If you’re coming from something like windows or non atomic distros, there is a learning curve. Just be aware that you should not install packages manually. You can’t simply do something like: sudo apt install package

There is an app store where you can install probably 95% of what youd need (bazaar), start there and if it isn’t there you can spin up a distrobox.

I do dev work, so I have a dedicated box with Ubuntu that I have my build tools and vscode installed on.

This is really nice because it allows me to run experiments without nuking my main distro, it just feels really weird at first to be running most things containerized.

They do have recipes for common things if it needs to run on the host, like I have something added for controlling AMD GPU fan speeds/power profile.

Yeah I use bazzite as a general desktop distro. It’s incredibly stable and the atomic nature really has grown on me.

And we’re at 1000 and counting dead in Iran. This mfs only legacy will be the pile of bodies left in his wake.

It’s pretty disturbing how the president can decide to kill thousands all on a feeling and all without authorization from Congress

Why should one man get to decide the fate of thousands and the destiny of an entire country?

After he leaves office we have serious work that we need to do to reform the executive branch and to formally strip away all the powers that we have been warned about.

Nobody wanted this, the way wars are waged has changed and I think it’s only a matter of time until there are strategic drone attacks at home that we’ll call terrorist attacks.

Iran has every right to defend itself. I don’t want Americans to be killed, but ffs what did this administration expect?

This guy still has 40% approval. It’s hard to even fathom

What’s absolutely bonkers is the DHS went out and immediately called her a domestic terrorist. Our tax dollars paid to kill her and post propaganda on x defaming her.

They put the public at risk by using force. Literally created the situation to kill her by having a goon step in the path of travel

A group of men with guns surrounded her car and she fucking panicked. It’s not surprising she attempted to flee, it doesn’t take that much brain power to know to never use your body to stop a car and even the police would never use their bodies to stop a fuckin car.

There was no verbal warning, there was no negotiation with her. Nothing. She got murdered because she didn’t comply. Fucking pigs.

Except openai and all their investors

I don’t think he understands how open source works…

I think this has value even if it doesn’t cause immediate change. People need to just get out and express how they’re feeling and network with like minded people instead of sitting online doomscrolling. We’ve got to organize.

Yes please. For the love of God it’s not too late.

I get the feeling of defeat. It sucks. But we must come together and stop this fascist takeover before it’s too late, whether you’re a conservative, liberal, or leftist we need to join hands and fight for a nation for the people. Luigi was a right leaning libertarian.

Seriously, the train has left the station and if we don’t derail this train now it’s going to mean we’re finally handing all of our remaining power to self important narcissistic billionaires. America isn’t for sale and it’s not a business, it’s our home, it belongs to us. These gross conmen pricks who think they know more than us because they got lucky in life think they can just take everything away by force.

What happened to conservatives? What happened to “my rights end where yours begin”. This shit is asinine, absolute trash.

The trans folks I know are the most joyful, positive people I know. They do not deserve to be stripped of their joy and identity. The next 2 years I suspect will be a long, hard road.

If you’re bipolar or predisposed to things, yes!

Joe is old as fuck, nobody needs to assassinate him. He could do it, he’s out in one month anyways.

It’s almost like … universal healthcare would make our economy stronger and the insurance companies are the leaches…

This last election made me into an anarchist for now. I do not believe there is any way to salvage this system we have in any meaningful way. I’m not a violent person so I can’t see myself doing anything like Luigi, but Democrats aren’t going to save anyone and are just one part of the problem.

I think Donald could be the death blow to our country as more and more of our social contract is upended, especially with talks of killing the ACA and other popular programs.

He had everything on him to get caught and convicted. I don’t think he wanted to run forever.

Brain drain will happen after prices skyrocket and folks are expected to wait it out. Places like Spain are cheap, but generally have a better qol than most places in America.

If European countries want to open their doors to distraught Americans I think it’s a great idea because there are a lot of highly educated, highly skilled folks here that might just be done with the bs once maga really begins to churn.

Genuine question: why not try Linux? You’ll continue to get updates without the nagware. There are very few games I play that cant run on proton at this point.
