Manjaro is significantly worse with updates breaking.
I used for a little while in 2018 and again in 2019, both times ended because it once became stuck in a boot loop after updates, and another time couldn’t boot after updates.
I like to recall some wise words of Christmas in these dark times:
Here’s the deal, newbie. You can stuff your stocking with shiny little toys from now until you grow some testicles, but until that stocking is filled with friendship, loyalty, love and devotion, well.. it’s just plumb empty.
And no, you can’t purchase those things at Laura Ashley. And no, you can’t win them in the red book giveaway extravaganza. And, gee, I’m sure if these aren’t things that you can wind up and watch spin for eight hours.
Let me make this exceptionally clear. Christmas is about love. You can’t live without other people’s love. Not during Christmas, not ever.
So go spend this time with your friends and family. And if they laugh at you, laugh with them. And if they laugh at you again, hit them and go find some new friends. But for the love of god, jesus, Mary, and Joseph and his technicolor dreamcoat, don’t ever ever forget this, newbie. You have to give love to get love. So start giving. Now.
My grandma lives in Silverdale, a short walk from Warragamba dam.
There used to be an amusement park there with caged lions. I remember it vaguely from when I was about 5 years old I guess.
But it shutdown and they just left the lions there, fenced into the bushland between the dam and Silverdale. Growing up we’d stay with her every school holidays, and you could hear them roar every so often.
Those bushlands don’t exist anymore. It’s another shitty housing development now.
I can’t say this is your problem, but when I’ve had similar issues with the install getting stuck, it was a corrupted file and redownloading solved it.
While I understand the show had a cult appeal in many countries; Monkey (the live action Journey To The West adaptation from the 70/80s) must have had a pretty big surge in Australia when I was a kid.
I’ve heard new zealanders around my age and older talk about it the same way, but not really people from other countries who tend to remember it for being lame/cheesy but don’t seem to have much attachment to it.
Portrait of Ruin is a direct sequel to Bloodlines/New Generation as well.
Order of Ecclesia is the only ds game that doesn’t rely on touch screen gimmicks too, and it’s so much better for it. Portraits of Ruin is still playable at least without touchscreen, but some of the bonus modes, like playing as the sisters require it. Dawn of Sorrow sadly was absolutely gimped by touchscreen crap, but a romhack is available to remove it.
Unfortunate turn of art style in the DS era too. They lean heavily into a crisp anime style compared to the earlier look of Symphony and the gba titles which were anime inspired but had a very fitting gothic painting style.
And also PCLinuxOS and Mandriva, those were the big recommendations as well. But we’re pre-dating the common distro hopping discussions I think we had in mind by going back that far too.
I’m not discussing quality of distro here, but people’s changing perception of Debian over the years. The way that people currently use/suggest/recommend distros has put Debian more in favour than say 10 years ago, 15 years ago.
It’s always been good depending on use case, but people currently are recommending it more for general use than has been typical before. And I think it is, as you said, that some of those past limiting factors are not a big problem anymore. I did suggest that in my first post.
I think maybe people don’t know about the arcade game.
