Why in the world would I not want to see downvotes?
This is why I hate ACAB. The time it could take for a random good person to realize not only is their profession infested with evil, but then also find a new job and quit, is substantial enough that combined with the churn rate and number of cops, I may be calling millions of good people bastards for no good reason, which may actually make those people tend to disagree with me and my ideas that the police system itself is corrupt. They know they aren't a bastard and from their perspective I'm just insulting them mindlessly. Someone insulting you for no reason can't be that wise of a person, or have that good of an argument, they might think.
The system is corrupt. Many of the people are fine. Stop name calling people you've never met like children. Lower police funding. Demilitarize them. Restrict their powers. Investigate them more. Make punishments more strict for those with any power at all. But don't call random people you've never met or even heard about bastards.
They are describing revenge but don't want to say that word.
What is better about this than a 4tb firecuda drive for less money?
Check serverpartdeals, they have tons of stock. I'm currently looking at buying several of these over the next year or two.
That's a good price. I'm considering buying an exos x20 18tb for 189 from serverpartdeals so just about as good of a deal depending on which hdd you got.
What an interesting read. You made my day!
What are thaw things you process used for?
I fear I might not have results soon. I am going to stick around until Pop Cosmic comes, and then switch to bazzite or tumbleweed if it doesn't tickle me pink. I am going to install a couple on a 2nd drive, but won't be using them as my daily driver until cosmic.
I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn't want chocolate).
Not a single child came. I didn't see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.
The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.
Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.
How was everyone else's Halloween?
Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED "trick or treat" sign we hung on the porch.
Yeah I actually know about that. Pop's whole shtick of versatile tiling and workspace management doesn't really benefit me at all, and I reckon the new DE will heavily feature that as well. That's not necessarily a downside, but it doesn't really make me want to use it over anything else either. What I do know is that KDE is great, I love using it, I love using its apps, and many of its apps don't work quite right on POP as it is.
However, I AM interested in Cosmic's support of nvidia hardware, variable refresh rate, and support for obscure nonsensical monitor setups (which I have haha). So I think I'm going to give it a try, and hope it isn't worse than gnome. I'm not particularly a fan of gnome, but it does have some cool plugins and wide support.
From what I can tell, nothing is better about the KDE implementation than other KDE distros, but it does check most of the boxes for me. Rolling (ish) release, supports plasma put of the box, not too much work to set up. Kubuntu isn't as frequently updated which is the main downside for me.
Yeah it's looking like that or tumbleweed is the play here. Both seem great.
I'll be honest, that name gives me the vibe of some somewhat good guy who got straight A's but has worked at a sandwich shop for 10 years.
Thank you. I'm definitely doing to trial bazzite and tumbleweed. Both have received near unanimous praise from anyone who mentioned them in my 2 posts, Tumbleweed moreso.
Thank you, that was helpful. Right now, Tumbleweed is currently in the lead, though I'm going to trial several of them.
Thank you so much, that was very informative. Tumbleweed is looking more attractive the more I think about it. Or bazzite. I'm going to trial run both of those plus Endeavor OS.
At the very least I want any Ubuntu derivitive to be as good as pop OS, which means no snap and mildly acceptable package maintenance, so that rules out a few options. Pop OS does seem to be one of the best Ubuntu based distros for Nvidia support, and already checks a lot of my boxes so I may even make the decision to stay on this until I can build a red team PC for much easier hardware support (which I already planned on doing eventually).
Thanks! And yeah I'll definitely try several. I have 2 or 3 that I'm definitely going to test drive for a week thanks to all of the helpful comments I'm getting.
Thank you for this. From the replies in both of my posts, I'm leaning towards either tumbleweed or bazzite/aurora. Both seem great, but maybe tumbleweed is slightly ahead in my mind. I'll probably try 2 or 3 distros anyway.
Edit: Tumbleweed and bazzite are currently the most attractive options based on what I've learned from the comments. I will trial run those and 1 or 2 others.
I am currently on Pop OS.
I am dissatisfied with the DE/UI and I've been playing with others but half the point of this distro is it's custom UI. So I figured I would try another. I have several criteria that may narrow it down.
-
I am going to use KDE or KDE Plasma (preferred). This is the only non-negotiable criteria.
-
I will be gaming. This means I would like relatively up to date kernel and software. Rolling or semi-rolling releases are preferred.
2.5. I also work from this pc. This mainly entails using discord and Firefox though so no special requirements. I do have 4 different sized monitors with 3 different refresh rates that I use for work. Only one for gaming. One is vertical. I can tell I'm pushing x to its limits with that setup.
-
I would prefer Debian-based as that is what I'm used to and because .deb packages are so common.
-
I don't want it to be a ton of effort to set up. Pop OS worked out of the box with my Nvidia GPU and all other hardware. I am willing to put in some effort though.
-
I have been using and very much like apt and flatpak. This is not a requirement, just an observation.
-
Wayland is neat
-
Active community with lots of support to search through. Pop OS has been good for this as it's Ubuntu based and has its own great community.
Ultimately I want an easy to use desktop OS that uses some sort of KDE, supports up to date packages and drivers, supports most games and isn't a pain to maintain.
Here are some contenders that fit at least some of my requirements.
KDE Neon user edition
Opensuse tumbleweed
Kubuntu
Endeavor OS
Debian
Manjaro
Bazzite
Mint Debian edition
Right now I'm leaning toward KDE Neon, Kubuntu, or Debian (whatever the rolling release version is), but the others all have their draws. I've heard the aur is great but I have come across several applications only available in website downloads of Deb packages so I'm hesitant.
I have been using pop as my first desktop distro after Windows and I've enjoyed it a lot. I barely run into anything I can't solve with some effort and headache and not a single game I can't play. I'd like to keep it that way.
Now that that's out of the way, does anyone have suggestions? Am I looking in the wrong direction? Am I asking the wrong questions? Should I just install arch, live in the terminal, and throw away my mouse? /s
Thank you all for your advice in advance.

I am bad at the game, and I often fly my ships too fast towards a space station and can't stop in time. I've never heard that warning and NOT blown up seconds afterwards.
