that says something like “run non compatible games through proton” (not what it says, but the general sentiment). Checking that and restarting Steam once is the extent of the setup required; after that, it’s essentially the same process as running a game in Windows (with the few exceptions mentioned by another commenter). Non Steam games should be able to be run by Lutris, PlayOnLinux or adding a non Steam game to Steam, but I mostly haven’t done that myself so I can’t vouch for it. Sincerely, for most games, it’s an easy process.

    I’m no expert, but if you decide to pursue this and get stuck, please feel free to reach out to me and I’ll do my best to help. The link below seems like a good starting point: https://geekflare.com/install-steam-on-linux/
