I hear Bazzite is good for gaming but I haven’t personally used it.

I use Linux Mint on my machines (except my NAS which has TrueNAS going on it) and I’ve got no complaints so far other than my vertical monitor being a little tough to have a vertical login screen (though that’s so niche it’s barely even worth bringing up) and I’m not even sure that’s an issue on other distros (I don’t distro hop)

My experience with Manjaro is from a decade ago (oh God I’m old) so it really doesn’t apply to anything modern but I have heard it recommended at least a few times and a friend of mine swears by it for everything (he always reminds me it’s based on Arch BTW)

My other friend who uses Linux swears by Pop!_OS and he loves it. I personally don’t really dig the default look of it.

All three of us primarily play indie titles if that makes any difference for you.

Personally I’m moving away from Windows this year (ideally before the end of June) so I’m curious what distros others here recommend as well

The loss of my mind

Or how I’d put it: One needs to apply first aid when dealing with a gun shot wound. You don’t just try to dig the bullet out while still on the sidewalk. Pressure, call for help, get a bunch of people involved, then you can deal with the problem in a better way.

It’s steps in the right direction that I’d hope will put on closer to having a higher education system closer to the majority of the EU.

Unfortunately we have to get passed the GQP first before we can get to that point.

He also didn’t immediately make marijuana legal on his first day, smh

Thank you

I tried to find a link a couple weeks ago and I came up short

Gormadt, 18 days ago

Don’t worry, I got you

Here’s a link to the tutorial for doing exactly this.

As a bonus it also talks about how using Rufus you can remove the requirements by default when you create the install stick.

I too would like to know how to make a hog finder

Edit: Okay I think I figured it out. Using an app called BLE Radar (F-Droid Link and Google Play link) you can scan nearby Bluetooth devices passively. You can use the app to setup filters to send notifications when specific devices or addresses are nearby.

One thing I’m curious about is of using a micro controller with a much larger receiver would extend BLE sniffing capabilities.

Or setting up some LoRa equipped micro controllers to do sniffing in an area and syncing that data using a LoRa mesh to an active database of some kind. (Like utilize something similar to (or in fact) Meshtastic)

Exactly this

They’re loud distractions that say a whole lot of nothing (though the stuff they say is concerning) really loudly and non-stop.

All I see is this in the second picture and I love it

Wait…

Our comments are supposed to be witty‽

I’ve got to make some calls.

Anyone who says being a mod for a community is easy has never been one

That shit is hella hard on your mental health

IMO an ideal mod team is one where there’s enough mods that all of them only have to head over to their community once every few days so that it doesn’t become overwhelming

Ah yeah some good news on my feed

I hope that number keeps falling

If not friend why friend shaped? /S

Seriously though keep your distance from critters, if you don’t it’s a fast way to turn an awesome day out into thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of dollars in emergency medical bills.

I’m from the PNW and people get way too close to critters on trails all the time.

Oh man I can’t wait for the new patch on gravity

I’m sick of gravity always keeping me down

Have you seen the number of beetle species?

God’s favorite critters are beetles for sure

Platypus seems more like, “Let’s see how many features I can cram in something before it breaks people’s immersion.”

Velvet worm used Slime Gun

“I swear this never happens,” lies the velvet worm assessing the slime that’s everywhere

As someone who also struggled with alcoholism, I wish I quit way sooner than I did.

This September will mark 6 years sober.

It’s the longest I’ve ever been sober in my entire life.

I’ve lost quite a few people to various addictions over the years. Only 1 to drinking.

Storytime if you're curiousThat one still haunts me oftentimes (though not as much as it used to) about a decade later. They were my long-term boyfriend at the time and after our mutual long-term girlfriend passed away suddenly we both fell off the wagon hard. I made it out the other side of the path of self destruction, they didn’t. And when they passed I fell even harder into alcoholism. My wakeup call was when my doctor asked how many drinks I had per week and when I told him he had me go through the math right there for how I calculated it. It was over 300. I was there because of some health issues that turned out to be liver problems. I got sober a few months later.

Sobriety can be a real bitch to maintain at first but it gets easier the longer you’re sober. Especially if you utilize the new found clarity of mind to address the causes of your addiction.

I’ll never drink again.

Thank you

It wasn’t easy but I’d recommend it to everyone for sure

So much this

It’s infuriating trying to find solutions to issues with Autodesk.

But you did forget a classic one: “Hello I’m X from Autodesk support, you should open a support ticket so we can discuss this issue in a more one on one manner.” And then the thread is closed without a solution.
