I recommend jumping feet first into NixOs and Nix packages. Having a single file to edit for basically everything is a great thing. But also terrifying at times. If you can manage this you can manage soo much in the linux spaces.

Wait the only rangers I can recall in fo3 where Railey’s rangers. A mercenary company not affiliated to any of the west cost story as I recall. Verses the NCR rangers from fo2 & NV , as you said in 2 it was a random encounter whereas the new vegas rangers could be found as soon as Mojave outpost. And even more in the Easter boarder and Camp Golf.

Press’s load letter, what in salvation’s name does that mean?

Oh my darling tangerine 😆 JKJK

…FINE… guess I’m going to try Niagara again because this looks so clean. … But i’m not happy about it. (they type from a samsung, JKJK this looks dope and yeah ima give it another go)

It looks like Ai letter salad to me. I could be wrong but I’m on high dpi screen and can’t make it out enough to read but it has serious letter salad vibes.

If your looking to switch between things like stack/float/tile then I’d recommend sway or awesome, sway has the ability out of the box (iirc super+space) to toggle floating whereas in hypr you need to add or uncomment a line granted both are live update configs so you don’t have to do the dwm rebuild type kerfuffle but still it’s one more thing to get up and running where like I said sway has it natively and awesome has rules for auto-tiling. I’ve used all three pretty extensively and while I love hyprland for its animations I feel it’s config needs a lot of tweaking, honestly so does sway and awesome but I still like them > hyprland.

I like cinnamon, so I intended it as a compliment.

I like it its like if you wanted to get cinnamon but mom said “we have cinnamon at home”

Honestly I suggest learning in avm first so you can do save states. I recommend doing stunting like nix or a declarative/ composable distro. Learn the new way so that your getting the tools and things that are actually being used.

Don’t get me wrong it’s not an easy learning curve but I think it’s the better method of learning.

I went to collage back in the early to mid '10s completed my first year on ubuntu before switching to a 50/50 edubuntu/WIndows drive. Some stuff just required exact windows tools and my department head wouldn’t allow the gnu alternatives as the course work had instructions for windows 7 programs and was already drawing up win 8 plans for next semester too. But writing reports and learning basics was easy enough with the educational ububtu spin.

Anybody else watch the like documentary on (I want to say) forgotten arms about this and how they basically rented a space just to make it look like they where a bigger operation for when the general or whoever came in?

Yup that’s the program

Honestly I use an app called zellage and I like being able to put my music player(cmus) and artwork ripper(cmus-art), and usually a visualizer (wtf can’t I remember it’s name).

There’s no particular advantage so much as my personal preference for staying on keyboard and off mouse. I have everything bound to key chords that I’ve more or less memorized so it’s a quick ctrl+t n for new tab ctrl+p v move pane down , etc etc and I can do all of it more or less by feeling.

It’s largely an aesthetic preference, but It’s also that I have a slow system. So I can keep ram use down. 2nd gen core i3 problems (shrugs)

I use it occasionally but mostly I use terminal players like cmus or musikcube (aliased to mcu, because… geek)

Mostly I live in my shell with zellij and do basically everything on cli. Even web browsing (allbeit non graphical) can be done with stuff like lynx or w3m. And for fanfiction that’s fine.

I honestly endorse the cult of thinkpads, get an old t-series or some other cheap model. They have excellent driver compatability and access to tinker with the hardware. If you want to build it out to be a behemoth with an i7-i9 with like 16gb and a small boot drive but a massive spinning rust drive that’s doable. But it’s also a good light machine, say you keep it on 8gb and a 256 or whatever stock is… that’s still a good machine.

I’m currently running an ancient windows 7 era Dell machine and it works great its just showing it’s age in physical condition and thermals. Unfortunately it is a tank of laptop when it comes to lugging it around (especially compared to a modern thin& light). but even that still has enough horsepower as a 2ng Gen core i3 with 8gb and a 1tb spinning rust drive, for some light stuff like ,music playing and writing.

You might think about tossing ubuntu with lxqt or sway on the MacBook. Just be sure you have a way to get internet set up most the wifi cards in MacBook don’t work out of the box.
