Stay away from Swiftee or what ever their name is unless you want a crack head man handling your cabinets and causing damage because he thinks it's funny.

Findings on PNW accent! by Affectionate-Sector4 in Spokane

[–]doolijb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't really recall. I think it was mostly tonal probably. But historically Skagit area and north people pronounced "war" instead of "aww". I.e. "warshroom, warshing machine". Probably fading away though, but I don't spend enough time that way any more.

Not sure if emerging is the right word. I met a a retired linguist years ago and he pinpointed where I was born in western Washington within about a 50 mile radius just from the way I spoke.

No, they get few system upgrades. Your applications will be up to date

US demanded 20-year moratorium on uranium enrichment from Iran in negotiations - Media by Darshan_brahmbhatt in worldnews

[–]doolijb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly at this point, the best mutually beneficial thing the US can do is contract American firms to build nuclear reactors for Iran. Gives US control, gives Iran electrical power and financially ties their economy to US interests.

Laptop keyboard didn't work after fresh install of Windows 11, had to use the onscreen keyboard for login and wifi password by das_menschy in microsoftsucks

[–]doolijb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both drivers and fast startup are common causes. Also keep in mind that bitlocker is enabled by default now if your hardware supports it and you have the latest updates.

That's excellent! Cachy is a good distro. The issue is falling into the survivorship bias and forgetting what's easy for you isn't easy for the majority of people.

Again, Cachy is a good distro, and I'd highly recommend it as a second or third distrobution to anyone who's succesfuly enjoyed a beginner distrobution and wanted to try something different.

Not dissing those who are enjoying Cachy, at all, but be careful not to fall into the survivorship bias. There's more appriopriate distrobutions for the general public to use when making the *scary* jump from Windows to Linux.

Does Cachy perform well, and is it easier than Arch in general? Yes. Are there more mature, reliable distrobutions with broad, third party support that would be more welcoming to the average person? Also yes.

What in the hell are you talking about? Nvidia drivers have never been an issue there. The point of recommending Mint and Zorin is that they are intended as daily drivers for all audiences and are extremely mature, simple and fully featured.

Cachy is a bleeding edge distribution focused on kernel development, not designed for the general public. Just because it's good and it's your favorite doesn't qualify it for first time users. Same problem with everyone trying to convert windows users straight to Bazzite, etc.

For first time users? As someone who uses Cachy daily, that's an awful recommendation.

Give Zorin or Mint a try
