Which distros aren’t set and forget?

I use Arch btw

Use Arch Linux. There’s a script called “archinstall” you can use after connecting to the internet, and it’s basically a guided installer

Ignore him, you always have the blessing to explain the fediverse

To be honest, there’s a certain subset of women who love it when guys go full removed. If you are obsessed with cheese, and can talk about cheese with passion in a way to captivate any audience, then don’t hide or downplay it. Literally talk about cheese like you’re a 2am Youtuber and girls will love it.

Currently watching a cringe dating video and I need to yeet a few off my chest:

Guys: For the love of God, ASK HER QUESTIONS. Awkward silence? Ask her about her family. She is asking about you? Ask about her passions. Her last hobbies. Everyone loves talking about themselves. If you like a girl, make her talk and she will like you.

For anybody: See someone cute at school? At the gym? Strike up convo about literally anything - “Oh damn nice shoes, where did you buy them?” - Feed this and later ask for their Insta. Instagram is public enough people will give it out, but private enough you can follow up in DMs later

While dating: Do things to make him/her happy. Don’t expect anything back. Do their chores. Buy them a gift. Take them on a surprise date. Be happy when they’re happy.

Something tells me they didn’t ride in a self driving car

I read this post yesterday and I went back to find it to write a response.

First, let me clarity when I give advice, I speak my mind, saying what I would do if I know what I know now but were in your shoes. It isn’t intended to make you feel better, but genuinely a matter of “this is the easiest way to reach my goals”.

First, let’s address the problems you can fix, and ignore the ones you can’t. You say you’re 76 IQ, but to be honest you wrote a more comprehensive post than most people can. In any case, check out this video by a guy who claims to have 70 IQ and how he holds down a job at McDonalds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjDXvXACIEA

Why a job at McDonalds? For a few reasons:

1. You already live with your friend. You’re not about to be homeless. This is the best time to start working.
2. Getting a job means getting experience working. You might not think much of it now, but that’s step 1 to getting a job at a company with a union, or a company that will offer you full time for health insurance
3. Getting a job will preoccupy your time. You can’t quit drugs and alcohol if you’re not distracting yourself with something else
4. A new job means meeting new people and learning new things. You might find another path yourself
5. McDonald’s will let anybody interview and start working. So you can get this job

Second, you need a long-term plan. This is why I mentioned a full time job with a union: it doesn’t matter if it’s an Amazon Warehouse or a Walmart, a union will look out for your best interests. They will give you a livable future and be the backbone you need for support, since it seems you can’t turn to your family for that.

Getting a job at a company with a union is harder, but that’s why you do step 1 first. When you have experience and a reputation working, these doors will always be easier to open up.

Post in the community, shill it in threads

I made it one comment past this one before seeing such things

Compared to 5.1x days, it’s much more stable on Arch Linux. I haven’t had issues since 6.2 I think (always on latest)

Oh damn that’s actually something I want

No, it means that your name may be read out loud

PSA: You can sign the petition even if you’re not a European national. I registered and signed as a Canadian myself and it accepted it

Surprised this is still getting developed and not on life support

Obligatory please-stop-releasing-new-distros-and-just-improve-exiting-things-instead

Serious answer? XFCE doesn’t support multiple monitors with different refresh rates. So that.

Some of the other answers (like Meta (aka Windows Key) not working for shortcuts) can be hacked around, but unless you switch to a DE that supports Wayland, you will never have stable multi refresh rate differences on multiple monitors.

This is key - goals!

Why are you done with it?

I just bought a skateboard and I’m going to head to the skate park, alone. So I would say one tip (of many) is don’t limit yourself to social stigmas and have fun!

Like Newpipe someone could make a Flatpak of it (if there’s demand)
