That’s dinner time for me and tomorrowI’ll be having a first date dinner: we both hope there are going to be good news after those two hours.
Good luck to the both of us!

The FBI is trying to trick me into feeling guilty, too bad I was the firstborn of a single mother and this shit does not work on me anymore

I love myself a bit of Streisand effect in the late afternoon

The yellow slice is not centered and it’s upsetting me

When you burn away that much money, you coping mechanism has to be better than this

What happened to elementary OS?

Gnome 4 came out…

When Windows 10 came out, half of the Windows 7 system got borked. Mine was one of them.
The next day I flashed Ubuntu on a USB stick

Every line is a straight line in one dimension

Mitch Hedberg made this meme

Yeah, he was already on a weird path but after Covid he went down really hard.
I hope he will seek help and get better

Writing from a 3 years old 4a running CalyxOs: the phone is a perfect choice if you want a small sized phone with a 3.5mm jack and that gets constant updates. The camera might be a little better but I don’t take many pictures so I don’t mind.

You’ve been struck by a smooth criminal

Am I the only one that calls my CAT layers stuff like “koala buttfucker”, knowing pretty well that I’m the only one who sees it?

In addition to other people’s comments, flatpaks are usually more up to date than their apt counterpart (expecially those from the debian stable repositories).
I run debian and I deliberately installed some software from flatpak (eg. Ardour and Guitarix) because the deb package is a whole version behind.

In my mind, videogames and music never feel older or younger than they are.
Last week a friend of mine was like “can you believe Kurt Cobain died 30 years ago” and my reaction was “Yes…”

THANK YOU FOR ASKING, NO IT’S NOT.

I know the name ‘Linux’ is used to identify a family of OSs, but in reality it is actually only the kernel (the part of the system that allows hardware and software to communicate)

I wish people could stop trying to teach everyone that Linux isn’t the OS

Over my dead body!

I could use flatpak to get the newest version, but could I then get rid of the pre installed old version?

Of course you can and if you decide to go down this route you should take a look at Flatseal that can help you with flatpak permissions and theming.

debian’s default graphics look also prehistoric. Can I change that installing other styles?

Debian installs Desktop Environments without any theming, just plain vanilla DEs and in most cases, expecially with XFCE, they are not that pretty out of the box. You can still theme it to look and work the way you prefer.

with debian you are asked to choose the environment: xfce, mate… how troublesome is to change those after installation?

sudo apt install new-desktop-environment, log out and log back in selecting a different desktop in the display manager: piece of cake

This doesn’t mean that xubuntu has bloatware, but simply much more pre installed packages, right?

Keep in mind that the 0.7gb debian image is the “netinstall”, which pulls software from repository instead of installing it directly. There are also debian “DVD” images that can be up to 4gb as well. And yes, Xubuntu has more bloatware but not as much as you might believe

Never felt it as judgement :)

It has shortcuts that feel a little more natural to me and the ootb theming makes files more easy to navigate.
I know you can also theme nano but I’m lazy
