I'm always shocked that other distros haven't made their own version of Yast from opensuse
I'd have £120, but it would mean i can pay my water bill today.
Org mode changed my fucking life! I looked into using emacs as a simple markdown editor when I was doing a creative writing course and discovered org mode. 4 years later and I never leave emacs, everything is done through emacs and org mode. I even use it as my window manager (exwm). I bought an old chromebook to turn into an emacs machine and it's so good. It's an operating system and I don't like using a computer without it.
Some things for you to look into that I now can't live without:
Elfeed
Org-capture and capture templates
Dired
EXWM
Syncthing (not a part of emacs but means I don't have to use closed source cloud backups)
I passionately love emacs. At first I thought all they shortcuts and keybindings were a bit insane but they are second nature to me at this point. Emacs has also saved me lots of money that I would have spent on silly writing apps and aids.
That was insane, I was in equal parts cringing and laughing my arse off.
I knew La'an would be amazing. I was also very excited when I realised Kirk would be involved.
The singing of the intro should be permanent.
I turned one into an Emacs machine, it was £20 and I fucking love it. It's built like a tank too. It's a dell Chromebook 11.
It's just what you're used to. To me fedora seems weird and I don't know why people choose it over opensuse. To me opensuse feels like home.
Also yast is great and I don't get why more distros don't have a similar thing.
Mandrake 7 was the first one I installed on my pc. In those days you could buy a boxed version with about 10 cds to install from.
When I was about 9 my family went to the jorvik viking center in York. They had a ride thingy where you could be driven around a realistic viking settlement and whatever the fuck they used to make the realistic smells of smelly vikings and pig shit really fucked me up. No one else was that bothered but I couldn't eat properly for days.
I'm guessing whatever chemical they used really didn't sit well with me. It must have had a pretty extreme effect because that was 31 years ago and it was the first thing that popped in my mind when I saw this question.
I like it, it's an Ubuntu lts with a nice theme (I wish it had grey instead of just black and white though), wine integration to run compatible windows software and it's always just worked for me.
I don't like the fact that some things are locked out unless you pay for the pro version but I think that's just layouts and stuff.
I'd say it's good but like all of these Ubuntu derivatives you're almost always better off just using Ubuntu. Even people changing from windows to Linux, I'd still just tell them to use Ubuntu.
I swear people that don't watch trek think it's just about lasers and technobabble.
I know people that refused to watch Discovery because 'they made it all woke and now it's all about women'.
This year I discovered Norm Macdonald and I think he's now my favourite.
Theo Vonn is also hilarious, not so much his stand up but in podcasts and general conversation.
Bill Burr is great too.
