  • Yeah, I also use a pen tablet for some stuff, and it handles it decently well. One issue I’ve run into with it is that if I turn my monitor off while the tablet is plugged in, there’s like a 50/50 chance the monitor won’t load video unless I turn the tablet on too. It’s funky. Otherwise, getting my RTX4070 up and running wasn’t too hard. It’s a good distro for idiots (me).


  • I recently moved to Fedora KDE Plasma after years on W10, simply because I don’t want to use W11 and its AI bullshit. So far, it’s been a great time, and I haven’t noticed any major performance issues, so I’m happy with it. Having to update everything every few days is pretty novel though, and ‘sudo dnf update -y’ makes me feel like Hackerman, king of all Hackers. I think I like the customization options most though. I get way more control over what happens on my PC than W10 ever gave me, and it’s all wrapped in a very user-friendly GUI. Overall 8.5-9/10.

    Damn dude, that’s fucked. I loved going to WV for summer camps as a kid, the wilderness in that state is incredible, but you’re absolutely right about the church density and lack of infrastructure.

    Every time I pass through that state, it’s always small Americana towns loaded with beautiful architecture and small businesses on the verge of collapse, while the town churches look like new. It’s a truly baffling phenomenon until you recognize that Churches provide a lot of the social structure and safety nets for people there.

    And while a lot of their issues can be traced back to the coal-dependence of the state, a lot of it can be traced to regional policy that just left the state behind. WV isn’t near dead last in the nation in every category because it wants to be, but damn it all if they aren’t doing anything that could help change that. Louisiana is like that too; dead last in everything, with so much squandered potential.
