  • That’s not far off of something that happened to me once a few years ago. My computer suddenly started struggling one day, and I quickly figured out that my hard drive suddenly had 500 gigs or so of extra data somewhere. I had to find a tool that would let me see how much space a given folder was taking up, and eventually I found an absolutely HUMONGOUS error log file. After I cleared it out, the file rapidly filled up again when I used a program I’d been using all the time. I think it was Minecraft or something. Anyway, my duck tape solution was to just make that log file read-only, since the error in question didn’t actually affect anything else.

    Bread is a requirement for something to be a sandwich, so you’ll have to convince me that a tortilla is bread. You might be able to make a case for the soft flour tortilla, but I just don’t see how hard corn tortillas can possibly fit under the umbrella of “bread”.












  • My experience with Manjaro was okayish for a lot of things, but if I wanted to try some new software, it was a coin toss to see if it would compile or not, and I don’t have the expertise to track down why something didn’t compile. I got fed up with it recently when something I wanted to install…didn’t compile. I went to the effort of backing up my computer, missed a few minor folders, and migrated to Mint.



  • Currently in the process of getting my ducks in a row to move to a different distro. The one on my computer right now has some shortcomings that I just can’t look past. I need to scan something, and Manjaro can’t build the driver I need. Manjaro has been sadness and disappointment, both times that I’ve tried it. Don’t use Manjaro.
