I wasn't able to find one. Which, if anyone saw my shitpost, is the real reason I installed it on my crapbook. I found out that the installer is pretty great, it just worked out of the box (at least on that computer, my gaming machine has an Nvidia graphics card...), and that GMOME isn't really for me.

Jesse "the Body" Ventura. Let's go full Senior Citizens Wrestling League with this.

COSMIC looks awesome in screenshots though.

In general, I agree with you. But specifically Isaac Newton? The only thing his dick might have been in was a coconut.

This just unlocked one of my weirdest childhood memories. I played fastpitch softball as a kid, and at one away game the school's softball field was next to a pasture. During warmups and the first several innings, we watched a guy dig a hole in the pasture. In the second inning or so, we hear a gunshot off in the distance, and the third has a truck dragging a horse corpse to the big hole. The man shoved the horse corpse into the grave, and takes three innings to bury the horse.

At the team huddle after the game, one of my teammates said an eulogy for the horse.

In the early 2000s my mother's bank got hands free headsets. She was horrified at how many of her coworkers would answer the phone in the bathroom.

My brother was assigned that in school and we had it in the RV on a camping trip, so I picked it up and read it one evening. Both the info on citrus growing, and the violence, are things I still remember. Fucked up.

Was it assigned reading? Where did you go to school? I've always wondered if that book made it into reading lists anywhere outside of Florida.

Wait, what? I can eat Jell-O again?

Oh. Wait. It's Jell-O. Meh.

Wait, how is this the first time I've seen Gadget Hackwrench mentioned on Lemmy? Like half the people on here are furries.

Public, profit-motivated veneers of support are at least not public displays of homophobia.

Have you seen Target's pride month collection this year? I'd say that it counts as a public display of homophobia, it's so bad. (Also they aren't crediting their few artists this year.)

Funny enough, I stopped mixing up my left and right after I broke my arm roller blading (on another occasion I broke my arm while biking). I didn't have a way to mentally keep track until the doctor set the arm slightly off with the bone bowing out a bit - it feels slightly different now, but visually you can't tell.

The pan flag is pink yellow and cyan, the trans flag is pink white and blue.

I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I'm a writer and it's a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it's got Windows and it's unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it's been a few years and it seems like Xubuntu is no longer trying to be a lightweight distro for use cases like this.

My experience with Linux is very limited - I played around with Peppermint Linux a bit back when it was a Lubuntu fork and I used Ubuntu on the lab computers in college. I can follow instructions to make a live boot and I can do an apt-get (so something Debian-based might be best for compatibility and familiarity) but I mostly have no idea what I'm doing, lol. I used to do DOS gaming as a kid so having to do the occasional thing via command line isn't going to scare me off but I'm not going to pretend to have knowledge I don't. I'm probably going to go with Mint on my gaming laptop next year but I suspect it's not the best choice for my blue bezeled potato (although I might try it anyway).
