I am 30 or 40 years old and I do not need this.

  • It's just been on the air for a really long time. I wanna say 15-20 years? Something like that?

  • What are things that bring you joy?

    Jump

  • Similar but different, we have a kitten and it's funny to see him trying to figure things out. The other day he just stared at our Keurig when I was making coffee. We don't use it that often and I guess he hadn't seen it in action before.

  • My wife and my cats. We got a kitten a few months after my older cat passed and it turned out to be a really good decision (even though he does drive us crazy sometimes, because kittens are basically toddlers with pointy teeth and claws and a 1-meter vertical leap). Not saying kittens are a cure for depression, but it helps.

  • I really loved Garuda but the rolling updates kept breaking my NVIDIA drivers :(

  • If someone still wants "Arch but also nice," I'd point them at Garuda tbh. I really liked it but the rolling updates kept breaking my NVIDIA drivers. If not for that I might still be using it.

  • What Linux Distro is your Christian Denomination?

  • I feel like you made this chart for me specifically, so thank you

  • What are some hobbies that are generally looked down on but are not really problematic?

    1. You are doing exactly what the OP was talking about, looking down on something harmless
    2. "Degenerate/degeneracy" are literal Nazi words and you should probably stop using them [Edit: formatting weirdness]

  • Say NO to Mandatory E-Bike License Plates and Registrations [California]

    Jump

  • Lotta people here who apparently aren't familiar with e-bikes, talking about how e-bikes perform. My RadRunner 2 has only ever hit 27 mph (43 kph?) going downhill on a steep incline, meanwhile I'm getting passed by dudes on $5000 fancy-ass racing bicycles. Not really sure why I'm the one who needs the license.

    (Also: I wish e-bikes were the biggest problem on bike paths here in Kentucky. I have encountered Actual Legit Gasoline-Powered Fucking Motorcycles many, many, MANY times on the Louisville Loop.)

  • "Linux sucks." "Every OS sucks, mate. It's a matter of using the option available to you that you hate the least."

  • A slightly more positive way of putting this is "choosing the set of problems you want to deal with." I vastly prefer the problems that Linux hands me over the problems with Windows.

  • What do you call your significant other in your phone?

    Jump

  • Her first name. I think I'm "Firstname Lastname" in her phone but my name is more common than hers.

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

  • You are the first person I have ever met (other than my mom, who I learned it from) who does the "sleep upside down" thing. It totally works!

  • What's the stupidest thing someone has ever done in front of you?

    Jump

  • I worked in a grocery store deli that made sandwiches, and we'd precut meat "kits" for the popular sandwiches to save time during the lunch rush (like Cuban, Italian, etc). We'd slice them for whole sub sandwiches, and then if someone ordered a half sub, we'd just cut the kits in half and put the other half back in the drawer.

    One day, a girl I'll call "Becky" was working the sandwich counter, and someone ordered a whole Italian sub. There were no whole Italian kits in the drawer, but there were two presliced halves.

    It took like three people to explain to Becky how to solve this problem, and even then I'm not sure she ever fully understood.

  • Is anywhere nearby you haunted?

    Jump

  • I live in the general vicinity of Waverly Hills Sanatarium, if that counts. Also one of my friends said she saw a ghost in this old apartment building I used to live in.

  • I am looking for a Linux OS

    Jump

  • Honestly, if you're mostly using Steam for gaming, pretty much any major distro will work. Linux Mint is my personal choice for newbies but if something else strikes your fancy, go for it. I second the recommendation for checking on ProtonDB to see if your games are supported. I would also recommend ProtonUp-Qt as a program once you've installed Linux; it's really good for managing different Proton installs on Steam quickly and easily. Also also, I have personally had better luck with the Flatpak version of Steam, rather than the native distro versions, because it has less weird dependency issues, but YMMV. Good luck!

    Are we sure that the lifespan thing isn't just benefits fraud

  • What is your preferred Android Launcher in 2026?

    Jump

  • Same. I've been using KISS for years. It would feel weird to use anything else at this point.
