  • Same, my dad is a hunter and I believe the person above is confusing trophy hunters with just hunters. While my dad hunts, I don’t believe I could do the same. It’s just not in me, but I have all due respect for them. Many revere nature, love animals, and hunting is an ancestral activity that pre-dates history.

    Some hunters are dicks. But that doesn’t mean hunting predators is a dick move. You can hunt bears responsibly, using the meat and the rest.

    It’s really weird to think that predator meat is somehow different from prey meat. Food all boils down to chemistry and it all ends up the same after digestion. The only difference is the microbes involved in the process, but those don’t carry on into the meat. Only prions and parasites pass into the meat, and that happens basically no matter where you are on the food chain.

    Pfft, your depth of insight could be scratched off with a fingernail.

    It’s every person and institution that shielded the voters from the reality of Biden’s mental decline who should be blamed. These enablers ought to be charged with crimes against the US for election interference.

    We could have had a real primary and let voters decide, now we’re stuck with a convention nomination process that’s out of our hands.

    Fuck the DNC.

    I hear a lot about those distros around here. I recently settled on openSUSE Tumbleweed after having used Fedora and ZorinOS for a while. It’s so good, I haven’t thought about switching to anything else. Manjaro, Pop_os, and NixOS are on my list if that ever changes.

    I like AppImage a lot and I wonder why that didn’t take off like Flatpak did. A timing issue, perhaps?

    Yeah AppX is a different kind of application platform that was built to be secure. Breaking that security breaks functionality. What’s lame is that they don’t have mechanisms to allow you to change permissions at a granular level and then change them back to defaults. You have to hack it and deal with the consequences which is just bad design.

    Appx is locked down tight on purpose. It’s built to be a more secure application platform than exe.

    Not saying it’s right and you should have to deal, but that’s why.

    Editing to say I also went Linux last year and I love it far too much to ever go back to Windows. Flatpaks are similar to AppX but at least you can customize the permissions for them. Still I find them to be a bit of a pain to use for some apps.

    Run a PowerShell session as admin and enter the following commands:

    Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object { $_.PackageName -match “OneDrive” } | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -AllUsers

    Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Where-Object { $_.Name -match “OneDrive” } | Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

    Might be easier to do this in PowerShell ISE so you can edit these two commands. But this will first remove the installer package for OneDrive so that it can’t reinstall again, and then it removes the installed app from all profiles.

    I haven’t personally tested this, but I use PowerShell professionally and the commands are solid. If it didn’t work then it just means that Microsoft packaged OneDrive in a different manner than the other built-in apps. You can also remove other annoying apps that are pre-loaded this way. Just swap out “OneDrive” for the proper name or partial proper name of the appx app. Use Get-AppxPackage by itself to learn what the proper names are for the apps that are installed.

    Same here. I think my friends have been expecting me to come crawling back to Windows but not only have I since used the SSD for other Linux projects, I have had no desire to go back to Windows. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE has been a true delight to use and learn Linux with. I smile every time the desktop loads. I use three monitors and KDE handles windows better than Windows ever could. It does it with far more customization options and its features just make sense and feel really useful, all without being forced.

    Oh, and all my games run with higher FPS than they did with Windows 11.

    I have had to reinstall it twice due to my learning process, but the last reinstall was a while ago and I’ve since learned how to fix problems that I create or the very rare update issues. It’s a very different beast when you’re coming from a lifelong use of Windows.




  • I wanted to like it and I tried it over and over but I could not for the life of me get opensuse aeon or kalpa to work on my desktop when tumbleweed works perfectly. As soon as I installed the Nvidia drivers it went belly up and I couldn’t find help online.

    I’m still new to Linux so I’ll accept that I need more experience but I can’t help but feel like a degree in computer science is a recommended prereq for this stuff since there just doesn’t seem to be solid documentation to get you through it.

    That experience made me take microos off my server and put in proxmox instead.
