KDE is pretty enough that I’m willing to put up with my decade-old laptop freezing every time I switch windows
Cinnamon is reliable enough that I’m willing to put up with it being kinda ugly on my desktop PC
I still don’t know enough about Linux to have any opinions deeper than aesthetic differences

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was it like the first time you had to call 911?
2·2 months agoThankfully boring. Empty wrecked SUV blocking some side street at like 4:00 am. It was a Saturday with a bunch of shootings and fights, so it took them like 20 minutes to send someone out to check on it.
I do wish I had asked to be updated with info about it. Was it stolen? Is the driver OK? No idea

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama.

Mint is considered the best replacement for Windows because Cinnamon more closely resembles Windows. Personally I can’t stand GNOME, but I’ve heard it more closely resembles macOS
I’m confused. Are you blocking users that harass you, or communities where they’re talking amongst themselves? Because like. Ofc they’re going to talk about veganism in a community centered around veganism, and they’re gonna react poorly when you barge in complaining about them. That’s like saying chess players are particularly annoying because they don’t like hearing how much chess sucks on /r/chess
It’s the vegan choice for linux, in that actual users of it aren’t actually that annoying, but everyone else plays up the stereotype so much that y’all think they actually are
I don’t use Arch btw and also I’m not vegan

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What websites do you find useful in everyday life?
5·4 months agoJust be sure you know the difference between editions. 5e.tools is for the new 5e rules, and 2014.5e.tools is for the real ones

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•It's midnight and you're hungry. You go to Wendy's for a Dave's Double combo. You sip your diet coke and a genie pops out that asks you "How old would you like to be forever?". What's your answer?
3·4 months agoGotcha, I misread your comment. I guess if immortality is not optional, I can see the appeal of at least seeing what happens to human who makes it to that unfathomable age

3·4 months agoI’ve read enough of Wikipedia’s timeline of the far future to know that I do not want to live forever. Get back in the coke.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What game changing item*s can you buy for $100 or less?
7·8 months agoI’ve never actually used an expensive rice cooker, but the $15 one I got at [department store] works perfectly for me. This video sold me on the beautiful simplicity of it, and it’s my favorite kitchen instrument

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What game changing item*s can you buy for $100 or less?
4·8 months agoYup, for rice cookers, the cheaper the better. Anything with a gasket ain’t worth the cleaning effort

Linux@programming.dev•Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi
7·8 months agoI have a decade old lenovo yoga that still lasts like 40 minutes unplugged. Idunno how much a UPS that can supply a desktop for that long would cost, nor if that’s an embarrassingly short time, but it works well enough for me
The virgin USB: hey, uh, when you get a chance, uh, if it’s not too much trouble, could you, uh, put an ‘e’ there? Whenever you get the chance is fine
The chad PS/2: THE USER SAID E.
Yeah, that is lie 48 characters that we’d had to pass by phone and they have to type it flawlessly.
Wouldn’t be so bad if everyone knew their Alpha Bravo Charlies
My one talent: alpha bravo charlie delta echo foxtrot golf hotel India Juliet kilo Lima mike November Oscar papa Quebec Romeo Sierra tango uniform Victor whiskey x-ray Yankee Zulu, typed using voice to text

What kind of ports does that laptop have?
