I love podman quadlets, I didn't do anything and it updated itself 😁

The vast majority of the world uses compatible voltages, so just a basic adapter is all that you need. The only places using odd voltage requiring a transformer are Japan and Northern America.

However for things with a power brick like a ps5, you just need to buy the correct power brick.

You can get universal plug sockets that accept any plug, see them in the middle East a lot. Obviously they only work with 220-240 v

Mine isn't there as an option, the internet was designed and built to be a free and open decentralised place. power, data, and control over the internet shouldnt be concentrated in a small number of corporations or governments. Instead, infrastructure, identity, content, and money should be spread across many independent nodes that no single entity controls. The fediverse is the return to what the internet always has been and always will be, just there was a small blip over the last decade or so where we lost our way.

I use it on all my machines. Debian, arch and void Linux. I have an efibootmgr script on each machine with my setup in, so if I ever need to change a setting, I update and run the script. In void, I have a hook for dracut to call it so everything stays working whenever I have a kernel update. It's very simple and easy once you get the hang of it.

Mine just runs over my music directory on a cron and tags what it wants. I don't pay any attention to it. I haven't come across a mis tagged track yet. Maybe I will at some point?

Efistub is the simplest and best solution, but agree it could do with some basic manager.

How would this compare to hyperliquid Dex? It sounds fairly similar?

Unfortunately, you do what everybody else does. You use your reading, patience and time to research test and try various options over the course of weeks, months and years until you get experienced and knowledgeable about Linux and the ever changing options and configurations. There is no ultimate manual that tells you everything there is to know about Linux.

The only questions you really need to ask when picking a distro are which one aligns best with your effort, skill and preferences. To begin with prior to using any distro, those are very low and basic, so you want to start with a low effort quick and easy introduction to Linux. Start with a live distro to play around with. Then decide how much hand holding you need from there to choose which distro you actually want to commit to at the start. Then after weeks or months on that first distro, you will figure out what you like and dislike, which will guide your choices to move to the next distro. To begin with is all about learning and experimenting.

I feel what you said is fairly judgmental, and I was just trying to add a bit of positivity to the conversation.

You don't know anything about my life's journey or the challenges I have been through.

I don't ignore the crazy in the world, I believe I do my best to improve the world in the ways I can. I try to focus my time and attention on the things that are most important to me.

I can't directly stop trump waging war on Iran as much as I can stop Putin waging war on Ukraine. But if I can contribute in some way to helping mitigate damage I will.

Everybody goes through hardship at some point in life regardless of circumstance, and to minimise that is not right, but even people in a war zone are entitled to find happiness and joy in the small things. But I also appreciate circumstance change the ability to control these feelings but don't completely remove that ability.

I think we are on 2 sides of the same coin. Although we have very different views and outlooks, I feel a lot of what you said has truth to it, albeit we are both giving our views and opinions and I honestly don't believe either of us is correct, just different.

Nice chatting to you 👍 and wish you the best.

What you call truth I call opinion. We are all entitled to our opinion, but opinion is a very personal and individual thing. I read the news daily and follow what is going on, the good and the bad. But my perception and view is totally different to yours. I see life and the world as an imperfect but remarkably interesting, exciting and enjoyable thing. Would I change things if I could? 100%!!! Do I worry or think about the stuff out of my control and that doesn't impact my life in the here and now? No, not at all. I think about my life, how I spend more time pursuing my hobbies, and the things I enjoy doing. I focus on my family and friends, their trials and tribulations, and try to help and improve their lives today and tomorrow.
