Hello,

I am not techy. My ex got me into linux and used to be my tech support. I know this issue has been answered before but I am not sure how to run the answer in terminal. Please explain it to me with all the code lines I'd need to run. I don't know how to create a file with context. I understand some may be wondering why I am sticking with a linux machine if I am not techy. Honestly, I am sick and tired of windows and apple bloat and I am trying to avoid overfilling my life with subscriptions.

This is the answer I found:

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-04-lts-noble-numbat-release-notes/39890

Problem: When I try to run steam either through the shortcut or through terminal I get the error:

Steam now requires user namespaces to be enabled.

This requirement is the same as for Flatpak, which has more detailed information available: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/User-namespace-requirements

System specs:

OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

Kernal Version: Linux 6.8.0-134-generic

I am around 4 months post break up from a person I deeply love and thought I was going to marry. We were even less than 2 months shy of our 4 year anniversary. I think I am finally coming out of the post break up fog and am starting to imagine life without him but dammit, I feel guilty. Part of me hopes we'll get back together after we heal. We broke up because we weren't making any progress on the problems in our relationship together anymore and I was spiralling trying to maintain my grades in medical school, my self-esteem, and the relationship. So we split rather amicably. It wasn't out of the blue, we were just at an impasse.

Another part of me wants to move on to someone else. I am noticing other people and am wondering if maybe I can find someone that would better fit me. There were aspects about being with my ex that were absolutely wonderful. He pushed me to be a better person and hold myself to higher standards. I genuinely think I came out of the relationship with a better understanding about who I want to be. He was very loving, thoughtful, and kind to everyone, not just me. I didn't want to lose that. At the same time, I felt that despite doing my best I could never truly be what he wanted or needed. I felt like a constant failure trying.

I just wish I could make a decision one way or another. I keep asking myself what I want and honestly, I don't know. I fucking hate being torn in so many directions. I think this is just part of the healing process but oh my god it sucks! I promised myself I would take 6 months to rebuild and decide what direction I want to go but honestly, I am beginning to think 6 months is still not going to be enough.

He said that he knows once he's done healing he'll want to be friends, that he doesn't want me out of his life, but he doesn't know beyond that. I don't think I can just be friends. I don't think I can watch him eventually move on. I think it will break my heart all over again. This also makes me feel guilty as hell! I sometimes imagine being friends with him and eventually getting back together with him after being friends for a while. Then I realize, the only reason I'd want to be friends with him is for that reason and not to be actual friends and that just feels messed up.

Extra info: in therapy, working on myself and recently diagnosed with ADHD, started meds. No plans to date or anything until I feel more sorted out (though my god I understand the rebound draw). I'm trying out new hobbies. I am fine, this is just my first real break up and I wish things could be more black and white emotionally.

Newbie here, gearing up for my first backpacking trip. I have been collecting a combination of new and used items and researching the best I can. I'll be taking the Salmon Creek Trail (Mt Hood National Forest) next weekend and was wondering about the best way to store food? I am currently thinking about getting a second hand bear cannister but it looks like it would take a lot of space in my pack and the ones I see one facebook marketplace I think are all around 2.5 lbs? I just don't trust my ability to properly hang a bear bag and I don't want to spring for an Ursack yet until I am sure I like the hobby.
