I thought it was going to pull goldbat inside out. 😅

I don’t know if you’re layering on another pun here…

I missed the initial pun 😅 I was a bit slow to get it.

And the docx or pptx can be checked for formatting errors in the online MS (images in tables may not be anchored as a character for example).

It also had lots of fun facts to boot, including statistics about broccoli.

Not surprised, it was a bit of a niche project that was quite hard to get into (the options took a bit of reading around to understand what they were on about). It is easy enough to find the flavour of UI you want and more from the arch distros out there (I just found I actually do need cups on my EndeavourOS gnome distro and that’s something I didn’t toggle (printing). Time to throw in some cups and foomatic packages in there). So again, it’s about purpose and as much as I would have liked to have gotten into something about customisation, I’ve kind of already got a minimal-ish distro to work on.

Brave is a fairly recent outlier, and while it isn’t quite proprietary, it stinks a fair bit of something capitalist/crypto.

Are you asking for Sanskrit? Why not fcitx5.

Nortan Antivirus 😂

I run Arch EndeavourOS on an old ThinkPad Yoga and it’s good. Fingerprint devices unfortunately seem to be heavily suppressed in Linux by whatever proprietary or encrypted firmware trash is going on, but those devices are not really important.

I also said pp out aloud and chuckled like a little boy.

I know the feeling that it seems to be duct taped together (makes sense since there’s thousands of developers working independently and collaboratively, unlike under Microsoft or Apple) and it sometimes infuriates me how each and every distribution has their easy install points, and yet confound certain other points.

For instance I want a Chinese IME? Fedora will get that done in a minute, but Arch varying results from install from terminal of fcitx and adding lines to a config. On the other hand Arch AUR has optimised software and mirrors for my region of the world.

Don’t know if you tried Gnome but I love it for some reason, maybe because it’s so different and customisable via extensions. So yeah, enjoy the ride!

Fedora, so most Gnome based distros. KDE as commented beside me. Arch-based EndeavourOS.

As always, first impressions count. There is no way I’m starting to call it engine x now, except for fun.

Loads of fingerprint readers are not useable in Linux either, thanks Synaptics, and Co!

Mind isn’t self. Those thoughts eh…

Where TF did my entire family go??

Didn’t they go secular because freemasonry is essentially gnostic and sees all religion as tending towards the divine realisation?

I feel like the most important thing to take away here is to not feel pushed to have a social life. One city I lived in I had one friend I really considered a friend and the rest were mostly in the background (though fun to hang out with time to time).

For me a social life is enough if I find a single person who is capable of listening and rolls with bouncing ideas off each other.

May or may not apply to OP but zero social life sounds like they’re an introvert.

Yep, inspect is normally £20-£40, they give you the cost of repair and it stays at that cost. If they discover yet another problem, they don’t force you to undergo the repair.

It is permitted for non-certified (MOT) cars to go to and from a mechanic so you can space out repairs over a month or more if needed.
