  • I hesitate to say this because I’ve messed up installs in the past doing this but you can install multiple Desktop Environments on Mint(or other distros) and swap them out at the login screen.

    For the rest of what Linux is, really just figure out what package manager you like and stick to that family of distros. If you like APT, then cool. If you check out PACMAN and ARU on Arch and like that, cool. If you have space for some VMs, do some installs and check some distros out, then if you find what you like, go with that.

    Distro hopping can be tiring but also helps with understanding what you need in an OS. But it is way easier to distro hop with VMs.







  • Haven’t checked in lately because I’m been working a lot, and relying way too much on drugs and alcohol lately. I won’t get into the drugs part so probably don’t need spoiler tags. I do need to cut back on alcohol though.

    I get unsupervised visitation rights for my kids. But I suspect that is so my ex can go do whatever she now does in her free time. She’s been lying to me about almost everything this whole divorce process and I’m probably gonna email her lawyer and add to the list of my “demands” that she stops lying. I’d rather hear a shitty truth than deal with her extremely bad attempts at lying, especially when it involves my kids.

    The band project is stuck in schedule hell right now but once we figure that out, we have a guitarist, drummer and now possible other bassist. If this bassist joins on, I’m considering switching to main vocals full time and helping with writing music while I continue to relearn bass. Turns out it’s actually kind of like riding a bike. I’m working on alternate picking since it’s something I never really got down when I played last. For the band’s sound, I wanted to go with older hardcore punk but now I’m thinking about doing closer to early 2000’s hardcore(Hopesfall, Poison the Well, On Broken Wings, The Number Twelve Looks Like You, etc. But I still want the politically charged themes. I’m working on lyrics for a few songs that focus on my own mental health, communist revolution, trans rights, and landback. I’m also working on my fry screams and I think I got them fairly nailed down at this point. I even have my own twist on them for a bit of flair lol.

    I think that’s about it. I’m watching The Sopranos for the first time since I told my friend I’d give it a go. Also first time watching Boondocks. I’m enjoying both so far.








  • Unless I’m actually FB friends with a fellow comrade on here I doubt there is any chance of doxxing me. This is the text:

    Happy Thanksgiving.

    This country was founded on genocide, slavery and oppression. And it still operates under this capacity. Both the Democrats and Republicans are actively supporting and funding the Gazan Genocide. Your Starbucks coffee’s beans are harvested by child slaves. The US hegemony is responsible for 10’s of millions of deaths every decade it still exists. We live in the wealthiest nation on the planet but have the highest rates of incarceration in the world. We have the highest rates of homelessness and our current solution is to put the unhoused into concentration camps instead of building houses for them or expropriating the empty houses that have been bought up by billionaires, thus causing this current housing crisis that is mirroring the housing bubble of 2008. We have the best medical science in the West but our health is locked out by subscritions and paywalls that masquerade as insurance that most of the working class can’t even afford. And our drinking water is in crisis because the Oligarchy we live under is controlled by the same tech billionaires that think we need more AI data centers instead of having our basic needs met.

    A better future is possible, but not under this system. A better future starts with landback, reparations, and the egalitarian treatment of all people.
