90s was Mandrake, early 2000s was all about Ubuntu.

Since then I’ve tried just about everything including BSDs. It’s all pretty much the same thing, as long as you like the package manager and release schedule. I don’t like snap or flatpak so avoid distros that use them a lot.

These days I mainly just use opensuse leap, although I love arch etc but it’s just too much work for me now.

I only really need a terminal, firefox and emacs and I’m happy.

This year I discovered Norm Macdonald and I think he’s now my favourite.

Theo Vonn is also hilarious, not so much his stand up but in podcasts and general conversation.

Bill Burr is great too.

The dark crystal is the greatest fantasy movie of all time.

One of the reasons I think they hit different is because of the technology used to film them and the practical effects.

To me horror films from the 70s and before seem more real and scary than modern ones that are full of CGI and weird pallete swaps like when they film night scenes during the day and then darken them after. It just gives off this whole ‘this is a fake movie’ thing to me.

Encarta

OpenSuse Leap is my favourite distro.

Occasionally I try out others, some I really like, but I always end up back on leap.

I’m constantly trying out all the ones I can find but so far connect is the only one where I can customise the colours. I love me a sepia theme!

Luckily it’s also great in other ways.

I swear people that don’t watch trek think it’s just about lasers and technobabble.

I know people that refused to watch Discovery because ‘they made it all woke and now it’s all about women’.
