I’m trying Aurora on a Dell with Amd. I had the bitlocker issue coming from windows 11 that slowed the installation process. The os seems fine, I’ve used Mint and Ubuntu. I spent a good hour trying to get my flatpak apps to show up in the launcher, so that wasn’t fun.

While I like the concept of keeping the os immutable and all apps running in a container, I’m not sure this is the best setup for me. I feel less in control which I have become used to under other distros.

Anyway, I’ll stick with it a bit more and see how it goes. Battery life is good and everything else seems to be working.

Definitely need to go back a few years for some stock trades …

Yep, I’m familiar with the surface, but not other options. I need to check these out as I’ve been looking for a replacement for my laptop that isn’t really suited for the video encoding I’m doing.

Thanks.

Which ones are not arm ? I know the surface is a good example.

A table is typically an ARM based platform, so using MS products like visual studio can be a challenge, but there are web versions that help.

I think video encoding isn’t too polished on tablets as it is on a Linux/Windows PC .

I don’t know all the use cases where a table doesn’t work, but they do exist.

A tablet doesn’t cover all use cases for college work, but I suppose with the push for cloud computer instances this could actually work.

If you go to engineering school, you’ll need a computer eventually to run various software. I’m not sure about other degrees however.

I recommend getting 1x16g and then getting another 16g when you have some more cash.

You can run Windows in a VM or try wine.

Thanks, but I can’t sit through a 2 hr interview… Lol I need a bot to summarize or something

I’ve seen these, but I haven’t in a long time.

You could make one, but yes I have never seen a ice cream parlor selling cones ice cream with a cherry. I also hate cherries in my ice cream, so I would just toss it…

You can get the desktop one on sale for a lot less over the website one.

Running the desktop version of turbo tax. I will try again with wine or some other things. I did toy with the though of a vm on Linux that’s running windows ten, but not sure.

Nice, I use Lidl beans before, let me check if they have a light roast.

Ok, but everyone’s pallet is different and some can taste the difference between a fresh roast and a sale one. Personally, I can taste the difference in coffee when I have a bag that’s opened for over a few weeks, but not sure if it matters how recent the roasting was done.

I spend $$ on coffee more to support a roasting business that is small and makes a fresh batch to order. It’s also nice that the bean sourcing is better for the workers, so I hope.

I find the aeropress makes a really great cup considering how quick it is to brew.

I love my speckled ax coffee beans, but if you didn’t go down the rabbit hole of a good grinder and coffee machine then expensive coffee is not worth it.

Yeah, body soap last me a lot longer as well. People gift me Lush some times and the large bottle lasts months, I’m almost 1/4 done with one I got back in October.

A square cooking skillet pan. So many of these will bend if it’s not made of cast iron, but found the scanpan one to work wonderfully.
