They are not as restrictive as people make them out to be. Ostree works quite well for installing a primary app like a different browser.

If you want to avoid dependency conflicts entirely, You can have a look at distro shelf. It allows you to run a container for nearly any distro, install packages and then export those apps to run like native apps. I use it all the time when something is only supported via package and not flatpack, or some other distro only.

The container still maps to your same home folder for file and config access.

I have 3 containers, a fedora workstation one for standard apps I don’t want to do via Flatpak or AppImage. An Debian one for deb packages. And lastly a Arch one, which is for the more experimental apps. If I end up breaking something, I can just wipe the container and start again.

Bazzite has lots of customizations built-in if you download the Asus spin.

Great, now keep goijg till you call yourself a former billionaire.

My partner has OCD.

I have autism and anxiety.

By our powers combined, we make for an excellent supervillian.

It could also be that they decided to change the criteria for what they identify as a Linux device. Especially when they don’t have enough metadata because of good privacy settings.

Fewer, larger DLCs are probably what they should be doing.

But gotta have something new to sell for $15 every two months.

I usually blame my brain-eye connection when I make that mistake.

Some of us come with faulty wiring that our brains have to learn to compensate for when we are babies.

What did you struggle with?

This ship is not nuclear powered. Its just operated by Rosatom.

Yanina was the last nuclear cargo ship and its been decommissioned.

Debian for servers and fedora for desktop for me.

Some people I will put on Mint for desktop use, if they are super non-technical.

90km is about 30mins off course. So a malfunction is possible. The guidance programming may be recoverable though.

Its called Xenophobia.

Xenophobia and racism are distinct forms of prejudice: xenophobia is the fear or hatred of foreigners, while racism is the belief in racial superiority and systemic oppression based on race. Though they overlap, they target people for different reasons.

To be fair sometimes a game is great for a time, but then the DLC treadmill breaks the balance.

It can have many great reviews from people who have since stopped playing, while the 500+ hours players become increasingly unhappy with what happens to a great game.

2 examples that come to mind at Stellaris (it has 57 DLC addons now) and Hearts of Iron 4. (Paradox games). Those games are dead to me now.

Warhammer total war 3 is going down a similar path, but not quite that extreme.

Civ 6 was also getting there.

Its usually the publisher pushing the DLC every 2 months train.

Its fine if a game has a core game that is complete and then get expanded upon in a yearly DLC. Rimworld and owlcat games like Pathfinder and Rogue Trader come to mind.

Budget 😂. In South Africa the Sonata is one of their largest sedans.

Hyundai Accent is the budget one. Elantra is the mid-size one. I doubt either are available in the US.

Dollar converted, the Accent costs about $12k.

The US car market is so cooked.

Correct, we are likely going to need to do geoengineering for a 100-200 years while CO2 gets reduced gradually.

Baking soda aerosols are looking promising. They can just at 2-3% sodium additive to all jet aircraft exhaust and it will be enough to reverse the current levels of elevated CO2.

Start doing some real chemtrails.

Put a garnishing order on their past 50 years of profits. All proceeds go to infrastructure investments for the developing world in climate mitigation and food security.

Sounds like a Challange.

Yes Step-Sensei

There is, provided your are parking a Bicycle or a canal boat.

In South Africa, we say “halfpad tussen Pofadder en Putsonderwater”

Which translates to halfway between Pufadder (named after the snake) and well-without-water town.

Both are real places, with the stereotypical names that already play on the fact that there is very little going on there.

The open stretch between the two with no roads, no farms, no railways.

These days, it does not work in reality as their built the Square Kilometer Array there, as it was probably the quietest place (radio signal wise) in the world where you could build radio telescopes.
