Those of you that paid attention during the evolution and creationism (the round 2) fiasco should be familiar with what's going on right now.

Anti-Woke stuff is ridiculous.

Was funny when they said they needed more original games like Hi Fi rush after firing the people that made Hi Fi rush.

At restaurants in London they would ask for still or sparkling and my friends and I would say, "London's finest" aka tap water is good bro.

Due to some recommendations I am using Bazzite.

I thought it was a bit of a locked down OS due to what I was used to. I realized that's because of what it's built on top of on? Like you should be using distrobox to boot up different terminals to install packages and stuff. It took me a little while to get used to it and I quite enjoy it. Although I suck getting wezterm to have a shortcut that will detect custom colours when booting into my specific container.

POP OS has been pretty good for me as well. Overall, quite happy with my Linux experience.

Thanks to this one comment alone I stayed up a few hours last night to switch to Bazzite.

I had a few oddities with Pop OS and I wanted to turn off the fans and do stuff. The fact that Bazzite had it all rolled in is impressive. The keyboard worked immediately. I don't think I read the instructions well enough but I figured out I was supposed to use bazzite as the pw to get in.

This is what I think I was looking for, at least from what I see so far!

Thanks so much!

Take it easy Lionel Hutz.

hmm, I still think I want to use my laptop for media and gaming and general stuff ... I'm leaving next week so I may try a safer OS in the mean time. I think when I get back I definitely want to delve deeper into Bazzite. I think I wanna see if Bazzite would be a good match for my friend. He was thinking about an XBOX Asus ROG Ally X and I was saying that it's quite pricey if you're not going to use the handheld component. He said he just wanted a console-like experience so he can just turn it on and play and that he has a Mac for his other stuff. I'm reading the Bazzite github repo and it says: "Directly boots to Game mode matching SteamOS's behavior." for the Home Theatre PCs which is what seems to match for him.

Pika OS is looking pretty good. The website is saying all the things that I like!

The laptop has an RTX 4000 card so it looks like I'll need the specific OS, but I think it was the same as Pop OS. I had to download a specific Nvidia distro version as well, so it's very similar here. I'll give it a spin shortly!

As an English "whose-a-ma-whats-it", I feel like a lot of us don't care much for the monarchy as well. I don't speak for all obviously. Many of my friends need to keep up with Royal Family drama for some reason.

In short, government measures—like removing U.S. wine from store shelves or imposing tariffs—had clear, measurable impacts. The same cannot be said of consumer boycotts. While individual choices may have shifted behaviour at the margins, the data reveal no consistent or large-scale changes in imports outside of tariffed goods.

I was hoping I'd see more elbows up consumer-wise. I know there has been less travel in general.

I mean ... you don't have to tell me that my opinion isn't popular, it's demonstrable. My opinion is statistically insignificant.

There's a plethora of other things I'd give up like have a slighter bigger phone or a worse camera or wireless charging... I'd also trade those for an SD card slot but no one agrees with me and it's just something I need to live with.
