I dunno, did you even stay at a Holiday Inn last night?

TempleOS is the only correct answer.

It’s a good question and years ago I might have asked the same thing. I’m a minimalist and I really dislike all the extra crap that comes with all-in-one distros these days. Not just installed programs, but also daemons and services that start by default. I hate the idea that I have to go in and manually turn them all off on new installs. I used Ubuntu for a long time but slowly got more and more annoyed at the bloat. The snap situation was the final straw that pushed me to explore other distros. I landed on Arch and really liked it. A new Arch install can be incredibly clean, basically providing nothing more than a command prompt from which you can install what you need. The only stuff running on your machine is what you explicitly put on it. There are a couple things I get annoyed with in Arch, like some baked-in drivers for hardware I don’t have, however it’s minor enough that I can let it go. I also played with Gentoo but couldn’t get comfortable enough to make it my daily driver. Arch is my personal best-balance between cleanliness and effort.

That must have been a royal pain in the ass digging in a confined space like that. Good job.

I have a friend who’s a psychologist and brings his dog in to the office. He says his patients look forward to seeing the dog more than him, and even ask to schedule appointments on days when the dog will be in.

In the words of Jamie Zawinski, “Linux is only free if your time has no value.”

My work allows RHEL, but it’s a specialized configuration that doesn’t get updated very often. I tried it for a while but it was so out of date that I couldn’t build half the tools I needed, so I ended up switching back to Windows. It was about 10-15 years ago when the C++ standard was undergoing a lot of changes, and the company-approved version of GCC was several years old and didn’t support any of the newest features.

That disease factory is the lifeblood of this town, I’ll tell ya. My granddaddy worked there all his life. My pappy been there since he was fourteen. Me and all my cousins work there as long as I can remember. I still remember the day Uncle Chester fell into the centrifuge. Boy howdy did he make a mess!

Same. Emil getting doused in toxic waste still haunts me.

Gottem.

Rats with tight black leather get laid the most. I’m calling it now.

You idiots! These are not them… You’ve captured their stunt doubles!
