  • I’m counting game installations. Then there’s the fact that NoScript seems to reset every time I swap operating systems, so now I have to figure out what I’ve allowed and blocked before…

    Then there’s the pruning of random shit that was auto installed. Some of that shit can take days to find.

    But most of the pain is when I try to do X, and need to find a program that will do it. This happens in Windows and Linux, and either will have programs that work, but then I have to find the program and learn it, and then let enough time pass where I have to do it all over again.

    The most recent example was a map making program for my Table Top RPG obsession. One program that’s a go-to under Windows (with possible Linux capability?) is called AutoRealm. Which hasn’t updated since 2013… But it’s still one of the most powerful fractal mapping programs I’ve ever lightly used.



  • A bucket list is usually “a list of things to do before you die” i.e. kick the bucket.

    I can see how your use is correct, but it also doesn’t feel right, which is 90% of language.

    To my ear, saying that Futurama is simply “on the list” just sounds better.

    Another option would be saying that the show is in your backlog.

    But, use bucket list enough, and sooner or later that will sound correct. Because that’s also how language works.






  • Arch as a first distro is an interesting choice.

    But likely fr better than my first distro, Slackware.

    I had known about the Church of the Subgenius and then heard that there was a Linux distro based on that…

    At the time, the wikis were not really up to the task…

    These days I run Mint on my writing laptop, and unfortunately am back to Windows on my gaming rig.

    But might swap back to Gaurda for gaming…
