Linux Desktop Question:

I currently use a Mac, but I'm thinking my next machine might be a desktop. There's no way I'm gonna use Windows so that means Linux.

I'd like Distro recommendations.

My applications:
1. Brave
2. Thunderbird
3. VSCode
4. Libreoffice
5. Terminal
6. CPU & Memory meters in the top bar

My requirements:

NO BUGS, absolutely not one single bug. I will move heaven and earth to get the thing setup right, but I will not tolerate one single screw-up, no apt-get dependency conflict fuckery, nothing.

I'm open to minimalistic UIs like XFCE or LXDE if they can deliver no bugs. I need control+tab and control+tilda for switching windows.

Any recommendations?

Recently I've been thinking a bit about hydrogen fusion.

The pressure required to make H2 spontaneously fuse is around 250 billion atm, which is enough that there isn't really any material that you can build a suitable piston or cylinder out of.

A recent approach has been to try to force a liquid (in this case a hot metal) to compress a bubble of hydrogen plasma in the hope that as it collapses, the inertia of the liquid will create a shockwave that far surpasses the pressure of the vessel, reaching the target pressure at the center.

In this design, they center the plasma by spinning the entire apparatus in order to drive the heavier liquid to the edge by centrifugal force - not an ideal requirement for an engine. In addition, the number of independent pistons is annoying compared to a single reciprocating piston with a number of equal length tubes between it and the reaction vessel.

There's something I find quite amusing about the notion that humans may in fact make it to the stars, but with EM drives* that are powered by what are glorified internal combustion engines. Nothing will define the aesthetic of future asteroid miners better than a spaceship that sounds like a Camaro.

* Contrary to popular belief, the science behind "flying saucer" tech is pretty much sorted and it's just an engineering problem that remains.

Absolutely briliant

@Gargron You won't see this message because the instance you administer suspends me for disagreeing with one (1) leftist on an entirely different instance.

Those reviews are entirely accurate.

This one's my favorite: https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/pulls/553

Along with the MRF modification, that I spent an hour debugging, because I was writing an MRF from scratch to know if someone unfollowed me. Yes, Akkoma prevents all Undo, Delete and Block activities from going through the MRF pipeline, but forced unfollows go through, because they are actually Follow activities with a Reject coat on them.

Or the forum post where a user was asking how to change the instance favicon and sent a Soapbox link in the body.

But enough of Akkoma drama.
