Since desktop mode is basically just KDE but without the ability to install software packages you could try Fedora.

They do a version just like desktop mode that has you install everything through the store, or you can get the regular variety to get a bit more flexibility.

Personally I’d steer clear of anything special as your first Linux install. Go with standard Fedora, then you can experiment and branch out if you’re interested, but you don’t have to if you like what you’ve got.

That’s amazing. I love the idea of creating a self sustaining ecosystem like that.

I think it suits you. Definitely keep.

This may also be a sign I’m playing too much factorio

Random thought. If WW3 happens and a handful of people bail on earth and escape to the moon, would it actually be possible to manufacture a base and survive up there without any further support?

A week is my usual. I know, I know, but my mental health is a lot worse than my body odour.

Run. Run as far as I can and never stop.

I always picked the castle as a kiddo. Where the fuck did the last 30 years go?!

I used reddit for searching stuff purely out of convenience (which lemmy instance do I choose for the site: query?) but for everyday content it’s exclusively lemmy ever since I went on a mission of deleting all my commercial social media accounts.

You may want to see if there’s any hardware rental places near you. I’ve seen places that let you rent Apple hardware for fixed periods of time.

You can self host the services you need, but admittedly that’s not feasible for most people.

Window units literally don’t exist in the UK. Air conditioning is for rich people and businesses here. Portable units are also generally terrible, they’re loud and only manage to cool a room by a few degrees C.

For science I need to know

Thanks for recommending JShelter! I’ll add it to my list

I really wish there was a foolproof way of preventing fingerprinting. Disabling JavaScript unfortunately isn’t really an option, no-one builds websites with progressive enhancement in mind these days.

This seems like a heavily AI-written article with all the bullet points, weak arguments and general air of positivity. Doesn’t help that rye-init is nowhere to be found in the AUR either.

I sleep with a stuffed animal I’ve had since I was a kid. I don’t think it’s that unusual.
