  • Any Linux distro with Plasma Bigscreen. My TV box is an old laptop I got for free from work running Cachy OS. I have a remote-sized keyboard/trackpad that I use to control it. I mostly just need the arrows, but the whole keyboard is there if I need to go in to the desktop OS.

    I could use a recommendation for a big-screen ad-blocking YouTube app though.


  • I’ve only tried Ubuntu, Mint, and CachyOS.

    Didn’t like Ubuntu much, but probably because it was my first Linux attempt and I’d probably understand better now.

    Mint is cool, my laptop is running it, but the system settings being individual apps is frustrating, especially when you can’t remember the name of the one you want and there’s 2 display ones? Grrrrr

    I like Cachy a lot. I haven’t used it as much as I’ve only put it on a second laptop to use as a media centre in conjunction with Plasma Big Screen, but I’m thinking of switching my laptop over to it because it feels mostly the same in desktop mode, but the system settings are unified and a lot easier to deal with.

    (My desktop is still a Mac, I haven’t converted completely sorry)





  • They don’t make this easy to do. I convinced my boss to let me put Linux on some chrome books that we just use for presenters to read from.

    It involves disconnecting the battery and some other stupid shit that the boss wasn’t going to approve me doing.

    So they stayed on ChromeOS.

    People talk about Apple locking their shit down a lot, but I never had to open up a MacBook to install Linux.


  • In the comics he can break the spell by just telling people that knew him before who he is. They just suddenly remember everything. I always thought that was a cheap way to retcon who knows his identity. I like this better.

    Also, in the comics, Hulk remembers who Spidey is because he wasn’t present when the spell was cast, or something like that, it’s been a while. I think they alluded to that when Hulk stopped beating on Peter when he lost the mask.
