This was a great read and nearly mirrors my experiences with immutable distros as well.

I jumped ship from windows into Debian at first and after running into a lot of strange issues (mostly self inflicted) I decided I liked the idea of an immutable distro + containers to keep me on rails and prevent me from nuking things I shouldn’t.

I went with Aurora DX initially but decided to switch to Bazzite DX instead (which just took a single rebase command since they’re both based on Universal Blue. That was very cool) In theory it sounds great but I’ve run into issues with containers that I don’t understand. Specifically it seems like a permissions issue or something to do with the way my file system is set up. I tried installing a .deb into a debian container (same version and same .deb I had already installed just fine on Debian previously) but the container kept throwing weird errors about missing files. The path in the container error seems like it doesn’t exist and even if I remake the container with a custom root directory I get the same error. Just very weird stuff like that.

I wish I could hop on a discord call with someone who is familiar with this stuff and have them walk me through some of this. I’m definitely not going back to Windows so I’ll figure all this stuff out eventually, but its a bit of a struggle right now.

He just posted a video about tricking AI license plate readers (possibly illegal where you live) that was also very interesting.

If you read Project 2025 you would find that literally on Page 1 they equate pornography with “the spread of transgenderism and drag queens” and claim that all of the above are “invading their school libraries” so all further references to combating “pornography” in the text also means transgender people.

You can read it for yourself here and I strongly advise you to do so to stay informed. The enemy has laid bare every single one of their tactics and remaining ignorant to it is irresponsible.

Oh man I didn’t know they were replacing these. I tried the 3.5mm jack for the first time the other day and it was awful. I thought it had sat around unused for too long and I needed to clean it out or something

The first Deus Ex game. Really fun FPS with some RPG elements, branching paths with multiple endings, cool augmentations, and the GotY edition came with the SDK so there were always a bunch of cool custom multiplayer servers.

I used to make custom weapons, like a shotgun that shot chunks of meat, or an energy sword that dripped acid or flames. Really fond of it and I should probably play it again sometime soon

As amazing as Microcenter is, they’re largely a consumer electronics store, not really component level like RadioShack used to be
