Could you believe people were travelling at a speed of 285 km/h (177 mph) 60 years ago?

EDIT: I made a mistake! The maximum speed of 285 km/h belongs to the modern trains which are used today. The first generation of Shinkansen reached 210 km/h (130 mph) instead, which is still very fast but not as crazy as I first thought.

Question: Is using paperclips a worse alternative? I've found them useful for those sim pinholes but im not entirely sure if its good practice

When an app supports linux, it can do so by either:

packaging it for popular distro repositories,
giving instructions on how to build the app from the source code

or

package it on distro-agnostic, package management solutions like flatpak or appImage.

These last ones are sandboxed environments. That means they have their own dependencies isolated from your system, so they dont have to deal with every distros pecularities at the cost of using more storage space. This is very useful for developers and in your case benefitial for the user because you can have both steam and zoom via flatpak on mint, arch or any obscure distro that has flatpak available, without any major problems.
