Arch + KDE win

All day Christmas, if Brad hosts family at his house.

Plotting?

This game is from 23 years ago and you get your magic from Skittles.

Yeah lol I tried the Tabbed UI and then went back after it was unusable

So she’s a 20?

Your local library may have some!

The text is not, the photo of Michael C Hall is. Mainstream memes are largely connected by phrases and iconography, e.g. YouTube comments.

These are Whispers, which is an app that lets you post anonymously but all posts must have a background photo (that I think you choose from the Whisper database), which is why there’s a ton of random memes with random photos behind them. Also, Dexter-related memes are currently hot, and that’s Dexter himself, so it’s not quite so random.

EDIT: These may have come from Pinterest as well, I’ve seen a lot on there like that when looking them up

Yeah, looks like it’s just preinstalled with Pro.

Kinda bogus that they’d use that as a selling point. Makes it seem like there’s some sort of exclusivity.

I think it’s just a really good Windows-like. It uses a modified GNOME that looks pretty good. Though as a KDE fangirl, I probably wouldn’t be able to see it as anything other than GNOME. (◕દ◕)

It’s based on Ubuntu, so I’m sure support is good and breakage is infrequent.

It also looks like you can pay $50 and get access to the pro version, which can mimic any of the major desktops and also lets you use their exclusive creative suite. If that’s any good, it’s no wonder people are flocking to it. Linux is still kinda mid for creatives.

Kinda seems like the new Mint, not that Mint is going anywhere.

I would tackle some of the sloppiness of Fallout’s lore in relation to the Bethesda games.

Primarily, I’d set Fallout 3 like 25 years after the bombs instead of 200. It never made sense to me that creatures or people can survive 200 years in a location with poison water. I’d have to take out the Ghouls or alter the lore there a bit, though.

I’d revamp the plot of Fallout 4, either making it totally about the synths or removing them entirely, and also set it shortly(ish) after the bombs fell. Bethesda doesn’t necessarily make bad games, they just don’t fully consider established canon before making creative decisions. Which irks me tremendously, because really all you have to do is hire one obsessed nerd and run decisions by him.

2025 YOU’RE JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE DAY I LOST YOU

With how much talk of breaking your install goes around, I assumed it would be a challenge. I run pacman -Syu almost every time I update lmao.

Some people are enthusiasts that want to take the training wheels off and challenge themselves. I use CachyOS, which is Arch-based, because it thrashes everything else almost every time in speed tests. Thus far, it hasn’t proven to be more complicated than the Debian-based distros I’ve used. I also wasn’t expecting better features in Arch with certain programs. Being able to get the absolute newest version of a package at all times has proven to be much more useful to me than detrimental.

I really love CachyOS. It’s so fast. I’ve been seeing lots of reports of performance issues in The Outer Worlds 2, and I’ve gotta say I’m not experiencing any of that.

Just make sure you familiarize yourself with some of the quirks of Arch, such as why you might want to use a program like Timeshift for backups, or the risks of the AUR.

Also, get a flash drive and back up your important files, just in case. I have done full system upgrades every time I upgrade, and I haven’t had issues with my system yet. But with Arch, you gotta be careful.

Pop!_OS and CachyOS are the two I always recommend for people with nVidia. The best option for Linux, quite frankly, is to switch to AMD. However, both of those should be preconfigured for your GPU. I’ve been loving CachyOS, and my friend with nVidia has been too.

Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey

That plot is batshit wild, and I think it hinges on a bootstrap paradox. But that’s the point. It’s Bill and Ted, they just deal with it as Bill and Ted do. From robot clones, to Death, to death, to Hell, to Heaven, to Smokey and the Bandit III, it’s a perfect film.

I second CachyOS. That shit just works on every machine I slap it on.

Yeah, you’re a bit SOL for CAD and drawing. I mean, Krita is great, but if you use Adobe you’re fucked.

I hear so many complaints about FreeCAD… Maybe we’ll be there someday.
