Not true either because Autodesk, Adobe, MMOs and others had online software to buy. Steam did not invented anything new, only copy preexisting ideas.

I recently bought a windows 8 era laptop with a pretty bad pentium and 4gb of ram. I was wondering what distro would be the best purely on the basis of getting the most performance out of the laptop. I'm basically a complete novice at using linux, but windows 10 ltsc isnt cutting it so I figured its time to branch out and try something new.

You've got more than enough horsepower for any distro with the KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment, which will give you basically the Windows GUI except without eating up all your RAM. If you're not interested in tinkering, there's several choices! The question is what sort of update frequency do you want?
>I want updates very, very, very rarely
Go with Debian KDE
>I want updates maybe once a week or month
Go with Manjaro KDE
>I want updates ASAP
CachyOS if and only if your CPU supports x86_64_v3

I too had to install Linux on an old laptop and worried that I needed to install a lightweight distro. So I did, only to discover I had a comically large amount of headroom lol. Windows trains you into believing your hardware is inadequate when it is not. So I put a Plasma distro on this bitch and it's been smooth sailing ever since. In the Linux world, lightweight doesn't mean it'll run on a 10yo laptop, but a 20yo laptop, so I doubt you will find yourself stretched thin on the CPU side with Plasma. But if that does end up being the case, consider using the Xfce desktop environment instead.

There's multiple ways. First is this from the website; you paste this into the terminal and you are done:
sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core

sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://brave-browser-rpm-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser.repo

sudo dnf install brave-browser

The second way is you download the Brave Flatpak from your preferred app store. I believe there may also be an .rpm installers you can download from the GitHub, but don't quote me on that.

>>107736862
Thanks for the advice. Any considerations for running any of these on the same drive? As far as I've researched, all you have to do is partition out the drive for each and it all should be fine. I don't plan on updating my windows install ever so I don't think I will have problems with the boot managers fighting each other.

I just bought a 32Gib 512nvme i7-9850H quadro t1000 with a 4k panel for $400 on eBay (and uncle sam fucked me for 40 in taxes and 20 in shipping)--and I am regretting it and wish I bought the cheaper $330 1080p 48gib option but bought this one because I thought that the 4k panel might be good since 1080p is a bit bad for split screen latex but am now regretting it since it will
- Drain battery faster (might take up 20% extra)
- Be a pain to use because I will be forced to set it to 200% scaling for a good experience with my external 1080p monitors (probably, I have never used 4k but xorg will likely strangle me too)
- Cost more
- Doesn't have as much ram
- At 15.6" and normal sitting, I probably won't ever notice

I don't think it has been shipped yet but also don't want to try to return it since that might make me an asshole...I will have to go check if the seller even accepts returns...

I am really crying over this...why is life so hard?

You are having an emotional melt down over something that has not really happened yet. Like a slow motion car crash.
1. Try and cancel the order stating you have reservations that the new system might not be for you. It's not really an asshole move to make, people do it all the time.
2. Return the item, in perfect condition (otherwise you are an asshole), if you evaluate it and decide it doesn't work for you. It will probably cost you postage or something.
3. Deal with it and change up how you work. Maybe you will learn to love it.
4. You get anxiety attacks? Maybe learn how to deal with that.

>>107736803
>3. Deal with it and change up how you work. Maybe you will learn to love it.
I intend on doing that since it seems like the most reasonable thing to do and the seller doesn't accept returns, making 1 and 2 not apply.

>4. You get anxiety attacks? Maybe learn how to deal with that.
My learning is in progress and I think I have been getting notably better over the past year and a half. I think I'm mostly worried because this is a very large sum of money to me and I seldomly make any purchases--not even small ones.

>>107736915

Stop the tranny shit.

You aren't a woman.

Trying to become one won't work and it won't make your life any better. You have to work with the hand you were dealt with.

You are not a "trans woman" as compared to a "cis woman". They are women and you are a man.

Does it suck? Maybe, yeah. In modern society they have it all and we don't have shit unless we get it by force. But you have to keep a stoic attitude toward that fact and cope with the life and the body your metaphorical soul happened to land into.

And if I need to patch something, I want it tested prior to mainline release, not to be AI-slop shoveled out the door from mumbai.
