I respect Bunsenlabs for lacking the chaotic instability that I loved to hate about Crunchbang in high school, and which I hate to wish I could love as a busy adult requiring a stable system…

CrunchBang was my jam in late high school. I couldn’t believe how much more lightweight it was compared to Lubuntu, which had been my main for years due to having a potato laptop

I used SketchUp growing up and it ruined my brain

Now it’s a warped husk of what it used to be so all I can do is cry while staring at FreeCAD tutorials until I give up and smash together a barely usable STL in OpenSCAD or TinkerCAD

that’s so much more in depth than the lemmy post I saw 😭

I read this as “tilting window manager” and was about to get so upset. That diagonal monitor meme has infected my brain

Anecdotally and perhaps of interest, my current workplace uses a regular Dell PC running lightly customised 10-year-old OpenSUSE. It’s a UI control interface for a large machine

Because the machine’s expensive and production-critical, the PC isn’t allowed to be connected to any networks (security airgap). It’s sort of the antithesis of most corporate Linux usage: constantly online servers that do very little direct user interface
