  • I Dunno man I think this is really one where just not going to bowlero would do the trick. Maybe it’s different because I’m in the midwest, but there are plenty of places way better and cheaper than bowlero and I think the local populous knows. Because the bowlero by me is only ever full if a company is doing an event there. Otherwise the general consensus is “wtf no I don’t want to go to the loud dark bowling alley with 9 dollar drinks and microwave wings”


  • I agree, and on paper you are correct. But also I have moved to the “it’s the thought that counts” side of things. It seems to be more effective politicking these days to try and ram through something like an abortion EO and use the inevitable opposition (and legal?) pushback to say “see I’m fuckin trying over here” rather than to just stand there idly brandishing “plans” this is something the left needs to learn from the right. See the senate: Chuck Schumer should have started impeachment inquiries into Alito and Thomas yesterday, knowing full well they aren’t actually going anywhere. It puts the issue in front of people.

    I went through Ubuntu, Nobara, manjaro, mint, pop, Ubuntu again, and landed on open suse. I have no exotic hardware. My biggest issue was the pc going into hibernate and then never coming back. The secondary issue was getting certain games on steam to work and an Xbox controller. I seem to have all of that licked with suse and some tinkering. The battle I’m having now is when the pc goes to sleep/hibernate/whatever sometimes it completely forgets it’s monitor settings and I have to turn the second monitor back on and then change them from 200% back to 100%. Which I thought I had solved by messing with the monitors.config file but I guess not…

    Asus rog m16 laptop if that helps any.


  • I’ve had very bad luck trying to ditch windows. I’ve been through 6 or 7 different distros trying to find one that works properly with my pc. Somehow I’ve landed on open suse? That one seems to be cooperating, for the most part, for now. This whole experience has really showed me that Linux doesn’t “just work” for normal people though, and anyone who is adamant about that doesn’t understand the general populations capabilities.
