To be honest the CURRENT USA is less racist than most countries because of years of laws, amendments and consequences. More media visibility means you can't get away with some things that easily. But go visit some countries and you will see that some are denied human rights based on their religion/ethnic group (Myanmar), the raping and killing of albinos (Tanzania), mass expulsion of white people (Zimbabwe), blatant racial discrimination (South Korea, Honduras, India). The USA is heaven in comparison.

And I say this as somebody who is not white and not a US national. These problems are documented extensively. But I know Reddit likes to pick on the USA and call it hell. And don't get me started on homophobia. A lot of countries straight up imprison or kill people just for loving somebody the same sex as them. And there are places where people actually encourage that violence because what they perceive as a sin or against their personal belief system.

People like to talk a lot but they mostly live in their own bubble and don't investigate before making claims. If you're going to say something about the USA, talk about the health system or their World Police attitude.

I get incredibly frustrated with people that talk over me or don't let me enter a conversation or straight up make me feel like furniture in a conversation. I end up feeling like shit. My brother has told me to just enter the conversation confidently and say it again when I get interrupted, but when I do that, I either get interrupted again or get weird looks.

When used on SteamOS or Bazzite, you would never find this issue, because Steam is a core part of the system. But when used on other distros, like Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, etc., Steam sometimes updates silently. That means you don't see anything while it's updating. If your connection is slow, you would think Steam is simply not launching at all.

I reproduced this same thing on different distros and laptops. You can launch it through the terminal and there you would see visual feedback that it's updating. When it has finished, it launches. But then it's tied to that terminal window, and if you close it, it will close Steam.

Casual users will not do this. They will just think it doesn't work on Linux. And it could be solved by adding a progress bar window like on Windows. You always know it's going to launch because there is a visible small window telling you it's updating before it attempts to launch. The same issue happens independently of it being a .deb package, a repository install, a flatpak or a snap.

Valve could add visual feedback for the update.

I've experienced a lot of screen tearing while scrolling vertically. YouTube videos stutter. It's not my PC because it's a Linux certified Latitude 5480 with 8GB RAM. And these problems are completely absent when using KDE Plasma 6.6 with Wayland. This might be too technical for new users but the experience is felt when using it for such trivial tasks.

I'm on Bazzite, but sometimes it gets overwhelmed by the browser alone, especially if I'm working with documents and on a class meeting. I read about EndlessOS needing only 2GB but I'm not sure. And the other uBlue distros need 8GB or more. Bluefin needs 16GB, for example.
