I guess it is American-specific (I'm from Belgium, lived a year in California 25 years ago): sport is one out of hundreds of options you have to take to get a full schedule in school. Everyday is the same day, be it monday or wednesday

VR Games - After years of DOS, then windows 9x, XP, 7, I switched to Xubuntu in 2012. The first 2 years were made of learning and experiencing, then I worked and played with my computer without ever thinking of switching back to Microsoft.

So, what about the 32 bit libraries needed to run my Steam-Proton games ? I heard it was going to be removed from 20.04, is it real ? If I upgrade my 18.04 installation, will it keep it ?
