  • My toaster oven. By far it is the one small appliance that sees use nearly everyday for something.

    Sometimes I'm reheating pizza, toasting a bagel, using it as a small oven when I don't feel like waiting for my big oven to preheat. It's so versatile I don't know if I could live without it.

  • sigh... i hate to say it but do your updates via command line because it will actually tell you if you need a reboot. As said above, it should only be for Kernel updates, and even then it will tell you that it will switch kernels next reboot and keep running on the current one.

    Most desktop applications for doing updates ask you to reboot not because its needed, but because they are being "safe" or not running with the same user rights as you are in the terminal.

  • Interesting... I saw that there were some controversies but honestly if I avoided everything in my life over every little bit of bad press or disagreement I would have nothing left to eat and nowhere to live.

    I am not sure why any distro that attracts new users is an issue considering we want Linux as a desktop to keep growing as it improves the lives of all having both more users, contributors, and devs building software.

    The main reason I have stuck with Manjaro is that for the most part I dont have to mess with it. I have other computers I mess around with my main PC is where I go when I just want to surf the web, game, and just decompress.

  • I use AUR sparingly for the reasons you describe. It has not been a perfect experience but its been good enough I have had it on my personal gaming machine, and both my kids computers for several years now. I really only use my personal machine for games and for that Manjaro has been fairly reliable, I have run into the credentials bug a few times but its fixable.

    The overall stability has kept me from disto hopping and its been as close to a "it just works" experience I have ever had on linux.

  • Man, um... not sure. I think I installed Manjaro in 2018 or 2019. nice thing about Linux and rolling updates is I have been on the same install and been updating that whole time. Even swapped to a bigger m.2 without any issues.

  • clearly the hive mind seems to think my choice in distro is akin to eugenics!

  • Stop buying trash. No Really, use reusable bags, insulated grocery bags, silicon bags. https://www.amazon.com/Stasher-Bag-Leakproof-Dishwasher-Safe-Eco-friendly/dp/B087XBR564 https://www.amazon.com/BAGHOME-Insulated-Shopping-Grocery-Cooler/dp/B06XJNKMGW https://www.amazon.com/Reusable-Organic-Cotton-Produce-Bags/dp/B07Z2SPLMT/

    Get a compost bucket for food waste rather than tossing it in the trash. Even if you dont compost it, separating food waste from trash means you can bring just the bucket to the dumpster when needed and it wont stink up a half full garbage bag.

    If you buy things that come in packaging ask for scissors or a knife at checkout and cut off the packaging before leaving a store.

    Dont order shit online, again seriously if you dont buy a bunch of junk from Amazon (even though I linked it) you wont have all that packaging that needs to be trashed/recycled.

    If your not buying trash/packaging, and not bringing it home then you wont have to take out that same trash.

  • Depends on your location. Direct order from KC in the US via DHL was about a week. Ordering off their Amazon store is generally whatever the ship time says +- a day for processing.

  • Fusion360 can run under Proton with some *'s

  • it makes me feel bad for my partner who has tried about 1/2 of these and very few have worked as long term solutions.

  • It's extremely low level tritium and the oceans are massive! This release will have nearly no impact and will at worst temporarily raise the area above average background radiation. That fish will deliver less radiation than the ambassadors flight from Washington to Tokyo.

  • Depends on your goals but right now AMD is eating high end thin and lights for dinner. Their new APUs are more powerful, more efficient, and have better graphics than anything from Intel.

    But Intel is also still good and very available with more choices and lower cost due to the higher demand for AMD.

    Both are great Linux choices, but ARM/Apple are currently not great for desktop.

  • This could be a side story on lower decks! They could frame it as an experiment to understand mid 21st century earth entertainment.

  • God everytime!

  • Sure until there is a clean load in the washer and you can't put them back but you can clean the dirty ones until you do.

    And I'm done cases the kitchen is to dirty to put the clean dishes back so you have to just hope for a dish fairy to do it so you can get unblocked.

  • I am not going to worry about it, sounds like a problem for my IT department since they are the ones who insist I use windows for work.

    Me, I will be just fine on my Linux gaming PC.
