I feel your pain. That was my biggest issue when I switched. Initially I switched to popos and after a month I could never get them working quite right. Eventually I changed to endeavor os and suddenly all the guides on how to mount drives actually worked.

The times I was living in an apartment complex were worse by far than living in a house. Because having neighbors that share walls is always worse. Made even worse if you work night shift.

I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to bike up a snow covered road at a 30 degree incline but I certainly don’t want to try it. Last winter me and half my neighborhood couldn’t drive up the only entrance road for several days after a heavy afternoon snow.

If parking and transit from the periphery of a city into the core actually existed and were usable then I’d like that but that’s not the world we live in now. One of my biggest gripes when traveling to a new city is trying to find parking for any of the big tourist locations. More often than not there is very limited street parking and no parking garages for several miles, nor any obvious transit locations. I often ended up just not going to the place I wanted to see because I can’t find a good way to get there.

I don’t mind walking a couple blocks to go somewhere. I do mind having to walk 30 minutes to see the one shop or restaurant I was interested in.

If you don’t already live in the heart of a big city they absolutely suck to get around in. Even more so lately with the advent of apps for parking or transit that you have to sign up for beforehand and that don’t have cash or card readers for non locals. I absolutely LOATHE creating accounts for more garbage apps and services I need to use a single time.

According to Google maps the nearest grocery store is 34 minutes away by bike with a 600ft elevation change, almost all of which is in my neighborhood. Going to work would be an 80 minute ride with 950ft of elevation change. I also live where it snows in the winter and my neighborhood sometimes doesn’t get plowed at all. Furthermore even if I wanted to ride a bike I would have to get onto a highway to get anywhere.

There is no public transit near me. None. At all.

Stop pretending that everyone should just live in a dense city and be happy with 30 neighbors.

He skips over the extremely important points of first knowing that a manual exists and knowIng how to access it. Then knowing what all the jargon means and what the manual doesn’t say because its written assuming a high level of knowledge already.

I second your feelings on bazzite. Last year when I switched to Linux I spent a while researching the best distro for gaming and what I could find pointed to PopOS or Mint. Never even heard of bazzite.

I can only speak to PopOS as that’s what I chose when I switched last year. It’s been mostly fine but there have definitely been pain points. If you use a hard drive other than your os install drive then you need to go to the steam website to get the installer and not use the one in the built in app store. Getting mods working for games has been incredibly annoying anytime I have to use protontricks.

Non gaming related I’ve had numerous issues trying to manage permissions for my hard drives. Not sure if this is a Pop issue or general Linux issue.

It depends how they are designed. Same as regular uranium reactors. Thorium isn’t a reactor fuel after all, it’s what you use to breed more fuel. The actual fuel is still uranium. Thorium turns into uranium-233 then that is the fuel. Normal reactors use uranium-235. Both isotopes can be made to be passively safe.

Literally nothing you just said is correct.

Given the egotistical nature of the Goauld I wouldn’t put it past them to have a sort of “gentleman’s agreement” to keep war mostly ground based to help limit the ability of the jaffa to rebel. We never see any Goauld weaponry that can track its target for instance. Everything just shoots in a straight line until it hits something. They want “war” to be up close and messy to help control their subjects. Given that, air defense as we understand it would defeat the purpose of fighting in the first place for them.
