No problem! I will say that even thought it's quite a bit more expensive, I wish I would have started all our cats out on wet food. We have 2 senior cats (14) and we just got a new kitten last year. He had some health problems which required him to be on wet food. Once he was on it, it was unfair to not put the others on it as well (not that they would have let us anyway, it's like a treat for them every day)

Our cats get wet food morning and night, and dry food available all day. They munch on the dry food occasionally, but they are now in love with wet. ~6oz of wet food per day for each of them

Will look into it, thank you!

I used it for quite a while, but with most of the Google apps. One morning RCS chat stopped working and would not reconnect, since I use RCS for texting most people I'm back on stock for now. I know it's not graphenes fault, but I didn't want to have to keep dealing with Google randomly disabling stuff. Up until then, everything worked as it was described

Reinstalled Arch. I had used Arch way back in 2006, but fell out of Linux because I primarily game. Now that proton has improved so much, I dropped my windows install completely. I have tumbleweed on my desktop but decided to try a real Arch install on my laptop. I appreciate how easy tumbleweed was to create an encrypted lvm with snapper rollback, but wanted to understand it a little more instead of having a GUI do it all for me.

Last night I successfully installed Arch with an "luks on lvm" setup, and was able to successfully boot! I didn't quite get snapper working 100% either rEFInd, but I think I'm close.

I definitely appreciate how easy Linux is to install now, but it's good to know I can do it the hard way if I need to, and learn some things along the way.

My Framework 16 is arriving Monday! And I use Tumbleweed on my desktop. I currently use clonezilla every couple days and am starting to mess around with some other distros, but I keep coming back to Tumbleweed. My desktop is mostly for gaming, and it has pretty new hardware, so I like to have more leading edge packages.

I keep trying NixOS, and while I like it and it's cool, I have a mouse capture issue in World of Warcraft that I just can't solve, so it's taking a back seat. Also tried Bazzite, but had some issues during install, so didn't try it much. Currently trying endeavour, I've been using Arch off and on since 08, it's nice.

But Tumbleweed just works. It has sane defaults, updates frequently, has snapper just in case something goes wrong (but other distros can do that too), has yast for people that like it, but I've been trying to run some benchmarks between endeavour and Tumbleweed and I can't really tell a difference.

You can use gconnect on gnome

I started with Gentoo in college back in 2004. I recently got rid of my windows partition and am rocking tumbleweed

Bought a litter robot 4, wouldn't do it again for the price. It's a pain to clean and the cats are always peeing/pooping on the sides. It constantly stopped it cleaning cycle, and ended up growing a ton of bugs inside because the design had some cat poop inside the machine where I couldn't get to it. I had to dismantle the entire thing taking out every screw to clean it. It's currently sitting in my basement. I left a similar review on their website and they decided not to post it, I guess they don't like unfavorable reviews.

I tried it out on my Pixel 8 Pro but I'm back on stock. I'm trying to be more privacy focused, but I use a lot of Google apps still, so I had almost everything enabled from Google anyways, so I might as well stay on stock for now. It was neat, but I didn't notice any battery improvements, which is also what I was looking for

I use tumbleweed, but I had a strange issue with the flatpak version of heroic launcher. I ran a benchmark of cyberpunk 2077 with the flatpak heroic, and was averaging 100 fps. I had nixos installed on a separate hard drive and that benchmark was 160 fps. I thought there was an issue with opensuse, but I installed the flatpak version of heroic on nixos and also got 100 fps. So I installed the regular version on tumbleweed and have 160 fps. I would keep that in mind when looking at programs to launch games, whether it's wine, bottles, heroic, lutris, etc

I had heroic games launcher as a flatpak and my FPS was 33% lower than a native install of heroic
