Stop pointing out the stupidity! They won't be able to start wars if the entire army has Measels.

Speed holes. They make the house go faster.

This is the only right answer. These green banana eating monsters are clearly deranged.

I love pregnant Bill Gates

Oh no.... This is horrific

Absolutely the same experience I had, but I'm dual booting windows.

Literally everything just worked with no issue. I know Mint is like Linux Lite, but I love that it's been so easy to move.

Maybe it's 12D chess! Trump threatens Greenland, NATO sends troop out of Europe to defend it, now Europe is less defended!

Look up Heroic or Lutris, both run Windows games in Linux

Oh yeah, it's really not hard. Or so I have heard. From a friend.

Only packing the essentials I see

Mobile first but also coming to PC? That doesnt make me feel confident

I know this was made to get a rise out of the Brits, but putting the amazing Scotch Egg and Pork Pie in Low Tier is a hate crime

 

I have always been tempted by Linux, and the past few times I have tried it, I spent days setting it up, only to be forced back to Windows.

I want to be more committed, and create a support network before I format everything and start again.

I use my PC for gaming and work. For work I connect to the system via a vpn client which has a linux version, so thats ok

Games are mostly Steam, though I occasionally play Fortnite with my son, and I am aware Heroic/Lutris can help with that.

The last time I installed Linux (Ubuntu) my second monitor kept switching from extend to mirror. It might not sound like a big deal, but having to change it back every time it went to sleep was a pain, and it never happened on Windows which just worked. I also had some trouble with dark mode, some apps would set the text to white but not the background to black, so you couldnt read anything.

The time before I think I was using Mint, there was an issue with the boot script which made boot up times take up to 15 minutes which again just doesnt happen on Windows.

I dont know Linux enough to be able to sort these things myself, and I have tried message boards, but it can take days for a reply, if you get a reply at all.

I have heard a lot of people are switching to Bazzite, but does it have a desktop like other OSes, or is it just gaming? Its hard to figure out.

Is one of these better for support, advice, compatibility?

 

Four months ago I was unhappy with how I looked and decided I needed to change.

I've been intermittent fasting and exercising and dropped about 10kg, so I'm down to about 70kg.

Now I'm looking at building muscle, but I almost certainly don't get enough protein. When I looked up how much I should be eating, it's about 1.6g per kilo, or for me about 115g.

I've been drinking a meal replacement shake for lunch which is advertised high in protein at about 14g, then eating a reasonably low fat dinner which is definitely not 100g of protein.

I need to get more in, but I just don't know how, and looking online it's lots of specific recipes but I'll end up cooking 3 dinners a day for family which is a lot.

I'm looking at that Surreal cereal which is 15g a serving, which if paired with a protein shake I can bump up to about 35, but I'm still a way out.

How can I bump up the intake relatively easily?

 

I'm not very musical, but I am super envious of people that can just pick up an instrument and strum or pick out some easy music.

I'd like to move from easy to tavern music because I watched a video of someone playing fantasy music on a mandolin which was beautiful.

What can I start with to just play with? I don't know if a stringed instrument is best, because when I have tried guitar it sort of sounds flat, like the guitar is stuffed with socks. Maybe it was a garbage guitar.

Maybe something with keys, or even blow, like a flute?

I tried trumpet but I couldn't get used to the blowing raspberries through the mouth piece...

Advice please!

 

I am new to Ubuntu and Linux, so I will almost certainly not have enough information, sorry.

I set up my two monitors with the refresh rate, location, and placements and saved and it all worked fine.

The machine went to sleep, and when I woke it up, it had defaulted the display settings.

I have had a look around, and someone suggested setting the displays through the Nvidia x server app, but that still did the same thing.

Has anyone had this or know a solution? Its not a huge deal, but it is a pain to reset them everytime I log on.

 

I (40M) am new to this whole scene because I wanted to lose weight. This is the first time I have ever really gained weight because my metabolism was always stupid high, but its slowed down in middle age as expected.

I started intermittent fasting, immediately cut out snacks and started having a Slimfast shake for lunch, then a reasonable dinner.

Thats all been fine, and my weight is starting to come down.

I did read articles saying that Slimfast isnt particularly good because of the sugar content, but all the articles seem to be from the US (I am British) and the stuff I have is no added sugar, and all that seems to be carb based.

People have suggested skipping it for a protein shake instead, but a lot of that is conflicting!

People have said about making a shake with protein and peanut butter, people have said peanut butter is awful for it.

I just dont know what to do and I am going in circles.

What can I drink at lunch that is better than I am currently drinking? Do I just mix the protein as directed? Do I add things?

 

I just turned 40, and for the past 5 or so years I have been unhappy with the way I look.

All my life my metabolism has been insane, I could literally eat anything all day and not gain a gram, which has its downsides as well, but not the point.

My weight went up to 80kg and I formed a pot belly which I didnt like. One night I decided enough was enough, started a diet and exercise routine.

I did look at gyms but they are stupid expensive where I live, so I bought a resistance band thing from InnStar. Its like a Gymproluxe if you have been bombarded with Facebook ads. I use it every day for bench press, preacher curls, and some other things I dont know the name of.

I also started using a body weight exercise app that claimed results in a month.

The diet I thought would be hardest, but I immediately stopped all snacks and moved onto a weightloss protein shake which are amazing and I cant believe it took this long to taste them.

Its been a week, and I feel better, Im not sleeping as much, I look forward to exercise, I am much more physically active than before, but I dont feel like I look any different. I am not expecting instant results and I havent booked myself into a Mr World contest this weekend, but I am curious to hear real experiences of when people started to notice their own changes.

 

Was it because I finished her song with her? I wonder if she has a romance Arc.

Oh... Oh no...

 

How they picked all the flesh from my leg leaving my bones clean.
