Yeah, I probably gave Bazzite less of a chance because I had so many issues installing it. I believe I had to wipe my other Linux partition to get it installed in the end.

Honestly, so far I have had no issues at all, I just run an update every now and then. I assume it’d be more difficult if this wasn’t a gaming-specific partition, as that means I haven’t installed much else.

It took me ages to get it installed as it couldn’t cope with my EFI (I have multiple boot partitions). I had issues getting games running once I had it installed, but I can’t remember what specifically those issues were as I spent longer fighting with Pop (WiFi driver issues).

I had a bad time getting Bazzite working and ended up switching to CachyOS, which I have been happy with.

I’m guessing “fuck with”? Not sure though

CachyOS

I’m moving at the moment. Linux Mint is a good stable Windows alternative, but I wanted to separate gaming from other things so I am dual booting. I have had luck with Pop_OS! before but recently had issues with a laptop WiFi adapter, had some issues getting Bazzite working, so ended up with CachyOS, which has been really slick and easy so far.

A nice thing with Linux is how easy it is to cycle through a few distros if you have your main files on a different drive or partition, since you don’t lose anything important when switching that way.

There are a few things about Kodi that might help:

1. There are themes thay completely change the UI, so it doesn’t have to be outdated. I use Arctic: Zephyr – Reloaded and it is much better, though I did change the noises to something else.
2. The Jellyfin plugin works pretty seamlessly if you set up the UI correctly. I only use Kodi for Jellyfin and it acts as if it’s all local files, other than the occasional syncing notice.

However, I feel you on Netflix, YouTube, etc. - it is not ideal. I ended up either logging into a separate partition or moving to a Chromecast for those things. I’d love an all-in-one solution but I haven’t managed to find one that I’d be happy with.

That sounds like a conspiracy theory. Insects are a more eco friendly source of protein than cattle, and cattle might become more expensive due to the effects global warming and the potential taxes that could be placed on emissions, but there are plenty of other protein sources and there isn’t some big plan.

The Origin Effects compressors are UK-based (not EU but not US) and very well liked. Where are you based? There may be smaller builders near you that cover your needs.

Great for turning off a device or several devices without having to unplug (e.g. if the sockets are behind a bookcase, this is much more convenient). Not a super common need but when it saves moving furniture it helps. Given that UK switches are tougher to plug in and unplug than most (due to safety features), I prefer using a switch. Also, the switches are cheap and give more options, so may as well!

I rely on one for a light where the switch broke and wasn’t easily replaceable, so being able to fall back on the mains switch meant I can keep using the light.

At least with Good Omens you can focus on Terry. This is grim.

Masturbation won’t do that, you should probably go to a doctor. Also, give a toy a go if it sounds fun!

iFixit released a video guide that might help https://youtu.be/pCVBnpyrn3g

If you or someone you know is handy with a soldering iron, there are replacement hall-effect sensor sticks available now. I am planning on swapping mine out with Gulikit ones because I am very stubborn about giving in to planned obsolescence (I 100% believe this is deliberate on Sony’s part).

The stars and planets, yes, but there is a lot of very diffuse gas that does collide

Fluorescent lighting 100%. Warm dimming LEDs behind a nice shade, on the other hand, can stay (preferably dimmed).

My personal idea/hope is that there is some other dimension of spacetime over which the big bang had directionality, emitting matter and antimatter across different poles, and that’s why. That’d also mean there’s an anti-universe, which is why I like the idea.

In terms of the galaxies, I believe there’s enough of an observable difference that I think we would be able to detect antimatter clusters, or similar, based on emission lines but I’m not 100% on that. Huge annihilation events from colliding galaxies and clusters would have massive energy signatures unlike anything else but the frequency of this would determine how likely it would be to see the evidence.
