I’ll fight you! In a game of Pathfinder of course.

They are coming.

It used to be a (potential) issue with sponging hard drives, though was debated back then even. I can’t think of anything that would be an issue for it nowadays though.

You’re very smart.

Meh, I used Gentoo in its literal first release off a DVD with only printed instructions for a stage one build on an old Pentium II. No internet or anything to fall back on. Learnt a hell of a lot (like don’t select Firefox and Open Office and do an emerge world as your first package step after the initial boot because it took literally a week to compile with no indication when it would be done). Definitely have a soft spot for Larry the Cow but after running that setup for a couple of years I feel I’ve taken what I needed from Gentoo.

Would recommend it to anyone who wants to dig in and really learn what makes their system tick, but not as a daily driver. I feel for me Arch hits the sweet spot, but was happy with Debian/Ubuntu too (at least until Ubuntu went to shit with snaps).

Yes, that’s what they would say. I’m not sure if you are disagreeing with me? No one I’ve ever heard says Legos here in Australia. I’m playing with my Lego. Check out my Lego. I’m missing some of my Lego pieces. Pick up your Lego.

Mostly the second one, yes. Lego. Lego bricks. Lego pieces. Boys of Lego. Never Legos.

I think it is mostly Americans that say that. I’ve never heard anyone say it outside of reading it on American centric forums.

Working on a music sequencer. Mostly vanilla but I’ve switched to use the wired redstone mod as I think it is a good balance between vanilla-like and compact.

Been trying out Zoho for my martial arts club and it works great. Want to convince my partner to move our home business away from office 365 to it as I have no end of trouble with Microsoft’s offering. Just this week she couldn’t access our main inbox because of a known issue with shared mailboxes. No solution but to wait it out. Great feeling to rely on something like this for your income…

Wait, how??

For sure!

I mean, Mint is a great distro.

Have you tried Arch, btw?

Deep nested menus were also much more common (including the start menu itself), and the menu items were often cramped closer together too. I used to turn the delay to zero because it was “cool” to see all the sub menus flying out everywhere as you moved your mouse up or down to where you actually wanted to go, but as they often popped over due to limited screen space it was actually a poor experience as you mentioned.

Still felt leet though.

That brings back memories!

They are not likely to be using the terminal. Pretty much every graphical file browser will ask for confirmation upon delete, and many will use a rubbish bin by default.

Before I had a proper internet connection (had to ask permission to borrow a dial up account) I bought a magazine that had a picture of a cow on it saying that Larry the cow was different. It was a DVD image of the stage one mirror of this new fangled Gentoo thing.

Learnt from the magazine how to install a bootloader and so on and then “bravely” typed emerge world into the terminal after configuring the list of all the packages I wanted. Including a full desktop (KDE I think but may have been Gnome). And Firefox. And Open Office. And some multimedia stuff I don’t remember.

On a Pentium ii.

Took a week before I could do the next step :D

HD650 rocks. Getting close to having to replace the pads again but the hardware is rock solid and sounds great.

How would you get the Eyes of Ender?

Edit: never mind, I read your post properly this time.

Glad to hear that. I downgraded for the same reason so it will be nice not to have to pin old driver versions in future if it works.

It’s its own kind of sexy.
