Im messing around with my virtual machines, and seeing how close I can get each linux desktop environment to the windows 11 layout :3. I dunno why, I don't even like the windows GUI, but it's been fun seeing how "complicated" it is and how close I can get in each with minimal effort

That sounds fun. What’s your hypervisor?

It's KVM :3. Im just running virt-manager with QEMU, so it's the most bog-standard setup you can imagine for virtualization lol

Today is Autism zoo day, Which is a good networking opportunity for other people in the community. Good Social practice. Good people.

But I’m going to be late because there’s a public mountain bike ride and I’ve always wanted to do a mountain bike group ride. I usually have to go by myself because I don’t have a group. I have a lot of difficulty with language, and it makes it hard to find people. My dyspraxia/apraxia makes it hard to keep up with “serious” riders, but I’m too intense for most beginners to keep up with me. Today, I’m going to try to go with the advanced group and see how they do it.
