This is like Holocaust denial in the 21st century. Those that refuse to see what the Jew-Nazis are doing.

Nah, I’m fine offing upper middle class considering their Republican voting trend.

No, you missed me. Richest 1% in the world. Which would include dictators.

I see we conveniently are just not going to talk about how the Jew-Nazis are absolutely using this as an excuse to maximize collateral damage to the civilian populace of their enclose open air concentration camp of a city. However you want to justify the genocide this is, feel free, but the world is watching, and sympathy for what the Jews went through during the Holocaust is wearing thin since they’ve been essentially running their own genocide for the better part of a century.

See for me it’d just be the richest 1% of people in the world.

I’m drawing some very obvious parallels in how they were treated and how they treat the Palestinians.

…because the Zionist Jew-Nazis of Israel have absolutely zero respect for any defined borders. They’ve defied the ones set up in 1938, 1947, and again in the 60s when the UN stepped in again. You can look at the progression maps over time, that 100% is the Jew-Nazis violating repeatedly the treaties set.

Let’s start calling them what they are. The Jew-Nazis.

You have no idea the temptation I have to do just that. A satellite connection and a remote job for income and I’d be good. A family member is up in Alaska already, he’s got a plot of land with a natural gas deposit that wasn’t large enough or near enough to a populated area for the US gov to care about. So they’ve got it tapped and have a pretty ideal setup. They bought my grandfather’s tractor a while ago an old restored 1912 John Deere.

I do enjoy the comforts of living near everything. I’m not sure I could give up having 100s of restaurants to choose from and a dozen or more grocery stores in a 10 mile radius. Or the specialty delis, high speed gigabit, and other comforts of civilization.

If your stream is at the max setting that’s comfortable and you move around a bit and make sure to get the whole area I’ve got nothing for you other than a recommendation to up the fiber in your diet.

I did get a nicer one that can just about peel the skin off on the highest setting, but even the lower quality one I have on the main bathroom downstairs gets me completely clean. I do tend to use it longer than 30 seconds, I’m pretty thorough about the rinse process.

Dude for real. A cheap bidet attachment for your toilet is the way to go.

First off, a bidet is better than toilet paper. I’ve been using it for years, and it cleans you 100%. I use basically 1 square of TP to dry myself after, and it’s always completely clean. If you had a bird shit on your arm would you just wipe it off with paper and call it a day?

I laughed at all my friends who made fun of me for getting one on all my toilets after the great TP shortage of 2021, and a few of them ended up switching over.

For the apocalypse I have a camping toilet with a foot operated bidet. I mean I already use it when car camping, and I have a hand bidet for backpacking.

Solar panels are also in play. I also bought a freeze dryer and have about 5 deers worth of freeze dried jerky, and buy and freeze dry on sale fruit and veggies pretty regularly. I try to maintain around a 1-2 year supply of on hand food. A few steel plates, ar-15 pistol, and enough ammo to hold off the upper floor for quite a while too, but that’s another conversation. I’m as ready to go as I can though, let’s do this.

Thanks for the extension!

I may give it a shot later. Right now I just spent 4 days getting things set up and to a point where I’m comfortable with it’s use. So I may settle down for a bit right now and just learn to use Pop even more. I like it overall, just had a few small annoyances like the desktop shortcut thing. But other than that everything is just working right now, which has not been my historical experience with Linux.

I just want an experience that’s as dumbed down GUI-heavy and easy to use as Windows, and so far this is fitting the bill nicely.

Pop!OS worked out for me in the end.

Linux users can be worse than Jehovah’s witnesses or crack dealers when pushing you to try a new OS.

lol… the KDE crowd seems really devoted, and intent on snagging a new convert. I’ll give it a shot I’m sure. But I’m definitely saving an image of this just in case.

I’m the same way. I just started using Linux and Landed on Pop!OS. Tumbleweed is high on my short list of things to try, but I finally got everything working, and boy is it working well.

I think the reason is my hardware profile is extremely similar to Pop!OS products, so I just happened to land on something per-optimized for my system out of dumb luck. I’m frankly shocked at how far linux has come. Lutro is what we’ve been waiting for on game installs for better than 20 years. Steam integration is of course nice, but I hate using game stores and hate being locked into that.

Anyways, been a cool experience so far.

Ideally we wouldn’t sacrifice our ideals of freedom for money. This is America though and we’re all capitalist whores first and foremost though.

My first experience was with Fedora. The very first install I tried was the KDEPrism version.

You’re really not selling me here. You had me worried for a second with the old version of Ubuntu 22. But that’s just when they diverged, they have a rolling 6 month release as well and are an active OS after my noob few seconds of googling. I also see dev comments that state that they when they release those updates they’re basically modified versions of whatever Ubuntu is releasing. So looks like for all intents and purposes I’m on the latest version of ubuntu. Reading comparisons between the two, this is kind of a slightly stripped down and debloated ubuntu, which almost makes me want to give that a look.

You’re definitely not going to sell me soon on a version that depends on command line installation. That’s just ridiculous in 2023 dawg. You’re talking to a Windows refugee, who admittedly knows enough about DOS and writes his own .bat files and other stuff, but for a lot of things, I want it as dumb and easy as possible. Pop!OS is doing a great job of that.

I also like that they sell their own hardware. It means they have commercial reasons to want their product to work as best it can, and since I have a pretty close hardware profile to their Nvidia setup, I’m actually even more sold because of the sheer level of compatibility of my existing hardware after looking for a minute.

Pop uses x11 by default but can be switched to Wayland at the boot screen by clicking the gear and selecting Wayland. So looks like either or on the fly.

Oh Lord Omnimessiah, bestow your blessings upon the machine spirit of this workstation. May it’s sacred code be free of blasphemous error and wasted resources. May the magnificence of it’s function be even a pale reflection of your own perfection. In your name we pray, amen.

Fixed my Nord issue, someone did say something about lan discovery mode being a thing, which, as a quality of life thing should be enabled by default I would think, but whatever.

I’m sticking with this distro for a minute, for now I mostly care about text in websites on the big screen and ctrl mousewheel is working fine for zooming a bit for now. Right now I’m all about trying to just get settled and familiar with something before hopping around too much. Pop has been pretty good to me so far. I did try Fedora’s KDEPlasma spin, it did NOT me and I didn’t like it.

Do you have a recommendation for an Nvidia setup should I be interested?

Fixed it for me, I will look at lan discovery mode, that would be the smarter option.
