She will be the most amazingly vertically challenged Starfleet officer yet! Well…except for Nog.

Yeah…that’s Sauron.

We like to laugh and play here about Linux quite a bit

We do? Aside from the "I use Arch, btw" memes, I must not have got that memo :) And, uhh...I use Arch, btw.

Fuck, ignoring the obvious pron implications that I assume everyone here is immediately thinking of, think of HIPAA, think of the private communications with therapists that people have, think of all of the financial documents you’ve opened, think about bank accounts, chats, fucking everything.

So much this. I'm glad I dumped Windows and this just guarantees that I'll never return.

I want to play a new fun Star Trek game! And this one fits the bill nicely especially because previous games made by these devs were hours of enjoyment. I trust in their ability to tell a great story!

The simple fact you use terms like “libtard” proves the abundance of undereducation you have received. Enjoy living with such idiocy. Bye.

@ulkesh@beehaw.org avatar

Well I'm not on it anymore because it frustrated this old aging brain. I'm currently on Garuda. But I may give it a go in a VM again.

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding the intent here, but doesn’t “heading towards peak” literally mean “increase” in this context?

This.

ulkesh , to Linux in [ META ] What is the community's opinion of Pop!_OS?
@ulkesh@beehaw.org avatar

I love the fact that System76 is an American company pushing Linux forward (well to certain degrees, anyway). I know they use hardware produced in other countries (for chassis at minimum, not sure about the rest of the components), but it’s still nice to see.

Next time I’m in the market for a laptop, I’ll certainly give them a solid look (hopefully the form factors of the more powerful systems will be less…girthy…by then).

Pop!_OS is quite solid. I’ve used it from time to time. However, I’m partial to Arch because I like to be closer to the bleeding edge (currently using Garuda for my gaming rig).

ulkesh , to Linux in [ META ] What is the community's opinion of Pop!_OS?
@ulkesh@beehaw.org avatar

You and me both. I’d rather it just be Pop!OS. Or just, Pop. Or the better term: Soda.

Learned something new, thank you! I’m old school so it’s going to take some time to acclimate I think.

@ulkesh@beehaw.org avatar

I like the concept of atomic distros, but the implementation leaves a lot to be desired for me. Having to reboot after installing any software seems counterproductive to me (admittedly this was my very limited experience when I tried Bazzite).

ulkesh , to Linux in Cool distros to try
@ulkesh@beehaw.org avatar

The answer to that is…yes.

ulkesh , to Linux in Windows is hell, i need to do something
@ulkesh@beehaw.org avatar

The first step in fixing your problem is admitting you have one. Good job!

I couldn’t care less about the original post, but I will also call people out in the hopes that they stop being a dick to others. Anyone who enjoys seeing people get agitated needs to have their head examined.
