Just did that a couple of weeks ago, myself! Bought the cheapest deck when it was on sale just recently. It's kind of ridiculous how much space I have on there: 66 games installed, including chonkers like Baldur's Gate 3 and Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and I've still got like 700 gigs free.

As a dude with very sparse body hair, threads like these always make me feel like I won the genetic lottery.
Nah, it's better than radio because now they can track you and sell your data, including everything they get from your phone, to the highest bidder.
CherryTree is way clunkier, IMO, and has too many irrelevant options that get in the way, particularly around formatting. Obsidian is just markdown, so you don't have the option of spending 15 minutes trying to figure out why code blocks are showing up as dark text on light background even though you're in dark mode, which was my last experience in CherryTree. Looking and cross referencing documents is also super easy; I'm not sure if CherryTree even does that.
is not out yet, but development seems to be moving quickly; it's one to keep an eye on
I'm on Garuda, primarily becausei built a new machine with a (then) bleeding edge GPU, so I needed something rolling release that could make use of it. I tried a few others, including Endeavour and Nobara, but Garuda got me farthest along on its own.
SyncThing is fantastic; I use it for Obsidian files and also for password manager databases.
In general, I'm opposed to the idea. College professors don't work for free, and colleges have to pay them.
Professors don't make up near as much of the bill as the administrators and coaches that pull down 7-figure salaries. There's almost as much bloat in the US University system as in US Healthcare. The answer to both is the same: they should ideally be free. Failing that, it should be illegal for either to be profitable businesses.
Vim is sorcery: you choose mystic incantations from your eldritch knowledge on the fly and suddenly your text is doing exactly what you want.
The question you're responding to isn't about the mobile app for Firefox; it's about the mobile app for Amazon. Apparently lots of other people misread that too, so at least you're in good company.
Nope, they have a ton of stores with lots of different names: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroger#chains
I suspect that if you see their branded products, you're in one of their stores.
Different people play D&D in different ways, which is one of the coolest and most frustrating things about the hobby: there's a group out there for everyone, but at the same time finding the right group can be painful.
It sounds like there's a couple of things going on here: first, your DM seems to be off the classic dungeon crawl variety. This was how most games were for me Back In The Day, and the hobby originally came out of wargaming, so I feel like it's not unexpected, particularly in Pathfinder, which is much more "combat rules" than 5e.
Next, your DM is new. It takes a long time to get used to running a game. It can be pretty stressful trying to make sure you've got content to fill the four hour slot for your friends, and particularly in rules-heavy games one of the easiest things to do is just prep a combat encounter, 'cause that'll take a lot of time. For me, I know my players well enough that I can count on them spending an hour talking to some previously-inconsequential NPC, and they trust me enough to be okay with going in the direction I gently nudge them, most of the time.
So I guess long story short is: don't give up on TTRPGs. Whether or not to give up on the game you're in is up to you. You've got options:
You could talk to the DM. Letting them know what you like might be more effective than telling them what you don't; some people can get defensive.
You could take the plunge and offer to run a oneshot (which will almost immediately be more than a single session). Showing the DM what you like instead of just telling them can be really effective, and who knows, maybe you'll even like it?
You could find a different group. If you're in a town or city of any decent size, there are likely other gamers around; maybe another group will suit you better.
