If you were, not anymore. That’s what I’m calling it from now on.

Always convenient when the trash takes itself out.

Sure. “Costumes”.

Hate is a strong word, i don’t feel strongly enough about an os to really hate it. I still use a Windows 10 pc for my music production since all of my vsts work there and continue working there even after updates and whatever else.

My daily driver is running pop os. my main reason for switching was just a personal disagreement with the direction windows was going back around 2021ish when they were talking about integrated advertising in the file explorer. Linux was always something I wanted to get to learning so the timing just seemed right to switch over.

Seconding pop os for a solid starter Linux distro.

Been daily driving it for about 3 years now i think.

I tried for awhile to make osmc work on an raspi4 for media playing and it was always just… not quite there.

I ended up going with a Ebay mini pc with Plex on it and stream to my TV with a Roku stick. Just worked so much better without much effort on my part.

90 days? That’s so quick. I lived in my current city without a doctor for nearly a decade. Now I have an nurse practitioner and any appointment I want to make with them is always 6 months out.

This shit isn’t good enough.

Huh I always thought ventoy was just another iso to usb writer. I’ve been totally sleeping on the fact it can hold a bunch of isos and installs them directly. That’s so handy

My joint walks go right by the gas station. so its either a chocolate bar or a bag of sunchips (french onion or cheddar) If i skip the gas station, i destroy all the leftovers and end up having nothing to bring for lunch tomorrow at work.

Been awhile since i’ve see that jar!

Mostly smooth. When I jumped onto pop os I think it was the 21.10 version which was good. Only the ng that I never got working was lutris. When 22.04 was released I updated to that and had some weirdness afterwards that I couldn’t quite iron out. I ended up doing a fresh install with 22.04 and it’s been great since.

I always wanted to learn. I had a number of failed attempts with Linux back in 2000, 2006, etc. I always gave it a shot every 5 years ago just to see.

I fully made the switch with pop os a couple years ago and it ended up sticking. I was in a better place to learn linux and pop os is just easy and noob friendly. This last time was also spurned on when the rumour was going around that windows 11 was going to have ads right in the explorer. I don’t know if that ever happened but it was enough to get me to give it another shot haha

So grim and sad.

Just my anecdotal experience here, but it sounds like your self medication plan of using cannabis for depression isn’t working.
I frequently combat depressive and high anxiety periods and find that weed doesn’t specifically help with those feelings. What it does help is my sleep so i can at least rest instead of staying up all night thinking about things i can’t change anyway. With that said, consider cutting back a bit and restricting your consumption to just before bed, and start working with a counsellor so you can start at a root cause of your depression. I hope things turn around for you soon :)

I prefer the smokey flavour of a joint compared to the dry herb vaporiser flavour. I find dry herb flavour almost sickly sweet and it can make me nauseous. I definitely prefer the efficiency of the vaporiser tho. I can use about half the material I would for a joint and be proper stoned. Plus it doesn’t stink up my clothes.

I hear ya, looking back I think went thru a similar thing in my 20s so I can understand that feeling.

It must be hard to dig out of if you’re surrounded by a bunch of people who are buying in or supporting that behavior

So cute of them to pretend that they give a fuck about kids or anyone outside their ridiculous worldview.
