Did anyone else think, “Why doesn’t Bytha just pull a House Quark and marry, then immediately divorce M’Benga?”

Although I guess M’Benga, unlike Quark, can’t pull the “This isn’t an honorable combat. This is an execution!”

I’m sad about the TAS episode not being a thing, I’m sad about the puppets being muppets instead of practical creatures, but also, this episode just seems like fun.

It almost reminds me of the Christmas episode of Eureka that was really fun, but may have single-handedly brought the series overbudget. That show was fun, with some flaws:

• Some of the worst autism representation I have seen on television.
• It could never decide if it was a comedy or a drama, although that wishy-washiness sometimes worked in its favor, such as when they decided to stir up the plot by creating an alternate timeline… twice.

Assuming she hasn’t bought it yet, please research that Yoga first. It might work fine, but it could also end up being a miserable experience.

You can check https://linux-hardware.org/ for the model or a similar one.

Oh, I too enjoyed the musical episode. In case I wasn’t clear, I meant was the musical episode was placed AFTER a string of really depressing episodes to lighten the mood a bit, and I bet they’ll do the same with this one.

Fun, but when I first heard my mother utter the words “Jim Henson collaboration”, I was hoping it would be really cool practical effects alien creatures, though I guess Farscape already did that.

Who bets this will be placed after a new record for most depressing episode in the franchise like they did with the musical?

No, I mean TinyCore literally would run out of RAM during boot.

Like others have said, Debian probably isn’t a bad idea.

I feel like it would be kind of stupid to run a full-on desktop environment even though technically possible, though - I think this is a good use for IceWM.

Also, at worst, you might have a really low power server.

I think less than 64MB is difficult these days - a few years ago, I was backing up a laptop with 48MB of RAM, and to get a minimal Linux terminal running on it, I had to create a custom Buildroot image and throw it on a CD. TinyCore was too much for it.

Yeh. It’s a very 2000s kid thing.

A more apt comparison would be using the Windows guest to remote into the Linux host via xorg piping, waypipe, VNC, RDP, etcetera, which conveys your feeling of weirdness while being a closer approximation of what this really does.

Has anyone else ever seen the resemblance:

It’ll definitely be a difficult undertaking, but I plan on really trying to have a 5.25” bay when I build another PC.

That probably won’t be for a couple more years, though. I’m on a Ryzen 5 2600 and RX 580, and I really don’t do that much intense gaming; a GPU upgrade is tempting so I can actually use ROCm for some casual Blender Cycles renders, though. I hope that the already dismal supply of those 5.25 cases doesn’t dwindle even more.

Besides the corrections others have said, I really can’t think of any reason people would intentionally use legacy BIOS on a machine with UEFI for a new install.

Like, I could get doing it for an old install - I know someone who installed Windows 7 in 2015 on their then-new desktop build and later upgraded to 10 but is stuck on legacy BIOS for now with that machine because 7 only ran on that.

I could see something similarly jank happening to someone in the Linux world and then decide not to address it for “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it reasons”, but certainly not for no reason.

I just ripped the Blu-Ray drive from my father’s PC since he wasn’t using it.

Since my machine doesn’t have 5.25” bays, I just have SATA cables dangling out the side of the case. I’ve probably ripped more CDs than Blu-Rays, though.

Do you have data on the Windows partition?

Either way, a good way to do it might be to use dd (or a different disk image tool) to copy your Linux installation partitions to a portable hard drive, and make sure the image works. Then wipe the drive and copy the Linux partitions back to it via dd or another imaging tool.

As others have said, you should probably replace your CPU fan ASAP.

A computer in usable condition does not shut down without user input.

The no restart is kind of awesome. WebGPU progress is also great, even if not on Linux yet.

As said on the Daystrom crosspost, the bartender is the first live action appearance of an Edosian, dirst introduced in TAS.

Reminds me of when I threw Debian Trixie on my freshly decommissioned high school Chromebook - with Bcachefs. Luckily, it wasn’t a daily driver, just a toy; the thing had an AMD Stoney Ridge APU that you had to use special compiler flags on to get working.

I think good, truly easy video editors are a dying breed. I loved Windows Live Movie Maker - rest in peace.

These days, I think it’s worth it just to learn a video editor. A lot of the skills transfer; I haven’t used DaVinci before, but I’ve used other major proprietary professional video editors like Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro - the skills transfer. Just search how to do a thing you want to do a few times, and you’ll find it gets easier.

As others have said, I think KDEnlive is quite good; I haven’t had a huge amount of stability issues. From what I remember (granted, I may be out of date), OpenShot felt really jank in general; I used Shotcut for a while but had stability issues and UI annoyances. Comparatively, I enjoy KDEnlive.
