    I’ve switched instances since this comment, so I didn’t see it until now, when I’ve just happened to log back in. Really glad to hear things have generally been smooth, that’s a shame about the new device policy, though. I’ve never been a fan of Debian for use on workstations. At least with Flatpak, you can still have updated software nowadays.

    Only issue I had was that the PC freezes if it enters sleep mode.

    Sleep issues are sadly common since sleep is weirdly complicated and motherboards are often bad at properly implementing things in a standard way. They often just implement it well enough that it works on Windows, then forget about it. If you’re lucky, a future motherboard or kernel update might fix it.

    The vast majority of systems won’t have a problem, but when you do, it is a real pain in the ass.

    Jonathan Joss also said a few months ago he burned his house down with his dogs in it after leaving a propane heater on.

    Source? The report I saw said he used a barbecue indoors but that it was turned off and the investigation didnt find it to be the cause.

    Even if he had other issues, the killer still shot him while shouting homophobic slurs at him. It doesnt change it being a hate crime.

    And people who adopt cats shouldnt be adding to the problem. Outdoor cats have a much lower life expectancy than an indoor one, if you let your cat outdoors youre actively putting them in more danger and you shouldnt have them.

    None of the shelters or adoption agencies near me will even let you get a cat if you don’t say it will be kept indoors on the papers. Cats can easily be given the same level of enrichment indoors by playing with them.

    Keeping your cat indoors is only cruel when you don’t care enough about them to play and provide enrichment to make them happy, in which case you shouldn’t have a cat.




  • You could just look at my profile to see that I’m not. I’m also not new to Linux communities in general. Doesn’t change that I’ve never seen someone recommend NixOS to a complete beginner. I have (rarely) seen Arch recommended, but those recommendations will generally be downvoted and have many replies disagreeing. Linux Mint is by far the distro I see most often recommended, followed by Fedora.




  • Samsung updates, they ruin android more and more with each one. The quality of the ROM an android comes with is a very underrated thing to consider when buying. Pixels are very close to stock android. Nothing is also good, farther from stock but the changes are for the better imo. OnePlus was good last time I had one, but not sure if they still are.
