My first real relationship was in high school at age 18 with somebody who left me kinda burned out with their lack of maturity. It was a rather unhealthy relationship that ended after about a year. After that, I went out with a couple people in college but it never led to anything. Now I’m 24 and last year I met somebody really special. We’ve been seeing each other for about half a year now and I can confidently say I’m glad to have waited before finding myself in something serious. I truly feel loved and cared for with a certain stability that I didn’t have at 18.

I think most people just say Ubuntu to indicate the Ubuntu family of distros. A help guide for vanilla Ubuntu running GNOME should work the same way for Kubuntu with very minor changes i.e. adding a repository for the GNOME software manager vs the KDE software manager.

For me, it’s gotta be Namibia. It’s a country in Southern Africa, and the only reason I’ve come to be aware of it was because I’ve made a very fortunate contact whilst talking on amateur radio. Two consecutive Decembers I happened upon the same gentleman on the 10 meter band, and he confirmed my QSOs (contacts) on the logbook!

Ah yeah, you know the gold plated connections make all the difference for the fiber optic connection

I suppose all the “I use Arch” memes made me curious about the hubbub behind it. Fedora is totally competent, works right out of the box and gives no issues in my experience, I truly believe it should be recommended more when folks consider making the switch. Arch has been a learning experience for me, kinda figuring out what the system needs but doesn’t come with. “Oh, I have no firewall, I better install it. No bluetooth? Alright, I’ll add that too.” It’s so hands on and it forces the user to make decisions that the distro usually makes for the user on its own. This is a “for better and for worse” type of thing, but it forces the user to learn more about Linux itself than just handing them a totally functional machine right out of the box. It was intimidating as hell the first couple installs, but now I understand things I didn’t understand before as a result of it.

The two lit on the right side indicate rhe second night of Chanukah. The middle one is actually lit first and then used to light the other candles.

I switched because of a strong dislike for Microsoft and their spyware. I didn’t even bother dual booting, I ran baptism by fire right into Fedora and it was way smoother than I expected it to be. I enjoyed Fedora so much that I decided to try Arch. Very different experience, but now I’ve learned so much that I dumped Fedora and I use Arch for almost everything. I do keep a machine with Debian that way I feel like I’m getting the most well-rounded experience in case I ever need to help a friend with a Debian-based distro.

I’m glad they circled the text, I couldn’t read it otherwise.

In this market? Can’t blame 'em. If that’s what it takes to have a space to live, so be it.

I liked it back when I was just making awful-looking images on DALLE just to laugh at them and share them with friends who also thought they were goofy. Now? I don’t like AI.

I really like the Aves Libre gallery
