It’s been so long that I’ve gamed on Windows that I’ll have to take your word for it.


The grapuh of Linux suitability as a function of user skill is a U. At the bottom of user skill, you’ve got your aunt who needs a Chrome bootloader. Linux is perfect for them, maybe better than Windows.
As you get into the middle, you get into “I just need to use Photoshop” or “I just want to play Valorant”. It’s gotten to where software that doesn’t run on Linux is a deliberate choice, but they’re still out there. Gaming has been easing up in large part due to Valve, so the middle of the U has been rising, but it’s still a big dip.
At the top end you’ve got the computer science types developing all these internet and AI based systems almost all of which run on Linux servers in the back end. Linux dominates literally every computing platform except desktops.


The same people who named the B-52 the Big Ugly Fat Fucker: The USAF.


Many of our GAU-8s have A-10s installed on them. One fewer now, apparently.


Back when Fairchild Republic was called Fairchild Monarchy.


After about a decade on Mint I ended up on Fedora.


Come over to my house, I’ll set you to work pulling the kudzu down out of the trees.


Why I will never join a gym. I can do pushups in my living room.


Which is why I said “or endorsed by”. Fedora’s Discover points to their own .rpm repo, their own flatpak repo, and Flathub. Including Flathub out of the box says “We the distro maintainers trust Flathub.”


I look at it this way: The repository is hosted by, or endorsed by, the developers of the distro. If you don’t trust their software repository, why would you trust the distro itself?
Give Rayforge a try.
The fairies in A Link to the Past were on a spectrum between Tinkerbell gossamer wings and a tiny dress, to angelic bird winged and long gowns. When a fairy appeared on screen, there would be soothing harp music.
On the N64, fairies were either firefly like glow balls with insect wings, or…pointy, head-tentacled, vine clad women that screech like a witch when they emerge or retire?
Chicks going to cons cosplaying as Lara Croft with half a shoebox up her shirt will never stop being funny.


Yes.


I got real into Zero Punctuation about a decade ago, so I’d watch a load of 5 minute youtube videos back to back.
It would serve me the same goddamn ad for a Mission Impossible movie between every one. The ad had this hateful nasally music that went “ready or not, here I come.”
I have not paid for a movie ticket, a streaming service, or a new DVD or Blu-Ray since then. Brain surgery with a backhoe, cut your pineal gland off at the waist. Fuck your entire sector of industry, Tom Cruise.


Nyet, is called three-day special military operation.
It’s more like the RC Cola version of iPadOS but your main idea holds up.
GTK fully expands to GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation Tool Kit.
