Are the top ones golden oysters?
The bottom ones look like chantrelles to me

I don't know your area, but in my area the underside of the caps (specifically gill color and how they attach to the stipe) can be very helpful, even sometimes necessary to get a good ID. The type of wood being eaten is also sometimes relevant. Any idea what kind of wood it was?
Below is my result putting the photo into iNaturalist's robot. I just put the date as today and the location as "North Carolina". It's not my photo so i didnt turn it into an observation.
I would highly encourage you to actually upload your photo as an observation to iNaturalist with accurate info so that local mycologists can have a look and chime in. (While the robot is good, the experts on iNat are even better) iNaturalist is a nonprofit that shares the data they gather with scientists and universities for free
I think the problem is the insistence on using a gaming-focused OS. Boutique distros can make certain things easier, but they often make unwitting assumptions about hardware that dont actually work for everyone.
Fedora has probably 10x or more the user base of Bazzite, so there are effectively +/- 10x the variety of of tested builds. Ubuntu/Debian is probably 10x over Fedora, so probably +/- 100x over Bazzite.
If you want to use Linux with minimal headache, the best advice is to use a mainstream distro with well-tested hardware. If you are building a custom PC you will have the least hassle with 1-2 year old hardware (or older) on Mint or Ubuntu
RE: use case
It's really nice to be able to see the whole titles. A vertical panel cuts off most text, so you just have a bunch of icons when you minimize. if multiple windows are from the same app it's confusing.
If you use a horizontal panel you have a bit more room, but a significant amount of text is still cut off, and the panel fills up quickly.
Even with as few as 6 windows open (lets say two browser and three file manager, and a terminal) minimizing is a mess. I find it better to just leave the window bar somewhere visible and shade it, since i can read all the text on my window at a glance. Combined with "keep above others", you can get a really nice way to quickly refrence something infrequently while you do most of your work in another window.
A more typical workflow for me is 1-4 windows of a pdf reader, 1-3 file manager windows, 1 browser window, and 1 terminal window. It's just easier to keep it all organized with window shading.
I find it much faster than a bunch of alt-tabbing, or playing hide and seek with the panel just to get a specific two PDF windows up side by side for a second
Thanks for the link! Heartening to know there are others that love this feature like i do
Damn. I guess it's finally goodbye window shade or goodbye Plasma. I really wish they'd figured out a solution.
I get it though. The edge cases will never be fixed until devs know what they are, and GNOME proved this is an effective way to find out.
I miss the Ubuntu bongos
This is a go-to camping dish for me. Very nice on a cold night by a campfire
Bing is a better search engine than Google, but both are pale imitations of their former selves. It's amazing how bad search has gotten in the last ~5 years
I dont agree. Life is a balance. You use proprietary software every day, everybody does. It exists in nearly every aspect of day to day life. You can never truly be free of it, but advocating for and using FOSS where possible is worthwhile anyway. Going fully blob-free would mean significantly more effort for what to me is not that much of an improvement to my life.
It's the same reason i garden on my apartment balcony, but dont grow all my own food. I could probably just about manage it, but i'd be spending every second of my available time to keep the thing going just to reduce my already infrequent grocery trips (but not to zero since i still need soap and toothpaste).
I'm happy with the additional features, security, and transparency provided by Fedora over the OS my laptop was designed to run. I go through some level of effort to use Linux, but nothing crazy. If there was some widely available hardware with decent performance, price, and comparable features, made with ethical labor and that worked with Debian with the deblobbed kernel, i'd definitely give it a shot. Currently it's too much work for too little gain for me.
But if it works for you, that's awesome. I respect the commitment to your ideals.
Very sweet to remember her this way.
My cat is also named after a flower: Thistle. I hope i get to enjoy 15 years with her too.
I empathize with your sorrow, and i'm happy you got to spend the time with her that you did
An unexpected surprise. The game runs fine on Steam/Linux through proton, but it is a bit of a hassle to set up the first time.
Maybe now i will finally finish "Legendary Defender of Ascalon", since death leveling is no longer the only method.
For anyone not familiar: this was a title given to players who got to max level (20) in the tutorial area of the first game. All quest XP combined would would get you from 1-8, or if you save up all the quests it's almost enough to get from 19-20. The only other way to get XP was by killing monsters, and for every level above the monster you get, it gives less XP. once you are more than 5 levels over you'd get none. You cannot leave the area, since once you do there is a time jump and you can never return.
"Death leveling" was a technique where you'd let the highest level monsters (level 13 iirc) kill you repeatedly until they level up, then you kill them for XP once they are high enough to give you some. This would mean you'd have to die potentially over 100 times to get a tiny amount of XP, then you exit and enter the zone to respawn the monster and do it all again.
In the years since they've added a small few level 17 monsters and a low xp daily quest, so it's still a huge grind but not as insane as before
Thanks! I dont know much about coffee and tea, perhaps they are purely beneficial. I figured they'd be a mixed bag so if you are being "optimal" you'd avoid them.
I appreciate the links and info
I think my knowledge of first aid and basic anatomy would be of some use in any pre-modern time period. I know enough to make a positive difference at least (wash that cut, dont drink water from downstream of your encampment, give the sick plenty of fluids, etc)
Beyond that, i'd be behind everyone else. I can fish, forage, garden, cook, start fires, and build shelter, but so could everyone for most of human history. I could probaby keep up with a hunter-gatherer society, but i'd be the least capable among them.
Optimal would be in-season local vegetables, in-season local fruit, and remaining calories from a variety of grains (and legumes) and occasional varied inexpensive meats.
You could make it cheaper with frozen vegetables, but you'd lose some nutrition (maybe, and taste if you did care), and by skipping fruit (losing some nutrition) and meat (again losing some nutrition)
Nutritionally, dried fruit is pretty ok if it's not sweetened. Canned fruit is pretty worthless, and juice is worthless.
Canned vegetables are fine if cheap, but lose some nutrition over fresh. Fermenting in-season vegetables can preserve most nutrition to tide you over for when nothing is affordable.
Most calories would be from grains and legumes: lentils, peas, rice (brown has more nutrition, white is usually cheaper), beans, corn, etc. Whole grain breads are nutritionally great if they aren't full of preservatives. If you dont have a local baker just skip bread altogether.
Avoid coffee (maybe), beer, wine (probably), cider, liquor, smoking, and drugs. Tea might be fine but it has no nutrition so it might also be avoided. (or not, see comment below)
If you can afford it (and enjoy it), meat is very nutritious and calorie-dense in moderation, so a small reduction in starch for a proportionally small increase in meat can be beneficial for some lifestyles. Obviously you dont want to reduce fruit or vegetables since they have the most nutrition per calorie in general, but a diet exclusively of fruit and vegetables is expensive and unreliable (and possibly not nutritionally optimal). The type of meat depends on where you live: shrimp, anchovies, chicken, goat, beef, whatever is cheap and available.
Some spices, oil, and salt would make it all a lot better tasting, and wouldn't add much to the cost. This is pretty much the diet of working people all over the world, just with different specifics.
Thanks! there are a couple more wayland compositors that do have this feature, but other Plasma features are often lacking.
Fair. i conflated two separate complaints about two different operating systems
A sweet find either way! Both are quite tasty
Chantrelles grow on soil, oysters grow on rotting wood, but sometimes oysters growing shallowly-buried roots can appear to be sprouting from the soil
