Hurray! Are there snacks?

That’s incredible! I hope you didn’t write all of that just for little old me, and it’s your standard evangeluxing script!

I love this idea; you’ve convinced me to try! I’ve had a few instances where I’ve had to jump on the console and stack overflow to get something working, and there’s no way I could repeat it. I can see the appeal of what you called the declarative method. I have one desktop and one old laptop, so being able to copy (some) of the system definition sounds really handy.

I have nothing to lose but stability and sanity, lol. I’ll look at copying everything off of /home and finally wiping my primary windows drive - I haven’t booted into it on purpose in almost a year.

I can see the appeal, but yeah that sounds more complicated than I want. Thank you for all the info!

Nothing, besides seeing the name on some memes.

I’m not a sysadmin and I want a computer that just works, to the extent that that’s possible. I’ll fix stuff that needs fixing, but ideally I don’t need to do much. I’m not a customizer, so themes and rice and stuff go over my head. I don’t have any real ideological bent - FOSS is lovely but if I need proprietary to get my ultrawide monitor working or whatever, I’ll use it.

I like the KDE I’m using now (though I understand I’m a major version behind!) but am not afraid to try something else. I play games with Steam and Lutris, most of which work some of the time.

I’m open to conversion!

Reading, thank you.

On Debian it is. The stable branch is a pain. I need to switch to something else.

Interesting - I’ll give it a try.

Works for me when I open externally, but not embedded in Connect.

Caffeine addicted. It is a problem.

Room is low 70s (23C?).

No device.

Big dinner at 8, bed at 11 or 12. Sleep quickly if no phone.

I have woken up aware that I dreamt perhaps a half dozen times in my adult life.

Alcohol: no

Medicine: no

Drugs: no

Never tried loading magnesium.

Terrible sleep hygiene.

Comfy bed, dark room.

Yeah, no thanks. You’re exactly right.

Here is your featherless cephalopod!

There ought to be a law requiring references to be named.

What in tarnation are we talking about here, chief?

Dang! Missed opportunity

That’s tremendously funny.

That sounds awesome! Do you post on woodworking or diy communities?

Always love Ricardo.

Woodworking is so fun, and it covers an enormous range of activities.

Favorite project?

You could make cheese!
