I am drunk. I wish you hadn’t suggested that.

So anyway, what are the pros and cons?

Why did that happen?

Shit, I’ve done that!

bypassing the package manager (especially installing with curl | sudo sh

I’ll admit that I’ve done this with a few things that I wanted to install but weren’t in my repo…

Check out Ardour for music production. You should be able to get older versions for free on most distributions or get the current version for a donation via their website.

Is Coreboot not fully open source?

Yeah, I’m still getting updates on my 2017 Dell Latitude!

Property, when referring to a house/home.

I am honoured.

If either of my parents could use a computer it would run linux.

Either slices cut in half or diced and the peanuts whole, in separate dishes. A half mouthful of peanuts followed by a half mouthful of tomato. Never mix the two together before eating! I prefer to use a spoon.

• Velocity 2x - extremely fun fast paced 2d space shooter & platformer. Is extremely rewarding when you start to get to good at it and learn the levels.

• Muramasa Demon Blade/Rebirth - also really fun and satisfying skill-based combat game but with some light RPG elements. What I really love about it though is the sheer vibes. Set in feudal Japan with gorgeous artwork and sound/music. Great fun and a piece of art.

I second Calibre. You can configure it to roll all the articles into a single epub too, so they don’t clutter your ereader. I tested it out recently and it works really well. I haven’t had the discipline to do it yet but I love the idea of connecting to the internet once a week to download content and messages and then going back offline.

What sort of printers do you make your prints with? And do you print directly from GIMP or from something else? I’ve been trying to set up a FOSS printing workflow using Canon giclee printers, which has been mostly successful but I haven’t yet figured out how to print custom sizes on roll paper, only standard sizes on sheet paper.
