  • I finally got fed up with my Windows machine and upon seeing symptoms of motherboard failure, I’ve ordered all the parts for a new rig and intend on installing Linux as my primary OS.

    Haven’t decided on a distro yet. I’m a DevOps engineer with a few passion projects, so I plan on setting up a couple of kubernetes clusters where I can play. I do all the usual things (word processing, gaming, web browsing, multimedia, etc), plus some AI stuff (stable diffusion, local LLMs, OpenCV). Ideally don’t want to have to fuss with drivers too much, but I don’t mind getting my hands dirty every now and then.

    Is Chimera the kind of distro I should be looking at, or should I pick something else for my first go at full-time Linux?

    My mom left some plain potato chips at my place shortly after I moved in. I wasn’t going to eat them, so every few days, when I saw some crows sitting on the telephone line in the backyard, I’d leave a chip or two so they’d like me. But I knew it wasn’t healthy for them so when the bag ran out, I got some raw unsalted cashews and started leaving those instead. The crows stopped coming to my backyard almost immediately. I know the nuts and seeds are healthier, but I think they only wanted the tasty food with no nutritional content. Same, crows. Same.






  • Doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the ads with annoyingly smug-faced people saying things like, “I make ten thousand dollars a month playing solitaire,” because everyone knows playing solitaire while watching ads is super lucrative. I wish there were consequences for people who false advertise to such an astronomical degree, but there never will be.
