That’s totally legit. I prefer having my primary machine immutable so I can’t break things. I have a mini PC that’s my tinker platform. I have kubuntu on there now but may have to give PikaOS a try.

Parboil them? I simmer them in beer, sliced onions, garlic, and a couple spices so they get cooked most of the way through then finish them on the grill. You can then pour out most of the beer and add some brown sugar and saute for some quick caramelized onions to put on the brats.

I have a first gen Define XL that’s probably closing in on 15 years old. Still going strong as my primary desktop case. The only problem I’ve had is little cheap plastic connectors to attach the feet to the case broke. I know they’ve fixed the design for recent versions but I can’t justify the cost when the rest still works fine.

Dawncaster is a really solid roguelike deck builder. One time payment, no ads, paid DLCs with additional archetypes and maps.

Bitwarden includes a username generator with a few different options for types.

Plasma’s not that old, it just came out a few years ago…

2008?

I should probably clarify that I think my wife did something wrong and not Pop. I ran it smoothly for months before moving to Bazzite on my item machine. She knows enough to be dangerous and may have changed something without knowing what it did.

An atomic system would be more SO proof for me.

I’ve had my wife on Pop for 3-4 months now but she performed some update in the Pop Shop this week that totally borked the bootloader. I was not able to repair or even get it to see her hard drive.

I was able to mount the drive using the Pop live USB and backup her data. I moved her over to Bazzite, which is what I use.

Bosses when the IT dept is furiously responding to an outage: What do we pay you for?

It just works for me. I tried it about a year ago when I still had an Nvidia card and Wayland wasn’t playing nice. I’ve since upgraded to an AMD and most things just work out of the box.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle gave me some trouble, but that’s just typical for MachineGames’s engine on Linux.

The most difficult thing about Bazzite is figuring out rpm-ostree and package layering. Luckily there isn’t much I need that’s not in the package library.

I was in my mid 30s when I found out that you could hold some button when continuing after game over in Super Mario Bros to continue in the world you died.

We just got gud and abused the turtle shell stair 1up.

I’m part of a CSA with a small, local farm. The winter share was $5 a dozen for 2 dozen every other week. We’ll see if the price goes up for the summer share.

Maybe I’m lucky to be in a city with tons of farms nearby, but I’d encourage others to look for local options like this.

My old washer died about two weeks ago. It was a 30 year old Frigidaire that shorted something and made magic smoke. That was a pretty asshole move.

We replaced it with a Speed Queen and it’s been great so far.

I’m a few years out of date on most hardware, but I can recommend the Fractal Define cases. They also make RGB monstrosities, but the Define line are sturdy, quiet, and come in solid metal side styles. I’ve had the original XL for probably 15 years now and it’s still going strong. XL is probably overkill, but at the time I had a bunch of old platter drives I was still using

I agree for the big ones, but we have a local one I’ve subscribed to a few times, for a couple months at a time.

They pull all the ingredients from local farms, do local delivery or pickup at farmer’s markets, and they’re minimal on packaging, and they reuse the bags and ice packs. I haven’t done it in a while but it was pretty nice and it was helpful to break out of the routine of the same meals week in and out.

Everyone else seems to have addressed the cloud part, which I was a little skeptical about too. I understood it is a development aspect, not an end user aspect, so I decided to use it. I’ve been using it as my daily driver for about 6 months and have had no problems.

The atomic part was the biggest hurdle for me, since I wasn’t familiar with rpm-ostree, but I’m getting the hang of it. It’s had the added benefit of keeping me from breaking things through stupid mistakes since I can just roll back my changes.

Conan and Craig were my go-tos. It’s not a talk show, but Conan’s podcast is hilarious and he really shines in the longer interview format, both with celebrities and with fans.

I cannot remember a single thing about the movie except that I recall loving the way in which the story was told but hating the story itself.

This is what I do for Bazzite and Mullvad.

I can’t get it to update through the repo while layered, so I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall using the new rpm each time. I keep saying I’m going to get around to troubleshooting it and then forget about it until the next update.
