Nix and Bazzite

i’ve been contributing to open source for a year or so now and i’ve found the politics of projects affects contributions greatly

me too. far too many fundamentalists running around already

i would let this one cook for a bit longer. the upgrade went fine but the OS has been peculiar (GPU and performance issues, resume from stand by), no actual crashes though. i’m on gnome

a little bit of exercise is amazing for mental health. just half an hour, 2 or 3 times a week makes a massive difference

totally agree, home cooking from a variety of fresh ingredients is great for your gut and mental health

the deployed architecture of linux is still evolving right now and there are lots of distros experimenting with different approaches

• how the basic core OS is structured - immutability, A/B partitions, versioned rollback
• how third party applications are executed - containerization, compatibilty, virtualization, bare metal
• how software is updated and stored - package management (apt, pacman, nix, flatpak)

i’m sure i’ve missed other features of new linux distros. this is all really important stuff but has nothing to do with the apps you actually use day to day

started playing with ubuntu around version 6, been using it for various things ever since

honestly never got in the way of me doing what i wanted

Distant Horizons, Skyrim

good point

the novelty touchpad/numpad combo device on my asus thing also doesn’t work but i’m fine with that

so i guess if you have specific device requirements from the laptop, make sure they do work before buying

in my experience Linux works on any laptop i put it on

buy what you want and give it a go!

Verso actually

yep once or twice a week for 10 mins or so. i use very basic audio-guided mindfulness. very basic words, no music or specific topics.

make me feel refreshed and relaxed, just feels healthy

i think i was parodying my own indignant rage

i’m not!

could Waydroid be used for this?

FFS! CHROMEOS IS F***ING LINUX, G** D***IT, WHYYY YOU DO THIS, IT'S LINUX, C***** ON A BIKE!

learn as much as you can, don’t worry too much about what it is you learn

you’ll find what you’re good at or fascinated by
