I know the feeling that it seems to be duct taped together (makes sense since there’s thousands of developers working independently and collaboratively, unlike under Microsoft or Apple) and it sometimes infuriates me how each and every distribution has their easy install points, and yet confound certain other points.

For instance I want a Chinese IME? Fedora will get that done in a minute, but Arch varying results from install from terminal of fcitx and adding lines to a config. On the other hand Arch AUR has optimised software and mirrors for my region of the world.

Don’t know if you tried Gnome but I love it for some reason, maybe because it’s so different and customisable via extensions. So yeah, enjoy the ride!

Fedora, so most Gnome based distros. KDE as commented beside me. Arch-based EndeavourOS.

I saw this too and I really wanted it. The Sony shop/showroom assistant (in Japan) told me it was discontinued and just there for show.

I think the Japanese just preferred the old school SLR. I can see the Chinese getting pretty excited about this one though.

As always, first impressions count. There is no way I’m starting to call it engine x now, except for fun.

Loads of fingerprint readers are not useable in Linux either, thanks Synaptics, and Co!

Just like the first smash when you’re playing pool, quite a few balls are going down the table while a couple might go off up the table. There’s a net movement down the table. It gets more complicated because we’re talking balls of different masses and a bit of relativistic speeds, but analysis will reveal what those masses are and hence the net direction of the momentum and thus the direction of the velocity.

Mind isn’t self. Those thoughts eh…

Sentient dot 😂

Where TF did my entire family go??

In just a few words to summarise a lot of these comments:

What user spends the most moneh?

Oh! Now I understand what that other commenter was talking about by ‘matching of letters to the numbers’ or something along those lines.

We getcha but that’s romaji which is a transliteration of the syllable sounds.

How about strokes? 一，二，三 😆

Didn’t they go secular because freemasonry is essentially gnostic and sees all religion as tending towards the divine realisation?

I feel like the most important thing to take away here is to not feel pushed to have a social life. One city I lived in I had one friend I really considered a friend and the rest were mostly in the background (though fun to hang out with time to time).

For me a social life is enough if I find a single person who is capable of listening and rolls with bouncing ideas off each other.

May or may not apply to OP but zero social life sounds like they’re an introvert.

Making at least $100,000 after tax a year in a country with low living costs? You can bet on it.

This comic almost has an xkcd flavour to it.

De-googled chromium works for me.

Back to the ol’ times of Windows.
