Looks like this is just for storing the data (birth date). Distros can use it and do age restriction or ignore it. Not a big deal imo. Its not like systemd does anything more with the date.

I think kwrite on kde. Arch may come more barebones though.
It’s hard to point to one because linux isn’t an operating system per se… and many distros come with different software packages with different DE’s. That’s where a GUI text editor’s home is, so it depends on that, the distro.


Its really a shame. Every OS needs a simple text editor, possibly without formatting support of any kind. You’re not supposed to use it, it just makes it possible to edit basic configurations on the fly and things like that. Instead they support half of word pad and cram in copilot for some reason.
Although I do admit, I haven’t seen the need to move away from kwrite for a long time. Basic text editor that does what it should and does it right!


Yup. My entire PC desk (monitor, PC, 2+1 speakers) draw 7W when the PC is turned off (old speakers draw power when off for some reason). For comparison: My NUC server draws 7W white turned on, doing useful work. This infuriates me, so I got a zigbee power switch and shut the PC desk completely off when I’m not home.
If 7W for nothing pisses me off, you’re damn straight an idle or sleeping PC will too!


Some SOTA bullshit!
So… uh… laptops have a copilot key on the keyboard now…
I’ve watched Linus some 10 years ago and it always seemed like he’s more of a face and a presenter and has others do research and tell him what to do. They give him some minimum info and let him go and make content. He knows more than the average person and apparently that’s enough to make content.
I wish he took it more seriously. He has a huge platform and can reach a lot of people and he often rather uses it for his own enrichment instead shining a light.
I wish that wasn’t a video, but a website with everything explained on one page. We used to host things damnit! /end rant
For Arch, I’d go with something like EndeavorOS. The installation is easy for someone who knows what a file system or software repository is and I absolutely loved that you can install a bare bones system: just the desktop and almost no apps and you can go from there and install what you like (I wish fedora offered this).
I ended up not using Arch/Endeavor because of rolling releases and I found the AUR dangerous. I mean, its not dangerous, but anyone can put anything on there and its your job (and the communities) to make sure its good. I think a “build all the software yourself” is a great philosophy, but it only fits computer geeks (and I mean this in a good way). We cant all be Richard Stallman. I think for somethings, I can accept an “arbiter of software” who curates what gets on the repo and what doesn’t and that its shared via compiled binaries instead of code.
Fedora’s philosophy is free software only. So vanilla Fedora ships with FOSS only. Imo, they’re really good at this, but I personally couldn’t live with that. The community maintained fusion repository is essential because of Nvidia drivers and full ffmpeg. Steam is in a separate non-free repo as well.
Other than than tidbit, Fedora is easy to install, well maintained, has a large community and wide third party support (as in software devs often build “native fedora” binaries available on their repo).
I prefer it to any other Fedora based distro, but for the reason above, it may not be best suited for the average lemming.
Its only office.
You’re right. I’m looking at it through a very limited scope: nightly releases. I’ve been working with “latest” so long, I forgot actual versions exist.
I recently realized: fuck it, just have the build date as the version: 2026.02.28.14 with the last number being the hour. I can immediately tell when something is on latest or not. You can get a little cheeky with the short year ‘26’ but that’s it. No reason to have some arbitrary numbers represent some strange philosophy behind them.


Not all data is equal. I backup things i absolutely can not lose and yolo everything else. My love for this hobby does not extend to buying racks of hard drives.
No way. You’re telling me I can just write json instead?
Heh same here. I’m missing so many toolbars I regularly use in VS. I do use VScode at home but I’m always at a loss on how to do something.
The thing about CLI is that everything is hidden by default. You come to the application with your own mindset and a goal in mind and you figure out how make it do what you want.
When there’s a GUI, you often see everything that’s possible from the start and so the application dictates how you use it.
Though, you can do either with CLI and GUI as well. That’s the sweet spot I think is the best. I love it when a CLI app guides the user through a process and gives options. And a good GUI should disable OK buttons and show validation errors if not everything is entered correctly.
In a perfect world, every app has a CLI mode, interactive and non interactive and a GUI mode with full validation and responsive UI changes. But realistically, good UX is what we need, either GUI or CLI.


It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.


I got them from Etsy
Ugh… just say you made them if is your shop… this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice…
Location, weather and time is key when eating outside. Have eaten many a meal outside without issue and I prefer it to inside when the three align.
