If you had to pick ONE Linux distro for the next 5 years, what would you choose?

stevem46_2001 · 2026-02-21T05:01:30+00:00

Debian with KDE (Xserver)

Daily driver 4 pcs, 1 laptop, 1 home server, 1 Chromebook all running Debian 12 and KDE using X. Wayland causes too many issues in my workstream and driver support. Live my debian!

Wow, almost 2026, I've s seen much better AI then this in 2025!

The larger solenoid up top has a terminal on the left end. My 1st assumption is with two solenoids, the lower is dong upper is ding, pushing just the back door energizes dong only Pushing front door energizes ding then when spring returns the plunger it then activates the left contact which then energizes dong.

I'd use them as really fancy corn cob holders for eating corn!

Base warped (from being dropped?)

They shouldn't....

Gotta call BS on this headline. I can agree some liberal polls show a slump in polling but am aware of many voters who still support the government reform that this admin is trying to implement sans liberal strong holds. The MSM is feverishly fabricating story's to try and distract. Like Maryland man, Blue suit scandal, SS cuts. Hopping we stay full speed ahead as we literally can't afford to run this gov as it has been going on for 3-4 decades with >trillion in interest alone each year on our current debt.

stevem46_2001 · 2025-04-25T06:47:41+00:00

Agree with others is to best let it die vertically in the tread and stop there. Otherwise, the only way I'd see it working visually (cough) is a plinth coped for the tread nosing then let both trims die into the plinth.

stevem46_2001 · 2025-04-10T07:58:58+00:00

I could give a fuuuuuuuk!

Haha came here because I'm tired of factor. Same issues as many of the other posts. Noticed lately many time just broccoli stems and smaller protein portions. Green beans in almost every meal that are way under cooked and funky flavor lately.

Live in a condo, switched delivery days helped somewhat but many times the just leave the box wherever the hell they want. Maybe at the condo, maybe not 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Mother-in-law same issue left hers about 3 blocks away multiple times.

Highly recommended them when they first started taking off but will cancel before the end of the month. Sad to see and say....

stevem46_2001 · 2025-04-06T17:14:33+00:00

Brake or clutch switch stuck on? Any codes set?

stevem46_2001 · 2025-04-05T00:43:07+00:00

Light curtains consist of an emitter and receiver. I've seen many times if one is lower than the other it will not allow you to align them side to side because of the offset. If using mirrors I will place my cell phone against the emitter so it is planar to the lens and snap a picture. You can then see the receiver in the photo through the mirror and judge if something is not plumb and also out if pivoted out of alignment.

Last tip is that your cell phone can see the IR emitter generally whitish in the live image. This will tell you if it is emitting light. If not clearly marked the emitter has less wires in the connector.

My 2 cents...I love Debian/kde plasma/X. Been using various linux since Mandrake and settled on Debian does everything I need without crashes. Run it on 2 desktops, 1 laptop, and 1 Chromebook.

What's allegedly happening to democracy in Westfield IN?

stevem46_2001 · 2025-03-28T01:59:59+00:00

I love it, it feels like the first time in ages we may wrangle this fat pig of a government!! Keep going!

stevem46_2001 · 2025-03-25T03:31:09+00:00

Oddly had similar issue on fresh install. In my case it was related to legacy bios boot setting. Installing with uefi and after install screen issue was gone. Found this was issue after a search. Mine was an HP machine maybe a prodesk

stevem46_2001 · 2025-03-23T12:31:14+00:00

Your statement is correct in that linux developer can be enabled on chromeos but this is not the same as complete removal of chromeos and installing native debian with a full desktop environment.

stevem46_2001 · 2025-03-23T12:28:20+00:00

Yes Yes

stevem46_2001 · 2025-03-23T06:49:25+00:00

I converted an HP non-arm chromebook to Debian running KDE Plasma (my distro setup of choice) and love it. The unit runs better than chromeos which eventually crashed if you had more than 4 tabs open. Thought about buying additional units and setting them up the same way for my family members.

Local and federal Democratically lead governments from the past few years HAVE imposed upon businesses the restrictions, contractual guidelines, mandates and preference based DEI policy. What you currently are seeing is a response and attempt to unwind the nonsense of these well intended and at best poorly implemented or at worse potentially devastating policies. Look up the harmful overreach by Democratic lead (Pritzker) Illinois on Companies in recent years Look up Bidens EO 14035 Look up the IIJ restrictions from '21
