    Not Arch though. It would say so.

    The useless tiny lawn:tree/shrub ratio in this neighborhood is extremely depressing.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

    I've seen doormats that look more alive than this lawn...

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

    So are the brick veneers and cookie-cutter layouts

    [–] Peck 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Damn right. The first thing I thought when I saw that pic. What a nightmare. Thought of walking my dog or kids on that street makes me depressed.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

    I feel overheated just looking at the picture.

    The grass looks like my doormat:

    Now I want a distro named "Giant Linux" that's the opposite of Tiny Core Linux

    [–] Ozonowsky 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Includes all drivers, every app and library from repositories, and all of flathub and snap store.

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Yas you get it! Which desktop do you want? All of them 😎

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I tried that once. Forget which distro. It didn't update well.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I seem to remember a distro that was like this by default, like you installed everything then removed the stuff you didn't need.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

    Excise Linux sounds metal AF.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    This would be very useful for offline installation.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

    There's Endless OS, which goes in that sort of direction. It includes even a good chunk of Wikipedia, so you can just install it on PCs and ship those PCs into regions where they don't have internet.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

    Bruh, why the fuck is the grass length in the negatives? no surprise its fucking shit brown. america smh.

    [–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (7 children)

    Because it’s winter. I don’t know what you expected.

    [–] TwanHE 11 points 1 month ago (7 children)

    Your guys grass isn't green all year round?

    [–] d00phy 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Also, generally speaking, I would agree that lawn is cut way too short, but again it depends on the grass. Bermuda kind of likes being kept short. St. Augustine looks better when it’s a bit longer.

    [–] AA5B 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I’ve always heard it recommended to cut short after it goes dormant. It helps the grass come back quickly in the spring and cuts down on thatch.

    That does look really short though

    [–] d00phy 2 points 1 month ago

    Interesting. I always thought you cut it short in fall to allow light to get to new seed. I thought the best way to dethatch was a power rake.

    [–] d00phy 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    Depends on the grass. Some go dormant in the colder months. Some don’t. In the south, St Augustine and Bermuda grasses are pretty popular. Both will go dormant if the area gets a decent winter. In the mid-Atlantic region, you’ll see tall Fescue handle winter just fine.

    I'm not sure why it is cut so short. However, it doesn't hurt anything as the grass is dormant.

    I think this is my neighborhood. If not, it might as well be.

    [–] meliaesc 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Plant a tree, it looks so... civilized.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I planted an oak and a redbud this year. In a couple decades they'll look okay, I hope. Literally have to wrap them with special paper to keep them from getting sunburned while they are small.

    This area naturally only grows trees along creek beds. The natural plants are Blackland Prairie- tall grasses and "weeds." The HOA would have a cow if I let it go natural.

    [–] t_chalco 2 points 1 month ago

    Redbud. Blackland Prairie. Semi-ostentatious mega-houses. I see you north DFW suburbs.

    ew, Red Hat

    it's more likely they're a regular-sized linux user and it's only their inflatable penguin which is giant

    Threatening HOA notice in 3... 2.. 1.

    I don't think I've ever seen that kind of bloat with Linux.

    This is what happens if you modprobe *
