  • Hey! Gears changed by jamming a galvanized square steel pole into the floor is WAY more optimal than having a gear stick. Reduces weight, I may change gears often, but it’s not EVERY time.

    (I do have the gear stick on anyways in case I forget how to use the steel pole properly, but that’s not the point!)















  • That seems like a really cool idea. I hope someone makes an operating system for home servers, or servers in general for just that.

    Tho, I feel like it would be kinda niche for anything else unless the popular things get so bad that people who research find about it and try to use it for daily drivers.

    It would take a really long while for it to get adopted en masse, but would be a cool project idea.

    I’ll write that down, thanks! :D


  • I kinda have the reverse problem.

    I started with arch and when I was making a beginner friendly linux laptop for my parents, I chose Mint and later switched to Zorin, and wanted to make everything as windows like as possible.

    My problem that I felt like wrestling and constantly having to look what is in my system etc etc. Felt really frustrating and like I knew way less than I thought.

    So IMO, distro hoppers are way more knowledgeable than many Arch users, merely from knowing how to wrestle with the system, where in contrast, all I do is install what I want and when I want to do something, I already know exactly and precisely what to look into.
