Thank you! That is a shame. I actually looked at PineTab…although very excited that we are finally have organizations willing to work on free hardware as well, right now, Pine just doesn’t offer options with the resources I want. I made this long without a tablet, maybe just wait for Pine to get more developed and then circle back

Question: Forgive me if this is dumb, I am old! I know you were referring to the PinePhone in your article, but if these are Arm distros, can I install them on an android tablet? I am looking to purchase a tablet(cheaper side, a little above a budget model), but want to use real Linux.

agreed, if by west, we mean governments. Just as anywhere people are more than that.

The US can be worse than Russia…but that doesn’t make Russia good.

late to the game… but you got upvoted(Im shocked)! Simply put…the US and Russia can oppose each other and still both be bad!!!

My local elementary school had this poem on a plaque in front…Robert Frost Elementary… unfortunately my parents wouldn’t allow me to attend public school.

I will have to look into this person…i thought i wasnt a poetry guy…but that poem really touched me.

Did you write that? I currently live in the Caribbean, but am from the NE US…this poem is exactly how I feel often.

I really enjoyed reading it…whether yours or not, thank you for sharing.

Sorry for your loss. Also, that was wonderful for me to read. Glad you had a such a great brother.

Yes, I can see that is HDD

Really?

Holy crap! I can totally do that. Looks like i made up my mind.

I will…there is already 4, so i thought…add 12!

This should be interesting. I will check the link…i still have to order the memory.

I couldn’t buy an 8 and a 4 to make 16 with the 4 already there? I’ve never done this before, but the machine was cheap…so i figure why not learn something?

US has a higher incarceration rate then any developed country. And…most of those jailed are poor and committed non violent crimes…just to add to your statement.

Honest question…did USSR fail because communism is bad…or did a very influential, wealthy and powerful country go out of it’s way to make sure the USSR failed and then say…“look, it didn’t work for them!” Or did it fail because the USSR lost its way, or, just maybe if failed due to a combination of both.

Food for thought.

I bought frozen tilapia at Econo this morning…he’s coming at 3pm (AST)…and it’s not “ah well” more correct: it’s wonderful to share weather it be code or recipes…my friend will probably make some changes, but like good free software people…i will share our adjustments with you.

I made a local friend…he’s coming over tonight and will use your recipe but add Puerto Rican flavor to it!

So…i guess I’m cheating cause I’m not gonna actually cook!

So…i don’t want to be a downer…i just read a study that said deli meats are JUST AS carcinogenic as smoking!

Ps…i love cigarettes and processed meats …uh oh :(

Hehe! I understand this!

Keep trying! My current euphoria is lasting multiple days and I’m gonna work to keep it going. It’s easy to focus on negatives (i know all too well) but…i want to take advantage of my current state and start a late 2022 resolution to maintain happiness!

Exactly! But we have to try and let go of the bad moments and not allow those to dictate the rest of our day.

Feel better soon please…and thank you for maintaining positivity through your struggles.

Sometimes that’s good enough :)

Get better soon!

Can make it healthier with good bread and add grilled veggies.

If i remember, I’ll tell you on Monday. This is my day off plan. I’m a terrible cook!

I’m trying this out.

While not completely socialists, countries like Sweeden pay very high taxes and seem to be happy about it as they dont have to worry and plan for the next catastrophe that may or may not arise.

I have heard discusions where people talk how their pay is less then those of us in the US, but they can spend more. That sounds good to me.

I use yewtu.be and never get asked for age as i do in YouTube.

It really depends on the distro. I started with Fedora 26 back in 2017 and it was all clicking through graphical interfaces. Even to make the USB iso. As someone who was as non-techie AND older, i am always baffled at where people have difficulties.

Agreed

No worries. I have seen surprisingly few of these types of posts, so you’re currently doing something better then other alternatives and I appreciate your efforts to make things even better.

Rolling distros are unstable by definition - they change regularly. You are confusing (as many do) stability with reliability.

I think Fedora is just as user friendly, but better than Ubuntu. But, yeah, I know Ubuntu is popular ( I just don’t like it).

is that a bad thing? Asking as someone learning BASH

I was just gonna say!

I do my best…but it is really hard when it seems google or Amazon owns most of the web servers.

I guess I could just fire up Alma in VMware and check for myself. But it is nice hear outside input too.

Do you think there is a difference between AlmaLinux and Rocky? I’m asking of honest curiousity as already changed to Rocky, but could be open to changing to Alma if warranted.
