I use jabref and this extension quite heavily. I can assure you that it does send the URL to jabref; it gets added as a Misc reference with the site URL in the optional fields. On my firefox / windows system it does show greyed out in the plugins menu like you say, however it adds a jabref logo in the address bar which can be clicked (or alt+shift+j) to send to jabref.
I just tried it on my linux system though, and it doesn’t work for me, either. Suspect some sandboxing weirdness because I have jabref as a flatpak but firefox running natively. I’m just coming back to linux from a few years hiatus so I’m hoping someone better than me at this can check in.
Jabref does have some troubleshooting steps for their extension that might be worth trying though, depending on your install.

I’ve been using linux desktop for a year or so now. One noteable thing i keep seeing is that one person will say I dont like XYZ distrobution because of its base.

That’s really hard to answer definitively without context. Obvs there’s the kernel, but that’s similar enough across distros that it’s not really a point of contention that I know of. At a guess it might mean the distro it’s “based” on, but that in itself could mean a few different things. There’s stuff like package management, which you mentioned, and init style. That’s where things get complicated.
Like, Mint is based on Ubuntu, which itself is based on Debian. They share DEB / APT for package management and use systemd for init. OTOH, there’s stuff like OpenSuse, which is originally based on SlackWare, but uses RPM (like redhat) for package management. OpenSuse uses systemd, but I think RedHat uses upstart and SlackWare uses a BSD-style init. It’s been a while since I checked in on those last two.
Of course they could also mean something like choice of desktop environment (as in “A Gnome-based distribution”), default package selection (what the installer refers to as a “base” install). They could mean the general philosophy or release schedule (rolling vs. point release). Or they could even be referring to the userbase (as in; “I use Arch, btw”).
IIRC, holding space flips it from left side of the keyboard to right side. You can see the letters in small print at the center of the keys. The idea being it makes use of existing right hand muscle memory, just mirrored.
Or a weird experiment in efficiency, where you’re running like 15 nacelles or whatever, but the way the individual fields line up it ends up being more than the sum of it’s parts so it only actually takes 1/2 the power of a standard design.

I’m in a similar situation with my partner; she does game, but only shitty repetitive predatory mobile puzzle games. I got her Stardew to try and she absolutely hated it. I have, however, had some limited success with puzzle RPGs like Ticket to Earth.
First game of this style that i really enjoyed. The characters actually feel and play differently, the mechanics make sense and finding synergies is so much fun. My favourite is the silent but I’m not actually that good; haven’t finished the game yet but have gotten damn close a couple times.
It’s the only MMO I still play regularly after three years. That said, I hesitate to outright recommend it. It’s fairly niche, and kinda still recovering from a disastrous DLC launch a couple years ago. It’s in a pretty good place now but confidence in the playerbase is still a little shaken. Mechanics-wise there’s a lot built up over the years that just aren’t explained at all in-game, so the learning curve is more of a sheer cliff face. OTOH, the community is honestly one of the most supportive I’ve ever experienced; even the griefers will chat with you after blowing you up and explain how to avoid it next time. And having the entire physically modelled milky way to explore is honestly an amazing experience. I’d suggest checking out a few streams to suss out if it’s for you, streamers are generally lovely and happy to chat with and help out new and prospective players.
That’s one of the things that’s not explained, related to the DLC launch. There are a few different versions of the game. The console version is considered legacy and is functionally “disconnected” from the live version. It no longer receives updates outside of the occasional security or stability patch. Only PC is receiving new content. If you can get it for free it’s a good way to test out the general gameplay, but most of the community is on PC these days.
I left the headline like the original, but I see this as a massive win for Apple. The device is ridiculously expensive, isn’t even on sale yet and already has 150 apps specifically designed for that....
As much as I enjoy hating on Apple, their track record popularising niche technology is admittedly pretty good. They made mp3 players mainstream, then everyone else scrambled to catch up. They made smartphones mainstream, then everyone scrambled to catch up. I wouldn’t be surprised if they managed to pull off the same thing with VR/AR. Just don’t mention the Newton.
This is one of those utterly brilliant games that I absolutely hate playing. They had a goal, and achieved it with flying colours. It’s just too bad that goal was to create a thoroughly unpleasant, tense, frightening, harrowing experience. I had to put it down and never, ever come back to it.
I just finished The Invincible. Runs like dogshit on my system (i5-9600 16Gb/RX6650XT 8Gb), but very engaging for a walking simulator. About ten hours long and very little replay value unless you’re a completionist. Recommended if that sounds like your cup of tea, but don’t pay full price.
I played the Steam version of the base game, with no DLC. I did not play the Spacer’s Choice “remaster” as it has a reputation for being broken and poorly put together. I played the game to completion on normal difficulty, completing most of the side quests, spending time with all my companions, and trying to get the most...
I really wanted to like this one. On paper it sounds like exactly my jam, but it just didn’t grab me. The whole game felt tedious. Mediocre combat, very little weapon variety (just different tiers of the same kind of gun). Finicky and overcomplicated skill system that still somehow didn’t feel like it made any impact on core gameplay, and I found the humour kind of simultaneously weak and overdone. The satire is heavy-handed, and the wackiness falls flat. I haven’t enjoyed a fallout game since 3 either though, so maybe my taste has changed without me realising.
No, I said I haven’t enjoyed one since 3. I tried NV because I really wanted more FO3, and I’ve seen enough videos to get why people like it, but I just didn’t. The crafting system and changes to combat mechanics felt too complicated at the time. Like, I had to go gather three different materials to build the ammo just to break one guy’s tank. I didn’t have any issue with the plot or writing, it just felt like busywork. Likewise with FO4, it’s a mile wide but an inch deep. There’s a ton of stuff to do, but very little reason to care about it. Like, yeah, some asshole stole my kid but I’m just gonna go spend however many hours building out this gas station. FO3 just felt like the perfect balance between grindy RPG mechanics and plot driven missions.
I have the same issue with a lot of modern RPGs. Like in Cyberpunk 2077 there’s all this narrative pressure because you’re dying and it seems like that should be an urgent problem to solve, but the only way to get the “best” ending is to spend as much time as possible doing unrelated sidequests and levelling up. FO3 just felt like there was always a reason you were doing what you were doing.
