Sure, default GNOME is pretty barebones, most people use GNOME Tweaks as well for additional settings and some amount of extensions depending on your workflow.

In principle, i would have prefered that this was all built in, but practically, it works really well, for me at least.

Try running GNOME on it. It has pretty good touch support.

Well, a sewing needle, needle pins, some thread and a project.

Sewing kits are okay, but usually very low quality and with a lot of junk (looking at you, mini-foldable-scissor)

You can get lucky thrifting and get huge amounts of high quality thread for no money. You probably know someone who has a lot of sewing stuff who would love to hook you up.

Otherwise, just buy what you need for the project you are doing.

Use cotton thread for cotton fabric, poly thread for synthetics. Match the thread with the fabric.

If you mainly repair stuff, buying supplies will save more than you spend pretty quickly.

I have fucked up my computer so many times.

  • Accidentally uninstalled the graphical environment, because i didn't notice my package manager was asking me if i wanted to uninstall 200 packages, along with whatever i actually wanted to uninstall.
  • Tested a fork bomb (it worked!)
  • Installed a dual boot system incorrectly.
  • Installed a dual boot system correctly, but Windows had an update.
  • Tried to switch out a working component with Something Really Cool™
  • I have spent days troubleshooting an issue that turned out to be a simple syntax error.
  • And, while technically not fucking with the computer itself, this deserves a mention; Fucking up the wifi/network SO MANY TIMES.

I have also succeeded with some really cool stuff, but that's the thing about working with computers; you fail completely, until it works perfectly. This is of course a gross simplification, but it also has a lot of truth to it. There's just not a lot "this is not great, but it will do", it either functions or it fails (until you get it working and start fine tuning it for the rest of you life)

Just laugh at the absurdity of the situation when you realize you were just missing a comma in a JSON file, and don't let it bother you that you didn't notice before you paid to have your second floor covered in aluminium foil trying to fix the issue.

Try creating a VM in GNOME Boxes (if you use GNOME) or Virt-manager, take a snapshot, so you can easily repeat this process, and break it. Just make it stop functioning. Do it in an interesting way, and look up more ways on the internet.

Be curious, have fun and don't feel bad about getting sick of that stupid computer, you can come back later and it won't care that you even left.

Check out Blue Build for building custom Fedora Atomic images.

You create a GitHub repo using their helper website and use yaml. They even have some useful modules specific to desktops (that would have been a huge pain to do in Dockerfiles)

That actually sounds like a fun afternoon with Blue-Build.

You are probably looking for "scaling"

No, sadly not. Maybe it's implemented in Fish?

That was what I was expecting, without trying.

Maybe it's just the right Decky add-on away? I have used add-ons for enabling VPNs so this should be possible, if not done already.

  1. Can you connect to the same WiFi? If not, it's gonna be impractical to connect without a cable. The Steam Deck has pretty fast WiFi, so if it lags i would bet your router is the bottleneck.
  2. Civilization is mostly strategy, it's turn based so there's plenty of time to talk strategy, it takes some time to get a hang of the game but the beginning isn't too rough.

Potential energy just means the energy hasn't been "released" yet. That energy is still some "kind" of energy, so we're both right, a battery has potential chemical energy.

 

They're so full of potential

And I appreciate you saying that
