Linux distro for gaming

My Debian 12 all of a sudden started freezing up on me. any kind folks that can help troubleshoot?
Its the strangest thing, as it just started recently. I’m honestly not sure if it freezes or my touchpad somehow gets disabled.

For those using IDM, consider File Centipede (Also available on Linux)

In all that is wrong with recycling to begin with, do I even need to put cardboard and paper into recycling; or does it just break down easily in all the garbage?
Edit to say - I’m really glad I asked my stupid question. I was so jaded by the con artists in recycling I forgot that when done right there’s so much good - and still loads of consequences to not finding a place to reuse the paper products. I’m not huge with using packaging - and thanks for all the thoughtful answers :))...

What are up votes (uplemmies?) actually for?

YSK there are sites that offer you a temporary email address for signing up for services that require one (like some Lemmy servers)
They work by giving you a random email address that is available for a short time (ex. 10min) and an inbox for any messages you recieve during that time (ex. an email verification message from a Lemmy server)...
YSK: Feel like you only see the same 2-day old content? At least on lemmy.world, you can change your homepage's default sorting type & scope to "Hot" and "All"
