The labels and categorisation of everything can get tiring, and be utterly useless or confusing for anyone unfamiliar with a particular genre (it all sounds the same!), however these can still be handy when you find a particular sound you like, you can use that to discover other bands with similar sounds or style.

As bands in that genre experiment and evolve their sound, they may cross, mix it create all new genres that can lead you down a new list of bands to explore - or perhaps it’s not your flavour so you stick with what you like.

Most hobbies have depth to them like this, I guess music is so variable that we need a thousand ways to describe all the various possibilities.

I second this, it’s why I went with Bazzite on my main rig - it just needs to work and be reliable. The last thing I want to be doing in my spare time is funking around trying to fix anything that happens to break.

All my other devices run whatever I feel like so I can scratch that curiosity-itch but they get reinstalled if anything major breaks and I can’t fix it in a reasonable amount of time

“What about pork? Ham? Bacon?”

“Dad! They all come from the same animal!”

“Right Lisa, some wonderful, magical animal!”

“Steek and Bergers”?

I hate to say it but it’s working. First the mass-debater got “2A raptured,” this gave them the push-start they needed, now the administration is using this clown to dump the clutch and crank the starter.

Soon, the engine will fire into life again and the Epstein files will be a distant memory in the rear view mirror.

Well, I thought it was a valid argument! :)

But in being tight, they keep everything in place and organized… Tidy!

People are saying that the crowd was full of crisis actors

Killswitch Engage’s Atonement album has some excellent tracks with RATM-esque lyrics incl Crownsless King

Yeah, nothing at all against the ppl, just their slimy govt & propaganda (in fact, all slimy govt & propaganda, regardless of nationality)

Who said anything about govt? :p

Can we not just silent ban Russia from the entire Internet? Let them think they’re posting shit but no one outside their region can actually see it!? (/s… but also not)

So far, so good but I haven’t really thought about it since. It may not suit a purist, hardcore or someone who tweaks their system endlessly but for someone like me, I don’t want to spend me free time fiddling, breaking, then fixing my home gear.

Until Win10, I never liked to “upgrade” any OS, preferring a clean slate approach and from what I understand, that’s what I’ll get here. A clean new OS with each upgrade that eliminates any gradual degradation due to a build up of clutter and abandoned packages. All while the flat packs and my data/config reside safely in the use partition (anyone, let me know if I’ve got this wrong!)

Thanks! I’m genuinely encouraged by learning Linux. That’s why I’ve been documenting things here, to share with those like me who have tried before or hesitant to make the jump.

Agree - software is the greatest blocker these days. My recent software restriction was simply a tool I was only using for study.

I was still skeptical that it would be so easy as I’ve been burnt before by Linux on YouTube or articles that exclaim just how easy it is but I usually run into at least a couple of major issues that become a pain to overcome. Not so this time! Every PC I’ve cut over during this process has been painless.

Literally the only issue I’ve had to date was my monitor not waking from sleep - a minor fault that was fixed by selecting any colour profile that wasn’t the default.

As long as you are domain joined, group policy will get rid of all that BS (I think that’s the requirement, I’ve been out of ops for a couple of years now and the memories are fading fast!). These days, that’s the only way to make Win11 somewhat decent.

Definitely no hate for Arch, just me being a smart arse ;)

The fuckers still have to reload at some point…
