An old shoe. Just one. You can even tie it on by the laces.

They do make little 1-serving packets of PB, kind of like the ones for BBQ sauce or honey mustard. Sometimes you can find them at hotel continental breakfasts.

Día de los Muertos, because of the amazing art at the very least. Plus, who wouldn’t want a second Halloween of sorts? (I know the reasons to celebrate are very different)

Also, Earth Day and Arbor Day, because our trees and planet are awesome.

Some insects are attracted to light sources, but not mosquitos. They seek out the things our bayou friend already mentioned.

The dose makes the poison.

Windows 7 Ultimate for me. I still kept it as a boot option on my main PC until about a year ago because I thought I still needed it for a couple windows apps and games.

I tried Win8 at one point and hated the changes. I also tried Win10 and one of those “forced bloody updates” bricked my machine so I said ‘fuck that’ for good.

I’ve dabbled in Linux for 20 years, and run Ubuntu on my living room HTPC for at least a dozen. My main PC runs EndeavourOS now and even gaming has been pretty great.

I mean if you’re down to NetBSD as your pick you’ve probably already made some big concessions so plugging into Ethernet isn’t a huge leap at that point.

Most likely yes, as many others have said. Of course you’ll likely have to pick a very lightweight DE.

As a fallback there is always NetBSD.

Ha, I had one and it’s what first came to mind too. Pretty useless.

It was intentional 🙂

I switched fully to Linux on my main gaming PC about 18 months ago. Honestly Proton has become so good that I really haven’t had to dual-boot Windows or run a VM or anything. I even bought a licence for CrossOver when I first switched but ended up not needing it.

For the few games that really won’t run (after trying what I find in ProtonDB and PCGW) I really do either A) wait for fixes, or B) just leave them behind. With a library of like 2500 games it’s not hard to find something else to play.

These are the only games I recall not working at all for me:

• Beyond Good & Evil (GOG) - Might be fixed now
• Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (Steam) - Might be fixed now
• Dauntless (EGS) - Broken due to Easy Anti-Cheat

Ohhhh… TIL!

I’ve had elderflower liquor (St. Germain is very nice) but not elderberry.

There are some southern or appalachian insults that I’m sure would confuse foreigners, even those who are functional in English.

Comparisons like “He’s twelve ounces short of a pint”, backhanded compliments like “I just love how you don’t care what people think”, idioms like “three sheets to the wind”. And then of course there’s “rode hard and put up wet”.

“Your mother was a hamster!” is pretty self-explanatory though.

But elderberries smell rather nice. Or at least the last elderberry jam I had was quite lovely. So that certainly makes for a confusing insult.

I feel like turkey, cornish hen, and maybe quail are more common as food than pheasant and goose. At least in the US. If you’re European maybe you put live blackbirds inside pies or something, I dunno, but I guess that’s technically a dino meal too.

Both are reptiles. But the crocs and dinos are different lineages.

I have the total opposite experience. Ubuntu, Endeavour, SteamOS. Gaming on Linux has been great in the last 2 years especially. Shader caches are a very small price to pay for having a system that doesn’t crash due to Windows driver BS and being able to reinstall and keep my home directory intact.

Oof, yep, that’s all it was. I just fired up Elden Ring and it runs great under X11. Thanks a million!

I’d heard Wayland and Nvidia don’t play nicely together, but forgot KDE had officially made the switch. I’m sure I approved the install a while back but probably assumed it was all stable and compatible now. Guess that’s what I get for not reading the release notes!

Install Linux From Scratch (LFS). Then you can give it your own flavor instead of someone else’s.
