I know lots of people love KDE. I haven’t tried it yet. I just googled the difference when I was researching distros and chose GNOME because it looked more Mac-like, which is my preference.

Displaying the title of the currently playing media sounds useful!

This was a mild pain. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, then I realized that the browser extension and tool worked flawlessly in Firefox, but not Brave.

I did install that one, and it’s pretty fun. You can even change the color of the fire and the speed of the animation.

There are so many options! I have it on the original fire one (with the animation sped up), but I’m considering switching to the DOOM inspired one.

This is the one I saw. It’s Internet radio though.

Uh oh.

I’m sure I’ll get there, but it’s all new to me right now, so the temptation to add a bunch of nonsense is real…

Well, there a desktop PC, a laptop, and possibly an old Chromebook that I’m considering…

Whoa, this sounds like a really cool project. I think I would enjoy doing this. Thank you for telling me about it.

That sounds cool. So, could you add additional old hardware to this “pool” to use as needed? Just, like cobbled together resources to run stuff?

This might be a little advanced for me at the moment.

Haven’t heard of it before. Is it a distro?

Fitting that it’s being offered by The Penguin himself.

Hmm, I may edit this gif for a meme post.

“…aaalways read the hardware specs, Mr. Bluewing, sir.”

This would be a really interesting rabbit hole to go down…

Amazing. There’s a level of stubborn ingenuity that I can appreciate.

It’s too far from the router right now, but I have some options.

I needed to have the new adapter plugged in to use a tool from the manufacturer that is supposed to detect your adapter and install the most up to date driver for you, but of course you have to be online, so I was using the old semi-broken adapter and had both plugged in and connected to my router at the same time.

It seems jank, but it made me wonder what would happen if I just left both connected forever. Would it stay seamlessly connected as long as they both don’t drop at the same time? Lol

This is my jam. I really enjoy having a steep hill to climb.
