    Tried dual booting Ubuntu and XP back around 2006, didn’t really see the point because gaming on Windows.

    2020 got a Raspberry Pi and set up Retropie which gave me a good intro to Linux. Tried to get away from big tech in 2021 and was dual booting Mint and Windows 10. Ended up spending more time in 10 because gaming.

    Got an old laptop from work and it was perfect to throw Mint on because no way it was going to handle gaming. Then I set up a media server, initially with the the Pi and then bought a cheap mini for it - and ran it on Mint. I’m primarily a console gamer now so gaming is far less of a concern for me on PC. Mint everything now.

    I could distro hop or at least try something else, and maybe I will at some stage. But I’m too happy with Mint/Cinnamon to bother.














  • Fairphone 4. Ubuntu Touch is supported at a manufacturer level, it supports Postmarket OS, easy user serviceable, SD card slot (which apparently is rare now). No headphone jack but that’s about the only downside. I’m running one with Calyx and while it is a little older of a phone - it’s perfectly fine.



  • A lot of people need to be right all the time, even if it is to their own detriment. Therefore they would see apologising as losing.

    Social cohesion is quite important and I believe something that is becoming a little undervalued. Especially in a workplace. While of course if is important to stick to your principles, it’s not that important to be right in a lot of social situations.

    Relationships aren’t linear progression. Sometimes you move forward, sometimes you move backwards. Sometimes you can move forward by moving backwards. An apology rarely hurts in the grand scheme of things.

    However I would think about what you’re saying. And what I’m about to say carries the lack of context from not knowing any more than what you posted.

    You weren’t listening and it was mostly your fault (your words). She didn’t trigger you. And telling her she triggered you will probably not go well. You reacted to her in a way you are now regretting. You need to take responsibility for that and that is likely what you are apologising for.

    The conversation about things being fair, save it for later. Put a lot more thought into it.




  • I came across in the big Reddit migration and while I loved the idea, it felt like every third post was about the meta or Reddit. I ended up dropping all social media. A few months ago I started passively reading Reddit again and as many predicted, the whole vibe is just off. So I began checking back here a bit and it’s a bit closer to what I want now. It feels like there is a bit less going on than back then, and I’m totally okay with that.
