Can you imagine the shit-storm this would produce in Europe if a country decided to actually protect their borders?

I've got a somewhat older PC running a xeon processor with a 750 Ti GPU. It's currently running windows 10 for reasons, but I now want to change that. My main machine doesn't really play nicely with Linux and it's currently setup elsewhere for my vive besides (I have linux on it, but I want to use it for the vive, does steam vr work on linux yet?) but what distro is being recommended right now for good gaming experiences?
I'm tempted by steam os, I'm inclined to use Mint or Ubuntu, but (and this isn't supposed to start a flame war) whilst I've used most distros under the sun, I want something with as little fuss and best response as possible and my Linux experiences are a bit out of date

30 men (and 1 woman) are being charged with mass rape and trafficking of 5 girls in Yorkshire. 12 of them cannot be named for 'legal reasons'.
Place your bets now, folks, about the ethnicity of the unknown 12!
The usual roundup of truly british names like muhammad, usman and abdul are amongst the 30 scumbags fucking children, so it's anybody's guess what the remaining 12 are like.

This post isn't going to be anything earth-shattering. Given how I framed the question "should I even do it", you may even find it disappointingly mediocre in shock value, so if so, I can only apologize for getting your hopes up. For the rest of you who are interested in reading a personal tale of how today's social climate has personally affected somebody, read on.
HISTORY
I'm not young. I'm not old, but I'm not young. A little over twenty years ago -- just before the EU really took off into the proto-superstate it is now borging into -- I left my home country of Britain to find my own way in the world.
I didn't go to uni because I was dumb. I had a place, before the fees

I'm English. I don't live in England currently, I live elsewhere in Europe. I'm not really interested in discussing exactly where because I value my privacy, but who would be interested in a relatively long, relatively detailed post about how I, personally (along with family and friends) have been affected by unchecked mass migration?
I fear it'll come off as one of those anecdotal "and then everybody clapped and the mayor gave me a medal" bullshit stories, mostly as I will not be providing evidence other than a frank discussion (minus identifying information), but if there is interest, I'm offering.
I can edit this post, or I can post another if there is interest. I'll delete it promptly

Rafael Avila de Espindola has announced he will leave (has left, technically) the LLVM project despite being one of its top contributors for something like 12 years because of the oppressive new social justice programs put into place.
Hot on the heels of FreeBSD making it clear that they would rather spend money on feminist evangelists than actually coding things, with a "core team" that released an unasked for, unreviewed and heavily unwanted new code of conduct that made it clear coding whilst male would no longer be allowed, yet another organization that once cared about quality of code has instead decided to count vaginas

in a This Week In Cultural Enrichment entry, apparently Germany is reaping the benefits of having less migrants enter the country as crime rates drop in this post in DW .
The chairman of the German Police Officers' Union, Oliver Malchow, ... said a large part of the drop was related to the fact that fewer asylum-seekers have come to Germany. ... "since the report started in 1993, we have not recorded such a large decline."

Apparently being programmed by cis hetero white male scum means even the AI interviewing robot designed to decolonize the job market will be racist, says some fucking muppet at the daily beast.
I don't know what we should do, just kill all white men and immediately decolonize and emasculate all computing and all jobs everywhere forever?

Recently I saw a post on how SJW's have infected FreeBSD. This on the heels of several years worth of shitty coders and self-appointed gatekeepers of morality causing a stink in the Linux kernel and finding their unhelpful, unwanted attitudes getting them a cold shoulder.
They spent quite a time dragging the names of various people through the mud (and trying to drag the entire OSS scene through the same shit) but in general actual coders (be they black, white, green, orange, female or apache attack helicopter) don't actually give a shit.
All it does it chase off the good guys who can't stand bullshit.
Anyway, for an example of how toxic and pointless this sort of shit is, I present exh

I'm not very good with the old archivers, so forgive me for the direct link, but https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/bbc-pay-review-will-give-men-more-rises-than-women-plsgjpf6z is just plain hilarious.
After an internal review on gender and pay disparity caused by complaints of discrimination from some female members of staff, it appears that the BBC has been illegally paying many men too little.
Queue feminist outrage.

to probably the surprise of nobody, the piece of shit that got an innocent man killed is being charged with involuntary manslaughter. My guess had been either going for murder to get a plea deal, or just plain going for the one they know they can make stick with is indeed manslaughter -- ie his actions directly lead to the man being shot in the head and dying.
Maybe this will stop it, but somehow I doubt it. After all, school shootings keep on happening so why not this?

In This Week In Cultural Enrichment (TWICE), we have (suspected, not yet confirmed) cultural enrichment via hand grenade.
A 60 year old man was cycling near the metro station in Vårby Gård with his partner when he apparently came into contact with a live hand-grenade. He was badly injured in the blast, and actually died in hospital.
In recent years, Sweden has seen a rise in violent deaths from hand grenades used in gang warfare, and also a rise in attacks on innocent civilians as well as the police, a good deal of them from countries we have grown to know as cultural enrichment sources.

A student protesting donald trump by walking out into a highway managed to get hit by a car. Apparently she thinks that it wasn't her responsibility to not walk out into a highway and thereby get struck by a car that was driving on the highway.

An innocent man originally accused of rape, eventually exonerated, had his indefinite ban on having sex (without notifying police 24 hours beforehand) slightly overturned... he now only has to notify police 24 hours in advance when he wants to have sex for the next two years!
Isn't that great!
I mean I know the judge called this innocent man "dangerous" and denied said innocent man a basic human right, but at least it's only for two years! Maybe! Unless the police petition to have it extended!
