You must live somwhere they don’t salt the roads.

I went through Ubuntu, Nobara, manjaro, mint, pop, Ubuntu again, and landed on open suse. I have no exotic hardware. My biggest issue was the pc going into hibernate and then never coming back. The secondary issue was getting certain games on steam to work and an Xbox controller. I seem to have all of that licked with suse and some tinkering. The battle I’m having now is when the pc goes to sleep/hibernate/whatever sometimes it completely forgets it’s monitor settings and I have to turn the second monitor back on and then change them from 200% back to 100%. Which I thought I had solved by messing with the monitors.config file but I guess not…

Asus rog m16 laptop if that helps any.

I’ve had very bad luck trying to ditch windows. I’ve been through 6 or 7 different distros trying to find one that works properly with my pc. Somehow I’ve landed on open suse? That one seems to be cooperating, for the most part, for now. This whole experience has really showed me that Linux doesn’t “just work” for normal people though, and anyone who is adamant about that doesn’t understand the general populations capabilities.

Well I can’t get an iso off of their own website to work so… Cool?

I am an evangelist for these. I have a set of the aftershokz and I wear them like a watch, always on my head. I do a lot of work in different kinds of factories, forges, power plants, etc which are all places earplugs are required. No big deal with bone conducting headphones, I can listen to my podcasts while I work. A bonus too is the kind I ended up with can connect to two phones, so my work phone and personal phone don’t need two different headsets. The only downside is when I have to take a flight somwhere they aren’t really loud enough to fight the sound of the plane so you have to wear earplugs. But the upshot is people generally leave you alone if yer wearing earplugs which is nice. I grab handfuls of them from our customers anyways so it’s double not a big deal.

Oh shit thanks for the tip 🤔

Is it possible to get these pi’s for that price now though? Because I member 2 years ago looking at paying rediculous scalper pricing for a pi to run octoprint on, and by the grace of my brother having a spare one was able to avoid spending 150 bucks on scalper bullshit.

I too have come to evangelize for Bosch. Here’s a game you should play when you are looking at new model dishwashers. Pay attention to what the button layout looks like between brands. Then look inside at the racks and general hardware. You’ll start to notice that they are all essentially the same model with slightly different features, but wildly different prices. I swear they are all made in the same factories but one gets they maytag treatment and one gets the whirlpool. Then look at the Bosch and you should notice how weirdly different it is overall. My Bosch has been reliable as rain and has never gotten moldy or stinky or anything like that.

This, also their Android auto interface is atrocious.

Nuclear power in general.

I see this in a lot of places I do work:

Toolboxes covered in union stickers, AND Trump stickers…
