  • My journey was very uneven:

    Windows (for many years) -> Ubuntu (for 2 months, dual-boot) -> Windows (for about 6 years, because of some very specific software + pre-Proton gaming) -> Linux Mint (for about a month) -> popOS (for almost a year) -> endeavourOS (now, but always on the look-out for new stuff)

    But in between the “main” journey, there was always some stuff trying out, like Void (on an old PC), Arch (inside a VM, now use that VM as a lightweight environment for testing some stuff out)




  • Well, first: It was meant as a simple humorous comment, not hornyposting for oil barons/industrialists. If I haven’t made myself clear, my bad.

    And: Even then, OOPs reaction was overreacting and giving the Internet, and Tumblr of all places, a wide attack vector.

    (Btw - even when in 2070 the oil executives were to see their consequences, they would put the blame towards the common people, like they do today with things like “the CO2 footprint” as in “blaming the people instead of themselves, the aviation and maritime freight industries”)












  • Well, I do not know about current gen A3s, mine (8P with the older 2 liter diesel) currently only has the “higher idle” problem, where the ECU thinks that there is not enough voltage in the system while the engine’s running (even though it is 13.8V). I believe it is due to the alternator’s age, but I have to check.

    Prior to that it had a coolant leak due to the EGR cooler and other problems stemming from the pre-owner’s total neglect regarding maintenance, but nothing that hinders me from passing inspection… yet.
