Un Dorian Gray sin pasado, ni patria ni bandera.

I'm just a guy in the #pnw who likes going on adventures, and playing games with friends.

Three things I love: the Oxford Comma, irony, and missed opportunities.

  • Trump's White House tried to dodge a vote on the Epstein files. It failed.

  • I would totally release my tax returns, but I'm being audited, sorry.

  • The Dems are primarily right of centre capitalists who think they'll win if they appeal to the "centrists" between the two parties (hasn't worked), and the Repubs are literal Nazis. So yeah, not great.

    Is it common for family members to spy on each other's sexual behavior to find evidence of "degeneracy"? Or did I grow up in hell?

  • I grew up in a crazy Christian environment, really messed with me for a long time. Go to therapy. You don't have to stick with the first person you try, and it took me a few to find the right person to just click with. But you're gonna need to talk this shit out. It'll be rough, but worth it in the end. A good therapist will listen and ask questions, but they're not going to make you do anything, least of all make ammends with people who are a bad influence on your life. You got this.

  • opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml included

    Jump

  • Can't comment on the license, but I switched to it from NextCloud a few months ago and I've been generally very happy with it for where it is in the development process. It's not perfect yet, but it's also still earlyish.

  • Trump slammed for lavish Gatsby-themed Halloween party as vital food funding lapses

  • I think it's also supposed to be worse than when it was during the French Revolution.

  • Donald Trump Confuses Dementia Screening for 'Very Hard' IQ Test as He Brags About Results

    Jump

  • It's fun to remind them that he's never won against a man.

    For reasons that don't make any sense to me, that seems to really bother them. 🤔

  • Yeah, but Biden was just so old. Many people said so!

  • Navy loses two aircraft from USS Nimitz aircraft carrier within 30 minutes

  • Before you stand two doors, one leads to safety and the other to certain death. Guarding them are two people. You may ask only one question, but beware! One always tells the truth, and the other is Trump.

  • Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)?

    Jump

  • The only other suggestion is to figure out whether KDE or Gnome desktop environment is right for her. Former more Windows-like, latter more Mac-like. And then just make sure to grab that version of Bazzite.

    Jump

  • Bazzite should work with your nvidia and everything else. And from the way you described yourself, you may like Bazzite's immutability better, since it's much harder to break than kubuntu is. Just make sure you get the KDE version. I also installed it on my steamdeck and love it.

  • Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)?

    Jump

  • That's really the gist of it. For the 96% who just need a working computer and aren't messing with system files, immutable is perfect. You really can't break it unless you try.

  • Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)?

    Jump

  • Go with Bazzite. It just works, she can't break it, and as long as she reboots from time to time, it'll always be up to date. And she won't have to learn anything to use it.

  • Tom Nichols Claims Trump Will Use Military Against US

    Jump

  • They'll just Weekend at Bernie's him. His base would believe it.

  • House Democrats request details on White House ballroom from President Trump

    Jump

  • Well yeah, he learnt his lesson after he was impeached and Susan Collins furrowed her eyebrows.

  • No plans filed for Trump’s new ballroom despite demolition being under way

    Jump

  • Or they thought this through, beyond I'm gonna build a ballroom, start the backhoes!

  • What's your favorite joke that doesn't translate to English very well?

    Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch ever"

    Jump

  • Eh, Ubuntu used to be a decent desktop distro, but they've made some… choices. You can do better. Mint gets recommended a lot, but that also feels dated. It depends on what your use case is. GNOME vs KDE is a lot more important, find the one that you like better because that's how you'll be interacting with it all day. KDE is more like Windows, GNOME has a more Mac feel.

    If you don't want to tinker with it, you just want it to work and want to use your apps as is, go with an immutable distro (e.g., Bazzite like OP suggested). You can't easily mess up the important bits that keep it running and as long as you reboot it from time to time you'll always have the latest updates. IMO, unless you actively want to mess with the underpinnings of your system, an immutable is the best way to go.

    Bazzite is gaming focused, but if you're not a gamer, there are others (e.g., Kinoite). But in my experience, they just work leaving you to do what you actually want to do, not fight with it to make it work.

  • Linux Package Managers Compared: APT, DNF, Pacman and Zypper

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'll take an appimage if that's what I can get, but it's not my favorite way to deal with it. I'm on Bluefin, so it's flatpak and homebrew for me.
