Edit2: Writing this from Pop_Os! I had experience with Mint for my Self hosting rig and wanted to see other pastures. Decided to rearrange my three drives, two of them are still Windows, another I emptied and dedicated to Pop OS.

"Dominion of Darkness” is a strategy/RPG text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various...

Using my touchpad seems to act as if it’s a joystick - If I touch the edges it acts like I’ve pulled the joystick to the far edge of its movement, etc. sort of like how a steam controller’s touchpads work when emulating a joystick.
