You can relax. If you install an Ubuntu based OS (v24.04 LTS for long term support) like Lubuntu or even Linux Mint you’ll have a pretty stable system with great hardware support and lots of online help.

And as long as you don’t mess with any files outside of your home directory and keep a regular backup of your system you’ll be just fine.

Also, there’s a lesson to be learned in our mistakes. In the future, keep a copy of files you want to delete but are not sure what they are for, before you actually delete them.

Especially if the topic is sex, as OP claims. Like WTF.

Mine will probably be Bottles.

The team behind that application did a fantastic job. Wine was due for something much more user friendly like this. And integration with Proton, allowing 3D acceleration is the cherry on top.

When using KDE, press meta-T to activate the equivalent of Windows Power Toys’ Fancy Zones.

You can then set tiling zones and when you drag a window, hold shift at the same time to lock it in one of the zones.

I was going to say the same. This was my introduction to MST3K as well.

The movie’s theme song, the actors, the plot and the cast’s comments were the cherry on top.

IDEs have come a long way. But I’ve done qt development using Jetbrains Clion IDE and QTCreator. I don’t remember it being that difficult. Then again, I started programming using Turbo Pascal and Turbo C. So …

I dunno. Having worked with Java and c#, web dev, c++, I found working with QT in C++ to be so much easier.

I’m more surprised by the ease of use than the performance, honestly.

Talk with your partner and tell them you hear their concerns and they are valid. However, they need to understand that you have a need to be closer to your family or your family have a need to be closer to you. But that you will work with everyone to establish boundaries and you will make sure that they are respected so that everyone is happy.

Have this talk with your family as well and let them know that while you are happy to be closer, that you still need to have boundaries and that you hope they understand they need to respect them. When it happens it’s nothing personal that you just need your space.

If you communicate your needs like this I think it’ll work out for everyone

Zed-s-h.

s-s-h

Su-doo

Oh ok cool! I’m going to check it out.

I’m taking a lot of notes for my next install. Trying to build something solid with Kubuntu.

I’m curious now about BTRFS.

How do you roll back in case of problems?

At login, press ctrl-alt-f4 or f5 or one of the F* keys until you get a text based login screen. (Might need to press enter on a blank screen for the login to appear)

Login as your user and password.

Sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop

I bet the Germans or the Japanese have a word for that feeling that can’t be translated in any other language.

Ugh. God damn. 🤢

Somehow I’m not surprised. He seems pretty eccentric. In a socially awkward way that makes you uncomfortable.

What comments about women?

Thank you!

That’s one thing I don’t like about modern Linux is how it names network interfaces.

I miss the old eth0,1,3 or wlan0,1,2 etc.

Do you think it’s worth getting a Sound Blaster card today? I’ve read you can get better sound effects in game. Can’t the on board audio chips do that now?

LoL!!! IRQ 5 DMA 220 for me. Had to manually adjust the jumper on the sound card.

Fucking hell…
