2025 will truly be the year of the Linux desktop! I am so happy about this information!

I think on mutable distros, or at least arch, you can run a command to reinstall all installed packages, which will verify integrity of the package files (signatures) and then ensure the files in the filesystem match package files? And I think it takes minutes at most, at least for typical setups.

I do think it's also possible to just verify integrity of all files installed from a package, but I don't remember if it required an external utility, pretty sure it's on the arch wiki under pacman/tips and tricks

Oh, just ask an Arch user about Manjaro.

Or maybe what he expected was most likely to let a drunk girl let him go?

From the first link, sounds like what the other reply said - vitamin D is important (but can be gotten from other sources), and I failed to mention it. Sorry. That said, it also recommends wearing a hat, and using sunscreen when outside for longer periods of time.

I unfortunately can't read the second link without agreeing for them to sell my data, so that's a nope.

True, I shouldn't have skipped over that, my bad

Pretty sure sun isn't good for the skin, sun exposure without adequate protection just increases cancer risk, especially sunburns. It is good for mental health though, but you should still avoid exposing uncovered skin without sunscreen - it's an unfortunate balance where you might have to harm your body to a limited degree because our brains are wired to enjoy it.

It's not like Bethesda called their games "Fantasy" - "Civilization" is such a generic name that I respect putting the author's name before it to avoid any confusion.

I also recommend rEFInd for the bootloader if you don't want to set anything up (and risk messing up). You don't need to configure your boot entries, it scans for boot options and shows them with a graphical interface, so your Linux and Windows should just show up.

Except you might want a client, both to keep your games in one place, and for extra features it can provide (like cloud saves and updates) - and if you're on Linux, you're excluded from that kind of stuff on GOG.

The issue is, when doing sudo, you have to put in the password when doing sudo. In this case, you put in your password, some flag is set, the computer does a full reset, and then after it reads the flag and decides to bypass the password system. That sounds like just a step away of figuring out how to set this flag without a password to bypass logging in.

I think an issue is, this sets up your computer to have a way to bypass putting your password in on boot. If you don't care about security too much and don't have things like secure boot and encryption, then that's bypassable anyways... But otherwise, I'd be concerned about introducing systems that specifically bypass security.
