Why are your prices so high there? Double what we are at here

I went to an event in Alberta, at lunch break I looked at the restaurants in the events center. My vegetarian option was French fries. The rest was hamburger, beef on a bun, beef soup, beef kebabs etc

Seems cheaper where we are $89 CAD so €68. 1 gig RAM is plenty for a router. I’m running OpenMediaVault Samba shares and MiniDLNA on 256MB RAM and it doesn’t max out. More RAM would be wasted on a router.

Mint is a solid choice for being a dependable install.

Hardware sometimes makes install / use different amongst everyone.

I.e. I had an old Dell Server Tower from 2007, it would not stay shutdown, so had to add a kernel quirk parameter value to boot options tell the components not to rewake the motherboard on shutdown

I use the Super key on Gnome DE all day long. Moving windows around the Desktop, moving to other desktops, going to the overview, etc. Its all configurable shortcuts in keyboard and tweaks.

Its not a big problem like it is made out to be. There are some distros that don’t ship nVidia drivers (and so you have to find the repo in your distro that does come contain it. I.e. Debian has an repo for it that isn’t readily advertised) so some people have had a hard time. Some distros are just a checkbox this add nVidia. Some like SUSE/OpenSUSE have a repo that nVidia specifically hosts and maintains. So results vary, but I can say I have not had issues with nVidia

Pretty good rant.

If anyone likes pumpkin pie for thanksgiving, but doesn’t want to use milk/eggs…this recipe turns out amazing, and family didn’t notice it was Vegan. https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-pumpkin-pie/

It really depends on where you live. Being in BC we have so many Vegan and Vegetarian places that finding food outside of the home is easy. Visiting Calgary AB though, good luck.

As a Vegan, I can honestly say some Vegans are the worst. LOL. And I have found through the online rave review of products that Vegans are liars too. :)

When my wife brings a product home that had great reviews by Vegans, I’m like ah crap, this is going to be shite.

I never have used any, so I don’t know what the drugs would help with. I see it as just biding time and not reducing suffering long term. A person involved with homeless here in BC said drug use just prolongs the inevitable path to suicide. Oof.

Something like https://porteus-kiosk.org/

Fully Locked down browser, cache cleared on restart, user can’t change settings etc

Heh. Only reason I knew this they were my sister’s frequent buy in the 80s

They sold sour Jawbreakers from WilliWonka brand, Dino Eggs Sours. Notice bottom right Jawbreaker written on it. These are what I was thinking of. https://www.candywrappermuseum.com/dinasoureggs.html

On your next distro hop try OpenSUSE with Gnome. Gnome will prompt when the system has updates for you and you just hit the update button. If you want to add remove software use the Yast2 Software GUI tool. You search a software, check the package you want and hit finish. All the system admin can be Done with YAST2 GTK GUI. No need for terminal

Jaw breakers and sour tarts were big in the 80s when I grew up

Lots of sour candies from early 1900s till the year you mentioned. Lifesavers had sour since the 20s. Jawbreakers and toxic waste brand since the 70s. Lick-a-Stick, Sherbert Sour Powder, etc

I lost data on Windows in 2010. Since them I have had a decent UPS. Cheap insurance

Yep, this entry explains about btrfs zfs and powerloss reovery, but that buggy hardware could mess with that system. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/340947/does-btrfs-guarantee-data-consistency-on-power-outages#520063

My system has been btrfs since 2017. No issues. Maybe you have random powerloss?

So Technically No. Our proprietary CAD was only supported and certified to work on RHEL or SUSE. I wanted to test before commiting to a distro. So I went with OpenSUSE leap since it shares SUSE binaries and has same release and service cycle. It installed and functions well on OoenSUSE While not identical to SUSE, I can say all the complaints I saw online of things not working in Linux were working for me. They sort of have to on a paid distro with support, so it seems to carry to OpenSUSE with the same binaries

1. nVidia hosts a repo specifically for SUSE and OpenSUSE ( probably RHEL too) it meany adding that nvdia url and updating in Yast2 GUI. Everything works, no tearing, no glitches, nVidia app for thermal settings or tweaking.

2)btrfs works. I saw lots of complaints of people saying btrfs filled their drive, etc. SUSE / OpenSUSE as jobs establishes to monitor number and age of snapshots and remove automatically as needed as well as cleaning tools. It all runs behind the scenes.

3. patches, people complain they don’t know if a CVE affects them, if they have applied a patch or not, what package etc. On SUSE/OoenSUSE you have several patch, patches, lp commands that show you what has been released, what level and whether your system has it installed, not required, critical etc. Keeping up with CVE and patches is easy.

I assume RHEL will also have these types of perks to make some aspects easier
