  • When the update process feel so perilous that I pray every time that my system reboots to the desktop safely, because the pain of troubleshooting the issue for 4 or more hours still haunts me (Nobara linux).

    And I’m not new to linux, but because it works as expected 95% of the time, that 5% where it doesn’t work stands out so much more.

    I recently experienced a failed update on my laptop running arch, where the laptop lost power for some unknown reason, and bricked my system. I was so tired of this shit that I just downloaded cachy OS and wiped the disk, installed the OS and called it a day.

    I know not everything is the fault of linux, but man . . . . There’s too many small problems to count . . . The fragmentation of application UI frameworks, GNOME this, QT that, GTK there, wlroots here, wxWidgets over there . . . . KWin randomly crashing, scripts that should just be a part of the WM instead of breaking with every update, lack of standardization of UI menu structures, wayland being great but still not good enough for production environments, THE UTTER LACK OF VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS FOR AUDIO PRODUCTION ON LINUX, WHYYYYYYYYYYYY




  • I definitely already knew 1 tab is not a specific quantity, but since I don’t own thousands of dollars of chemical equipment, I never had the things needed to measure said tabs. I did, at least, have reagent tests to at least verify the subtance present on the paper, but not much else.

    But in my experience, I’ve never overreacted to 1 tab, so with a tab being anywhere from maybe 50 to 150 micrograms, that’s roughly how much I can handle before basically blacking out. It’s only happened twice and both times ended peacefully. It’s not a constant thing I use, in fact, I haven’t touched any drugs in many years. That’s the main thing I love about psychedelic substances, they don’t have the addictive qualities of things like MDMA or alcohol. But I may trip maybe 1 time this year, or not.

    I have never really ever used bash and thought, "Man, I wish my shell was better . . . ". Using ctrl+r to recall past commands, using sudo !! to fix missing permissions and writing small bash scripts all work very well.

    That being said, if you use anything else, and you like it, I’m happy for you, but I do wonder, what leads people to other shells? What problems do they have with bash?
