This is a popular opinion outside of Lemmy. You won't find many lowercase "l" libertarians here though.

How important is the Windows-style desktop? If the VM is designed for one thing and one thing only, I'd pick any minimal WM that can alt-tab, say JWM, and then just add Firefox and Thunderbird to the autostart file.

Having seen a total eclipse before, I know solar eclipses are in danger of being overhyped. IMO, they probably aren't worth driving across the country. But if all you need is a 3 to 5 hour drive to get to the path of totality, I think you should absolutely do it. They're legit. Not, like, life changing, but legit. Find a place with a few trees so you can watch the crescent shadows and maybe hear some wildlife freak out.

I'm shocked Lemmy has so many users. Feels like only a few thousand.

Minecraft. It desperately needs some QoL improvements for it to be anything but tedious.

I haven't updated my Arch install for almost 2 months. Things are going to be... seemless, probably. I do this all the time. It never breaks.

Typical Gnome user.

The earlier kill screen just happened today by Fractal. He got the single into level 155.

He also got the level 155 crash today. Second person to ever beat the game.

It isn't though, unless you can still upgrade from 7 without making a boot disk. But I'm pretty sure those days are long over.

Mint, and anything else that requires PPAs. Last time I distrohopped, I had a rule that if I couldn't install Librewolf in under a minute or two, it wasn't worth the trouble.

Mind you, this was before flatpaks were big, but I also own a potato and don't want to waste space on flatpaks.

Sometimes you can literally just go to the ~~youtube~~ invidious channel of a professor at a big name college, if it's the kind of topic where a lecture series alone can provide the education you're looking for.
