I find useful stuff at the dump and make long winded rants against consumer culture. Inspired by Pickle Rick and whatever I can scrounge.

Workflow is Linux + Lineage based on free hardware.

Quit buying shit from companies that destroy the earth in the name of making the already rich even richer.

Unless they build something that isn't locked down and obsolete shit after 5 years, it is just as fucking useless as a 5 year old iPad.

No no. That makes perfect sense... He was making more bread at his new job to afford the rising cost that is baked into a new bicycle

Bicycles are one of the few things I spend money on these days, but I have been lucky to get quite a few for free. For some reason people discard a lot of bicycles at my local dump. I have found some real classics to refurbish. Some I keep and some I redistributed to family and friends.

Hey Apple, Great ad. It perfectly encapsulates what an iPad is...a shit product juiced from the tears of real creativity - A soul crushing, art destroying block of useless shit forged from real tools.

POP is an excellent distro for a number of use cases. I can't speak to System 76 hardware but Pop is definitely one of the good Distros. I have used it for about 5ish years to run Davinci Resolve on video editing laptops and workstations. Another use case for POP was for breaking Mac OS acclimated relatives out of their walled gardens. Relatives as old as 80 have had very little problem adjusting to it after having help installing it.
Looking forward to Cosmic but I will make sure I have backups and other stuff to tinker with during the transition - was the same way during Wayland transition on my other machines.

Positives

  • Davinci Resolve working with a little bit of fiddling and continues to run solidly.
  • No hassle with Nvidia drivers on editing laptop.
  • 4-5 years daily driver on Thinkpads (t460,13) and other older laptops (daily use)
  • Gaming on Nvidia good.
  • Elder folks adjust easily from Mac OS. Its basically Macbuntu for them without the complete pile of shit that is Snaps.

Negatives

  • POP Shop was kinda shite. Had a few problems years ago. Wasn't patient during upgrades or used terminal. A couple of shitty things happening recently but looking forward to testing out everything Cosmic (I have a rock solid edit station that will remain AMD on Endeavour OS to make sure I can still work).
  • Name doesn't bother me, but would be better as just POP OS

Also, the list is a bit roadie-centric. Add suspension, dropper posts and subtract "smart" indoor training, and Strava.
