  • Please help me choose a disto!

  • I was in the sane situation as you and what I did was buy a new drive to put Linux on so I could dual boot and get used to things without wiping everything. Linux can even mount your Window drive if you need to access data on it.

    I tried a few distro myself but landed on Garuda Dr460onized Gaming. (You can look at different versions here) The gaming version came with steam and Heroic installed and had a nice colour theme picked. Gaming has been great and all Windows games that I've tried have worked better than when I was running Windows. (Rocket League, Hades 2, Uncharted 4 to name some) You can always keep Windows on your other drive and boot it for games like Fortnite that have kernel level anti cheat.

    The only issue you might have is that Garuda is pretty bleeding edge with when updates get applied. This can be good or bad. There were some issues getting dual screens working for me at first, but those issues have gone away completely now. I also had issues with the top menu bar crashing and disappearing. Lasted about 2 weeks and then an update fixed it. (Survived by using the Meta + Spacebar search launcher and Ctrl + Alt + T to get into a terminal) So updates to fix issues come out somewhat quickly, but issues pop up too. I actually think it's been pretty stable right now.

  • But isn't Bazzite an immutable distro? I heard that has some advantages and some disadvantages especially when installing software. I skipped on it when I heard that for my desktop OS, but I haven't actually tried it.

  • I buy solid bars of soap and shampoo so that I don't have a bunch of plastic bottles in the shower. The shampoo bars from Lush are amazing! I have a little magnetic grabber that attaches to a suction cup to keep the bars easily usable and up and out of the way of the falling shower water.

  • For some reason embedding didn't work for me, and your attempt didn't work either. Maybe it's my lemmy client (Thunder)

  • I'd make it legal to hunt obnoxiously loud vehicles like Harley motorcycles or other vehicles with stupidly loud exhaust systems. You can hunt and disable the vehicle and then take it, but you can't hurt the owner/operator. I'll work out the full legal details like what is obnoxiously loud, and what it means to make a "kill" later.

  • American spirit exports to Canada 'plummeted' 85%, says U.S. trade group

  • I mean, I am doing those things. I'm also just curious as to why we're so focused on alcohol. It's probably because it's one of the things where it's easy to find non-American alternatives. But maybe because there's a lot of Coca Cola bottling locally in Canada people don't care?

    Either way, I've been looking around for Canadian candy to give away for Halloween. Hawkins Cheesies and Rockets might be it.
