I have been toying with the idea of forking Servo to make a scriptable keyboard-driven browser, like Nyxt but with something else instead of Lisp.
Probably too huge of a project for one hooman though.

Indeed it is! That is why we are blessed to have its power obscured by an incomprehensible CLI, aside from a few most common use cases. Still very worth it though.
If you work a lot with plain-text files (markdowns, office documents CSV etc.) try learning Git. It is a version control tool - it keeps timestamped versions of your documents, so if you edit something wrong, or delete a wrong file you can bring it back by “checking out” a previous version.
It’s a software development tool originally, so learning it might be daunting for a lot of folks - fear not, download a graphical Git client app and look up some tutorials.
I promise once you get the hang of it, it will be hard to imagine doing anything without it.
One of those tools I wish were more popular among people who are not into software/engineering.
No idea honestly, I have no experience with Fedora and this toolkit seems to be designed for Steam Deck. At this point I’d try looking for an answer in the toolkits source files - it’s all essentially a bunch of bash scripts moving files around between Proton prefixes, AFAIK
I got my GOG Oblivion running with a mod pack by installing and running Vortex. I ended up using this utility: https://github.com/pikdum/steam-deck/
It allows you to install Vortex in your game Proton prefix (you have to run it at least once for said prefix to exist). Then, after installing mods through Vortex, you use the ‘post-deploy’ script to synchronize some files, and your game is ready.
If you are having trouble, there is also a guide from steam community: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2941631681
The guide is for Skyrim, in my case it worked fine with Oblivion - I have to believe it should with NV as well.
Good luck!
My first encounter with Linux was in 2007, I installed Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon on my dad’s computer out of curiosity - I was intrigued by a notion of free OS you can deeply customize.
I have spent countless hours fiddling with the system, mostly ricing (Compiz Fusion totally blew my mind) and checking out FOSS games.
Decades later I switched to Linux full-time. After 12 years of daily driving OS X and working as a developer, I wanted a customizable and lean OS that is easy to maintain and control. Chose Arch, then Nix, havent looked back ever since.
TIL, thank you!

Go on, my siblings, make this paper happy!
Thank you, I thought they were referring to one of my former classmates.
Try harder!
It’s okay, Elon, we all know you try the hardest.

Check out Typst (a newer TeX-like layout engine) if you have time, I’m interested in your opinion. I find it a bit simpler to use than TeX.
Oh sorry, I was too focused on calling out the silliness of the idea.
Why on Earth would you curse yourself with MS Office anyway, especially if writing docs is your professional responsibility?
Why not use Git+Markdown+Pandoc, have your copy, data and layout separate?
I understand that a lot of istitutions/companies impose stylistic/technical requirements for docs and publications, - still doesn’t mean you gotta stay married to the worst tooling.
If I can afford it, I buy a freshly-baked baguette and eat it with a glass of whole milk.
