  • Endeavour is great, I daily it and as a Linux noob it’s been very forgiving. My only annoyance is that I’ve been having some issues with the display where sometimes I’ll wake it up and will only get a black screen and no means of doing anything to fix it. My laptop also really doesn’t like me using any other DEs besides Budgie.




  • cups is pain

    It’s hilarious because it was FAR easier for me to get printing going on my Linux machine than with W10. It’s an old printer, 1320n from HP, maybe 15 years old, but the damn thing is amazing for document printing, and I had to hunt for drivers and do a lot of compatibility shit to get my computer to recognize it. Arch (EndeavourOS) seemed to just natively recognize the printer and gave me zero fuss. When I was using Ubuntu, I used CUPS and it wasn’t terrible. I liked it better than driver fishing, for sure.












  • I miss winter more and more every year. I remember as a high schooler (early 2010s) being faced with those intense, magic Midwestern winters with 24"+ of snow, continuous weather between 0–20F, snow on ground for practically the entirety of December through as late as March or even April… Those days are gone. Winters now are a blink, and they’re wet more often than snowy. We get a flash freeze way down to -20 or lower, horrible days that you can’t even go outside, then it slings back to 40s and it all melts again.

    The crocuses and daffodils are already blooming and it isn’t even April yet. I’m afraid my son is never going to experience the winters his dad did.
