That’s a good point and something I haven’t really considered but will keep that in mind moving forward - that’s part of my problem is not really being aware of what already exists or the most suitable method (or for different distros).

That’s what ended up getting me into trouble on Bazzite when I was attempting to use Fedora documentation thinking it’s similar and broke boot trying to mess with fstab. Only recently found out why that didn’t work!

Oh, thanks will look into those, might be a good alternative!

New Zealand.

Maggi Onion Soup (powdered soup mix), reduced cream, a splash of malt vinegar. Mix and cool in fridge to set.

Scoop and press between two potato chips of your choosing.

Trump is preparing the us for invasion. Invasion by Russia. Exhaust the military supplies, run the world’s fuel supply dry so that tanks etc are useless and no one can come help, then Russia, still flush with oil can walk in with their remaining hardware unopposed

Think of something you’ve never mentioned or discussed before, then out of nowhere, start having a conversation with a friend about it, how much you like it and are thinking about getting it, taking lessons etc then see what happens over the next week on either your or your friend’s ads (turn off ad blocker if you use one).

I recommend something completely unusual for most people like an instrument (didgeridoo or cowbell)

I’ve seen the same, it was fixed by selecting a different color profile under display settings

Only possible explanation for these responses: Elmo is the true alpha here, both Peterson and Taite were traumatized as children/teens when they came home from school one day and walked in on Elmo, fur-deep in their mum with their father huddled in the corner crying.

This is the ONLY possible explanation for raging at a children’s puppet like this.

Too little, too fucking late!

I second this, it’s why I went with Bazzite on my main rig - it just needs to work and be reliable. The last thing I want to be doing in my spare time is funking around trying to fix anything that happens to break.

All my other devices run whatever I feel like so I can scratch that curiosity-itch but they get reinstalled if anything major breaks and I can’t fix it in a reasonable amount of time

Oh, look at that - someone attached an “unpopular” (for Congress) addition to a bill, and instead of sinking the entire bill to the bottom of the ocean, they simply removed it and moved forward.

Here I am having watched American politics for the past 20 years believing that once something is attached, it can’t be removed. Every bill I’ve read about that would prevent babies dying gets something akin to “Presidential Pedo Protection Act” attached. I’ve never seen the discussion that the PPPA section can be removed so instead they must veto the entire bill.

Shutting down altogether is the best option for ATC but for the next best thing, I’d want to start redirecting planes to other airports - I can’t imagine the logistics would work but anyway… One in ten flights gets a “surprise” location. If all other airports did the same thing. Each week it increases, 2/10, 3/10 etc until no one gets their destination.

I hate to say it but it’s working. First the mass-debater got “2A raptured,” this gave them the push-start they needed, now the administration is using this clown to dump the clutch and crank the starter.

Soon, the engine will fire into life again and the Epstein files will be a distant memory in the rear view mirror.

Killswitch Engage’s Atonement album has some excellent tracks with RATM-esque lyrics incl Crownsless King

So far, so good but I haven’t really thought about it since. It may not suit a purist, hardcore or someone who tweaks their system endlessly but for someone like me, I don’t want to spend me free time fiddling, breaking, then fixing my home gear.

Until Win10, I never liked to “upgrade” any OS, preferring a clean slate approach and from what I understand, that’s what I’ll get here. A clean new OS with each upgrade that eliminates any gradual degradation due to a build up of clutter and abandoned packages. All while the flat packs and my data/config reside safely in the use partition (anyone, let me know if I’ve got this wrong!)

Thanks! I’m genuinely encouraged by learning Linux. That’s why I’ve been documenting things here, to share with those like me who have tried before or hesitant to make the jump.

Agree - software is the greatest blocker these days. My recent software restriction was simply a tool I was only using for study.

I was still skeptical that it would be so easy as I’ve been burnt before by Linux on YouTube or articles that exclaim just how easy it is but I usually run into at least a couple of major issues that become a pain to overcome. Not so this time! Every PC I’ve cut over during this process has been painless.

Literally the only issue I’ve had to date was my monitor not waking from sleep - a minor fault that was fixed by selecting any colour profile that wasn’t the default.

As long as you are domain joined, group policy will get rid of all that BS (I think that’s the requirement, I’ve been out of ops for a couple of years now and the memories are fading fast!). These days, that’s the only way to make Win11 somewhat decent.

Definitely no hate for Arch, just me being a smart arse ;)
