I tried to go with Bazzite on my wife's old PC. Fuck knows what happened, but I could not get it to recognise that I'd downloaded the image with the Nvidia drivers built in.

Ended up giving up and rolling Kubuntu. I know Kubuntu and like it. And it works beautifully. Back in the world of RDR2 now, and loving it.

Its become abundantly clear to me over the past few years that Linux is in place where, to get significant share it needs to have a major figurehead. Imagine if all ThinkPads suddenly were only available with Lenovo's own fork. That kind of thing.

Unfortunateoy, that's kinda the opposite of Linux ethos, and not necessarily likely to make Lenovo much money.

So the best we can really hope for at this point is a company with the brand awareness of Valve pushing SteamOS into the mainstream. People who play games know and generally trust Valve, so people (like my wife) who are on the fence, or who just need their computer to work without needing too much faffing, could likely trust SteamOS in a way they wouldn't necessarily trust Bazzite or CachyOS.

When rewatching you're essentially waiting for Brendanawicz to Brandenaquitz so the show can start getting good.

Shows that fit this bill for me:

Schitt's Creek Breaking Bad

Schitt's Creek in particular, from S02 onwards they really locked in to what we ended up loving about the Roses, which was there in S01 but not so clear. As a result, S02 on is damn near perfect.

Hmm, I'll have to dig back into it, figure out where I went wrong.

I can't afford shares on account of the aforementioned grossly inflated bills.

Besides, I shouldn't have to be a shareholder to not be treated like shit.

As in you have a fully operational Windows installation that you can boot into, alongside another fully bootable OS?

Because that would be incredibly useful, but I was damned if could work it out.

Perhaps, but they can't lock the bootloader on my Pixel 9 that's not running Google's version of Android.

This is my problem with fining the companies: ultimately it's us that pays the fines through grossly inflated bills, while the shareholders make out like bandits.

I discovered Ventoy a couple of months back, and spent far too long trying to work out how to use it to carry portable installations of both Kubuntu and Windows. But nope, can't be done (so far as I can tell). Which is a shame, but hey ho.

But yeah, for carrying around installers it's absolutely bang on.

He published his memoirs a couple of weeks back. It's a good read.
