it really depends on what demands you are going to place upon the system…

gaming? have weird hardware? you’re gonna visit a command line and have to ‘research’ things…

but just basic tasks and well-supported hardware? many can give a mostly or even entirely ‘point and click’ experience.

i have a number of users on silverblue and endless that would be terrified if they ever had to open a terminal, and i rarely open a terminal on my own desktops (xfce manjaro, cinnamint, endless, silverblue)

we’re safe from that particular method here in the boonies. we’re lucky to even have one tower from any provider within range anywhere around here.

i know that big magic box in the food room has more.

the twin cities doesn’t have a ‘chinatown’ or a ‘little italy’–they have little canada

there used to be an addon to ‘fix’ that but i dunno if it still exists. it’s been awhile since i did a month of netflix.

it’s called “hate”. he peddles an endless supply, and enough of the ‘right’ people bought it, consumed it, and spread it to others. it’s a vicious cycle that has no end until his own.

still does.

drm on linux to watch commercial services like prime or netflix sucks. there is no browser or linux distribution that will give the same level of drm that a closed system’s native browser can (edge on windows, chrome on android, safari on mac/ios).

you can still watch most anything, just perhaps not with as high a quality and you may need to fudge a ua string or something.

vertical tabs have been in firefox since ~ v136.

just use firefox. tweak settings as necessary for your ‘needs’, including enabling the drm which is disabled by default by most distributions.

that’s when the two scales collide…

‘fucking cold’

it’s your fault. you’re the one that left the best part on top.

you have a bright future ahead of you in for-profit food service at public schools. the only thing missing is the taco sauce ketchup.

don’t even bother even turning the oven on. chill the dough then hand me the bowl and a spoon.

already laying the blame on us non-users for the crash that hasn’t happened yet.

our last two phones (one flip, one slab) were bought at retail, and at a reasonable price–same or less than verizon’s “payments” would have totaled, as unlocked ‘universal’ (works on any carrier) devices. all future ones will be the same.

we’re also eyeing an mvno that offers service on all three major carrier networks and lets you mix-and-match and switch between them.

i had the spindle adapter to put on a stack of 45s, and also a simple disc that fit down it and just allowed one to sit on the turntable at a time. i didnt’ need to use these snap-in adapters.

can we give florida back?

it looks like cachyos just makes available anything in arch’s repos that worked for them at that time.

any upgrade or update can ‘break’ something.

mint does have an upgrade path from one major version to the next. the upgrade tool might not be available immediately upon the release of the next version, but in your case it has been around awhile.

backups are, of course, your responsibility, as is any unexpected manual customizations or software added from outside mint repositories.

both. and all your friends and ‘friends’, too.

the new country club, golf courses and tacky hotel tower won’t pay for themselves, ya know.
