You could see it as time invested. For me, it’s something I do in my free time, on an old laptop, for the fun of it. And for the learning aspect of it.

My main system also runs Linux, but I don’t tamper much with it. It just runs. Reliable, predictable, boring. Boring is good for important systems. But that’s not why I run Linux.

Trying a new distros is a 10 minutes endeavor. Tops. 🤷‍♂️ And there’s Ventoy.

Modern? Gnome developers were always like that.

It’s difficult to be disappointed with something that is free.

Actually, one shouldn’t be disappointed with things. Only people can disappoint you.

I was disappointed in the Debian crew when they standardized on systemd when it clearly wasn’t ready yet.

And I was disappointed in the people running some distros that made Wayland the standard when it clearly wasn’t ready yet (a few apps I rely on don’t support it or run poorly on Wayland even now).

Other than that, free software, free choice, and a lot of learning possibilities. You just have to adapt your expectations. Change hardware, change software, change distros, and learn.

Thanks. Already subscribed. I haven’t preordered, but I will probably get Children of Infinity on day one.

Star Control II was something else.

Where?

All of them.

If I recall correctly, Descent 3 was made by another developer team and it was quite a different game. But Descent 1 and 2 are favorites of mine. Some of the original developers made Overload. Try it, if you haven’t already.

A short hike.

Yes, we do.

It is very easy to understand.

We should empower new users and show them better ways.

Sounds like your doing passwords wrong.

Vollkorn. The best I could find.

In my country it’s becoming ever more common that when I visit someone and that person lives in an apartment, the building has a doorman/security and they ask for my id.

Also all supermarkets want to know your id number, but there at least I can say “no thanks”.

Maybe don’t try to drill a hole with a hammer…

There are many user friendly KDE distros.

There are many distros tailored for software development. Some of them certainly use KDE.

Linux is learning. Don’t be afraid to learn new things. But don’t make your work more difficult on purpose.

Another vote for the Supernote. I’ve got the Nomad and I’m so far pretty happy with it. I use it mainly for note taking, for which it excels. It was pretty expensive to import it where I live, but its worth it.

Sayonara is the one I’m using.

And this is… good?
