Couples with opposing views on many things face higher risk of separation, is this a surprise to anyone?

Why is that? What’s the problem with ubuntu? I mean ubuntu-based distros seem to hate my bog-standard RTX3060 GPU for some reason, but besides that. I’m pretty happy with nobara tho, and wouldn’t switch back to ubuntu even if I knew it’d work with my GPU.

It was definitely a Ubuntu thing - Pop, 2 version of Ubuntu, and Mint all failed at various points when dealing with GPU drivers, but I’m using closed-source nvidia drivers on the same GPU in Nobara (Fedora) without issue. Though I guess I haven’t tried updating it yet, but all my hardware accelerated games work as they should.

Lookit all that oil and gas, if there was regime change …remembers not to say the quiet part out loud … uh, peace and stability, yeah.’

Fucking vampires.

The problem is that Microsoft is ending Win10 support so you won’t be able to get updates and such (especially security updates) for the OS anymore which will ultimately lead to things breaking or being vulnerable anyway, plus if that business-critical software ever gets updated to the point where it also doesn’t support win10 anymore (I’ve run into this in the past with XP/Vista) then you’re going to have to change anyway. But you don’t have to change to win11. Companies and governments all over Europe are switching their mission-critical systems to linux and FOSS, yeah it’s a pain, but it’s going to save you pain down the road.

I thought so too, largely on the basis of some very bad experiences with ubuntu-based distributions (they seem to hate my bog-standard RTX3060 GPU for whatever reason), but in frustration I tried one last time to install a linux distro and went with something based on fedora and it has 95% just worked, it’s been great. I haven’t booted up windows in almost 3 weeks, all my games work (battle.net was a bit of a pain to get working), the proprietary windows software I use for work runs great in wine, etc. I’m at the point now where I’m transferring all my files off of NTFS partitions and reformatting them to btrfs and integrating them into the linux filesystem, cause I’m done with windows forever to the greatest possible extent that I can be.

Simple but extremely useful, someone pointed that out the other day and I’ve been using it ever since. It’s my favorite feature of dolphin so far.

Yeah I tried gnome for a little bit on a previous Pop install and didn’t like it as much so I went with KDE when I switched to Nobara.

Yeah, same. I never used much CAD outside of that drafting class, but I got into 3D modeling for a bit starting with Sketchup and it was super nice to just go ‘alright create a plane starting here, but make it 10’x6"’ or whatever, then use push/pull to extrude it 3’, etc, so I’m also used to specifying dimensions as I draw.

Huh, I didn’t realize. I’ve had it installed forever, I guess I didn’t realize. Oh well, I just switched back to Brave and I don’t even have uBO installed anymore and it’s been fine.

Don’t buy microwave popcorn. You can buy popcorn kernels that you can just pop in a covered skillet with some oil.

Mediation seems like a good place to start.

I used to live in New Mexico for a while and there was a common joke: how do you tell if someone is a native New Mexican? They keep a fire extinguisher in the bathroom.

It’s not so much that you taste it on the way out, it’s that there’s undigested capsaicin that burns, uh, other mucus membranes on the way out. Fortunately not something that bothers me much either, but I get hints of it sometimes when my niece makes what I call her nuclear fire curry.

Sure, in bad moments I get short-tempered like anyone else in pain, I more meant generally speaking. I’m not cranky all the time by any means, even though I hurt all the time.

I don’t like drinking water. Obviously I can and do, but even then only filtered water with ice. But my main complaint is that it has no flavor, it’s not very satisfying. Maybe it’s because I was raised on soda, but I like something a little sweet and with a little flavor, so I drink slightly-sweetened iced tea.

Nah it’s not. I’ve been living with chronic back pain every day for 20 years and it hasn’t made me cranky. I have definitely lost some patience with blatant stupidity and what other people think, but my default interaction mode is ‘be chill and get along with everyone’.

Some people are just assholes. I’m 52 and I think I’m pretty chill.

Not disputing that it’s good, it’s just so much stuff is built to work with KDE or Gnome that I think you’d miss out on using E.

I mean that wouldn’t surprise me, I’m sure he’s a lovely person, he’s just kind of the opposite of entertaining to watch for me. But, to each their own.
