Yes. I did use Harris for a little bit before switch to Arch. It was a good easy for me to test before jumping all in.

Manjaro might have been my first step into Linux last year, but it was brief and I switched to Arch. It was brief enough that I didn’t remember if that’s what it was. Glad I made the switch, but a non GUI installation is not for most people.

Edit: Nvm, I used Garuda. I was reminded in another comment. A good stepping stone to experience Arch and KDE.

I hate being the, “I use Arch” guy, but it’s really been a great experience for me with KDE. Minimal issues after a complicated first time setup, but it’s absolutely been worth it. For anyone that’s pretty decent with computers already, and can understand the documentation, I would recommend trying it out. I just converted a laptop the other day to Arch and used archinstall for the first time. It did pretty well other than a couple of small tweaks that most users would never know about in fstab relating to SSDs and LUKS encryption.

There’s a steep learning curve, but it’s made me learn a lot about the Linux operating system and a lot about computers in general.

There was another post on here about Manjaro taking about going opt out on some things that to me is a deal breaker. EndeavorOS has been mentioned a decent amount for a more user friendly Arch based distro. I can’t personally speak about it, but just a little extra but for others going through here.

Sam Reich, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Hank Green to name a few. Also Kyle Gass both for what he said in Australia, but then for deleting his public apology shortly after posting it.

Hawaii is better than Florida in every way. I like Maui the most with Kuaii in a close second. Florida is packed and full of the dumbest people you’ll ever meet. Hawaiians are generally chill. The weather is better in Hawaii and the state is leagues of magnitude prettier. I’ve vacationed multiple times in both states and I would spend the extra to go to Hawaii everytime, both for political reasons and because it’s way better.

I think I bought 1 bottle at 0% and decided I’d rather have the money.

Found this on Reddit years ago, and it’s been my go to since.

Ingredients:

2 lb 80/20 ground chuck

1 lb 90/10 ground sirloin

1 lb smoked sausage

½ lb thick cut bacon (optional)

1 Tbsp butter (optional)

1 large yellow onion, finely chopped

2 jalapeno peppers, diced (w/seeds)

4 serrano peppers, diced (w/seeds if you want it hot)

2 red bell pepper, diced (remove center and seeds)

6 cloves of garlic, minced

3 Ancho chilies

1 Pasilla chile

1 Costeña chile

1 guajillo chile

1 New Mexico chile

Small can of chipotles in adobo sauce

Small can of sun dried tomatoes

29 oz can crushed tomatoes

2 Tbsp cumin

2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar

½ Tbsp red pepper

~12 oz Young’s chocolate stout beer

Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Seed and stem the dried chilies (anchos, pasilla, costena, guajillo, and NM). Heat them in enough water (or chicken stock) to cover the chilies and let them soak for 15 minutes.
2. If including bacon, slice the bacon into squares, and fry in a large pot. When finished, remove the bacon leaving the rendered fat.
3. Over medium high heat, (melt butter if not using bacon) add onion (let onions caramelize for a bit), jalapenos, serranos, and red bells peppers (they should sizzle when you add them) to the bacon fat (or butter) and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions start to turn translucent. Add the garlic about halfway through this step.
4. Add the meat and sausage and cook until fully browned.
5. At this point the chilies should be soft. Remove them from the water (discard water, it will be bitter), and place them in a blender along with the chipotles in adobo sauce and sun dried tomatoes (tomatoes added toward the end).
6. Maybe add some beer to help move everything around.
7. Puree until nice and smooth and then add to chili pot along with crushed tomatoes, spices and everything else. Stir well. Cook at a low simmer for 2-4 hours.

I switched to a vape and progressively got lower nicotine amounts until I was at 0 and then stopping was easy.

Ultrawide 3440x1440 with 120+ refresh. I prefer refresh over pixel density, but love ultrawides.

You never know when you’ll find yourself in a position where there are 20 choices and you just can’t decide.

Same. I have had a couple of hiccups but nothing more than I did gaming on Windows. Overall my transition to Linux, especially for gaming, has gone exceptionally smooth.

I’m curious about this. I’ve started playing with Reaper and getting into music recording and production. I’m very fresh on the scene and haven’t used any DAWs on any other OS, except viewed protools on Mac. I can’t quite get latency free playback, which may just be user error and configs.

Do you know if something like this will have default benefits out of the box, or will we need to somehow configure our apps and services to utilize these changes? I’m completely ignorant but am really intrigued.

I get around $120 a week to sell my plasma in the middle of the US at a BioLife center. Payment varies a little depending on the center you go to and various promotions, but it’s usually pretty close. It’s about 2-3 hours a week commitment.

In college, the money was necessary, but now I do it for extra side cash. My wife and I own a home, two vehicles, and are doing well, so I don’t need the money. I do it to supplement non budgeted items for fun, like weed, one or more snowboarding trips to actual elevation, and bass guitars and bass guitar accessories to name a few. Could it pay more? Probably, but I don’t feel like I’m getting ripped off for the time I’m giving.

I used to double dip, and do my hourly job while donating, which got me out of the office earlier, and got extra money. Now I’m salary and have meetings and shit.

If you can’t miss hours in the 24 hours social media cycle, you should probably cut back your exposure my dude.

Same. Probably about a month ago there was an Nvidia driver and I think Wayland update that took it from unusable on Wayland to quite stable.

Being the only person on one side of a conversation doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in an echo chamber. It could also just mean that you’re wrong.

Broadcom

I would, but a built a SFF build two years ago that supported my 2080ti. Now, no new cards will fit in my case. I ride it til it dies, but I can run Wayland as of about a month ago, so that’s nice.
