How's PopOS compare to regular desktop distros like Debian/Ubuntu and the like?

System76 is something that interests me a lot.

I am tempted, very tempted. Especially the new DE they are cooking up to replace GNOME desktop.

Leave the horse, get a Chevrolet corvette, a stingray if possible.

@mostr4am no, but we might next year :-)

@Wisecrack in Normandy, France? That's as unlikely as storm surfing in thé mediterranean sea. (Unless your name is Brice de Nice.)

Of course, it's just 32 GB RAM, that's soooo 2010's...

Nice quads, checked.

Well, it could also refer to dick van dyke...

@Alice I remember those. Sadly something called COVID came along and destroyed whatever was left of social energy.

@spoiledgoods you would be surprised how many are being memewashed by that narrative.

@jestdotty I believe it is possible, when I look at that shitshow so called communities like alt-right and MAGA and the like... Then yes, reverence of error is possible.

Aw man, I feel ya. Git, or anything for that matter, under Windows is a p.o.s.

Sabayon is literally a wannabe dessert that's made of mostly air and bland taste. Hmmm, fits the description of the distro quite nicely.

The movie "American psycho" has a similar effect. It still baffles me that youngsters that have never seen the movie Revere Patrick Bateman as the archetype of success, which is utterly poetic.

The freelance fallacy is this: thinking you will have made it in the first year.

It actually takes at least 4 years to have a reasonable balance and have some financial buffer in the event contracts are over.

As a freelancer for almost 8 years, it will get better. Be patient, work, pay your taxes and social security, save and in a few years all will be a lot better.

Also don't bottom out in rate,ask what you would pay yourself for your quality of work.

It must suck donkey balls out there.
What to tell you? Sounds to me you don't get the respect you deserve, so "negotiate new terms and conditions" that satisfy you.
If they ask "what do you want?" You can either lay down your terms or you can reply "make me an offer I cannot refuse, so make it count!"

As others said, liquor is le bad, but I'm sure you won't allow yourself to get brought down by just that.

Welcome!

@darksideofyay I wish you the courage to pursue a better, different future or the patience to remain and improve where you are.

@b2plane you need shellcheck in your life.

@Lensflare perhaps because of the incorrect framing, being a bit tilted.

But yes, it is devoid of human presence as far as you can see, just you and nature as it is, as it should be.

@jestdotty now that is a greentext worth saving.

@atheist good for you! Let's hope admin gets through and you get what they promised you. Otherwise, byebye.

Cat needs to get out, mating season.

We want updates!

Wow, just, wow.

@Chewbanacas but in this cas, owning your own servers is in fact cost efficiënt, that is, if you invest time in tuning them and be happy with what you got.

Congratulations! May you teach the next wave of techies the trade at its best.

@Wisecrack is a person of culture, black books - the British tv series - is the tits.

Well, that's why virtual environments are for. Saves you from messing with system python.

Sounds tough and depressing and that sucks, feel ya. Sending hugs and thoughts. Hope it turns around soon.
