  • Second impression of Garuda (Arch based). My first impression was the dragonized version, which is KDE with lots of mods to make it Mac like, but with extra window animations.

    I like things simple, so when I tried Garuda again, I installed the Gnome version. Other than some weirdness getting my Nvidia card working with Wayland, it has run better than anything else on my laptop.


  • Fully agree with this. There will be a slight learning curve since it will be different from what your used to, but it’s friendly enough to figure out.

    If you know the windows program you want to use just search something like “Linux alternative for x” (sometimes there is specific KDE or Gnome progs)




  • Ha, I did the same thing. Was getting really tired of pip issues and attempting to use pyenv and messing up a lot. Figured I’d start clean.

    Didn’t realize so much depended on python and ended up needing to rebuild the whole thing.

    Now I don’t mess with python on my host and only use VMs for Dev or messing around.




  • Self hoster of Invidious, I’ve just setup a docker instance with a Watchtower docker container running too for auto updates. No real maintenance needed.

    NewPipe on Android

    There are definitely times where things will stop working for a bit (due to Google shananagans) but the devs seem on top of it. So it doesn’t take too long before it’s working again.




  • I wanted to go this route, but for the current stage of my life, I couldn’t go that granular. I currently have a spreadsheet that keeps track of totals in each bank account (short term, long term, college, retirement savings and checking) as well as total (net) income and expenditures (broken into “essential” and “non-essential”).

    I then setup formulas to calculate total saved, (as well as necessary only saved, in case of financial stress to see what we can cut out), total assets, and compares those assets to the previous month and year.

    While I want to get more granular, that is all I can do for now.




  • Yep, I’m 36, mid Atlantic US, started driving stick when I was 18. I inherited this little Geo Metro for college, so it was learn stick or no car. (I really liked that car dispite it not having air conditioning, no tachometer, and manual everything)

    Next car I bought was a manual. Now since my spouse can’t drive stick we only have automatics.

    Whenever we need a new car it’ll be electric, which unfortunately (by design) are not manuals. So no more stick for me.
