Amen… never buy a house in a HOA if you plan to actually keep and payoff said house. Even if its a “good one”, they can and do change. All it takes is a vote for your $50/mo HOA to become $1000+/mo because they want to build a golf course or do custom street signs and a pool or whatever.
This absolutely annoys the heck out of me.
I didnt have access to good internet, this was back in dial-up era in the 90s and even though my pals had 56k, I was still on a very spotty 33k modem. I bought “Corel Linux” on disc(s) from Costco. It wasn’t particularly great, but I definitely learned a lot about getting linux to play nice with hardware!
This! Manjaro is most of the benefits of Arch (which SteamDeck runs) with easier installation and stability for common end users. One thing to note is that Nvidia drivers still suck on linux. You can make them work, but AMD cards tend to be pretty much plug and play these days
In theory, in the case of eminent domain you get the value of your home paid. In practice… its often not enough to actually buy a similar house.
