That looks more like actual clothing than a lot of things at a fashion show

I loved sync for reddit, and even paid for the ad-free version on Lemmy, but I'm on summit now. Dev attentiveness and interaction is a 180 from the sync dev, and summit is great to use

Are any self-cleaning cat litter boxes any good, or worth the money?
Bought a litter robot 4, wouldn't do it again for the price. It's a pain to clean and the cats are always peeing/pooping on the sides. It constantly stopped it cleaning cycle, and ended up growing a ton of bugs inside because the design had some cat poop inside the machine where I couldn't get to it. I had to dismantle the entire thing taking out every screw to clean it. It's currently sitting in my basement. I left a similar review on their website and they decided not to post it, I guess they don't like unfavorable reviews.

How often do you feed your cat wet food compared to dry food?
Our cats get wet food morning and night, and dry food available all day. They munch on the dry food occasionally, but they are now in love with wet. ~6oz of wet food per day for each of them

He wasn't ready for that distro
I tried Gentoo recently and I really liked it when I finally figured everything out. I wanted the latest packages similar to arch, but I was basically spending at least an hour every time I started my computer updating. I still really like Gentoo, but it just isn't for me right now. I appreciate what it taught me about Linux though

It's snooze length. If you're setting a snooze length more than 30 minutes you should probably just set a new alarm

Pixel owners, what are your thoughts about GrapheneOS?
I tried it out on my Pixel 8 Pro but I'm back on stock. I'm trying to be more privacy focused, but I use a lot of Google apps still, so I had almost everything enabled from Google anyways, so I might as well stay on stock for now. It was neat, but I didn't notice any battery improvements, which is also what I was looking for

I had a dream about windows and have decided to setup Linux on my laptop. What distro should I use?
I've been using arch for years, but finally removed my windows install a week ago and ended up on opensuse tumbleweed. It's rolling release like arch (so there's never a need to reinstall or have a big update once a year) and it has some extra fail-safes for when updates go wrong (there's an automated QA that tries to find package breaks before they're pushed for updates, and they have a tool called snapper that let's you revert back to a working state if you run into problems)

What was your latest improvement to your Linux setup?
Reinstalled Arch. I had used Arch way back in 2006, but fell out of Linux because I primarily game. Now that proton has improved so much, I dropped my windows install completely. I have tumbleweed on my desktop but decided to try a real Arch install on my laptop. I appreciate how easy tumbleweed was to create an encrypted lvm with snapper rollback, but wanted to understand it a little more instead of having a GUI do it all for me.
Last night I successfully installed Arch with an "luks on lvm" setup, and was able to successfully boot! I didn't quite get snapper working 100% either rEFInd, but I think I'm close.
I definitely appreciate how easy Linux is to install now, but it's good to know I can do it the hard way if I need to, and learn some things along the way.

How happy are you with your current distro?
Reply in thread
My Framework 16 is arriving Monday! And I use Tumbleweed on my desktop. I currently use clonezilla every couple days and am starting to mess around with some other distros, but I keep coming back to Tumbleweed. My desktop is mostly for gaming, and it has pretty new hardware, so I like to have more leading edge packages.
I keep trying NixOS, and while I like it and it's cool, I have a mouse capture issue in World of Warcraft that I just can't solve, so it's taking a back seat. Also tried Bazzite, but had some issues during install, so didn't try it much. Currently trying endeavour, I've been using Arch off and on since 08, it's nice.
But Tumbleweed just works. It has sane defaults, updates frequently, has snapper just in case something goes wrong (but other distros can do that too), has yast for people that like it, but I've been trying to run some benchmarks between endeavour and Tumbleweed and I can't really tell a difference.
