Are you my wife? I didn't know you were on Lemmy!

To quit vim is simple!

Just get a second computer, network with the first one, SSH into the first one, find the process ID of vim, and pkill! Easy as pie!

I feel like I should throw in a good word for Fedora. I run a combination of dnf and flatpak, and have a grand time, and am doing an IT diploma program aimed very solidly at Windows under Fedora. I've used Ubuntu, Mint, and Manjaro, and landed on Fedora for my desktop experience.

Mine is misreading usernames and thinking someone who posted this was an insane carp or cod.

Wait... New answer! I'd give them to the first guy who replied to me on Lemmy! He would be very appreciative.

It is unseasonably warm in Calgary at the moment. That was last week!

I second this. I help people at the library with their computer stuff, and it gets me out of the house and makes me feel like I am contributing. Much underrated feeling.

There are a lot of good sellers of corporate leasebacks out there... A five year old ThinkPad is going to kick butt over anything new with a Celeron. I'm a student, and I got an MSI workstation with an i7-9750H, 16GB RAM, 256GB NVME, and a garbage battery for 250$ CAD. That's less than 200$ USD.

Welcome!

This is my take: most people are decent. There are bad eggs, but generally, they got your back. If you're trying to get settled, the libraries are a good place for help. Free wifi, books, games, that sort of thing. Our local library helps with getting paperwork sorted and resumes written, so, yeah.

So glad you're coming here!

Fun fact: one of the symptoms I get of migraine is the inability to ignore smells. At all. Cat owners? Your house smells like ammonia. Cologne wearers? You still stink underneath the cloying odor. Cleaning products? Smell forever. I get to choose between smelling my own halitosis or the unbearable mint odor for hours on end.

I second the proxmox nomination! I use a fair amount of Ubuntu and Fedora, and with Proxmox, you just spin up whatever you want, whenever you want it. I currently have a machine with a few % of your machine's specs, and I'm running WordPress, jellyfin, pihole, LMDE, and a couple Ubuntu desktops (Mate and Gnome) on different VMs, all at once, like they're running on bare metal.

Monster Hunter World. 80$, 1600 hours and counting. I'll finish it one day. Yes, I know I'm playing it wrong.
