I’ve used linux for twelve years and am still surprised at how easy some things are, not that things were really even that hard before. The improvements to gaming on Linux are pretty well known now, but even things like recording audio are dead simple now. Outside of the super expensive DAWs, I’d say linux is on par with Mac and windows now, especially with things like yabridge.

I’d be very surprised if it can’t do DHCP. If it still can’t, you could always find a cheap router to use as an access point and have DHCP that way.

Sway and hyprland are going to be the main recommendations, especially hyprland because it is pretty feature-rich. I personally have been using River for the last few months, which I’ve been able to completely replicate my five year old bspwm set up with using the rivercarro layout. It’s not as popular, but I’ve really liked it so far.

I’ve used it on my pi before I disabled the display manager because I barely used it, but performance was fine. I could log in from my desktop, phone, laptop, another pi, anything really, which was nice to have.

I was the same but in 2017. Six years later and I’m still using the same Void install. There’s simply no reason for me to switch, it’s perfect and I have my system tailored exactly to my liking at this point.

To your first point, a huge portion of the use library computers get is from people who don’t own or can’t afford their own computer but just need to print government/work/school docs with some minimal document editor. Sure you could run with LibreOffice or something and hope no one cares, but you’re right that most people would freak out if they can’t open something in Word or have to learn how to print something in Gnome/KDE/whatever.

The highest elevation was Cascade Canyon in Grand Teton (~7,000 ft and ~2,000 meters I think). Highest mountain however would Algonquin Peak in the Adirondacks (5,114 ft and 1,558 meters). Definitely my favorite mountain, it just looks like a huge slab of land. Lots of scrambling around the rocky peak with a great view of the surrounding mountains.

Without looking at other teams, that feels like a high turnover rate of captains. Averages out to a new captain every other year almost.

I played around with it in a VM earlier today. I liked the overall feel of it quite a bit, even as someone who prefers not to use gnome. But there are quite a few inconsistencies in using the alpha compared to what’s in the handbook, particularly for installing new packages. I wonder if that’s something that’s still being implemented in Orchid.

I liked it though, I’ll definitely keep following it.

It’s hard to put into words how amazing it is that every Sabres fan has memories of listening to RJ as a kid. That’s something truly special, Buffalo has been so lucky to listen to him all those years.

I’m glad he was able to enjoy a full year of retirement with his family, the man worked nearly his entire life. We’ll never see (or hear) another like him.

Finally, I have been so tired of having to scroll to the bottom of every game’s page to find entries relevant to my hardware.

Debian (and most other distros) will have what you need, my lab runs Ubuntu and most of our statistics are in Python and R, except for the people who still use SPSS. What I tend to do is start up docker containers for them to access rstudio from a browser, but renv would be the other way to go if you want versioned packages. Either way, you’ll have the same access to the packages you need.

I don’t boot into Windows often enough so I just reformatted the drive to ext4. When I did use both though NTFS was perfectly usable for both.

NTFS will work, I used it for a few years without even realizing. I eventually switched to EXT4 for my games drive from an old Windows install when I realized ntfs-3g was using a decent amount of CPU and had a small impact on performance.

Prince of Nothing is one of the grimmest, darkest series I’ve read lol

Lots of atrocities committed in the name of religion, power, etc. Lots of visceral depictions of pretty serious subjects. Lots of philosophizing about pretty dark things.

Through it all though the characters are compelling and the story is engaging after a point. The world and characters feel very real, even some of the more outlandish ones. There’s certainly no “fun” in it like there was in the First Law books. I get the sense that it probably goes way too for in the grim dark direction for you, regardless of how well it’s written.

Not to be that guy, but Malazan strikes the perfect balance for me between a grimdark feel and a hopeful theme with fun characters. If you haven’t read it and have the time, those are always worth picking up.

My first guess is unattended-upgrades is running, especially if this is shortly after booting. As others have said, ps aux | grep apt will tell you what’s running. If it’s holding up all the time there might be something wrong with apt causing the update to hang.

If I had a Deck I’d probably use it more for Calibre than anything else honestly. The thought of having my entire book and game libraries on one portable device sounds amazing.

He’s my answer as well. I’ve been listening to them for seven years and I feel like he’s only gotten better.

I think that’s mostly true, but Caps fans would probably hope to be better before the contract is up in eight years. Take it from a Sabres fan, that long of a rebuild does a lot to your love of the game.

My worry is that Wilson will be awful in the last few years when/if the Caps are ready to be good again at that point. Sure he can be the tank commander, but at some point he’ll just weigh them down with a contract that will be very hard to move.

I’d been reading the First Law trilogy at night before bed for the last year and a half or so (I’m a slow reader when I fall asleep). Thought it was pretty good, and the perfect kind of story I needed. If grimdark could have pulp, it would be the First Law trilogy. Just overall very entertaining, the characters were fun and memorable, and this all balanced out the general bleakness of the setting. The running jokes were a lot of fun.

Now I’m probably going back to the Warrior Prophet (Prince of Nothing book 2), the other book I had been reading before bed before the First Law really grabbed me. I love Bakker’s writing and world building, so I’m excited to see where it goes.
