Thanks, that’s very helpful. Sounds like Bazzite will be sufficient then so I’ll just go with that.

I guess the “doing all that” mostly means taking something supposedly very stable like mint and then changing it seems to kinda defeat the purpose of mint lol. Idk, there so much “mint and Debian are stable” but like… what’s the even mean? Is fedora 42 or bazzite going to be crashing regularly? Cuz… I doubt it? lol like idk, there’s just a lot of options. Seems easier to just go with fedora 42 or bazzite or whatever, but now idk what bazzite being immutable even means for what I can’t change and why that’s a big deal so idk.

I’m not super worried about out of the box, I’m fine with fucking around for set up a bit, just not looking for anything crazy like arch lol. From what I’ve seen it looks like either Fedora 42 or bazzite with KDE. Is there a decent site that shows off the different options for DE’s and windows managers where I could look through the differences? New to all of this.

Yeah I mean, no experience with it and it says it’ll all probably work but I was not sure about it. I had seen mint 22 was made to not be stuck on 5.15 so it might be possible but it seems like they focus on LTS which would go to 6.12 now and not 6.13+. Is it worth doing all that to still use mint or would I be better off just going with like fedora 42 or bazzite or something else.

Is there a particular difference between KDE and Gnome? I’ve mostly seen “KDE looks like windows and Gnome looks like mac” but are there major differences outside of looks I would need to worry about?

Arch may be a little more than I would prefer because… just going to look at the site would take learning just what the fuck is going on. I don’t need constant crazy new stuff, I just want the GPU to work.

9070xt is an AMD… it’s just new… and I’ve seen a lot of posts saying you want kernel 6.13 or higher for it, and mint 22 is using 6.8. (And that you want mesa 25 but I don’t think getting that’s an issue?)

(I realize AMD changing their naming yet again makes that confusing.)

lol I mean, I’m sure it’s probably still cool, and books are meant to be swapped out not taken to read on the beach and returned, but I feel the hotel or parking lot would’ve been a better area lol.

Fucking horrible idea books do not like humidity. Especially not being handled by actively wet salty people.

“I…”checks community “oh ok.”

“Didn’t have much” large enough living room for two full sized couches, seemingly with ottomans as well.

God damn, I was looking forward to it but that’s fucked up.

It’s such a good show. Alton Brown does such a good job. They have another one now I guess with someone who is very much not Alton brown and it’s sad.

Sure dude, keep pretending the DNC doesn’t run anything and that they have zero influence or agenda and it’s all the perfect will of the people. You’re right, the people with billions of dollars in charge of the party are really just chill dudes who listen to what people really want.

Every time I see people complaining about 3rd party voters all I can picture is the “Am I so out of touch?” meme. Like, y’all already shot yourselves in the face 3 times in a row and it surprisingly didn’t fail 1/3 times, but you’ll blame literally anyone but yourselves. Run a candidate people want, run policies people want, and support that candidate and those policies instead of throwing everything you can against them because you like money, and we would not be anywhere near where we are now. People vote for trump because they don’t want another fucking “nothing will fundamentally change” politician. The country is already shit. It needs to change. But dems are happy with it how it is. They don’t care about immigrants, or poor people, or social security, or women’s rights, or whatever. They just hold onto those as carrots on a stick. They just want to keep making millions, and would rather trump win so they don’t have to actually embrace populist policy. That’s why people don’t vote. The choice isn’t ice cream or drive off a cliff. Its do we drive into a wall and die now, or drive off a cliff so it takes slightly longer to die, the drive off a cliff people shot the 2 people who asked if they could vote for ice cream and that’s why the others didn’t vote.

Thanks for the relevant pic, I appreciate you saving me having to search it.

I believe from when I read it the other day they’ve got their calculations and they should be testable in a few years (new colliders or whatever else that are being built currently should be able to confirm their calculations)

It’s just… heavily weighted… like… yeah? Duh? Was this a big surprise? It’s basically an obtuse pyramid with a weight. Is that supposed to be some new invention?

So they’re called sea crits because we only have identified 5%, which is 1/20… aka the only way we find sea crits is by rolling a nat 20?

Damn I really know nothing about courts I would assume the states Supreme Court would only be below the national Supreme Court but apparently state appeals are above the state Supreme Court?

Also god damn, “yeah it said you would have Medicaid but it didn’t legally say they wouldn’t fuck you.” Certainly is a ruling.
