    Yes, barely. Kind of odd on FF on mobile, have to long press it, and it shows like the first 100 characters or so. But I did read the screenshot by zooming, so we cool.

    Thank you for taking the time to write an alt text! Wife is an accessibility consultant/expert/researcher, who works mainly with vision impaired people, and she has made me realize how crucial it is. :)

    Seems nice so far. Wayland works better than in 12, but still has issues with nvidia drivers + KDE Plasma combo. Some software (Signal desktop, discord at least) have a really annoying flickering going on, and toggling Vsync on/off crashes any software that tries it. Swapped to X11 instead, and it works like a charm.



  • Oh yeah, I was thinking about that today, too; get a “for most stuff” distro as the baremetal, and VM specialist distros (like Kali or something) on top of it when needed.

    I will definitely check out KVM at some point! I was just gonna chuck VBox at it, but your salespitch convinced me to try at it. Been mostly working with Azure and ESXi for the past 10 years, had no idea KVM was so advanced now, I saw something about it back in the day, but it was a tech demo -level back then.

    Thank you kindly for the insight!




  • Thanks for the alternative take. Good to know that Fedora supports Flatpak that easily.

    Blender has a video editor?! Geez, used it back in the day for 3D rendering, but didn’t even cross my mind for videos. Inkscape is a great idea!

    Had a couple of recommendations for Ardour from other folks as well, will have to give it a go. Free is free after all.

    Games fortunately I have the most experience with lately, was in another country with my ancient T530, and was bored, so did some gaming on Ubuntu, got mostly everything working pretty quickly.

    Cheers for the music points. I got some pointers, that Nobara is great for music stuff, and Bazzite can be optimized for it, but takes some effort and fiddling. I gotta take a look at Ardour and Bitwig, see if I vibe with them. How are they with older (my keyboard is around 2010 I believe) MIDI devices, do you happen to have experience?


  • Thanks for the POV. Mint I tried back when it was step up from Damn Small Linux, like early 2000’s, no clue how it is now. I’ll keep it in mind.

    I got interested in the immutable concept, since it wasn’t a thing back when I was more of a linux user, and I’ve gotten lazy and burnt out on fixing my OS when I just want to do something fun. But you do make a good point of sacrificing flexibility, and I might get annoyed at that later.





  • Massively overworked due to summer holidays starting, so everyone wants projects done before that.

    Massive hematoma in my back thigh hasn’t healed properly even after 3 months, and still causing swelling and makes it hard to walk.

    Considering upping my ADHD meds because they seem to be losing effectiveness (still in early stages of testing the meds, 6 months on them now).

    Everything is getting expensive and even with higher than mean salary for my country, two working adults and no kids, we’re barely scraping by.

    ISP lied to me and my fiber is getting installed in 2027 instead of summer of 2025, so I’m stuck with 5g, but at least the transmitter is 60m from my house, so it works pretty well.

    Russia, The US, radical conservatism and the climate change causes me immeasurable dread and sense of impending doom, that’s causing my anxiety to get worse.

    I never have time, energy and motivation at the same time to work on hobby projects I would really love to work on.

    Other than that, I’m alright. It’s not as bad as it sounds, could be worse. Got a job, roof over my head, no drug habits, don’t really drink anymore after years of crippling alcoholism. Dog’s allergies are finally under control after a very long hassle of and a lot of money, so that’s good. Gotta focus on the positives.

    Thank you for asking, apparently I had some stuff I wanted to get out, didn’t even really realize that.

    How about you, how are you doing OP? (And everyone else of course.)
