I say fuck it let’s give him another 10 spinoffs we have nothing to lose anymore

I have been extremely disappointed with the broader Linux ““community”” at times, but never Linux.

There was a Ted Talk a while back (I can’t remember who) where they said “I have always wanted to give a Ted Talk… but when I got selected to do this I realized that what I really wanted was to say I had given a Ted Talk”. Meaning they want to be known as someone who had given a Ted Talk, not actually go through the process of writing and delivering the Talk.

People who write open source code do it because they like the process of writing, just like an author enjoys writing books. LLMs are for people who just want to be able to say they have written a book. People who slop-code aren’t actually interested in learning how to code. Which is a fine toy for them to play with, but not sustainable (or reliable for others to use).

Yes exactly and I always consider Steam (and to a lesser degree the Kindle ecosystem), which make it obvious to me that interoperability and convenience are something consumers are willing to pay for.

This was my exact journey, though I eventually landed on immutable Fedora with KDE. Zorin is a great OS but it’s in a weird space because it’s probably already too simple for anyone who knows what Linux is.

That’s an awesome story and I agree he was great in that role.

Oh fun I will have to check it out

everybody needs to be on their best behavior for the next few weeks ok

He should have won best actor for his performance as “Ian” in Jungle 2 Jungle.

The fact that it lost to American Beauty that year is a travesty

Colm Meaney’s performance in Layer Cake is simply astounding!

I would put Duck Tails 2, but still- why are they so dang replayable??

Yeah, they also mentioned that it was difficult to capture it in photos:

The facial sculpt by Dean Tolliver features an enigmatic smile typical of the character, and like a lot of EXO’s sculpts, this one is hard to capture just in photographs.

Awesome!

Steamroller is a great name. I built a similar SFFPC with Bazzite a few years ago but if I was in the market I would probably choose this over the Steam Machine (as cool as it is).

Crazy that this was uploaded almost exactly one year after it went off the air. Also crazy that that was twenty years ago!

50 upvotes and yet half the comments here are “it worked for me OP must be using it wrong” and the other half are "Using Plex is worse than bombing Palestinian children "

I’m going to complain about this until it happens and then enjoy it and then continue complaining for another ten years BUT after that I will pretend I always thought it was brilliant and beloved nugget of Trek lore.

Fedora has two immutable distros KDE (Kinoite) and GNOME (Silverblue) and both are excellent and very stable.
