I have to agree with most people, arch is probably the way to go.

But given the subject I’m gonna piggy back on you and ask about KDE Neon. This is what got me back into desktop Linux after installing it on an old crappy tablet.

Now i currently run it on a couple older but upgraded AIOs and even my server that primarily does VMs.

If i understand it’s a little more bleeding edge than people would normally like but I’m curious the community thoughts on it as i don’t hear much. Am I missing out not running arch or mint?

Interesting. Can relate having spent most of my life on a southern coast. One summer my parents shipped me to my uncle in Denver for a few weeks. One day we dropped by an air show. It’s summer and it’s hot (mid 90s or so) but you can’t feel it. People passing out was common enough it had an announcement.

Cut to later that day and we are up in the mountains and I’m walking through a snow bank with the same T-shirt and shorts from earlier, perfectly comfortable.

So yeah if it’s dry you can wear about anything… when it’s humid nothing seems to work be it hot or cold. If we are gonna change the climate here are my notes: I’d like 65-68degF and let’s say 45% RH. All day everyday. Make it so!

That’s curious. I actually feel more and more lucid starting around noon or whenever the sun starts setting, and into the night. The person in the mirror starts to actually look decent, I feel more free and happy, etc.

Can’t go to sunrise if it can be helped. For some reason it’s just a punch in the face to me. I probably have issues with responsibilities or something.

We are all weird creatures for sure though even just based on the comments in this post.

It was indeed fun! All my rescues have an interesting sometimes tragic story. I’ll have to compile a book someday. Short of one kitten, I never posted anything on reddit. Though my first, who had to be put down at 18 because she was miserable, gained a little fame on fark back in the day.

Anyway, Carmen looks great! Healthy and happy and I love the black nose! It looks almost fake… you didn’t spray paint your cat right? Jk! Hard to believe you found her alone and crying years ago, but I’m glad she found you

Oh, FWIW I couldn’t see your pic on lemmy (boost) and had to log in to kbin on desktop and find this thread and then could see it. I thought fediverse stuff was all connected? Oh well, I got to see her and your cat-tax balance has been cleared. Have a good w/e!

That’s great you rescued her. And if you can rub the belly that means 100% trust. Not that mine don’t trust me… some just don’t like it. One of mine does, the other gets confused and flips over so I rub topside and the other nutcase just seems to find great amusement in setting a trap.

Interesting about the food. Mine won’t tolerate a low food bowl… they get super nutty when that happens. My primary 2 share an always full of healthy food bowl. While they eat the same amounts one is super skinny and the other obese. It would be impossible to try and separate their diets so as long as they are active, healthy and happy I see no reason to change it up. But I’m noting the spoon trick if it should ever be needed!

I hope your rescue brings you happiness for your efforts. :) I’ve always found cats complex and often annoying but they have a way of being quite loving… when It suits them anyway.

Well that is certainly neat how easy it is to add an inline image.

He came passing through one day after I finished mowing the lawn about 3 yrs ago. He was navigating the sprinklers and eating bugs. Pretty pathetic. I couldn’t get near him but I went and got some meow mix. I’d never feed my cats this unless emergency as it seems to be like cotton candy or something to them so I exploited that and in a few days I got to pet him.

Was like petting a skeleton. I let him in but could tell that wasn’t gonna fly with my other 2. So I installed a cat door so he could access the garage. I’m not sure he’s very bright as it was exhausting getting him to figure out he could simply walk through it. He’s been around ever since aside from those mysterious 6 weeks.

He’s not handsome anymore but he’s cool. I’ll give him some scritches as you requested, just not on the belly! Like another rescue he forgets that he is safe now and instincts take over when touched the wrong way. Thanks for listening to my dumb cat story!

I don’t know how to add a pic here which is too bad as he was a super cute kitten. He turned into an ugly cat but I don’t hold it against him.

Sorry, still learning this platform.

Been loving this app since the preview.

Reddit became a different site for me when I used baconit and w10m. Once i went to android there were a number of apps to try but i settled on boost.

After api changes I couldn’t bring myself to install their app and i did miss it. l used liftoff here for a bit but this has been so much more functional. Truly a great job by the dev and worth the wait. The paid version seems like a steal given you can’t get a good chicken sandwich anywhere near that.

I’ll probably gift a few copies to friends and family just so i don’t feel guilty.

Lord i sound like a paid amazon review. I’m as cycnal as they come though and not easily won over for what it’s worth.

Thanks, you made me feel better! And it’s nice to know some cats enjoy belly rubs and won’t tear you apart for it.

I worked with big cats for a bit so maybe I’m just cautious but I’ve spilled blood too many times for touching the belly. Only rescue I took in that was a skeleton yet somehow pregnant likes it. I gave her kittens good homes after they were old enough to be fixed and in one case a 18hrr drive.

As much as the last rescue would like to come in he stays outside but has the garage. It’s on purpose because I’m a sucker and can’t save them all and he defends the territory. He vanished for 6 weeks and showed back up with a clipped ear and no “package”. City thing I guess but 6 weeks? I wish i could hear that story. Sorry for the unrequested story but he deserves to be logged in internet history. His name is Vibe.

That’s a fair point. There aren’t any rules with cats. That was just my experience and in case it matters all my cats were rescues. Perhaps for a reason! But I feel bad now with the downvotes and should add they all have good lives but each has a very different personality to deal with.

Is that a female cat? If so tummy rub is good IF she’s had kittens. Beyond that, total trap!

Cats don’t generally like a tummy rub otherwise, at least in my experience. And if not a mama cat better get ready for some blood! (And I’m not saying mama cats are safe either - vicious creatures!)

I run insider so I get GSODs… sucka

Nah some notes most people could ignore would be nice. I have no idea what that machine is doing half the time but it’s certainly nothing positive.

I know this all too well. Grain-free food seems to really help.

Sometimes Fluffy urps in the corner. Fluffy knows better than that.

Cats are fun I like them
