Meanwhile, when, as a little more than a basic user, I look at my system, feeling as if I’m dealing with a dumpster fire just to have that nagging recurrent insight: “I actually have a brain and can learn!”

I have two dogs and they bark at me in an unique way when requesting my attention or when I’m arriving home, so I expect that to be my “name” to them.

This is going to be a blast.

LMDE or plain Mint. Or just go for Debian.

I’ve seen human kibble and - please, take my word for it -cereal is a huge step above it.

This should have been done a long time ago.

I try to buy as much items as I can already flagged as being in end of shelf life (pink and orange tags in the supermarkets I shop at) but several times I was denied taking home items that had “expired” the day before.

I’m right there and I’m willing to take it home at my responsability! Hand it over!

My friend, comrade, brother, sister, fellow primate: you are a poet of sensory disaster and I sincerely applaud you.

I just finished dinner and I felt the need to go wash my mouth with brown Listerine.

I’ve already took a look at it bu on my phone it gets muddy. I have to take a break and sit at the computer to go in peth into all the information there.

What a ride!

I’ve been considering getting one of those for years but how do they fare with playing games.

I’m mostly a casual gamer but some require acting fast.

I’ll try to deactivate the touch pad, via software. But if that was the case, for the start, this behaviour would manifest. It started randomly, after a few weeks of use.

The mouse randomly clicking is noticeable already at the user log in screen, so I’m going to risk creating a new account will retain the strange behaviour.

You did manage to make me think there are two DEs on the machine and, maybe, by some weird event, there is an overlapping conflicting mouse controller.

Booting from a thumb drive is going to be very useful and I thank you for that suggestion. If the latest ISO running live replicates this behaviour, then there is the possibility there is a bug I can report.

Annoying but cute. I’m very careful with making sure the correct dongle is inserted in the computer.

I use a vertical mouse no one else is capable of using and all the other mice in the house are conventional.

There was a time where I regularly made a fool of myself by having more than one mouse connected.

Under the other OS both work fine. And it would be highly disapointing, as the bloody machine is near new.

You know, that possibility would be a lot more entertaining than whatever the real issue might be.

No, thankfully.

I abused debfoster for years… it kept my machines running very, very clean.

The look on her face is priceless and portrays a single, unmistakeable, message: “You lost a fine opportunity to keep silent but I’ll indulge you”.

Leaving a thank you for the information of another option. And FOSS.

Having more developers natively release for Linux implies removing influence from Windows and making more people realize it is a viable option for daily computer use.

It’s not just about gaming at this point, it’s about changing an entire paradigm and erode monopolies.

Can you imagine a Linux “monopoly” on personal computers? The dumb discussions about using Arch, Fedora, Debian or Suse? It would only be hot air escaping mouths because under the hood every development on one side is feeding improvement into the entire ecosystem.
