“too big to fail”

Too rich to not move politicians and mountains.

Nextcloud talk?

I forgot to add nextcloud talk!

Define secure. You can run your own network.

xmpp mentioned, I’ll add IRC

I’m lazy too!

Gentoo stable scratches that itch quite effectively.

Front loading though, that’ll take some work!

I’m a social worker, not a CS major.

Firefox, binaries.

Benefits, community and flexibility.

Basically what OP is asking for, yes?

Gentoo, honestly.

The community is much more friendly, the system is probably more arch than arch. The downside is compiling, but big packages have binaries now, and small packages build and install just about as fast as a binary distro.

Good hunting!

And give them a home…

I tried Ubuntu on a laptop, and when i saw the Amazon logo, I did a double take. I actually got a bit dizzy, and had to evaluate what I had just done.

Shame on me though, because I installed Ubuntu on a vps, and got spam in my ssh session. “Get Ubuntu pro now!”

Sigh.

FO3 was my first fallout experience, and I loved it. Currently playing 4, and it’s not as engaging. Some elements are cool (building), but the stories seem flat.

Can you expand on the idea that it’s not a good fallout game? What does that mean? What makes a good fallout game.

Thanks!

It’s not a virtual machine. It’s an operating system running directly on your hardware from a drive. The drive just happens to be a USB stick.

I’ll take this space to further the recommendation to get a cheap machine with which to experiment.

It’s what I did for my business. I needed to keep a Windows laptop for client side interactions.

It’s somewhat ugly, but journal++ works well.
