  • It’s funny because as somebody that’s been using Linux full-time for over 10 years I actually really really really really hate that Ubuntu is considered beginner friendly because I often find very very simple tasks incredibly frustrating on it.

    I know that everybody disagrees with me but I genuinely think that something based on arch like Endeavor OS is genuinely more beginner friendly. You don’t have to fight with repositories to get up to date drivers, virtually any piece of software you could ever want is either already in the extra/community repo or available through the Aur. And while yes it is possible that an update could end up causing an issue on your system Pac-Man is just way way better about not completely destroying the system and it is pretty easy to roll back. Even in a really really bad worst case scenario booting from a live USB and rolling back with chroot is easy enough I’ve actually walked people through it before.

    Meanwhile the amount of times on both Debian and Ubuntu that I have had apt completely eviscerate a system just trying to do basic updates and then just bail out Midway leaving the system so broken that the terminal barely functions anymore is frustrating. And there’s no particularly easy path to fixing that because dpkg is a fucking nightmare. Yes in the majority of those cases the system was multiple years out of date but that’s no excuse I have updated art systems that were upwards of almost 10 years out of date and other than me having to manually update the key ring and reinitialize the signatures it was able to Simply jump right to the latest just fine.

    I just hate the pollution, leaf blower is literally do not fully combust their fuel and some of the fuel is atomized in the exhaust. Which is why they have that distinctive smell because you are literally smelling the unburnt fuel. Given that the task is 80% of the time just a waste of time of people pointlessly blowing leaves in the direction they would have naturally ended up from the wind (not collecting or piling them just moving) and I get annoyed by it.

    Especially when you have those people that are out doing it literally every single goddamn week during fall. If it was an electric leaf blower then whatever the noise doesn’t bother me I’m just tired of fucking smelling it
