I have only one strict rule: I see the Moomin comic, I upvote it.

Mostly I just install Skyrim mods manually because I’m insane I guess, but for some games I like to run Mod Organizer 2 under proton. Your whole linux filesystem can be made accessible to windows programs, not sure if it is by default. But anyway since we’re talking steam games here the game itself normally will be in the same place as usual, as far as windows programs know.

If they go through with this I’ll switch to Hannah Montana Linux.

Don’t do it at this time of year.

You’re not really living with as much free software as possible until you’ve installed all of the 103818 packages in debian.

For me it was when we all started having regular Satanic death metal sex parties, the left wing was pretty boring before that.

Sure, but don’t forget to include the basics such as the root name servers: Verisign(A), USC-ISI, Cogent, U of Maryland, NASA Ames, ISC, Defence Information Systems Agency, US Army Research Lab, Netnod, Verisign(J), RIPE, ICANN, WIDE

Similar things could be said about things like “real” and “official.”

Hm, someone claiming to be Vaxry says it’s real, it’s not April fool’s day, the link is to the domain that’s on their github page, it’s still up however many hours later… well that was unexpected.
