It's the "with which we are okay" that sounds a little stilted. Most speakers would probably phrase that part of the sentence as "which we're okay with." It's just because "okay with" is so common that it almost feels like a transitive form of the verb "to be okay," so splitting apart sounds odd.

Note that there's already a different transitive verb "okay" which means "approve" or "authorize," as in "the boss okayed your plan to use the forklift," implying that the person doing this has authority or control over whether the thing happens. "I'm okay with it" by contrast typically means something like "I have no control over it but it also doesn't trouble me." "Unfazed by" (spelled in this way, not related to "phase") would be a similar expression.

Kinda feels like moving out of America ought to be covered by my health insurance, really

The code name of the first Steam Box, before it was released, was Piston, which fits the theme pretty well. e.g. https://www.polygon.com/2013/1/7/3849284/piston-valve-steam-box-xi3

Switching my phone screen to black and white actually does help, but the temptation to switch back is powerful.

I don't think it's most yet, but it's improving fast thanks to the Valve Steam Deck. Bazzite is probably the distro to look at for a machine that's primarily for gaming; it's based on the Steam Deck OS, but works on more machines. There are some high-profile games like Fortnite that won't run on it, but a lot of stuff will, especially if it doesn't rely on any fancy anti-cheat stuff.

Wasn't the phrase supposed to be "Primus sucks"? I seem to remember that being a self-identification thing for fans back in the day.
