I’m only working now because someone browsed my linked in and asked if I’m open to contract work.

There’s a blast from the past. But WineHQ was never a good or reliable database for this purpose, you were always better off just trying the software and moving to a native alternative if it didn’t work than lean on this for decent information.

I bought that netbook, I actually have it sitting on the floor over here in a pile of e waste that won’t turn on anymore.

But I bought it with the intent to install Crunchbang which I ran on it until it died.

One I’ve always had in the back of my head, because low barrier of entry, is painter.

House painting.

Is the point here to promote Gardiner’s channel/video. If you don’t want to talk about pewdiepie (the gist of all these other comments) you could talk about Gardiner and his videos instead.

Many of those games I had been playing on a 2400g with no dedicated gpu, which is far weaker than the Steam Deck.

When you say you’ve noticed it’s underpowered, did you mean for the games on this list?

Cachyos convinced me to be arch based for the first time since 2010.

I recently had a professional outplacement consultant tell me this, and a few weeks later a recruiter offered me a contract job, after months of nothing.

I haven’t used the Chicago theme, but if you’re in KDE, the Reactionary Plus theme is spot on and works great.

Yes. I lived out a life, got married and everything. When I did wake up I just started crying like everything I had ever known just disappeared.

Looked at this thread to see if anyone mentioned anything like that.

Local shows. I used to go to 3 or 4 a week.

I stopped doing that around 2017 because I was getting too tired. More like two or three a month.

None anymore though. I have kids now and I moved away, there’s no venues out here.

By “concerts” do you mean a big production in a stadium or theatre/hall with seating and tickets are $80/person, that kind of thing? I’ve never been to one.

Appimage. I oily use a few of them, and manage them with GearLever.

I think you’ll find nearly every significant FOSS project will have American contributors software in its development. Typically, anyone who can code and wants to contribute can do so.

What are you talking about being downvoted for that. Ubuntu is not well-liked and switching it out is a common suggestion.

I didn’t know these two girls because they were a few years older, but I knew other kids who did know them. Wasn’t good.

We’d grab our bikes and ride across town. If they saw our bikes were gone they knew we’d be back later.

After the abduction and murder of two local girls, this wasn’t so accepted anymore. Kids were still out and about, but you’d get grilled about where you go, who you’re with, where are you coming home. You were supposed to be at someone’s house, mum would call and make sure that’s where you were. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bega_schoolgirl_murders

I don’t see any kids out around town anymore now though. Just the ones that walk from the bus stop to their house after school. That might just say more about todays youth culture though.

Any project is beneficial if someone is passionate about doing it.

The “this person shouldn’t work on this project, they should work on something that benefits me” line is selfish as hell.

If the projects you see aren’t the projects you want, then DIY. But don’t tell people they wasted their time because you don’t want to use their software.

Are you implying that no younger bands are introspective, or share their thoughts in the world via their songs, because your favourite genre isn’t popular?

Seems like a very bad take.

Don’t try to use it, it’s an old discontinued version of SteamOS based on Debian that was around long before the Steam Deck.

Bazzite will get you a similar experience to the current Steam OS with better desktop experience.

As you’ve been daily driving Linux for 7 years already, I don’t understand what issues you think you’ll have with Arch?
