Gaming is not so bad on Linux but I wish I'd never bought any pro audio plugins for my home recordings. It's going to be a colossal waste of money and unfinished recording projects when I decide to get rid of Windows for good.
If your plugins are VST2/VST3, then I can wholeheartedly recommend yabridge as a tool for using Windows plugins on Linux.

We're in the housing hunt right now and we're losing to all-cash offers and ridiculous terms (like months of rent-free to the previous occupany: those sort of terms don't come from someone looking for a new place to live). We even lost on two offers where we were the high bid. We have pre-approval, solid financing and were willing to even waive the appraisal. It's not enough.
I went though exactly that, and it's disheartening, indeed. I was fortunate enough to finally get my financed offer accepted, but only because the sellers were explicitly rejecting cash offers from investors. It was a family home, and they wanted it to go to someone who would maintain and live in it. Keep looking, keep trying, and maybe you'll get lucky too.

The main thing I've noticed on HN is that having a contrarian mindset is rewarded, even in situations where it doesn't add to the conversation. If you read the two examples the author gave, he's actually being reflexively contrarian, not a know-it-all. In my opinion, that's the "toxic" behavior he's trying to identify, not personal attacks or glib jabs.
"Reflexively contrarian" is an excellent way to describe this phenomenon. I think you've hit the nail on the head.
