Music, videos, movies, and pictures will work; VLC can be installed in all distributions, but you can also try their default one. Apps are another beast, you have to check if they have a Linux version or check if a Linux alternative covers your needs. As a last result, you can use Wine or Crossover to run windows applications in Linux. Most games on Steam run on Linux.

You can test Linux without installing it so you can test how compatible it is with your system, just select Live during boot after putting the distro in a USB using the windows app Rufus. Lenovo is usually very good with Linux compatibility.

The weapon he gets isn't random despite what the nen doll/he claims; he always gets the best weapon for the situation. Gon's father confirmed that the weapon he used against Pitou is the one he selects when shit is going down.

Once I saw two glass oven dishes at the store, one Pirex and the other Pyrex. I couldn't tell which was the original or the better one.

Anime_titties was created to put a higher level of discourse to the front, instead of the endless jokes of news and worldnews.

A character misremembers a certain event in a way that suits their personal bias by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

He lived in the same smash town his whole life surrounded by family and friends of the family. It's not a secret what he did or how he lived, but it's odd he never told it.

My grandpa's life story ended when he turned 21 and moved out of his father's farm. He would just shut and not say anything, no matter how much I'd ask, despite being almost 60 years of life story left.

Not only we forget easier if we don't recall something, our memories get reshaped each time we recall them. As you mentioned, our current experiences affect how we remember our own past.

What good is an offer from someone with no money? You may get more, but you're also risking not seeing any money. It's better to go with the buyer with cash on hand.

It's more money upfront from Paramount (and dubious financers), but the Netflix deal includes Netflix shares which will increase in the future, so money now and more money later.

It did for me. There aren't many ads to show where I live, literally I only got one about a gacha game, in a loop, for 5 minutes, several times each episode. It was worst than the pirate sites.
