Yo, why do they want the Caribbean? They already have P.R. and they treat it like an S.T.D. they're ignoring.

Don't. I used to hike around the southern states for fun. Currently residing in one. The border patrol goons are just headhunting to fill quotas now. Anybody is game. I myself am planning my move out of country right now. Even the magats are not safe and are willing to sacrifice themselves for their hateful ideals.

I think I've put fedora on at least 4 personal systems and it has never caused an issue. It's so smooth it's boring in the best way. Switched to it for daily computing about 4 years ago. I use a minipc as a media server with Arch and turning it on it's exciting. Just this fucking morning the default configuration decided that my main audio device was a microphone. Lovely. So flexible.

Let me fix your headline "Sitting incumbents too comfortable to do their jobs annoyed that they are being pushed to do their jobs."

It's a headache but it's your headache.

Fiber. Truly, up your fiber intake. The only time it won't stain and linger is when it gathers in on itself.

I'm not even sure why I'm bothering with this comment.

Oh boy. That thing is the steering wheel of the Windows system.

With bottles, boxes, and all the other small environment virtualization solutions available right now, switching to Linux with a few 'almost native' Windows application is easier than ever. The mileage will vary from distro to distro. I've managed to get bottles to run some annoyingly old statistics software I need for work. It works great. Sometimes it can be a bit of a headache to figure out where the software saves files but playing detective for a file somewhere in the system is better than enduring all that Windows imposes on the user.

Handwritten assignments are going to make a comeback. It's hard to cheat through an essay you have to write on the spot.

It still feels like magic at times. The SteamDeck is my backlog steamrolling machine (pun intended). Almost every game in my library that I either forgot about or feels wasteful to play on my high-end desktop, runs amazing. I'm replaying Brutal Legend just because it runs so smoothly on my deck.

When they came out with SteamOS the first time, it felt so good to have a games run on Linux without fiddling with Wine. Those were dark times. The few people making an effort to run their games with the tools they had available where really putting in work to make it happen.

God, I remember searching the ends of the internet to get Starcraft running at some point. I managed to kinda get it going but it might have taken a few days of troubleshooting silly things.

If you've been at it for 8 years, I appreciate your efforts.

Dwarf Fortress is my favorite abstinence method. I abstain from leaving the house on the weekends.

You're comment I came looking for. You get a standing ovation or something.

This. LineageOS on any device that supports it immediately improves said device x10.

I have an old as hell Galaxy tablet that had slowed down to a crawl after a few years. With LineageOS it's usable again.

Couldn't be more right. I went 100% on GoG after not being able to play the Steam games I wanted to play during an internet outage because of dumb always online requirement.

Yeah, refuting an argument by saying "other stuff is at fault" is the work of a true well educated and informed intellectual.

Even the building is kinda cool.

Yup on 4. Mess at all with the hostfile and Windows Defende won't stop harassing you about a threat. User autonomy is a threat to Windows.

Right!? Almost everything I need is one dnf command away with minimal setup on my part.

My most played game over the last few years has been a timer I use to study for my statistics degree. With the steamdeck, I find myself hopping from game to game just to see how my oldies run. I might play 20 hours a week across 20 different games. Then do a 9-5 stint with the pomo timer on to do get projects going.

If you have ADHD The Legend of Pomodoro is not the cure but it makes getting difficult things done manageable. It's pretty much an idler.
