  • I used Aeon from RC2 to RC3 iirc. Until the introduction of encrypted drives mashed my system and i suddenly had secure boot key problems or something. It was a year ago so I can’t remember exactly, but it worked beautifully until then.

    So I moved on. But Aeon is really good, probably the best immutable desktop experience, if you can stomach GNOME as a daily driver (I couldn’t wait to jump back to plasma after I lost my Aeon setup). Richard Brown is opinionated but generally sensible about its development too.

    I haven’t kept up with Kalpa development since last year, but the last I tried it was the same problem it’s always had; lack of development. It’s was years behind Aeon then and unless things have changed it’ll have likely gotten worse. The problems being that Rich Brown has great development and contributors to Aeon, while Mr Falken does not with Kalpa (or did not! Hopefully he has gotten some traction with it).

    Good write up here as well from around that time. I haven’t had a chance to check out the article you linked though. https://sfalken.tech/posts/2024-06-08-how-do-aeon-and-kalpa-relate/

  • CachyOS and Endeavour OS are the two common Arch derivatives - basically “Arch in easy mode”. They’re both very good.

    Manjaro is another but it brings its own set of problems that I never have the time or patience to deal with.

    I’m using CachyOS now since October. I’m enjoying it and haven’t come across any issues yet that weren’t easily fixed.

    This is the first time in 5 years I haven’t been on opensuse.

  • Manjaro is significantly worse with updates breaking.

    I used for a little while in 2018 and again in 2019, both times ended because it once became stuck in a boot loop after updates, and another time couldn’t boot after updates.

  • I like to recall some wise words of Christmas in these dark times:

    Here’s the deal, newbie. You can stuff your stocking with shiny little toys from now until you grow some testicles, but until that stocking is filled with friendship, loyalty, love and devotion, well.. it’s just plumb empty.

    And no, you can’t purchase those things at Laura Ashley. And no, you can’t win them in the red book giveaway extravaganza. And, gee, I’m sure if these aren’t things that you can wind up and watch spin for eight hours.

    Let me make this exceptionally clear. Christmas is about love. You can’t live without other people’s love. Not during Christmas, not ever.

    So go spend this time with your friends and family. And if they laugh at you, laugh with them. And if they laugh at you again, hit them and go find some new friends. But for the love of god, jesus, Mary, and Joseph and his technicolor dreamcoat, don’t ever ever forget this, newbie. You have to give love to get love. So start giving. Now.

  • My grandma lives in Silverdale, a short walk from Warragamba dam.

    There used to be an amusement park there with caged lions. I remember it vaguely from when I was about 5 years old I guess.

    But it shutdown and they just left the lions there, fenced into the bushland between the dam and Silverdale. Growing up we’d stay with her every school holidays, and you could hear them roar every so often.

    Those bushlands don’t exist anymore. It’s another shitty housing development now.

  • While I understand the show had a cult appeal in many countries; Monkey (the live action Journey To The West adaptation from the 70/80s) must have had a pretty big surge in Australia when I was a kid.

    I’ve heard new zealanders around my age and older talk about it the same way, but not really people from other countries who tend to remember it for being lame/cheesy but don’t seem to have much attachment to it.
