In the comments he kept responding to everyone being critical and being like “well it’s my computer so I can do anything I want to it”

I forgot about that part, that whole “repair” was such a mess
I think it was a security torx screw if I remember correctly so it makes sense he wouldn’t necessarily have an appropriate bit, but it would have been so little effort to just order one or go to a store
I stopped watching when he got that one rare IBM workstation and sloppily dremeled in all the the screws to open it because he was too lazy to go to the store to buy a screwdriver. That was before I even heard about this and the stupid gun stuff. I know it’s like a minor thing and he only damaged screws and sheet metal parts that could in theory be replaced with a medium amount of difficulty, but I just can’t imagine intentionally damaging something very uncommon because you’re too lazy to buy a screwdriver
The weather isn’t openweather’s fault. It’s a limitation in libgweather (a gnome project). They have to manually approve locations for them to work.
It’s a dumb workaround but this script lets you add custom locations https://gitlab.com/julianfairfax/scripts/-/blob/main/add-location-to-gnome-weather.sh
You definitely can install a graphical desktop on whichever BSD, you’ll just have to follow instructions online somewhere instead of running a premade script.
If you want something really easy to use graphically right out of the box there’s also Haiku, it’s a completely independent OS that’s sort of an open source clone of BeOS but a lot more unixy than BeOS was. It’s really lightweight and has maybe my favorite desktop GUI out of every operating system I’ve used. The only real downside to it is that there isn’t an amazing web browser for it yet, the built in WebPositive is a little lacking in support for modern sites and GNOME Web, which you can install from HaikuDepot was a little unstable last time I tried it. If you don’t need to use the web a ton though (which is probably the more pleasant option on your particular system regardless of browser), it’s really nice.
I’ve never noticed BSDs being much slower, and if you’re already used to minimal linux distros like arch it’s not that hard to set them up unless you like need linux-only software.
Perhaps openbsd or netbsd? They’re probably less likely to drop hardware support for your device in the near future than any linux distribution
Freebsd is also an option but you would have to compile it yourself as the prebuilt binaries are currently 686 despite it having support back to 486
That would definitely be valid for a smaller community supported distro like mint, but canonical is a big company that already has kind of a bad reputation for things like that so I think it was reasonable for people to complain
The cursed but arguably better way is cp image.img /dev/whatever
Yes, it’s so awful. In the winter if you’re cold you can just put on a coat but in the summer if you’re hot there’s nothing you can do about it. Also it’s still light really late which I hate and it’s just overall a miserable season. It’s one of the biggest reasons I would like to move somewhere other than where I live now
Meanwhile there is no specific demonym for people from the united states, you can say american buy that would also include every other north and south american country
My windows vm runs Cairo shell as the desktop and I’ve replaced the file manager with Dolphin and the command prompt with Konsole and notepad with Kate and it almost feels like a usable operating system
For operating systems https://winworldpc.com/library is easier to find things in and has way faster download speeds
I interpreted that as meaning he broke his nose while typing at first and I was very confused
Now in 2024 our computers are trying too hard to be human and being really annoying for opposite reasons. Recently a windows computer I was turning off to reimage told me to “Please release the power button” because it “Just needs a few seconds to shut down”. I do not like when a computer begs me not to do what I’m doing
Ubuntu -> OpenSuse -> Arch -> OpenSuse
I used ubuntu from when I got my first computer until like 2021 and then I realized I had no idea why I was using it because I didn’t like it
Looks like opensuse which means it makes a snapshot before every upgrade automatically so if anything breaks you just roll back and everything’s back to how it was
Silverblue is so good, everything works perfectly out of the box on my hardware (Framework 13 AMD). I was worried I was going to forget how to do anything because it was so easy so I had to make a second partition and install OpenBSD
