I’ve had a 13in for like 2 years now? Running Fedora KDE.

Software-wise, it is nearly flawless. Linux always has some gimmicks but the Framework experience has been on par with a Dell XPS 13 that I have also run Fedora on in the past.

Hardware-wise, also been pretty nice. Battery life is ok, not amazing. I broke the screen on a trip one time - I bought a replacement from the website and did the maintenance myself to put the new one in. Not going to lie, that felt pretty awesome (and I’ve built many high complexity desktops in the past). Fixing your own laptop isn’t something you can usually do.

The touch pad is currently haven’t some issues, so I’ll replace that too eventually.

Quirks: Touch pad responsiveness was never excellent but certainly serviceable. The 4:3 screen ratio is odd to some people, though I personally really enjoy it.

At this point I can’t picture myself going back to laptops I can’t repair myself. It has been a breath of fresh air. If you care less about that and want just the best Linux experience on a high end machine, Dell XPS might still be the one, but Framework comes very close in my opinion.

Ah but I love in the US, so I’ll just continue in constant fear. On the bright side, those marginal raises go towards the hilariously high cost of therapy.

Precisely. I used to drive through there on my way to/from college. It sucks there.

I have Jellyfin running in a container on my little home server. I’ve never tried it on a RaspPi so I can’t really speak to its performance there.

YouTube, mostly. Twitch.

Jellyfin. Use it daily. Dropping more and more atreamjnf services, it’s been awesome.

Honorable mentioned to Revanced.

Athol. It’s in Mathachuthetts.

Jokes aside the town does suck.

Yeah dude. I’m in Boston. It isn’t San Fran levels yet but if you want a lot (with a rotting house on it) that will be a nice $2mil and then you can enjoy removing the rotted house.

Better food.

Fedora. Silverblue if you want even more stability.

I’m going to hazard a guess that if you live in a country where medical debt does not exist, you have socialized healthcare.

You were fucking with your GPU drivers, lost access to your GPU, and you have concluded from that that “regular users” (who don’t know what a driver is or does) should not use Linux?

EDIT: Stick a “normal” user on a stable distro with a clean UI like Mint or Fedora, keep in mind they probably don’t know what a terminal is and will probably never use it, and they will be fine for almost all cases.

SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE just has the best name

People are saying no to Brother in this thread but at the end of the day it just works super well.

In general? Old ass pacman at a bowling alley when I was like 5 or 6.

Personal game that I actually spent time with? Pokemon Red on the original, very very old Gameboy. Like the grey one, before the gameboy color.

That is so cool. Things like this make me realize how much I miss school. Like, actually miss some of the learning and studying aspects. If only grad school in the USA didn’t cost a small fortune, I’d love to continue education for purposes like this.

Thanks for sharing!

This is fascinating. I have no doubt you had to debate this a lot and are already aware of some of the shortcomings of the system you created, but in general I really like this idea. Antagonistic Resignation is especially great.

Basically game-theory everything because it’s always safe to assume that there will eventually be a bad actor and that bad actor will extort loopholes found.

My girlfriend is a nurse. 7-7 shifts, days and nights, it alternates.

She’s gotten used to it, isn’t sore from the work anymore. Make sure you have good shoes. Do some research, ask your coworkers - having the right shoes makes a big difference when you’re on your feet for 13-14 hours straight. Add some electrolytes to your water bottle. Doesn’t need to be high in sugar unless you also aren’t eating much too. Moving and standing and being active all day takes energy and hydration. Having some simple electrolytes and enough calories will also make a huge difference in how you feel at the end of the day. You’re basically on a 12 hour hike every shift.

To take your question slightly more seriously: Victoria’s Secret is a brand that mostly exists for men to ogle the female models.

So… Calvin Klein, maybe? Not quite the same number of women ogling the male underwear models but, seems as close as we will get.

I’ve been a software engineer for 8 years and I’ve had my own Jellyfin server (and before that, Plex) set up for 4 years on a server that I built myself.

Despite this, I don’t have a damn clue what “virtualized through Proxmox” means any time I read it.
