  • Just in case you don’t know, you can use those Microsoft services no problem in Linux through a web browser. You can also “install” them since they’re PWAs and integrate them with your system notifications.

    There’s also Thunderbird from Mozilla, and the open source fork Betterbird that has a far more modern appearance and options. That will work easily with your existing Microsoft email.

    I’m by no means encouraging that you stay on Microsoft, but moving to Linux AND changing providers for important stuff like email and calendar might be a lot all at once.



  • We need to build special roads so self driving cars can navigate properly.

    You could even connect self driving cars together, by letting the front car pull them the others could save their batteries.

    And with these “trains” of self driving cars pulling each other, you wouldn’t have to build the self driving car roads very wide, they could just run on narrow “tracks” for the wheels.

    Then we’d have more space for human stuff instead of car stuff like roads and parking lots everywhere.

    He’s done it again. Elon Musk is a god damn genius.


  • America makes a lot more sense when you think of it as a corporation with nukes rather than a country with functional government.

    I’m not sure when or how it happened, but Americans seem to have decided that everything has to be privately owned for profit, and making those private services into government services (health care for example) it’s “socialism” and people would rather pay 5x as much for less care than our European cousins get with their taxes by default.








  • I don’t really distro hop much (you need a rolling release distro and a stable distro, never needed more) but if you’re asking I’ll assume you’re a Linux newb so really I would recommend doing something less custom. If you want Fedora and KDE, install the Fedora ISO that comes with KDE and be done.

    I won’t say it’s incredibly complex to run multiple desktop environments, but it’s definitely more of a pain and can cause weird issues (fucking NetworkManager) Better to stick to the “happy path” and make your machine as standard as possible so it’s more compatible with everything, especially if you’re new to Linux
