So I just built myself a new computer, and I am running Nobara. So far, so good! I was wondering, how do I enable that biscuit theme? It looks like that Hyprland thing does not work for me. Sorry I am terribly a noob at Linux.

Heck yeah I would love to never use the terminal. The terminal is the biggest roadblock for me adopting Linux. I never, ever want to open it. If I have to open it, Linux has failed for me as a windows replacement.

I want to try Linux again, and I have dipped my toes many times, but the terminal is the major block for me, a slightly above average pc user.

You don’t really plant them, you get eggs on little strips of paper that you hang on your plants. Super easy!

Lacewing! Super beneficial insect! I try to grow them every year in my garden. They eat aphids and other pests on plants. It’s a friend :)

I need to build a new pc soon. Mine is currently 10 years old and it’s showing its age. I just don’t know what motherboard manufacturer to go with! I’m currently using an asus mobo that has been great and solid for a decade, but… I want to support a good company.

Woah, this is really nice and cool. Was just browsing all on Lemmy and it showed up. I haven’t taken a dive into Linux, but I have dipped my toes in the last two decades, and dang it, I want to try it now.

The simplistic elegance that a nice theme can offer like this gives me peace and calm, and makes me feel welcome. Linux can be so intimidating, and many themes are harsh, this just makes the whole system seem approachable and friendly.

Looks fantastic, and saved for my future self!

Hi neighbor! Believe it or not, I walk by your house all the time and always tell my wife I love it :)

As for what you can do, I know you said you're southern exposure with a lot of sun, but I can tell you that I would consider your home and even that front mostly shaded.

Now is a good time to mulch with some good compost. We’ve been seeing good results with just getting some black kow from Home Depot.

Additionally, I was just there yesterday, but The Farm in Green Village (by Morristown) is open and they'll soon have plants in their shade section. Very helpful people there too. Definitely worth the trip.

Also, we have a ton of deer, and your arborvitae look like tell-tale signs of deer nibbling. They can’t reach the top so just eat out the middle. I got a motion detected sprinkler to scare them off a few years ago and that seems to help.

Small world, especially on Lemmy!

He absolutely could break his contract. Many, if not all contracts, have exit clauses for both drivers and teams to separate. While we don’t know the details of the contracts and the clauses, they definitely exist.

I’d love to see max somewhere else just for the shakeup!

Leases have buyout clauses attached to them. I assume it means they will take 7500 off your buyout price after lease is up.

Nah we upgraded after a few years. But ME was a struggle! Had so many crashes in Diablo 2 and EverQuest. Thats all that mattered to me.

My parents bought a new mouse when I was a kid back in the early 2000s cause we had a crappy view sonic one that came with the pc. The new one was a Microsoft one and it didn’t work cause it needed xp and we had ME. Back to the viewsonic mouse it was for another 20 years until I bought them a Logitech wireless one on a pc I built for them a few years ago.

Wild how the cheap stuff works well for so many years!

Boeing could use them on their door plug nuts.
