As someone who went from being miserable running a pizza kitchen, to my dream job of being a software engineer, I can’t fathom how anyone would want to go the opposite direction. Everyone has different preferences I suppose.

Don’t forget to enable himem.sys

I’m in Australia, not showing up for me.

Yep, perfectly average.

Yep, this is the reason. I have many different identity key files in my ~/.ssh folder, and for some reason ssh always tries all of those first, then exhausts the login tries and doesn’t ask for a password.

I have the same problem when I specify a specific private key file with -i ./path/to/priv.key. If that key is different than the ones in my .ssh folder, it will use all those first before the specified one, and often exhausts login attempts giving a very hard to diagnose login failure. In that case I need -o IdentitiesOnly yes option to tell ssh to only use the one I specified.

I’m not in US either. This was actually in a computer lab, and I got there 10 minutes early, the lecturer wasn’t there yet. Her guy is not in our class, he left when the class started.

No, unrelated.

I’ve experienced both.

I worked up the courage to ask her out after some of her friends assured me she was single, and said I had a good chance.

She was great about it, said she was flattered and let me down gently with the “oh, I would, but sorry I have a boyfriend” line. I thought it was an excuse to soften the rejection.

A week later I saw her walking on campus holding hands with a guy, and later I saw her in class sitting on his lap. Turns out she really did have a secret boyfriend for almost a month that she didn’t tell her friends about, but after she said it to me, she felt she could make it public.

To answer your question, getting rejected was not as bad as I thought, but seeing her with someone else was unexpectedly worse for me.

I dropped out of that uni at the end of the semester and never saw her again, but still occasionally think about her.

Try Nobara. It’s based on Fedora but it’s got a whole bunch of gaming-related patches including all of the required additions for out-of-the-box HDR support.

Yeah, that’s how I’m choosing to interpret them.

Common cold is rhinovirus, not norovirus.

Everyone replying seems to be confusing “timeline” with “generation” or “era”, discussing how this point in time is better than other times in history. That is not what OP was asking.

+1 for Fedora. It is exactly what OP is asking for.
