I was unprepared for this and now I need to clean the carpet.

Was the road ok?

Came here to say Julia Stiles but you totally beat me to it! I cannot stand any film she is in either. It’s really hard to describe, but your description is spot-on. It’s like an empty husk with makeup has been made to act.

PSA: My Starbook MK V has great specs but feels cheap and loses charge when closed, so it’s always empty when I need it.

(Tried all firmware updates and different distros, without success and their support isn’t of any help either. Won’t be ordering from them again.)

He looks like two badly parked Volkswagens! What a good boy!

Bazzite is stuffed full of polish, especially the Gnome variant and, little known to me at the time, they have a whole set of non-gaming-related tools in the background for developers who use containers (distrobox, podman etc), which is exactly what I use for my job.

I was so impressed that I have installed it as my main OS on my laptop and have replaced SteamOS with it on my SteamDeck.

This distro is one of the best I have used. It is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.

I don’t know if it fits your use-case but a little known feature is to use a second local drive/folder as a remote, like this:

D:
mkdir D:\git_repos\my_project.git
git init --bare D:\git_repos\my_project.git

C:
cd C:\path\to\your\project
git init
git remote add origin file:///D:/git_repos/my_project.git

This way, you can now push to origin and it will send your commits to your repo on your second drive.

The use case is more for server and linux-type operating systems but I bet there are some crazy folk who use it for their desktops. No idea!

I find this happens a lot on software like this and people kind of assume visitors know what all the buzzwords mean or are in the same bubble as the developers, which is a shame really as I assume it scares a lot of people off.

TLDR: it lets you automate installing an operating system and software, mainly used for servers.

Anyone using Ubuntu is one person less using windows. I call that a win. Everyone has to start somewhere!
