We have a wireless Brother laser MFP from 2-3 years ago that just works. I needed to scan something for the first time a few weeks ago and started to go down to rabbit hole of the official driver package but then I decided to give “scanimage” a try and it just found the scanner.

Dawncaster is a really solid roguelike deck builder. One time payment, no ads, paid DLCs with additional archetypes and maps.

Bitwarden includes a username generator with a few different options for types.

Yes. The current count is 610.

Plasma’s not that old, it just came out a few years ago…

2008?

Mulva?

I should probably clarify that I think my wife did something wrong and not Pop. I ran it smoothly for months before moving to Bazzite on my item machine. She knows enough to be dangerous and may have changed something without knowing what it did.

An atomic system would be more SO proof for me.

I’ve had my wife on Pop for 3-4 months now but she performed some update in the Pop Shop this week that totally borked the bootloader. I was not able to repair or even get it to see her hard drive.

I was able to mount the drive using the Pop live USB and backup her data. I moved her over to Bazzite, which is what I use.

It just works for me. I tried it about a year ago when I still had an Nvidia card and Wayland wasn’t playing nice. I’ve since upgraded to an AMD and most things just work out of the box.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle gave me some trouble, but that’s just typical for MachineGames’s engine on Linux.

The most difficult thing about Bazzite is figuring out rpm-ostree and package layering. Luckily there isn’t much I need that’s not in the package library.

I was in my mid 30s when I found out that you could hold some button when continuing after game over in Super Mario Bros to continue in the world you died.

We just got gud and abused the turtle shell stair 1up.

I’m part of a CSA with a small, local farm. The winter share was $5 a dozen for 2 dozen every other week. We’ll see if the price goes up for the summer share.

Maybe I’m lucky to be in a city with tons of farms nearby, but I’d encourage others to look for local options like this.

My old washer died about two weeks ago. It was a 30 year old Frigidaire that shorted something and made magic smoke. That was a pretty asshole move.

We replaced it with a Speed Queen and it’s been great so far.

The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold is like Horatio Hornblower in space. The main character has dwarfism and accidentally commandeers a mercenary fleet as a teenager.

I agree for the big ones, but we have a local one I’ve subscribed to a few times, for a couple months at a time.

They pull all the ingredients from local farms, do local delivery or pickup at farmer’s markets, and they’re minimal on packaging, and they reuse the bags and ice packs. I haven’t done it in a while but it was pretty nice and it was helpful to break out of the routine of the same meals week in and out.

Everyone else seems to have addressed the cloud part, which I was a little skeptical about too. I understood it is a development aspect, not an end user aspect, so I decided to use it. I’ve been using it as my daily driver for about 6 months and have had no problems.

The atomic part was the biggest hurdle for me, since I wasn’t familiar with rpm-ostree, but I’m getting the hang of it. It’s had the added benefit of keeping me from breaking things through stupid mistakes since I can just roll back my changes.

This is what I do for Bazzite and Mullvad.

I can’t get it to update through the repo while layered, so I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall using the new rpm each time. I keep saying I’m going to get around to troubleshooting it and then forget about it until the next update.

I think the story was that he had disappeared from friends and family for a few months prior.

My first job in IT 20-some years ago began swapping their CRTs for LCDs and I got to take home a Dell rebadge of a 19” Trinitron. It did 1600x1200 at 75hz. It had a fantastic picture for gaming. I can’t for the life of me remember what happened to it.
