Had that on Garuda, reboot, restarting steam, even booting into debian didn't fix it. (Debian with totally different user directory and everything)

Then about a week later I put in a ticket with valve, was told to open a ticket on their GitHub for Linux, and before I could do that, the issue magically resolved itself. Very strange.

Just install the DE you want on the distro you want... You aren't limited in your DE by your selected distro, and you can have multiple installed. most of the time you have a drop down when you login that lets you pick your DE.

Granted, Fairphone had to entirely do the BSP and entire update themselves because the SoC vendor doesn't support A13.

The real issue here isn't with the OEMs it's the chip set vendors not supporting Android as long.

I suspect many of them aren't humble at all though.

The Fairphone. Fairphone 2 was updated from Android 5 through 10 (5 years on the latest version) Fairphone 3 started at 9 and is currently on Android 13, that's five years, and hasn't had it's last update yet.

That's two Android phones with at least 5 years on the latest OS, and Fairphone 2 got patch updates until this year, giving it support and updates from 2014 until 2023

I should look into how to do the rollbacks, I've noticed it doing snapshots but haven't needed to do that yet. Still should know before I do need it.

My worst problem so far was dual booting to Debian and having the efi entry for Garuda disappear and then not being able to get back easily without modifying debian's grub. Not fixable with snapshots but still simple enough for me to fix.

I've used arch for 7-8 years. I'm currently using Garuda for gaming, on year 2 or 3.

My recommendation is that if arch is working for you just fine, then don't bother switching. I only switched because I had a breakage and it seemed time to switch (only 2 significant breakages in those 7or 8 years)

If you hadn't started with arch I would in fact recommend Garuda first because the initial setup is much more hands free, start it and install stuff and it just works. Also Garuda comes preconfigured with an AUR setup and installers for that and for the glorious egg roll proton.

That is all crap you can simply set up yourself on arch, so there's no need for you to switch, if you're fine with the arch and slightly more manual configuration then you're all set with arch and have no real reason to change that.

Yeah, also the efficiency of electric just heating the surface that the pot is directly sitting on probably helps transfer the heat to the pot faster even if it isn't actually getting hotter than gas.

I'm quite happy with my electric I think the only thing that would be better is if I had an induction burner for when I want it really hot really quick.

I think it depends on the kind of gas stove for if it gets as hot, definitely agree to an extent, for gas stoves a lot of the heat is lost anyways due to dissipating into the air and not into the pan.

But I suspect if you've got one of those jet wok gas burners you're getting pretty darn hot.

[–] Coolcoder360 6 points 1 year ago

Be aware that the flames from a gas burner can go up around a small pot if they're turned up to high, so always double check that your pot is centered and the flames are on the bottom of the pot only and not going up the sides, to prevent accidents.

For similar reasons, don't leave wooden spoons in pots or pans unattended, my mom has a couple wooden cooking spoons that have burnt divots in the handle from being left in a pan or pot.

And maybe be a touch more careful when adding liquids to oil or using spray oils, they can and will flare up, unlike an electric where you can slop oil all over the surface and be mostly fine with just some smoke.

Happy to see firewater make it's way to lemmy. Would it be possible to repost and pin the pinned post that was on Reddit about methanol?

That was a really good resource I referenced a few times for people when there were questions about that.

I think white roads could be a problem with snow, usually the only good way to find the road in a snowstorm is to look for the darkness, no darkness and you can't tell the road from the ground covered in snow.
