  • Primarily Garuda these days. It’s basically Arch with some user-friendly additions. The major reason I tried it on a then-new gaming laptop was the actually really good IME hardware detection and minimal fuss NVIDIA setup using their latest drivers.

    I was having enough headaches trying to get graphics actually working properly on the Debian-based distro I had been using, that I said fuck it and tried something that would hopefully get things working for me so that I could at least see that configuration to figure out where I’d been going wrong. Then I liked it enough that I have mostly just stayed there on this machine. (Did finally get things fixed on the other side, though.) But, I was already fine with Arch, which probably helps.


  • I still need to rack off another batch that’s taking up a good chunk of my brewing corner. But, the next batch planned for hopefully this weekend is a hoochy melomel concoction involving some frozen strawberries that need cleared out and compatible fruity-flavored black tea. (Kobbs Sörgårdste) It may also get some blackcurrant drink concentrate if that seems like a good idea flavorwise.

    I was wanting to get a test batch of some Thai black rice and blueberry Franken-doburoku going, but the pressure cooker I’ve been using for glutinous rice has decided not to seal properly even after a gasket replacement. I don’t feel like messing around with steaming wholegrain rice on the stove, so that’ll just have to wait until I can troubleshoot and fix that/snag a second cooker. May need to wait for next month on that one.
