Two extremes here. Debian is slow to update while arch is bleeding edge.

I avoid containerized desktop apps (snap, flatpak) so I couldn’t run Debian as a daily driver. You’d want to use the latest FireFox and their repo’s release is old. You you can get it from flatpak, but I don’t want to do that. Running on recent (<1y) hardware will also be problematic. I guess you could keep on adding 3rd party repos to your install, though some post from debian forums always stuck with me: “Debian is only what is released + whats in the official repo. Install anything else and you’re not running debian anymore.”. Its a whacky OS and I love it, but daily drive it only on my server.

Arch puts everything on their repo straight away. And if its not there, you’re downloading code from AUR and building it yourself. I actually appreciate this since it complies with the philosophy that you can’t really trust your applications unless you read the source and build it yourself. Awesome, but the general public shouldn’t be doing this… I don’t mind applications being distributed in binary form. I am able to trust linux community maintained repositories. Arch is for the geeks imo.

I found Fedora to be a good middle ground, since it gets package updates straight away while still maintaining fixed OS releases. No need for snap or flatpaks since their repo has everything and is updated. Its also widely supported by software vendors (just like debian). Id go with it as a recommendation, but still note that its philosophy is free software only and this can potentially mean tinkering with additional stuff from RPM fusion, especially if you dance with nvidia and watch videos encoded with non free codecs.

It takes a bit of time to find the right distro and that is the biggest obstacle to linux imo.

Its not a weed if its useful. It may just be a little “unwanted at the moment”.

How useful is this in the grand scheme of things if the applications themselves don’t have a 10ft UI? I guess you’d need to limit yourself and find apps specifically made to be shown on a TV… within a repository that caters desktop apps. Blending TV’s and desktops is hard…

My bank account and accomplishments say I’m 25. Check & mate.

I don’t game as much as I used to, but for the games I do play, I’m not seeing many (or any) problems. Video encoding with ffmpeg through nvenc works fine too.
Current issues I’m having are 3d acceleration in KVM under Wayland. Apparently it only works with nouveau? Not a deal breaker in any sense, just the latest observation.

This is the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. You may have seen it in movies like Forrest Gump.
Trump decided to paint it blue like a swimming pool and the job looks to be going bad.
Trump personally chose the color, contractors without asking anyone really or going through the proper channels like getting approval from congress and input from the public.
In the years to come, the blue pool will mark the time during which Trump was the president of the USA. Its visitors will look down upon their reflection and see blue, as if to say they were the ones who elected him.

Why say lot word when few word do trick?

It may have been a donation. Donating your body to science can result in you becoming a classroom skeleton, or blown up in the sky with a rocket. If you’re lucky enough, they put you in a field and let your body rot, while observing the process. You don’t really get a say in it, but cadavers are used for all sorts of things.

Living his best life.

Weird they didn’t do this from the start.

“I’m gonna fuck all y’all!”

Disregard that. I read something wrong… apparently it was about the store only and is old news.

I recently (a year ago) bought my first portable PS system, a Vita. Fantastic console, thriving ‘underground’ community. Just caught the tail end of all its online services working before they’ll be shut down this year.

Indian accent: “Alright mam, when you install this app, I will contact you tomorrow and we can proceed with the transfer. For security reasons, don’t tell anyone you received this call.”

The nice thing about large corporate environments is that you can hide and get away with doing very little. I was able to get large amounts of time allotted to small tasks, complete them in a day and slack off for the rest of the week, and still be rewarded for the “hard work”. In my off time, I actually worked on automating some of my work so it would be quicker to do next time. Of course, no one knew this because it was not planned anywhere.
The pay is lower and you learn less and become rusty in everything else. As such, it wasn’t a great environment for starting in, but would probably be a good environment to work the last few years in.

I have a Simple Plan for this.

Best part: every fridge in every house already does this. You just collect the money!

If it was a choice, don’t you think I’d try it? I’m not getting much luck on the other side!
