Yeah I’ve heard excel the hard one to replace if you need some special functions of it, idk tbh I’ve used excel like twice and basic stuff at that so LibreOffice works fine for me.

Lol I don’t even know what visualization means in this context, I’m definitely no help on this one! Sorry!

Hope so, it seems to be more common these days! I “recently” got a Framework16, which was my first dual ssd laptop (but unfortunately doesn’t meet your size requirements).

It has definitely improved in your absence.

But yeah I understand needing your programs to work. For some like Office you may be able to get away with a replacement like OpenOffice or LibreOffice, maybe not. Idk what PowerBi is but it sounds like a c/196 user’s uname lol, and from a cursory search it looks like Teams is supported with a .deb and a .rpm but I can’t attest personally.

I’d also recommend using a laptop with two SSDs if possible, one for linux and one for windows, to alleviate some of the headaches in dual booting.

Try steam/proton instead of Wine

ProtonDB says it runs well, but idk if that includes mods.

LOL in my defense I had just woken up and I guess I thought you lived in like Luxembourg or some shit.

Yeah fair that aforementioned work is in the next county over from me haha.

Maybe a lamp isn’t worth sending your husband to ‘certain death’ then. If you’re really that concerned about buying off FB marketplace just go to HomeGoods™ ffs, they’ve got lamps too.

Guess that is more of an indication of her priorities, “a possible chance at a discount on this mass produced lamp is worth the chance that my husband literally dies.”

“Hey, wife sent me, you have some ‘lamp’ I think?”

“Yeah wife sent me, she said this is the lamp.”

“Lol wives amirite?”

“Yeah lol, and right when I’m trying to watch the damn Hawks game today!”

“Oh Hawks fan huh? I want to watch that game too, wanna hit a sports bar and grab a few brews over it?”

“Yeah let’s go, got a B-Dubz down the road.”

End scene.

they live on the other side of the county and it’s going to take them an hour to get to our house.

Every now and again I’m reminded just how small some countries are, I drive 45min to work every day and I’m only one town over, meanwhile in 15 more minutes you can be on “the other side” of a whole country?

Meanwhile the trip across the US with no stops and traffic will take me 1d 19hr for 2,544 mi (4094.171 km) (according to openstreetmaps).

Edit: LOL I can’t read. It’s still true I suppose just not in this case haha.

Dude awesome! Good to know, thanks!

Put it on Soulseek once you rip it please! Others are likely looking as well!

Every so often I have to buy a DVD because it isn’t available online anywhere, and I always try to upload it somewhere as a community service when I do lol.

Idk I don’t know about & either (I know && but I’m guessing it’s different), but you can ctrl+z it, then use bg to run it in the background, then disown to divorce it from the terminal.

I’ll try firefox & when I get home and see what happens though, I’m assuming that’s what he meant.

LOL tbh I can see it, they look similar in those pics.

They’ve famously been seen in the same room together though, so there goes that theory.

Soap dispensers that only dispense for white hands.

IR was fine why the fuck do we have AI soap dispensers?! (Please for “Bob’s” sake tell me you made it up.)

(Goaded* sorry not trying to be a dick just trying to be helpful)

Try $30 and fuck painting. Old car better.

Sure but if they break, it’s a more expensive repair, one that I may be able to do myself whereas replacing a mirror or mirror housing isn’t that hard.

I want less computerization of cars, personally. Or at least a repairable, customizable, and FOSS system, if I have to have computers in my car.

I’d try and get my work to switch, but apparently Zebra thermal printers (of which we have so many) don’t work well with CUPS, you may be able to do some weird shit to make them work but iirc it wasn’t too viable for a large scale operation.

I’d wager a lot of companies do use things that just don’t work too well on linux yet, not that they couldn’t work it’s just that none of the people smarter than me who make linux happen have worked on it yet, and until they do it’s just what it is. Before we want to capture the enterprise market we need good easy to use thermal printing software, CNC software, laser etching software, stuff like that. It can be done too for at least most things I’m sure.

Yeah I’m sure I would do the full build, but also I’m definitely a weirdo and there’s no way any of the shit I use comes stock lol so it has been mainly the “additional software” and dependencies bit, and to be honest I had no clue how you guys did it but this post helped a lot, thanks!

I’m still kind of a linux noob is also the thing, I started my journey years ago, but only by booting into tails every so often, then eventually ~4y ago I installed Fedora, eventually got tired of gnome and when the framework 16s dropped I grabbed one and switched to FedoraKDE, and that’s it, I haven’t made the jump to a big boy distro that “isn’t recommended for beginners” but Slackware will be the one I try, because I was a SubGenius before I even installed linux.

Thanks! The “having to figure out dependency management” thing has been the largest roadblock in me trying out Slackware so far, but I really do want to try it.
