That’s exactly it, Bazzite, a distro associated with gaming, running on hardware that even at release was criticized for being “landfill fodder”.

you mean the original Greek pronounciation, instead of the mess, that is “kai-mera”?

maybe a salo joke? at least that would be my first guess

One might even say… scaroused.

As someone who does ride, I understand your perspective, but your proposal of banning motorcycles on weekends and public holidays would be only doing one thing: letting the rich fucks ruin your day on a weekday with their bobbed Harleys and tough-guy cosplay, while working-class people, who picked up the hobby, would yearn even more for fascism, because “tHoSe lEfTiEs wAnnA bAn eVeryThiNg”.

But noise control - yes, please. You are on the streets, not on a track.

Post aside, why do people feel the need to “enhance” their screenshots with AI? (notice the “9183” or the subtext below)

Well, first: It was meant as a simple humorous comment, not hornyposting for oil barons/industrialists. If I haven’t made myself clear, my bad.

And: Even then, OOPs reaction was overreacting and giving the Internet, and Tumblr of all places, a wide attack vector.

(Btw - even when in 2070 the oil executives were to see their consequences, they would put the blame towards the common people, like they do today with things like “the CO2 footprint” as in “blaming the people instead of themselves, the aviation and maritime freight industries”)

…And why exactly does OOP feel attacked, being compared to the beast that is the Onecler?

I fully agree. Why do I have to install gnome-tweaks just to make the UI usable?

Isn’t it ‘octopodes’, and ‘octopuses’ is considered a valid alternative due to heavy use, or am I stupid?

I am already using uBO on Firefox on both machines, as well as a Pi-Hole on my network for devices unable to obtain adblockers.

At least for me, both my laptop (daily driver) and desktop would be considered old by this comic (2014 and 2017 respectively). Neither of them are struggling with the tasks I mostly use them for (writing notes, programming, light gaming on my desktop).

The only things they are struggling at, are modern video codecs and the ABSOLUTELY BLOATED shitshow that is today’s Internet experience.

You can carbonate non-water drinks with anyone of those, regardless of brand - heck, Sodastream even sells you flavoured syrup to mix with your water.

Just, be careful to clean those nozzles more, as sugary drinks are sticky by nature.

Honestly, a better solution would be an open-source IODD-type device, because sometimes I still meet old devices which do boot via USB DVD drives, but not flash drives.

But Ventoy is a second solid choice, especially with newer devices, where such limitations are basically non-existent :)

I personally have tried FreeBSD and some FreeBSD “distros” on the desktop, and have used *BSD-based stuff as servers/single-purpose machines.

As a desktop system (user-centric use case), you notice how hardware support is sometimes problematic, especially on laptops. I personally had problems with NVIDIA GPUs, already a problem on Linux, being a big problem here as well, and don’t mention WiFi (FreeBSD doesn’t support 802.11ac and up currently) or Bluetooth. Software-wise, if your applications do not have a *BSD version, well, then you are relying on Linux ports, which for desktop use isn’t exactly great.

But, in servers/headless setups, *BSDs are shining, with the most important things running rock-solid, stable and resource-friendly.

My dad is more of an 👍💪 guy, but understandable.

Isn’t it kinda sad that one has to rely on third-party articles to even understand the package manager/OS one wants to use?

It is, if your priorities are to tinker even more with your computer. (nix configs, etc.) :)

Using non-tech analogy, it is like having a “project car” to tinker with and a “daily driver” to get to and from work, if you are a car enthusiast.
