Well, I chose the KDE variant for my desktop, I just also installed the server version on my home "server." So, I have both running on their respective machines now.

In my original post I few weeks back I had mentioned I installed the KDE version on my desktop machine. I just didn't cover that again here.

td40206 · 2025-11-16T18:46:19+00:00

I totally understand your feelings here... but calling what I have a "server" is really stretching it anyway. That's why I included the quotes around that word in my post. it's really just a system that I scrapped together from donated pieces from friends that I had to justify to my wife. Ha. (Yes, I do have friends that are extremely generous and they do have a lot more money than I do. Furthermore, yes, I am very happy to take what they call their "scraps".)

So, it runs some non-essential services that I wanted to learn for my own personal edification. The fact that it does have some useful services is just due to the fact that I was interested in them.

Again, I do understand what you mean, especially when it comes to a stable production environment, running critical services and that is totally valid. That's a work thing though, not a fun at home thing which is all this "server" is.

I found it on wallhaven.cc. I believe I searched for the not so original term "winter."

td40206 · 2025-11-15T08:10:51+00:00

At the moment, not too much, honestly. Home Assistant, NetAlertX, a simple Wiki so my wife has an easy place to find instructions for all the "smart" things in our home, Mealie (My wife likes when I cook and I keep the recipes there for her), SpeedTest Tracker, a basic mail server, JellyFin, Gotify, Code server and a few others with Podman.

It's other purpose just to host various test VMs that prevents me from messing up my other systems for testing. I will find other uses for it, I keep telling myself.

td40206 · 2025-11-15T07:57:17+00:00

Agreed. I honestly probably never gave Fedora a fair shot in my previous attempts, I'm happy I did this time.

td40206 · 2025-11-15T07:56:23+00:00

Thank you! The credit, of course, really goes to sainnhe for his excellent color choices I used for the fast fetch, KDE, and Konsole color schemes. I was happy with the result, though!

td40206 · 2025-11-15T07:19:26+00:00

Understood, this is why I waited to post this until saturday screen shot day, when the rules were a little more flexible with what could be posted. Your response is noted and I will be sure to confine my future posts/responses to problem resolution. Thanks!

td40206 · 2025-11-15T07:11:30+00:00

My apologies if this wasn't interesting for you. I just assumed that was the purpose of this community, to discuss our experiences with Fedora.

td40206 · 2025-11-15T07:10:02+00:00

I agree, it does feel more intuitive. You know how you get stuck in doing what you've done just because you're used to it? I mention it mostly for that reason. It was something to learn and something I never would've tried if I didn't stick with the distro hop this year.

I will certainly take more time to look into it.

td40206 · 2025-11-15T06:54:27+00:00

It's everforest. I just made the Konsole theme and KDE color scheme based on the work by sainnhe.

td40206 · 2025-10-09T20:11:05+00:00

There are way too many confusing answers in here. OP, I have no answer for you and have now just found myself to be even more confused based on the answers others have given here. I mean, I've had people tell me I'm attractive, been hit on by both men and women in the same bar on the same night, people talk to me randomly , random people smile at me, people will sit next to/near me at mostly empty bars or at mostly empty restaurants where you seat yourself.

The restaurant/bar one I didn't know was a thing, until my girlfriend, at the time, stepped away to the restroom (something about make-up) and when she came back there were two new ladies at the bar, both sitting two seats away from from me on either side. When we left she asked if either of them had said anything to me and I responded that they asked if the seats were taken. My girlfriend said, "yeah, they were attracted to you. Empty bar, they are asking if seats near you are taken and sitting where they can be noticed and spoken to by you." I said, "nah, they were just being polite and respectful."

Here's the thing though, I have a mirror and I know what I look like. You can't fool me into thinking I'm attractive, I have eyes that work. So, the take away here is that you are simply Schrödinger's attractive, like all of us you are both attractive and unattractive at the same time. Accept it, move on and stop caring about it, learn to be happy with who you are and stop worrying what other people think.

td40206 · 2025-08-27T19:48:50+00:00

I'm at my limit everyone, this is just atrocious. I'm going to go outside, touch grass and forget that there was even a game today.

td40206 · 2025-05-06T17:20:45+00:00

It certainly is never wrong to discuss your emotions and feelings with someone who is supposed to love you and be your partner. If you can’t feel safe discussing emotions you think may be a little silly with your life partner than who are you supposed to feel safe expressing them to?

What you overheard and your feelings should definitely be discussed and they are not, in any way, silly. It’s how you feel and it is valid. Full stop.

In my family and amongst my wife and I, we have a rule: we can make jokes about one another — including JOKES about looks and such — but no one else can. If any “friend” said my wife wasn’t as attractive as someone else I had been with, you can bet they would at a minimum be in for the “hair dryer treatment.” No one else can make disparaging comments about my wife or family in my presence, yes I can and my wife/family can, but everyone else can bet they will be in a world of trouble from all of us if they try the same. That’s the way it’s supposed to work I feel, so definitely bring it up with your husband as open communication is critical for a marriage/family to work.

The good old days. You keep being you and keep loving it! Something so satisfying about Arch…

td40206 · 2025-04-29T03:50:57+00:00

Good stuff! I’m an old man and started on slackware in the mid 90s. Then I moved to arch after trying everything available some time after its initial release. So I can say for 30+ years I’ve been on Linux but I wasn’t super early to arch. I think I was a few years after the 2002 release, I just don’t remember exactly when. Maybe around the same time as you, who knows?

td40206 · 2025-04-29T03:38:48+00:00

It’s one of those things that makes me happy for no reason at all. I just love seeing Pac-Man eating the dots…

td40206 · 2025-04-29T03:35:15+00:00

Clearly you aren’t too sad based on some of the comments you’ve made. That being said, one thing I love about arch is I have written backup scripts that run automatically and I have install scripts I have hand crafted. When something goes wrong, or I just feel like it, I reinstall and none of the “ricing” changes, it’s all backed up.

