They aren’t burning fossil fuels. They’re burning CHOOH2, which is the product of a genetically engineered plant.
Everything else has already been addressed by others. It’s a dystopia. Public transit exists in universe, but it’s very dangerous (as is the rest of the city). The corporate solution is to upsell you cars.
Yeah, I was thinking about changing over, because while I like PopOS, it has some issues on my rig. It wasn’t as troublesome as Fedora, but laggy animations, Pop Shop crashing, and its very outdated version of GNOME were starting to frustrate me.
I’m actually testing EndeavorOS in a live environment right now to get a feel for it! I’ve always been hesitant to try Arch in any form because my main Linux buddy warned me it was a quick way to ruin your system.
I use this PC a lot, so I have no problem updating it several times a week or more. So fingers crossed I don’t screw it up lol.
I thought I was going insane with Fedora. Literally every flatpack I tried had major issues. Went back to an ubuntu-based distro after a month of fix attempts.
When I was a little kid, maybe 5 years old, my family lived in this old house that used to be a Civil War hospital during a few battles.
All kinds of weird shit happened there, but one event stands out.
I was sleeping between my parents in their bed on the second floor. I woke up. It was late and very dark.
I looked to my right and saw the curtains blowing in. The windows were painted shut. I watched as the curtains start to slide off the wall. It looked like someone was holding them up. I shit you not. Like I could see feet just underneath the bottom.
The curtains moved to the foot of the bed, and fell.
I don’t remember seeing this, but my parents swear I told them that when the curtains fell, a woman with a yellow dress and no eyes had been holding them up, and that she stood at the foot of the bed for a while.
The curtains, according to my parents, we’re in fact on the floor at the foot of the bed. I can’t vouch for that though because I was a kid and frankly, don’t remember.
My best non-supernatural explanation is that I had sleep paralysis that night and hallucinated much of what I saw. I’ve had it chronically since, so it’s possible.
I don’t know though. It’s one of those things I think about late at night when I have too much free time. What the fuck did I see?
I’ve used OnlyOffice (FOSS, really modern) and Softmaker Office, which is a proprietary German alternative with native Linux support. It also has the best docx compatibility of the Microsoft alternatives.
