I mean, I get where they are coming from. Like nobody is stopping you from traveling across your country/as far as you can go without a passport. "Anyone" physically fit to do so can quit their job, lose their home and walk. You can try to catch and cook your own food. Or scavenge and beg. You can see sights and explore nature for free.

All that being said, that's obviously not the type of traveling people want to do. It works if you're already broke and young and fit (and in some countries, not a minority), but if you want to keep your job and go other places quickly, that shits expensive and the OP knows this and is just being pedantic by saying all you need is courage.

Yeah the difference is I don't have to deal with hair outside of the shower :) It used to get in my face, I had to cut it, I'd have to get it just right when putting headphones on, and it would look weird after taking off a hat. To be fair, it was more than a couple inches long.

This is true, but I do that with an electric razor in the shower. It takes just a few minutes and I'm nice and warm and cozy in hot water while I do it. And if I skip a few days, it doesn't matter (unless you don't like the look of a little fuzz)

I did it last year and it was so worth it. I'm not close to having a receding hairline or anything. I just said "fuck washing and styling hair" and now I have a chrome dome and I love it.

As an avid Linux user, because they suck.

Real answer: they're just not ready yet. There are very few 3rd party apps for them. If a business you use asks you to use their app and you tell them you have a Linux phone they'll just give you a blank stare. I need apps for banking, 2fa, and certain other mobile-only functions. It's just not universal enough for many people. Not only that, but they still need some time in the oven to get rid of bugs and develop basic smartphone functionality.

Weird, jellyfin always seems to have it.

It comes for us all. Embrace the chrome dome and never have to wash or style your hair again. It's so freeing.

It is a Ford e-transit. Huge white empty sides. I enjoy the plainness of it, but am open to putting something interesting on the sides/back.

I will implement my favorite idea without fail.

It's for transporting my disabled mother around, but also for personal use. (I am too tall for normal cars so this will be my only vehicle)

Edit: There are so many good suggestions. My current favorites are some sort of grand fantasy mural or the mystery machine (possibly with mystery replaced with my last name that also starts with an m and has the same amount of letters), or that 90's jazz pattern.

What happens if you write GNU since that's a recursive acronym?

Unironically, Jesus was radical left in many ways. Many Christians do not like to confront those aspects of the bible.

Let criminals into your home. Give them shelter and food. Give all of your money to charity. If someone harms you, turn the other cheek. Feed the poor before yourself. Brutally whip greedy wealthy people. Those are just some fun examples.

Also, it's possible to be priveliged and also understand and sympathize with the problems of other people.

I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn't want chocolate).

Not a single child came. I didn't see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.

The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.

Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.

How was everyone else's Halloween?

Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED "trick or treat" sign we hung on the porch.

Edit: Tumbleweed and bazzite are currently the most attractive options based on what I've learned from the comments. I will trial run those and 1 or 2 others.

I am currently on Pop OS.

I am dissatisfied with the DE/UI and I've been playing with others but half the point of this distro is it's custom UI. So I figured I would try another. I have several criteria that may narrow it down.

  1. I am going to use KDE or KDE Plasma (preferred). This is the only non-negotiable criteria.

  2. I will be gaming. This means I would like relatively up to date kernel and software. Rolling or semi-rolling releases are preferred.

2.5. I also work from this pc. This mainly entails using discord and Firefox though so no special requirements. I do have 4 different sized monitors with 3 different refresh rates that I use for work. Only one for gaming. One is vertical. I can tell I'm pushing x to its limits with that setup.

  1. I would prefer Debian-based as that is what I'm used to and because .deb packages are so common.

  2. I don't want it to be a ton of effort to set up. Pop OS worked out of the box with my Nvidia GPU and all other hardware. I am willing to put in some effort though.

  3. I have been using and very much like apt and flatpak. This is not a requirement, just an observation.

  4. Wayland is neat

  5. Active community with lots of support to search through. Pop OS has been good for this as it's Ubuntu based and has its own great community.

Ultimately I want an easy to use desktop OS that uses some sort of KDE, supports up to date packages and drivers, supports most games and isn't a pain to maintain.

Here are some contenders that fit at least some of my requirements.

KDE Neon user edition

Opensuse tumbleweed

Kubuntu

Endeavor OS

Debian

Manjaro

Bazzite

Mint Debian edition

Right now I'm leaning toward KDE Neon, Kubuntu, or Debian (whatever the rolling release version is), but the others all have their draws. I've heard the aur is great but I have come across several applications only available in website downloads of Deb packages so I'm hesitant.

I have been using pop as my first desktop distro after Windows and I've enjoyed it a lot. I barely run into anything I can't solve with some effort and headache and not a single game I can't play. I'd like to keep it that way.

Now that that's out of the way, does anyone have suggestions? Am I looking in the wrong direction? Am I asking the wrong questions? Should I just install arch, live in the terminal, and throw away my mouse? /s

Thank you all for your advice in advance.

I am bad at the game, and I often fly my ships too fast towards a space station and can't stop in time. I've never heard that warning and NOT blown up seconds afterwards.
