Personally, I don’t think there’s are any “best brands” per se as most of them are just cramming shit features like AI and spyware to please their shareholders. Now “best phones”? There are definitely some good ones out there like some Fairphones or others. I’m using a OnePlus Nord, and while I don’t like the company, the phone was affordable and had almost all the features I wanted. LineageOS flashed onto it solved the spyware issue as well.

You guys have a smell after you sneeze? I just feel pain throughout my body after them sometimes.

A monkey as in an ape or as in a metaphor? I would definitely vote for the former.

0.3 Hamburgers of course!

For me, the price listed is the price listed. If it’s $5, it’s $5. $8 is $8, etc.

This kind of ratio would just confuse me otherwise.

A KDE app that doesn’t start with K? Preposterous!

Linux for sure. There isn’t much else I could talk about for a while.

Killswitch Engage, mainly their 2002 and 2006 albums “Alive or Just Breathing” and “As Daylight Days”, respectively.

Aside from that, some of Timecop1983’s albums, mainly “Night Drive” (2018), “Faded Touch” (2021), and “Searching for Tomorrow” (2023).

You guys use lightbulbs?

Lawnchair. An improved Launcher3 that I use in place of Lineage’s built-in launcher.

I don’t really like text-only “simple” launchers as the icons help with quickly figuring out what app does what. Some of the features the AOSP Launcher3 lacks are present in Lawnchair/(mainly more customization over existing features).

Mouse-heavy games like Cities: Skylines, Sims 3, and other management games. Due to a chronic injury, I’m force to mainly play with a controller, and trying to play these games with a controller would be abysmal.

Reading some of these replies, it seems people are only focusing on half of the process of learning an instrument.

Its not just the instrument you need to learn, it’s how to read sheet music as well. Most likely, you’re not going to find the exact coords to play with the delay in between written as seconds for the song you want. Its going to be in the format of sheet music, with the notes and other symbols.

That takes time to learn, like learning a new language. It’s something you need to learn either before or while learning an instrument, and that is something that can put a lot of people off.

I’m sure we’ll have it by 2076 in time for a nuclear winter.

Anyone have names for all the distros in this list? I only know about half of them.

Probably Minecraft. Since the old launchers never recorded hours, I would estimate somewhere over 1,500 hours. I’ve been playing it since the very early release versions like 1.2.

Second would be Stardew Valley at ~594 hours on Steam. Including time I spent on a console (I don’t know the exact amount), somewhere around 700 hours. I discovered this game around 2017 while shopping at a local retail store and picked up an XBOX copy before I discovered it was on Steam. Definitely one of my best purchases of all time.

So far, Linux has been great for me for most common apps, however there are a few niche apps that don’t run natively on Linux and are borked under wine.

paint.net is the main issue currently as the devs have stated they won’t make any other ports, and the latest versions have a “Garbage” rating on WineHQ. There is Pinta, which is based off an older version, but it’s not good enough for my use cases.

So, for the time being, I’m stuck with using a Win10 VM with a shared folder to use paint.net.

(And before anyone asks: No, GIMP will not work for me. It lacks the tools and plugins I use frequently with paint.net)

Linux distro derivatives of existing Linux distros, such as an “Arch-based” or “Debian-based” distro.

E.g. EndeavourOS is an Arch-based distro (derivative of ArchLinux). Ubuntu is a Debian-based distro, etc.