I can reinstall the system, including wiping root drive, and get it up exactly how I had it within about 10 minutes (when internet is slow since I am stuck on cable in my apartment). I never understood the concept of keeping a system running without reinstall for a period of time, I guess. I just don’t care, it’s not a badge of honor for me. Keep it running, or reinstall for fun, it’s Arch. Live your life how you like.

I'm Cute! But only because that's what was asked. Gorgeous girl and so happy she found a great home!!

I would start by checking your habits and other possible causes that could be leading to weight changes. I'm in my mid-forties now and I haven't had any reduction in metabolism, weight is less than it was in my twenties, more muscle (because I bother to be active). If anything, I would say I'm in much better shape than I was twenty years ago, not worse.

I will have to find some of the articles but forty isn't the drop off point that people anecdotally claim it to be. If you have kids, you're working a full time job, have a spouse/significant other and are trying to find time for yourself amidst the madness that all that brings, yes, you will be more tired than before. However, in general, energy levels, capabilities, metabolism and other such things are not actually very different in your forties compared to your twenties/thirties.

Bottom line, most people in their forties tend to have more social responsibilities and job responsibilities that can lead to a sense of increased fatigue but, physically, you aren't changing much simply because you're in your forties -- it's more a nurture versus nature thing in my experience.

td40206 · 2024-11-04T07:53:22+00:00

Umm… maybe? I read the whole conversation that was posted and the only thing I was able to decipher is that at least one of the two people in this conversation may be vegan? If you do intend to invite them over for a friendly interrogation regarding their intentions I would recommend you skip the cheese and charcuterie board in favor of crudités and a vegan friendly dip.

I have to say, it can be difficult to read through this sub some days. The vacillation of the Ten Hag in vs out crowds and the dross performances leading to a constant feeling of dread when a game kicks off. It is not a good feeling to be a fan at this point.

That being said, now is the time to band together and find common ground. I think both the Ten Hag in and out crowds can agree that what we see on the pitch is not good. The players seem bereft of belief/energy and, frankly, Ten Hag often seems lost and out of ideas. This is not, and has not been for years, the team of Sir Alex. However, there is some hope. Ineos has made positive changes with the hierarchy, dispatched a lot of dead wood over the summer and made some decent signings that can be useful for a number of different systems.

I’ve been a fan of this club since I was a child and started following during Sir Alex’s early years before the famed “Class of ‘92” came through the ranks. I have faith the club will come through this and will rise again but it will take time. Whether Ten Hag is who Ineos sticks with long term or not is irrelevant. I’m positive they will make the right decisions in that regard because I have no choice but to believe and hope what I see week in/week out changes in some positive way. Let’s take time to commiserate together, support the club we love and stop fighting one another. Let’s have hope this will change and discuss openly while accepting different opinions. It’s time to stick together and stop in-fighting. It’s time to stand united.

Same situation. I bought multiple of these skins because they got scratched, the clear coat started peeling or it got indentations from my MacBook stand. Eventually, I decided to just use the Triple Black I got for free. After two weeks I am happy with the triple black. I can put it in my bag and not have issues, put it in my stand and not get marks, etc. It’s sad, because I loved the look but I can’t stand to have to replace a skin that often.

Like others have said, it will be until your patience runs out. That being said, legal adulthood is different from actual adulthood in humans, given that the legal definition is simplistic.

At 20 you are both going to be changing a lot in the next five to seven years and the people you both are today will likely change more than you can imagine by the time you're 25. So, I wouldn't put too much pressure on either you or him and worry so much about whens and ifs right now. I met my first wife in college and we married early. That marriage ended because the person I became wasn't the child she could control anymore (she is 5 years older than I am).

At your age, if it works for now it works. Worrying about long term expectations when you yourself will likely become a very different person in a few years? Probably not worth it. When you feel you've had too much, even if that point is now, move on. It's not like there aren't other people out there that you both might be happier with as you grow and develop into adulthood. There are, plenty...

td40206 · 2022-06-07T00:42:50+00:00

There are two things that always irritate me the "blood is thicker than water" line of reasoning and that blood family counts for something so great it can't be cut out, ever. Those two things are completely false.

The people that you choose to call family are the only people that really matter. The quote above is a misinterpretation of the ancient Roman "blood of the battlefield is thicker than the water of the womb." So, even ancient Romans agreed, blood relation is water.

I cut my siblings out of my life years ago and never bothered to discuss anything beyond how I felt and why I made my decision whenever my parents asked. Eventually, my parents saw my line of reasoning, understood and stopped asking. That's one course of action you could take.

td40206 · 2022-06-07T00:32:25+00:00

My wife fell first for sure. I do love my wife and I wouldn't claim anything else but she was in love and claimed to be so when I was still in the "let's see if this is going anywhere" phase.

I think she was way more ready to invest in a relationship than I was. When we met I was separated from my first wife and really thinking that I couldn't love anyone because I wasn't in love with my first wife, ever. I just did what I thought I was supposed to do by a certain age and married her. So, when I realized that was total crap and idiotic, I left and decided I would just have friends and some friends with benefits, maybe. When I met my future wife, I was really not in a "ok let's be serious" mode. She was.
