I'm definitely going to at least try nixos. I've been reading tbe manual since yesterday and it looks pretty nice.

Ok, thanks.

I didn't buy it. I'm just inheriting it from someone that doesn't want it and isn't really tech savvy at all. They're dropping it off on their way through town heading elsewhere. Easier just to check myself when it arrives than try to explain how to find out for me. I just know it's running windows (10 if I had to guess).

I do like lisp a lot. If I were on my desktop, I'd probably be writing this in emacs.

My only experience with NixOS was vicariously through the SystemCrafters guy, who seemed to have no end of trouble with pretty much everything during his youtube videos, but NixOS is kind of intriguing. How is it for software availability?

This is a very good point (about DisttoWatch). Thanks for reminding me.

Helix for really quick edits, emacs for pretty much anything else. I do use tridactyl in firefox though, does that count? 😁

I've heard some of the captcha bypass libraries do that because it's a lot easier to process speech than images.

That's what the headphones icon is for...audio captcha.

I figured it'd taker longer to get to the Manna stage of things, but here we are...

Just chill out and talk. If you don't get stuff, ask. Decent people will explain stuff to you, especially if they know you legitimately struggle with it.

Total Launcher is where I landed.

Also, Heliboard is a pretty decent keyboard.

I use OsmAnd+, works fine for me.

Disclaimer: I don't often go to places I'm unfamiliar with so I don't need directions very often, but when I do it seems to get the job done. YMMV.
