Kubuntu on my desktop and Fedora KDE on my laptop. I probably should explore some other DEs (I have some experience with cinnamon and xfce) but just really like KDE lol.
Windows
but used to be on Gnome Wayland, Arch
why did i go back? temporarily, just wanted to try out new windows stuff in windows 11, they actually improved the os quite a lot (package manager is a nice bonus feature).
Still going to return to linux eventually, probably to KDE 6 on Arch or Debian Sid once it’s released and stable
I don’t know really, I mean the (my) posts went up, worked out and somehow went to sleep forever.
You’re IMO doing the stack overflow approach, so yeah that’s maybe the thing for keeping high value content. I’d not remove posts that easily just yet as there isn’t not that much quality content but that’s just me.
Cool that you’re doing it putting in the time, we’re all in this together!
Manjaro Linux with GNOME on my personal desktop. Used to do Arch with bspwm way back but don’t really want to put in the time configuring things anymore
I’m using a Macbook Pro with Mac OS Sanoma for my work laptop
Don’t see this one yet, but learn how to invest with small amounts. It first… Do these things:
First cut loving expenses where you can, such as: use less power, eat more rice and beans, don’t buy meat, take mass transit, or walk if possible.
Next ensure you stay healthy, always brush and floss, do basic exercise. Keep it simple to stuff you don’t need to buy, do pushups, situps, lunges, go jogging.
Then from the cost cutting, put some money into a savings account. Try to get to at least a month or two of living expenses.
Once you’re there (months of living expenses) open a free retail trading account such as E-Trade, or Robinhood. Buy what you can of the big ETF’s such as VTI, VOO, SPY, SPYG etc… do this every month and don’t get discouraged when it goes down. After a year you’ll start to see dividends payout (literally) they will be small at first. Never sell it, always let the dividend reinvest. After 2 years you’ll start to see a noticeable return on investment. After three it gets better yet… There is a YouTube channel called Chris invests that is really good for this kind of thing. I highly highly recommend it.
Think about it in a multi year strategy. So far, since it’s inception the market always goes up. Billionaires get richer when it goes up, even if hedge funds short the crap out of it, so it’s still a good bet.
Now I hope I don’t eat those words, but I’ve literally pulled myself out of poverty with this strategy which I started around 2007 or so. I’m not rich, I still have to work, but I can now have nice things.
It’s at it’s highest ever point? The whole point of growth ETFs is buy and forget, you’re not supposed to check it everyday and be upset when you’ve “lost” money because the markets are down from the day before.
