When I first moved to south Louisiana, I encountered a giant (black and orange) grasshopper. My first thoughts were along the lines of, “Wtf kind of grasshopper is that!? Did I move to fucking Jurassic Park or something!? Fuck!”
It was very jarring to see insects so big (milipedes that excrete some kinda fluid when touched, ground spiders, thunker af orb weavers, wood roaches flying)… now that I actually type it out, it still seems like Jurassic Park almost 20 years later lol; but I’m not much bothered anymore by most of them.
But the electrified tennis racquet for killing mosquitos… that shit is priceless. Wish I could find the $5 walmart ones still, because I would dual wield them and have extra for guests. I’ve gone from mosquito prey to predator, and it’s a joy
I recommend first installing something like Virtual Box on Windows than google which linux distros are most popular, most maintained and has a good documentation and community to help you when you are stuck. Than pick 3-5 from best once and install them on your Virtual Box and play with each. Than based on your personal experience choose one that works best for you. After that you can install it as dual boot or as your main os.
When you just starting in linux and thinking of switching this can be a good thing. I think its better for users to choose and learn on there own instead of recommending them specific distro.
I’m not saying choosing based on the desktop environment is a bad thing. I’m just saying that it’s better to recommend something like Fedora and let people choose a spin instead. The desktop environment is a lot more important when starting out. The user can then decide to switch to a different distro after having gained a bit more experience / knowledge about the inner workings of Linux distributions.
Work PC: Fedora with Gnome & Forge ext for tiling.
Laptop: currently testing Garuda KDE after jumping on it early and it being really scratchy other than the theming, it’s really matured with almost SUSE level tools.
Mine is drawing. I’ve had other hobbies and have other things that I enjoy doing, but drawing is the most engaging thing for me. Your standards always outpace your ability, so there’s never a moment when you feel like you’ve accomplished everything you could’ve accomplished. There’s always something new to draw or learn about.
Haha, any kind of ink works for me, as long as I can draw with it! Also, I’m always looking for art communities on Lemmy, so I just joined!
Currently, I’m doing studies of mechanical joints and greebles to improve my ability to draw hard surface stuff (e.g. mechs, vehicles, inorganic constructs), and I’m also drawing a shitpost meme when I need to take a break from studying! :)
I think it’s plausible that moments of intense catharsis or realisation etc can cause some kind of physical dilation, like a rush of blood or endorphins or some other kind of neurochemical which you may feel as occuring “in your brain”. I suffer from occasional BPPV and that’s how I originally felt the symptoms, like some force was squeezing my brain and it was going to implode. But I came to understand the feeling to be inflamed blood vessels surrounding my skull rather than anything to do with my brain. It was distinctly more an all-over-the-head feeling than any headache I’ve had
I hate that Framework doesn’t support Coreboot yet. That’s perhaps the only laptop brand I’d be willing to spend $1000 on to purchase a laptop from, but unless they act on it I’m not buying anything from them. Unfortunately, System76 isn’t really present outside the US, which makes it a real pickle I’m in
Lol, that’s a laptop that looks like a thinkpad but with ARM instead. No thanks, even Purism laptops is better than that (except shipping to outside the US)
OP didn’t spam any Linux questions to this community. Am I missing something? OP literally has 4 posts he ever made and only one of them is about Linux
