  • I think there’s a difference between “these are a huge waste of time, and always has been. Reddit slop!”

    And

    “Man, these comics aren’t for me. The punchline never lands, or the art style is a bit strange and takes me out of it”, etc.

    The first kind of negativity contributes very little to any sort of discussion other than to be inflammatory. The second one actually invites the discussion you mention in the comment I’m replying to.

    'least… that’s how I see it.





  • I think I’m at the top of mount stupid, because I’m certainly not competent.

    I started with Linux Mint and daily drove that for a while. Really liked it too. Then I noticed that screen sharing ssssuuucked when playing games, and since Mint’s Wayland didn’t want to work on my machine, I decided to jump ship.

    I’m currently on Nobara (Glorious Eggroll’s Fedora flavor) and… it’s just pretty easy to work with.

    Or maybe I’m at the know nothing stage, along with PopOS




  • I think a lot of documentation just fly over my head. I have a masters degree in mathematics, but so many manuals have such deeply ingrained “tribal” language that everyone takes for granted that you know.

    If you have a good starting point for a poor linux noob to read manuals, hit me up.

    (That being said, I DO read the manuals for appliances and all that. THAT stuff is luckily easy)


  • Hmm. You just had me thinking if that’s true or not. I think money is an interesting thing. Inherently, it has no value, it’s not rare, it’s not useful. It is only useful because we as a society believe that it now has value. But that’s more of a “we all decided that money is now worth something.” Like… a question of definition.

    Another is safety. A society that believes they’re safe will probably have a lot less tension and infighting than a society that believes they’re unsafe.

    On the other hand, you might erroneously believe that a bike helmet makes you much safer in traffic, to the point where you may ride more recklessly than otherwise and therefore be less safe than if you hadn’t worn a helmet…




  • I’ve started using Nobara recently, and I like it a LOT. Makes it really easy for a noob like me to both play games and edit videos. I actually made a Monster Hunter video entirely in Linux with Davinci Resolve, and it worked really well. I’ve been an adobe tool my entire editing life, but I really like the switch I recently made :)
