Can you imagine being the person that hit that button today? Jesus.

All data centers use lots of water for cooling.

Midwesterner here. This is correct. Though it’s missing anti-abortion ads and the PORN DESTROYS ALL LIVES signs that always follow the Adult Superstore ones.

I’ve never been polled. Fuck a poll.

-b gets all logs for the current boot, -k shows kernel messages (what dmesg gives).

Fedora has an official package of it as well.

I guess I could have taken solving the depencies for granted. I’ve built and installed it on both Arch and Fedora but obviously those repos would be more up to date.

Hyprland is surprisingly easy to build/install from source.

Also Garuda :(

It also uses the Red Hat RPM package format and a different package manager. But it just amounts to a few different commands to learn if you manage packages on the command line.

Keep an eye out for Cosmic Desktop release news.

I don’t know the difference between a terminal and a terminal emulator, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.

Lately using Foot since that’s what my distro shipped with.

1. The only other things that stick out to me are distro philosophy and release schedule. Like, do you want a completely community oriented distro, a corporate one, one with LTS-style releases, or rolling releases? These things may or may not make a difference.

2. The best way imo is to install Ventoy to a USB drive, then load it up with ISOs from distros you are interested in. Then you can boot into their live sessions and test drive them. But ultimately, you can almost always get Linux software running on any distro. The differences are whether a distro comes with something out of the box, or if it even has your desired apps in its official repos.

3. btop, Steam, Discord, Firefox. These are all available on all distros. Things like the file system browser - I don’t care as much and just use what the distro provides by default.

4. Run a package update then install whatever other apps you want. For me, also set up auto mount of a couple network drives provided by my NAS.

5. You should not be concerned about this unless you are building things from source.

6. Probably… I used and gamed on Kubuntu for 2 years and had an excellent experience.

I have no knowledge about or experience with immutable distros, but I’ve been maining the Fedora KDE spin on my laptop for several major releases now and so far have found no reason to switch away from it. The Plasma Wayland session has been solid from the beginning and everything has just worked.

barges just haven’t been ported to railways yet

Fuck yea, here we go
