I wake a good 7 hours earlier than that, but I'm in a different timezone, it's probably afternoon your time, and definitely afternoon on someone's time
I miss the time I had as a teen to make plot. I'm lucky to come up with three pages of notes before a game now, I had plot that lasted in-game months when I was young, one summer of Rifts my plot notes came to 80 pages
I briefly ran a game for 4 players weekly, but that's become a board game night since one got offended by something someone said, and another is that person's partner, so now there are too few of us
Another game has been running now for years playing d&d 3.5, with two people happy to GM, which is pretty close to unique in my experience
I don't think timing has been the cause of failure of a group I've been part of
Shame Lemmy is so small, I feel it's unlikely I'd find anyone near enough to put another group together/grow the too small group
I feel like I'm an average person, and making the OS look nice is very high on my wish list. My day 1 task on a new system is to copy over my backgrounds, set up themes and colours, set up the right level of transparency.
I'm only half annoyed that I did all that on bazzite before I discovered I couldn't stand an immutable system
I have only had problems from dist upgrade when I have been running server software (specifically email and mailing lists). Games, productivity stuff, pictures and so will be fine.
You can buy nearly any budget machine and load Linux off a USB stick, but most people just take whatever they have and their last windows action is to download a boot image and write it to a USB stick, then boot off the stick and tell it to use the whole disk
Then use your backup system to restore your documents, pictures, web and mail configuration, and game settings and saves to your Linux machine
The heat death has everything spread out so your visible universe holds only you more or less. The most extreme models say matter to be torn to atoms, the less extreme expect solar systems to survive, maybe even galaxies.
Both agree the black holes will evaporate to nothing but Hawking radiation
An electric mower runs on sunlight (at least mine does), at some point their batteries will be recyclable. They have to be better than both
