How about don’t implement it and when California realises they need computers then they might change their mind?

Non-free codecs out of the box

I think Linux mint Debian edition is cool if you want to use Cinnamon, but otherwise Debian makes sense.

A while ago I tried out cachyos since it was the big new thing. I can’t remember what the update was, but I recall Pac-Man threw up a warning to say “Manual intervention required etc etc etc” rather than updating.

I might be remembering it wrong.

(RIP Wauz) The last song my friend Wauz wrote before he died. His band finished recording it after he passed. The music video especially gets me recognising so many faces.

Governments have regulated that we can’t have forums, mailing lists? What about special interest bulletin boards? I read the article but I didn’t pick up on that.

I really liked DQ5. I played a translation on SNES emulators way back, but it was unfinished so it was a sloppy experience.

Went back to it when the DS remake came out, and I loved it. When I think of Dragon Quest I think of 5. I understand it’s part of a trilogy 4, 5, 6 as well but I didn’t play the others.

I’ve also played DQ3 on gameboy colour. I only played it halfway, but it was a good portable rpg for sure. I’d only played Final Fantasy Legend 3 on gameboy and this was much better. I just didn’t have much time for playing games then.

X-Men

A second is really hard to pick though. There’s so many great kids shows from that time, if I picked one it works just be at random. Maybe Rocko’s Modern Life, because the absurdity of it stands out more than many others.

That’s easy; because Ikey Doherty wanted to make one.

He abandoned Solus years ago as the project became something he didn’t enjoy anymore, and wanted to start a fresh project closer to his philosophy of engineering everything.

When a person starts a new project it’s usually because they want to.

So the key here is, in classic Ikey style, they want to use/develop all their own tools. engineer everything themselves to be exactly what they want it to be. This is what suits them and Ikey has the chops to do this better than most.

He started this project about 5 years back as Serpent OS, rebranded it last year as he got to alpha release stages.

As others have s pointed out, it looks like as a relatively new user you’ve tried a whole lot of stuff meant for advanced users and managed to completely avoid the tried and trusted Linux mainstays that have been around forever. Like KDE, Gnome, xfce, and most user friendly distros like Linux mint.

Tiling WMs for example are best for people who want to spend weeks if not months working in their configs and dot files, and are privately designed for keyboard and not mouse use (hence the WM you identified as not having a button to close the window)

But I’m curious for you end up doing these things as a new user. Is there a lot of bad advice going on out there?

I’ve only tried wine and GE-proton through Heroic, Lutris and Bottles. Always gives some wine error.

I’ve never tried it through Steam.

I have it on gog too, but I’ve been on Linux since 2009 and it just throws wine errors every time. The last time I was able to play it was on a Pentium M laptop I had from 2006 or something.

I was putting it out there as a suggestion for inexperienced Linux users to manage their appimages. Writing a desktop file won’t update your appimages or handily install them in a consistent location.

I believe if we imagine a Venn diagram, users of this software would have some overlap with users who’d prefer or require a gui tool.

Years ago. I thought it had been abandoned but I see it started getting updates again last year.

Interstate 76. I haven’t been able to get it working on any machine after the mid 2000s.

No comment on the software because I have no use case for it, just wanted to note that GearLever can “install”, and integrate your appimages into your menu quick and easy, and in most cases keep them updated too.

Lately I drink kombucha, blood orange flavour

I like Dutch smoked cheddar. I cut it up into triangles and nibble on it.

You’d have to pay me to drink any wine, even then I might still say no.

Big chunky carabiner. Also it’s green.

I’ve used gog launcher before, years and years ago (13? 14 years?) so maybe it’s better now, but it was bad. Really bad, I had to get rid of it and just use the offline installers.

Heroic on the other hand is very good.
