I would recommend editing your fstab and use the USB drive's UUID to mount it to a consistent location. That way, even if you reboot or disconnect the drive and the reconnect it to, say, a different USB port, it will always mount to the same mountpoint.

See this page from the arch wiki for more info.

is there a Linux… idk what to call it, type? OS? Thing??? that runs out of the box without me having to install additional software manually or at least automatic setup wizards

The word you are looking for is called a distribution, or distro for short.

I'm surprised no one else has mentioned Bazzite, which should be exactly what you're looking for.

is there any specific hardware that works easier with Linux

An AMD GPU for sure. Nvidia drivers have come a long way, but they don't generally behave as well out of the box like AMD.

It was so disappointing, it would have been so easy to make it work with couch co-op and online multiplayer with just a little bit more effort. I was so excited when it was first announced, and then I don't think I played it beyond the first day it released after trying online play with my brother.

The original was a masterpiece of couch co-op, but it's increasingly difficult and expensive to play it on original hardware anymore. Fortunately you can get away with connecting multiple instances of m-gba and dolphin to recreate the experience on emulator for couch co-op at least.

This is a research paper and not necessarily a proposed product. I think the implications are interesting, specifically around how the robot conveys its intent and attention.

LOL absolute legend.

What about adding "in nog we trust" or something along those lines. Depending on your artistic confidence, maybe also a portrait, but with a chicken head instead of a dead president lol

Go to a grocery store and go "psst, want to buy some quality merchandise?" to random people passing by. Then reveal the inside of your jacket lined with eggs.

Ah, I believe that would be from a college course.

Statements that start with # in C/C++ are known as preprocessor directives, that is, they are executed before compilation begins. OP has used a #define which will replace any instance of A (IF(x)) with B (while (x)) in the code.

So the IF statement is really just a while statement.

Big laundry. I don't even remember what the reason was. I guess I assumed I would remember like it was some sort of genius idea. Big laundry, big laundry, it's crazy, I'm a crazy person.
