I’d work on my car and my computer/gamedev stuff, and teach others to do the same. Also more gardening.

I bought a box of spoons at the Business Costco and now this is my whole life

Getting my Pinephone Pro up and running, and getting away from Google forever, finally. Also I’m gonna make the jump from Arch to either Gentoo and/or Guix, I think.

Yeah, I prefer a direct and honest approach. If it ends up that you lose friends over it, those friends may not be worth keeping.

Look at this guy and his bootstraps, everyone!

Unfortunately, everything is political, and this has always been true, and will never not be, as long as humans exist. If you were able to ignore politics, it just means you were unaware of them, likely because they weren’t hurting you or anyone you cared about. The uptick in “toxic” posts in the last decade is because more people are in danger now, and are highly aware of it, and more people are actively dangerous, and are stirring the pot. It didn’t get more political, it got more dangerous.

Seriously, this should be illegal. Every game blasts you with full volume and no way to turn it down until later. Then the reasonable setting is like 10%. I’m in the habit of taking my headphones off when I start a new game.

Pretty sure Hyprland will do this. I have seen it make some stupid small windows

Yeah Hyprland is great and very easy. Just make sure you have kitty installed or change the default config to use your preferred terminal and getting set up shouldn’t take long. The Hyprland docs also have tons of recommendations for other good software.

Californian here, I’d love some $6 gas. Paid $6.59 for 91 the other day.

Linuxcommand.org is a great start. Writing shell scripts and using cli programs for things you actually need and will use will greatly accelerate learning. I stopped using a file manager entirely to force myself to learn how to get around, then switched to neovim from vscodium, taskwarrior instead of Obsidian Tasks, termdown for timers, etc. A tiling wm makes the transition easier imo because you can have many terminals open for visual multitasking. Like with anything, you’ll get better faster if you just do it a bunch and don’t be afraid to mess up and get your hands dirty.

Ring of fire is my song to sing when I’ve had too much Mexican food and beer.

Zsh is just bash with plugins and stuff, so regular bash scripts work. fish, as I understand, uses its own language.

That’s actually a pretty good reason. Currently I own my work environments but that won’t always be the case, I’m sure.

I use Arch with i3 on my main gaming/dev machine. Most of my other (older) machines are Manjaro or Debian though.
