The whole Recall thing is what finally made me get off my lazy ass and make the jump to Linux. I chose PopOS, and I’ve been very impressed with the out-of-the-box experience. Between Steam and Lutris, I can play just about any game I want to.

It feels like I actually own my laptop now.

I told one of my friends that Walz looks like the kind of guy that if he came over to your house, he’d find something to fix.

PopOS for me. I have played around with Linux in the past, but never seriously dived into it. The whole Windows 11 Recall fracas changed that. I went with Pop because it’s an out-of-the-box distro. Everything just works, and it has Nvidia and AMD graphics support baked in. I used to not like Gnome, but it’s kinda growing on me now. Then again, that’s the beauty of this OS: Don’t like the desktop environment? Download a new one from a bunch of alternatives. Current distro not floating your boat? Make some bootable USB drives of different distros and take them for a test run.

It’s a beautiful thing.

I dunno. I like their earlier stuff.

THIS.

I’d take a sandcrawler over a cyber truck any day of the week.

Thanks very much!

I regret upgrading to 11 on my home machine. I want to either go back to 10, or just migrate to Linux Mint. Only two things stopping me from jumping is a) My graphics are Nvidia, and b) making time for it.

Thank you!

Forgive me if I am hijacking the thread, but does anyone have a recommendation for a chair that can accommodate a big dude? Like 330 lbs or so? I ordered one off Amazon, and it didn’t last 6 months.

Try LibreWolf or Floorp.

Most definitely! You even get those features in the free tier.

It has note version history. https://help.notesnook.com/note-version-history

I got the announcement via my Skiff mail. I went to get on their Discord to see what was up, but it’s gone. They nuked it.

Shady AF.

I’ll throw in a recommendation for Notesnook. It’s available on all platforms, syncs across devices, is e2e encrypted, handles tables, and you can organize notes via notebooks, If you need to get a bit more granular, you can subdivide notebooks via topics. It also handles markdown. I pay around $5.00/month for a pro account, and am getting more than my money’s worth.

I haven’t used it in a while, but I liked Openshot when I found myself having to edit some video.

"I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.

Armistice Day has become Veterans’ Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans’ Day is not.

So I will throw Veterans’ Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don’t want to throw away any sacred things."

• Kurt Vonnegut, from his book “Breakfast of Champions”

I’m a happy Notesnook user, here. And they have tables.

Still playing Elder Scrolls Online. It’s my go-to these days. There’s just do much to do in that game.

Thank you for this!
