I use Merkur shaver with Cremo cream. Here’s my process:

turn faucet on until hot water running. Wet face. Apply cream. Shave. Rinse and dry

It literally isn’t different from shaving with a cartridge except a better shave, more pleasant, and cheaper. OK, it probably takes 10 seconds extra to change the blade vs popping cartridge, but that’s it

I shaved with an electric for a couple years, bad shaves and bad skin

? If you’re hardware runs Fedora, it should run anything

what’s the problem? Happy to help if I can

these days it’s pretty easy to just pick one and go, but you can still run into issues, and for people new to linux it can be frustruating for sure. When I started using linux, I didn’t even really know what a terminal was, so a lot of the stuff I would read on forums etc (it was a long time ago) I couldn’t even put into practice. I once got insulted for asking a dumb question with both RTFM and PEBCAC but didn’t even know I had been insulted. Just kept plugging away and eventually got it going. I think PCLinuxOS was the first distro I ran seriously as a “daily driver” and I think that stuck because the community on the forums was the friendliest

I assume you mean Debian for ideology, not Sid, unless you have strong feelings about breaking toys

but is that because of the community nature of Debian, or because default it’s free software only? Guessing the former, since there are other options for the latter

is it that big because of the snaps? It used to be (well after it breached to 700M CD limit) ~1.5G and AFAIK doesn’t include a lot more default software?

Rebecca Black here, though now that Wayland is everywhere, should switch

one too many BSOD
this was 2005 ish

Mailnag?

wasn’t sure if I was on linux or esperanto community for a minute there

Sabayon linux. Like Gentoo but without the compiling. shit was always broken. Though the guy who made it had a good sense of humor and was very enthusiastic

Sidux/aptosid: great distro, absolutely worst community

The mixed blessing of GPLv2

don’t care about absolute performance, more interested in performance/watt

given Android, it might even be that most linuxes aren’t GNU/linux

When Android came out, it really hit this and the limits of the GPLvII home for me

What are you, a rival DCL school alumnus? I mean, not Weston obviously, cause that’s a thing. It’s a better name for a display server than Lincoln-Sudbury or Cambridge Ridge and Latin

Or are you just traumatized by the 128/Pike interchange traffic?

lol, that brought back memories

Well there are/were systems like that, Crunchbang bring the one that pops into my mind most immediately, but there are others. I think they’re the minority though, even something like MX which you might say is just Debian with a nice xfce has the option of not using systemd, pop and mint don’t ship with snaps…so a bit more than just themeing…where to draw the line?

Umm, no. Go read it again.

Global warming shuts off the current, so the warm air doesn’t shuttle north, causing local cooling, not global

This was sort of a thing in the brief netbook flowering

It didn’t work

Very much so. Unless there are in kernel drivers, support is all over the map, particularly for newer or “non standard” hardware with proprietary drivers

Great to see

Closest I got to running it though was Zenwalk for about 6 months in 2009
