Dude I was a diehard RIF user, talklittle is the GOAT. I use his app for tildes.net which is also great.
Thanks for the rec, I'll check it out
If you do install Linux (I highly recommend) just know that in Steam, if you buy a game and your library page says "This game is not supported" and the install button is disabled, you just need to right-click on the game (in the left panel), go to Properties -> Compatibility, and set it to Proton Experimental (you can also play around with specific versions of Proton). 99% of my games work flawlessly (n.b. I don't play competitive online multiplayer any more, it's too sweaty and time-consuming for me these days). In fact I can't think of anything that didn't work. But check ProtonDB real quick before buying (although you can always refund if it doesn't run).
Temporarily. But the middle class is losing more; they'll buy up all the distressed assets like local businesses and small chains and bleed them dry
