I’m not a computer guy. I’m a bicycle guy.
I build them up myself, buy cheap ones on ebay to fix and modify, know basically all there is to know about stem standards, drivetrain compatibility, etc.I currently have 6 non-functional bikes in my garage.
The key is to call them all “pet projects” that are “still being worked on” and then not do anything with them for another month.
(Engineering/Tech guy here)
just a month?
Renew as needed :)
And also
Btw, downloading a CD (.iso) on the phone to boot it, because your Linux broke while you had no bootable thumbdrive around. Is something a lot of people here did sometime.
PSA: get a cheap thumb drive and install ventoy. You’ll never regret it!
Plus you can technically still use it to store files if you make a directory in the ventoy dump partition.
I keep memtest86+, clonezilla, Ubuntu 24.04lts, gparted, and boot-repair on the drive.
maybe not ventoy specifically since it’s full of binary blobs that are virtually unvettable
I’ve got a binary blob right here 🥵
my blob is non binary
- We tried setting up hyprland with Arch
- Used an older guide, updated and translated it to the newest standard, learning about the unique scripting
- Get almost everything working
- Actually loved the feel of the ui and did get used to using terminal for almost everything
- Things started falling apart
- Steam started fucking up, everything was going horrible.
- joined the support discord, found problem doing good over more :)
- Update? Oo oki!
- Hyprland: hmm nice fully custom set up you have here, would be a shame if someone were to change all the ui script you literally just learned :)
- :(
- Back on KDE + Cachy OS as we didn’t want to fight with our computer anymore, it’s good, great even, but… missing the window management of Hyprland now.
- Don’t get us wrong, we’re very happy with KDE! It’s just… that window management 🥺
- if only we could get that in KDE
Not when tvey run debian. shit just works, nonstop all the time
…at the price of everything moving at snail’s pace
How is that a bad thing? The vulnerabilities get fixed and the distro is stable.
It’s just a personal peference honestly 🤠
I wouldn’t trust anything other than Debian on my homelab server for example, but RaspberypiOS has been getting more frustrating by the day! I wanted to install plasma-bigscreen for example, but “oh it’s too new to be in the repos! get fucked :P”

Urge to distro hop again…rising…
Sorry to divert from the topic but
I have almost my entire configuration as “code” (data structures more like, but what’s the difference any way?)
This is the first time I’ve seen someone make this distinction.
Configuration files are specifications, not code. Code means it needs to be compiled/interpreted.
