It’s probably too basic, but Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke have always been my favorites, the latter of which was where I started.

I love this. Thank you for the recommendation!

Bluefin-dx is the more dev oriented version, and I think Bazzite has a -dx version as well. But I agree, I’m using Bluefin and love it for the containerization.

I’ve been wanting a Linux-based degoogled phone for a while now, and though it sorta exists if you happen to have the right phone model, it definitely isn’t ready for the everyday consumer. But if it’s something you really want to do, there are a few options out there. I’ve done the best I can from not using the google ecosystem at all beyond android, which is my last big hurtle.

Ugh, so what’s the alternative?

Dem President: Here’s my budget for the year and this is how much it would cost. Congress: We agree to pay for that. Dem President: Great, I need money to pay for things in the budget. Rep Congress: The president is irrationally spending money (on things we approved) we can’t possibly do that!

“If the democrats got a magic lamp and three wishes, they’d negotiate it down to one wish, and then use that to wish for something they think the republicans would want.”

Don’t they cry every time Dems are in office and try to raise the debt ceiling, which is in itself an unnecessary procedure.

Yeah, I thought the main devs were Latvian 🤔

The cruelty is the point with these people.

Yeah, I sometimes say USAian or United Statesian, but that obviously doesn’t flow. It exists in other languages, but not English.

Also, personal nitpick, I don’t love when the continent of America refers to both N and S America.

“But it’s one landmass!!1!” Yeah, so is AfroEurasia. Continents don’t actually have an agreed upon meaning, so… it’s just, like, my opinion man.

Yay Capitalist propaganda!

Someone else mentioned it, but another vote for Aurora-dx (-dx for the developer version). It’ll give you the KDE experience without having to worry about your underlying system, leaving you time to work on software dev in a containerized environment of your choosing. Arch is great if you want to customize and tinker with everything, but given your parameters, I think not worrying about that bit will make your life easier as you focus on what’s more important to you. As long as you reboot your computer from time to time, you’ll always have the latest version and can rollback easily if something goes wrong.

And as is tradition with Linux, it’s not like you have to use whatever you decide forever. Distro hopping is a time-honored tradition!

It’s not the exact same (a 1:1 replacement) but have you looked at Logseq as an alternative to Obsidian. It is open source and serves a lot of the same needs as a wiki-style editor, but may not be exactly what you need in Obsidian

There are dozens of us! But yeah, same.

I think Bazzite has a version that doesn’t start in game mode 🤔 Or use one of the sister versions if you don’t game often? Password on boot happens on both of mine, and coming back from sleep should be an option.

Not OP, but I’ve got Bazzite on my Steam Deck and Bluefin on my laptop as my daily. I’m rather loving the set it and forget it nature of it while still having plenty of room to play when I need to.

I just discovered bat and eza, which were already installed, along with fd though I haven’t played with that one yet. I’ve really liked the first two at least

No offense taken. We know we’re “a third sold country in a Gucci belt”. It’s not that it started 40 years ago, but that’s when it really took off, this speedrun to transferring wealth and power to the already wealthy. They purposely cut funding to education to make an easily manipulated populace, and have been using fear propaganda relentlessly for longer.

We also learned last time Trump was elected that most of our country was held together by gentlemen’s agreements and the idea that our constitution never considered irrational people would be elected.

Our system is broken, and the ones with the power to do anything about it have no interest in doing so.

I honestly don’t know how we recover from this. Stopping Trump is a bandaid. Rooting out the cancer… 🤷🏼‍♂️
