Old is one problem. Old and mentally disabled is a whole other problem. Plus who are you supposed to vote for here with that rule? We’ve got 2 realistic options.

But in general you’d be correct.

That seems obvious in retrospect. Oof. I’m not even a boomer. KDE tryna give me an existential crisis over mystery data. I guess I’ll try a reboot for tomorrow then and see what it thinks with one less problem. Or having one less excuse.

I knew UUIDs existed and used as an internal kinda name, I just didn’t know what they’d look like, so that actually makes sense.

Gparted want having a problem with udisks, the only mention of that was an error in Dolphin when trying to access the entry I had labeled for the drive as ‘main’. Then this generic name showed up and ‘main’ stopped working under that entry. Where is Dolphin getting the names of these labels if not the partition name?

The devices section has come back. Haven’t done anything to it other than leave the room for a few hours. Is there a way to manage settings for what shows up there?

I should have mentioned that, so I edited the post.

I’m on Pop at the moment, but using KDE instead of GNOME.

I trimmed out the part that wasn’t about the drives:

nvme0n1 //This is the 'Archive' drive with it's weird numbers and letters. I notice now with this output all the drives have it, but I'm not sure what it means │ └─nvme0n1p3 ext4 1.0 94e1fb1a-317a-4651-9861-32973dc35aa4 1.7T 0% /media/myuser/94e1fb1a-317a-4651-9861-32973dc35aa4 nvme1n1 //This is my main drive. │ ├─nvme1n1p1 │ vfat FAT32 5FD4-48C2 702.8M 31% /boot/efi ├─nvme1n1p2 │ vfat FAT32 5FD4-48B2 1.1G 73% /recovery ├─nvme1n1p3 │ crypto 2 407a229c-f6e7-4cb4-a3e5-4bc7a635f4ea │ └─cryptdata │ LVM2_m LVM2 AQolPx-kmD9-vQgW-1krZ-jbDM-UvAw-eihxFT │ └─data-root │ ext4 1.0 3a1ef062-2da2-407f-a6a9-51888413d5bc 1.2T 29% / └─nvme1n1p4 swap 1 e95a07b7-1657-4026-bb55-8b60d542e3cf └─cryptswap swap 1 cryptswap 58a986f0-7183-4ddf-a288-75902db90cc0 [SWAP] nvme2n1 //This is the 3rd drive I mentioned.

This code block did not format at all. Not sure what I did to break it. I just attached screenshot of it to make it more readable.

Never heard of that idea. Sounds like a slightly lazier way to do it, but I respect it. Could be easier for accessibility reasons I suppose.

Getting vertical tabs and hiding the original tab row is the only thing I have to mess with the userchrome file for myself, so this getting baked in will help me skip an extension setup and file edit every time I set it up on a new device. Or freshly setup device.

I voted for him last time. May be dumb, but I did believe in him more than Biden. I still don’t know if he could carry the party, but I’d love to watch him try.

The rubber didn’t agree well on my old case. I poked it a couple years ago trying to figure it what it might be and the little triangles has gotten stiff and snapped off on one side, so I stopped poking it.

I was today years old when I learned what they were for though. I knew it was some kind of tube or pipe or hose, but I’ve spent about 0.3 seconds actually thinking about it so I never figured it out.

I tried it when the first one I tried didn’t work out.

Ctrl+C hard locked it instantly every time I pushed it. I could right-click and choose “Copy”, but pushing Ctrl-C just froze whatever image was on screen. No response at all after that. Plus it was giving me a headache trying to get Nvidia drivers installed.

So then I moved to Pop since the correct driver was baked in, and it’s been mostly smooth since.

Bust a nut challenge. Difficulty- shot to hell if an attempt is even made

Homeopathy as a whole. It’s just modern hippies.

It’s the liquid version of the crazy crystal people.

I’m pretty be to it too, and it’s the first and only one I’ve used for more than a couple hours.

I dumped GNOME immediately, but haven’t really felt a need to change anything else and don’t really know what else I’d want to, at least not yet.

I got my stuff working, got colors and window decorations sorted out, and got gaming working.

Now I’m just vibing.

I have never owned a laptop. I was given an old Chromebook to tinker with, but it’s so old and incredibly slow that it’s just not easy to deal with.

I was handed a laptop that has some issues including a "sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t"keyboard and mostly fried GPU to the point where there are tons of tiny pink artifacts all over the screen. It technically still works, but hurts to look at. I was told it was mine, but other than some prodding to see what the issue was, (pretty sure there’s a bunch of dust caked in the GPU fan) I haven’t used it. So I guess I do actually own one, but I’ve only touched one a very few times ever.

I finished high school before dial up was completely out of style, and have only been exposed to “broadband” since college. (All 768Kbit of it)

I went to an in town college and mostly did my work on the gaming rig I built as my first computer, using their lab to print papers.

Laptops were sort of common, but still somewhat luxury at the time. Kinda like iPhones were at first. Lots of people already had a phone, but the “fancy” one was the status symbol even more than it is now.

Since then I’ve been rebuilding desktops ever since. I’ve had I think about 4 different cases now, each being upgraded with different parts a few times before moving on to the next as it fell apart. Some of my old machine parts are still in my parents’ computer now. At least I think it is. That machine has changed a few times too and I haven’t kept track because who cares.

So I’m right in the sweet spot of when phones became capable of laptop-like stuff, just as always having a computer available became more and more necessary. So since most people do most of their laptop stuff during school, and I never had a job that handed out company computers, I’ve just never really needed one.

I kinda wanna get one at some point, if for no other reason than to see the day to day of owning one and taking it places. But it’s just a curiosity at the moment.

I’m totally anti Windows now (recently as of building my most recent rig a few months ago), so I would have to pay attention to which one I get because I know there can be compatibility issues with them. I know there’s stuff like the Tuxedo brand which are all Linux all the time machines, but I don’t want to limit my choices, so research would be necessary for all that.

I just moved my parents off Windows (their machine was really struggling as it was assembled when Win was new) because I knew they wouldn’t be paying for extended security patches.

I type too much and I’m already past answering this lmao

Always has been. Chk chk

Shut em down. They deserve jail, suffering, and eternal torment.

That would save one step in setting up a new system. Tree Style Tabs doors not want to behave right by default I’ve always gotta use the profile customization. But if that could be native it’d be so nice.

Game is still having problems even when launched from Steam.

I cannot get Battle.net to launch with any regular Proton version or Experimental. I also can only get it running with GE after version 8-26. (only 3 versions, 8-26, 9-1, and 9-5)

But every version up to 9-5 has the gray screen for a couple seconds, then the game closes with no error message.

That never even occurred to me and I used to do this for non steam stuff all the time. I mean without the added learning curve of Linux but still.

I’m gonna try that as soon as it finishes patching. If that works it would be so amazing. Almost too simple to actually work.

Edit- It’s already working better than Lutris. It would have chunks of the UI just turn black sometimes. All the interactable bits would come back if I pointed the mouse at them, but there would be black squares and rectangles all over the place with Lutris and I just chalked it up to a weird quirk that forcing cross compatibility just brought up inherently. Never even questioned it.

I still blast it out every now and then. That and Banging on a Trash Can

That’s kinda nifty. I had no idea that was there.
