The Menemen

Why?

Tbh, I’d much prefer if no one did.

TurkoGerman here and we do that all the time. Our families back in turkey learned enough german by now thay we even do it in turkey…

Same for my tunisian wife (Arabic instead of Turkish though).

True, but that is what did the trick. No tinkering, just a flawless experience (in most cases). This changed everything. No longer I start a game in the evening, wondering if it will start or not (I worked all day, I don’t want to google what I have to change to get the game to run again…). I double click and expect it to work (and it normally does).

There are things to learn from this…

If not Ubuntu, I’d at least stay in the Debian realm.

wonder why they don’t just install Debian with XFCE directly

I think the main reason are the “MX Tools” which get praised a lot. And maybe also the “Advanced Hardware Support” they offer.

As a gamer and a Linux user for more than 20 years this thread is so awesome.

I actually mostly stopped playing sometime in the late 2000s (dual booting was annoying) and restarted around 2017. We have come so far…

That is completly normal in Germany (and most of the rest of this world). Only very few buildings have separate grey water lines.

A"siphon" or “trap” is why this doesn’t cause a smell problem.

Normally a separate grey water line is only used, if the grey water can be used on the property. A separate public grey water collection system is almost unheard of, except in some scientific project related developments (there has been some research into this, but it hasn’t proven to be a reasonable solution, for now at least).

I might have to add that I am a civil engineer specialiced in urban water management. :)

If it works, it works, I guess. It didn’t at our case (clogged too badly, the previous inhabitant did some, weird shit), hence the plumber.

I did it like you did and then the shit water came up the bathtub several cms high. Later attempts changed nothing. Was a disaster. But the plumber went wild and it worked.

You don’t have to get a seal. You just push it in. Then quickly pull it out, push it in, pull it out, push it in, … until the water drains freely again. The pushing-pulling iteration creates enough negative pressure to get the job done quickly without a seal. But don’t wear your best clothes.

I always did it wrong, until a plumber showed me how to do it.

(Side note, this is for a european/german toilet. Might be different in the US, US toilets are just insane.)

I think 70°C for a long enough time is already enough. But yeah, I’d also throw it away.

I use Kubuntu. It is defintly not the best Distro. I am just used to it and too lazy to get used to another distro. My days as a distro jumper lie 15 years back…

Tbh though, I might switch to Debian stable whenever Trixie comes out.

My father had an Osborne 1. Loved it, played so many hours of Space Invaders on it. :)

During an overnight school trip a friend of mine used a showerhead as a pipe and inhaled a shitton of lime scale.

Lol, never watched it, I don’t like Star Wars. But I just watched that scene on youtube. Lol, like they’d intentionally tried to have the worst take on physics.

Kubuntu is just really well polished. It works really well and stable nowadays. Only downside is snap.

Also have a look at Linux MX. Also very well polished and some really good tools.

On a notebook it still can be troublesome. I know from very recent Asus TUF experience…

Fedora or Ubuntu. But I’d say the important part is that they probably provide all necessary drivers.

Ubuntu. But I think that will be almost everyones answer who started with Linux in the late-mid 2000s.

Edit: Oh wait. Might have been Knoppix to resuce some data from a broken windows installation.

Also darktable, rawtherapee, DigiKam and Krita. Not sure if those are suited to professional work, but for amateurs they are more than enough.
