Honestly, I think the fact that you can't count on instant gratification here is one of the things that helps keep it from becoming a shit hole like reddit.

I don't mind the slower, more deliberate place here. You get less trolls that way.

Ugh, if you are counting on an AR saving you, you are already way too exposed. Don't get into a gunfight. Snipe, move, and keep them off balance. They are trained to engage in a gunfight, if they don't know where you are, they can't strategize against you.

You go be Rambo, when it hits the fan I want four other guys with hunting rifles with me. Peck at them from different directions till they run.

I started with Bazzite but didn't like that it was immutable. I broke the permissions on my drive and had to reinstall trying to force it to let me change the login screen background.

After that I switched to Garuda and have had it about a year.

The most painful part was figuring out what Linux uses as app stores and how they work. Bazzite just released Bazaar and I haven't tried it yet but I hear it works on other distros too. Software installation and management is the biggest hurdle to easy use and that gap is closing fast.

The most common problem I have had is that a Windows app stops working and I try a different version of proton and the problem goes away.

I have only ever had to use the command like when doing weird stuff. Most people won't need to.

Garuda also has a great helper app that lets you choose common starting software with check boxes, has buttons for updates, firmware, and other common settings, tweaks, and troubleshooting tools. It makes it pretty painless to get started.

Garuda also comes with KDE, Gnome, or Xfce (your choice) so you can get the desktop experience you like.

I had one of those sleep number mattresses once, they have inflatable air bags inside so they zip open and you can get at all the layers of foam too. If you saw how much moisture gets trapped in there you'd do like I do and turn your covers down for the day so everything can dry and air out.

Making your bed all nice and tight just traps a whole lot of moisture.

Garuda is also very user friendly and gaming focused if you want something that isn't immutable.

Does Bazaar also work with other distros, or is it Bazzite only?

When I lived in LA it started a week early and on the 4th itself it was a fireworks show finale amount of fireworks for 8 hours straight.

But just turn on the radio.... right.

Maybe it's time to realize different places are different and there may be values to other people's perspectives even if they don't reflect your particular worldview.

We create a world of kindness or selfishness, judgement or forgiveness every day. These behaviors may get you money or power, but the world you have to live in gets worse. I don't think you realize how much you lose getting ahead, and how much you cost everyone else.

So, is there a link to the image or do we need to ask the AI to make it again?

If you haven't looked at Garuda yet, it's the system I switched to after Bazzite. It's Arch based and user friendly.

I don't get it. I have Garuda, which is Arch, and it was super easy to install. Maybe raw dogging Arch is harder?

Garuda absolutely nails it with their helper app that sets you up with a choice of popular software, handles updates, and gives you easy access to common settings.

It makes it very approachable for people new to Linux.

 

With this year's guardian games coming to a close along with the hoverboard preview, I'll admit that it was nice to let warlocks keep theirs, but I wonder when they will be releasing them to the other classes?
