Mandrake 7 was the first one I installed on my pc. In those days you could buy a boxed version with about 10 cds to install from.

When I was about 9 my family went to the jorvik viking center in York. They had a ride thingy where you could be driven around a realistic viking settlement and whatever the fuck they used to make the realistic smells of smelly vikings and pig shit really fucked me up. No one else was that bothered but I couldn't eat properly for days.

I'm guessing whatever chemical they used really didn't sit well with me. It must have had a pretty extreme effect because that was 31 years ago and it was the first thing that popped in my mind when I saw this question.

But is this garlic from another dimension?

Thanks, I should know that, I've seen every episode!

In a kind of sad way he does have a happy ending. I just don't want it to happen to him. Poor old Pike!

I'm constantly trying out all the ones I can find but so far connect is the only one where I can customise the colours. I love me a sepia theme!

Luckily it's also great in other ways.

Interesting!

How many lights and what do you mean you could see the outline? Outline of the lights or something else?

A very TOS episode that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Can we let La'an have a few happy moments in this season? That woman must be riddled with PTSD by now.

It was great to finally get Pike back! Has he ever told his girlfriend that he's almost certainly going to be disabled? What a pickle he's in. I think if I were in his shoes I would have let the relationship end. The guilt must be driving him insane.

I feel like they might be messing around with the timelines so that they can save Pike from his horrendous fate and just say it's an alternate timeline compared to TOS. Normally I'd be against that, but it's Pike and I love him so much that I almost want them to do it.

I always end back up on leap when all the other distros piss me off, and I always wonder why I even bothered with anything else. It just works for me.

It is one of the best KDE distros, the yast config took is brilliant, the installer is great, it has fast servers in Europe (fedora installs and updates are way slower for me) and on top of all that it has a cool and instantly recognisable logo.

The only real nagative in my experience of opensuse is the long install times.

I am a pretty simple user though, I only really use Firefox and Emacs.

No way! Opensuse has always been perfect for me, I do usually use leap though.

I like it, it's an Ubuntu lts with a nice theme (I wish it had grey instead of just black and white though), wine integration to run compatible windows software and it's always just worked for me.

I don't like the fact that some things are locked out unless you pay for the pro version but I think that's just layouts and stuff.

I'd say it's good but like all of these Ubuntu derivatives you're almost always better off just using Ubuntu. Even people changing from windows to Linux, I'd still just tell them to use Ubuntu.

Wefwef is pretty good

Everyone is going to buy up all the toilet roll again for no reason.
