    Ooh I’ve got one! I wanna do a poll within this thread, so please respond with a spoiler tag so you don’t influence anyone’s answers.

    But what does IMHO mean to you?

    Comment below and then come back and read this:

    spoiler

    To me it means in my humble opinion, but it seems more and more these days I see people referring to it as in my honest opinion.

    Is this a coincidence? Or a commentary on how people have gotten more rude or self centered? IDK, I’m not qualified to answer. I just think it’s really interesting that it means both things, and it completely changes the vibe of what you’re saying if someone interprets it one way or the other.

    Yikes, kids are dumb lol.

    I never grew up around waves, so when my brother and I visited family on the coast and we were playing in the waves, other people wouldn’t join us. We were going further and further out. Finally we convinced the guy to join us, and no lie, he said he jokingly said “ok I guess I’ll die too”. We didn’t know what he meant. All three of us got stuck in a mild rip current. I almost drowned trying to swim directly into it. Nobody told me any different. My brother and the other guy were stronger swimmers, they were ok. It all happened very fast. We gave that guy an earful afterwards, he was like “I thought you knew” 🤦‍♂️

    Didn’t rip my hand off, but I definitely fell off one of those things, busted the back of my head open. I kind of… Fell backwards with my legs wrapped around the saddle, and hit the bottom edge with my head.

    Split open like a mouth.

    Rushed to the hospital. 23 stitches and 13 staples to close it up again. I have to have my hair cut a special way to hide the scar. People are always surprised when I show them.

    I still rode those things afterwards. Kids were tougher back then lol, had to be 🤷‍♂️

    It’s more stable. But as I understand, it doesn’t come with any proprietary drivers or blobs, so you’ve got to do an amount of tinkering and configuring to get it running for gaming. Especially if you’ve got Nvidia GPU.

    Whereas with nobara or bazzite, those features are baked in already, by professionals.

    You need them either way, so my question is, who do you trust more? Yourself? Or the developers behind the gaming oriented flavors of Fedora?

    I went with Bluefin, based on silverblue, based on Fedora. It has all the gaming stuff I need, plus like bazzite, it’s immutable (ish), so while it’s harder to do some stuff the normal Linux way, it’s also significantly more stable, because nothing I do or install ever touches the core operating system files. I can’t break anything, and this makes me happy 😁
