I have been using Linux forever. I’ve used Red hat, SUSE, Debian, Slackware, Mandrake, Ubuntu and now Arch with KDE. Part of the fun is trying different distros.

I’ve currently settled with vanilla Arch with KDE (Gnome get it together) and a bunch of flatpaks for user software stuff. I really like rolling releases these days. Just keep the core install minimal and tight.

Also the Arch forum community is top notch.

With that said I would start with package manager and desktop GUI you like and then go from there.

I didn’t agree with this decision. Life is precious.

She should do some extreme sports. Jump out of a plane with one of those flying squirrel things.

Hopefully she donates her organs

Hopefully in Arch already

Guess I’ll just buy a cheap used one then

Article for the sake of having an article.

That what I’m taking about! Just having fun! For money of course

It seems pretty low key and not a big Nike ad with a bunch of lame talking heads. Fun and entertaining.

Pretty good! I’m liking kde. It’s very user friendly and you didn’t have to tweak the crap out of it.

Depends. Ha ha

RPMs at work, Debs for my RaspberryPi devices. PacMan (Arch) and Flatpaks for home.

Flatpaks are great. I install my core os and gui with the base package management. All my user side packages are Flatpaks. I then use Flatseal to lock down and modify Flatpaks as needed. What’s great is running programs like wine without installing a ton of dependencies and then locking the install from parts of my computer I don’t want it to have access to.

Bought a kitchen scale, bathroom scale and used the “lose it!” app to count calories. Lost weight.

Yep we all eat too much. I started counting calories and found out that I was eating twice as much as I should have. It’s not obvious and every place serves big portions.

Reddit is pretty much AOL Online to me at this point.

I really like Gnome Boxes but they’re no 3d acceleration for Windows installs yet, right?

Fork time!

Flatseal is good, just not official.

Steam Deck is using Flatpaks so…

Endlessly reading on social media that is not a good from Linux “gurus”. LOL

It’s been great for me, but I wish it had a official gui for permissions management.

The issue with Linux is getting middle management to support it. I’m my experience is based on them laying you off and hiring somebody else. Linux is great but management needs support contracts.

Angry Linus is the best.
