I would use KDE Neon before I’d bother trying kubuntu yet again. Manjaro does a reasonable KDE version as well. Maybe Endeavour and Open SUSE too.

Fedora KDE is my distro of choice though.

“too”?

Well, she wasn’t going to be able to throw the election if she made herself popular.

Oh, I prefer to be strung along and asked to make a bunch of changes before you reject my PR. That makes me feel truly loved. In the ass.

I get this.

Ah, Megyn, glad it’s not some guy spouting “old enough to bleed, old enough to breed” like my drunk uncle at Thanksgiving…

Jesus, you’re trying hard to be a dick, huh. Try harder.

I have to start to learn how to automatically create notes. I’m starting to forget how my systems work together, too. Fortunately when I research something I do it the same way every time so I come up with the same result, then go to implement it and find all the scripts etc that I forgot about that do that job.

I hate the “Microsoft Recall” idea, but damn, I need something like that with an AI to keep it indexed and searchable as it relates to my activities. All self-hosted, of course.

Fedora KDE.

I’m sick and tired about hearing about Zorinn when there’s a dozen excellent Linux distros that aren’t derivative trash that astroturf social media and pass off other Foss projects as their own.

I literally could not reproduce a single one of your bugs.

Kubuntu is utter dogshit as an example of Plasma and has been for years. I’ve installed it and seen it be completely unusable. Try the KDE Fedora spin and see what you get.

The first mistake is using Kubuntu. It’s always been a buggy mess.

I’m actually kind of convinced it’s built to make regular Ubuntu look good.

Ducks.

I’m going to spend thousands on a month-long trip, even being frugal, and they think $18 is my breaking point? That’s a beer.

I don’t see this phenomenon. Maybe people suggest those things to use because frankly, they’re a very fundamental part of the self-hosting landscape, and you’re see it as “you must use these”. Use whatever the hell you want and pay the price for doing it the hard way, by all means. But saying people are gatekeeping isn’t the way I see this community.

Oh, gee, are the 2026 candidates free to decry the “betrayal”? After they’re elected next year, and have 6 years to go to their next election, they’ll be the ones submarining the votes so the current crop of traitors don’t have a take a fresh betrayal into an election year either. See how that works? That’s how complete complicity plays in the Democrat party.

It’s not squandering when it’s done deliberately.

If you do a zfs list from the Proxmox server command line, you’ll now see a dataset named something like rpool/vm100-data-disk1 and that the second virtual disk in your VM. Now you operate on the virtualdisk however you like, format it with EXT4 or something (don’t use ZFS). It’s still a ZFS volume and Proxmox will be able to snapshot it, replicate it etc, or you could do it manually on the host. But as far as the VM is concerned, it’s a raw disk that you do normal disk stuff with.

Written by a woman that pre-deceased this dink four years previously. That’s a hate boner when you write someone’s obituary just so it’s available when they’re dead, even when you know you’re going to be dead already.
