Wait, are you setting up PPAs? If you're using a user-friendly distro, either flathub should be enabled by default or the AUR is easily accessible with pamac or the chaotic-AUR. If software availability is a problem, I don't know what to tell you; I think you started with a more difficult distribution than you intended to. PPAs suck.

The classical music world has been through this before, with Richard Wagner. Orchestras in Israel wouldn't play his music for decades, but eventually, even they relented. It's good music. Well, I mean, between the boring halves of hours, anyway, it's good music.

Thank you for providing an actual answer. Most of the comments in this thread are condescending as hell.

This is a popular opinion outside of Lemmy. You won't find many lowercase "l" libertarians here though.

How important is the Windows-style desktop? If the VM is designed for one thing and one thing only, I'd pick any minimal WM that can alt-tab, say JWM, and then just add Firefox and Thunderbird to the autostart file.

Having seen a total eclipse before, I know solar eclipses are in danger of being overhyped. IMO, they probably aren't worth driving across the country. But if all you need is a 3 to 5 hour drive to get to the path of totality, I think you should absolutely do it. They're legit. Not, like, life changing, but legit. Find a place with a few trees so you can watch the crescent shadows and maybe hear some wildlife freak out.

Either scalloped with cheese, boiled in chicken broth until the broth boils off and the potatoes are basically already mashed for you, or my laptop.

Nah, you can be old. We played music with the buttons all the time.

Well, looks like I forgot for another month, but 3 months was no problem either.

This is a popular opinion, but only because most Lemmy users think this post isn't about them.

I'm shocked Lemmy has so many users. Feels like only a few thousand.
