I swear if someone looks at Nova and simply went "yeah let's replicate its functionality 1:1", it would become number one in no time

Could also be a joke on how there was a single XP serial number used by nearly everyone that got it from, uhh, non-official sources. FCKGW FTW.

Omg thanks for asking this, and thanks to the people that responded. I sincerely went through other alternatives around 5 years ago, and none of them were close to Nova in terms of folder customisation. I'm glad the landscape had changed quite a bit!

Not as much of a gimme

Huh. I'm not American and not exactly well versed in pop culture; but when Kamala started making the news on TV, I told my partner, "wasn't she in The Good Place?"

I feel so vindicated right now.

No. This does not need a 13-minute video.

  • Don't plug in ethernet if you're using one.
  • At the wifi setup stage press shift-F10
  • Type oobe\bypassnro
  • Reboot. Proceed as normal.

There, saved you 13 minutes

It's mostly a game of chance.

Grossly oversimplified: Say you have black eyes, but carry a blue-eye gene (which doesn't show because black is dominant). There's a very good chance your sibling carries the same gene. If the two of you have a child together, there's a higher chance that the kid will carry double blue genes and has blue eyes.

Had you had the kid with another black eyed person that's not a sibling, there's a higher chance that they may carry different genres (black, grey, brown, green eyes). So much lower chance of having a blue-eyed kid.

Imagine the same but with all sorts of physical and mental defects. They may not show in you, but if you carry the genes, there's a good chance your sibling does too. Hence the higher chance of it showing up in your kids.

Even if the trait doesn't show in your kids, over generations of inbreeding practice (common in old royal families) the bad genes would be so concentrated in the pool that so many defects will start showing up.

No doubt, indeed. Just pointing out 400 is not unreasonable for xfce.

My xubuntu is at 380MB idling on the desktop. Also, thanks for making me check. I should probably disable snapd.
