- the big guns: Gnome or Plasma
- the middle tier: Xfce or LXQt
- the lightweights: tiling window managers (and there’s a LOT to choose from)
- the alternative crowd: Mate, Cinnamon, Regolith
on the flip side, Linux, the distros, the desktops are a lot more about community than anything Windows – and Linux projects are a lot more willing to admit they can’t operate in isolation – there’s constant interplay between the projects, the security teams, the kernel hackers, the language devs, the testers, and the users – and they communicate with each other through the blogs and mailing lists and IRC and toots and Fedi communities
just don’t use talc to get that smell
“sometimes”
“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”
“The hotel’s free WiFi is really fast”
“the DNS is disabled”

when you have a travel list with notes to remind you of your past lapses: [ ] deodorant (!full!)
Peter Moore, The Full Montezuma: Around Central America with The Girl Next Door (2001) – six months of intensive traveling together will let you know if you were meant for each other (yeah, his next book was called Swahili for the Broken-Hearted …)

generally, on either Steam or Amazon, I find the negative reviews more useful – not for the actual reviews themselves, but the overall tone – if all the negatives are just whiny conservative pearl-clutchers then the game is going to be just fine – if all the negatives are talking about bugs, broken gameplay, unfinished storylines, predatory microtransactions then it’s more EA shovelware
didn’t even think of this earlier – you can also look into the next step beyond growing and eating: preserving – pickling for the cucumbers (tsukemono or quick pickles, dill pickles, bread-and-butter pickles) – fermentation for the cabbage (sauerkraut, kimchi)
looking for some sort of stability / comfort / normalcy in life
Meet the “digital parents” giving millions in China a vision of family love they never had
the cherry on top – you can’t leave reviews if you haven’t bought the game or played it through Steam (free to play, family share)
I mean, having either White Star Line or J.P. Morgan involved in insurance scams is rather believable … every good conspiracy needs a grain of truth …
