    I switched from ubuntu to debian when 12 was released and it’s been fine. Only thing i was worried about was running WoW via lutris but had no issues.

    So when my SO windows pc died we bought some newish parts and i installed debian on it as well. Also installed chrome since that’s her browser of choice. She’s still getting used to gnome, but all she needs is browser, WoW, and libreoffice, which is close enough that it hasnt been an issue. She doesn’t even know how to update the system.





  • Used to be in the metallica club and went to one of their small shows when st anger was released and except for one or two st anger songs, they played all old stuff.

    I’m into all the classic swedish melodeth bands and there were a ton of really good shows in the 2000s. Perhaps one of ny favorites of those was when Dark tranquillity, Insomnium, and swallow the sun toured together. I think There was a 4th swedish band on that tour but cant remember who. Maybe soilwork? Or maybe it was soilwork and not DT.

    I saw DT and soilwork a zillion times but only saw insomnium and swallow the sun that once.

    First time i saw Devin Townsend was pretty special too.







  • “Sailing is like standing in a cold shower ripping up $100 bills.”

    I had a sailboat for a bit when I lived in Vegas. I absolutely loved sailing. I had a relatively small, cheap boat which was fine for lake mead. It was still expensive though. Everything continuously breaks on a boat.

    If I hadnt gotten my dream job in Colorado I would have wanted to live near the ocean and own a sailboat.


  • A long time ago most airlines checked at least one bag free. I used to always do this and as op suggests, not stand in line. It was great not having to take a bag through security and haul it around through airports and connecting flights, and avoid the stress of if the overhead space would run out.

    But airlines have done everything in their power to make boarding and the whole flying process miserable in attempt to suck every dollar they can from you for their upgrades and priority boarding.

    I do often take advantage of the airlines offer to “we expect a very full flight, overhead space is limited, and will check your bag for free to your final destination”



  • I dumped ubuntu for debian 12 due to snaps, and i’m very happy so far. I run sway as my window manager. I guess we’ll see how i feel in a year but i honestly can’t think of any software i run that i’m simply fine with it not being the most recent. I’m even using the firefox-esr version that debian ships with and it’s fine.

    User you are replying to wasn’t replying to OP?

    Maybe my reading comprehension is bad, but it seemed obvious to me user was replying to a specific comment seeing how it was a reply to that nerd comment instead of OP and post used the phrase “this comment”.
