This could be a good idea, I might mix in a few comics with more regular stories

I'll check them out, thanks!

I suppose I could start with Annie MG Schmidt and have Carry Slee as a goal to work towards then :)

Thats good then, I'll get started on her works then and take it from there :)

Thanks, yea I think I want something a bit more modern for the beginning, unless the language hasn't changed much? What do you think?

Next step: dismantle US bases in EU and send the terrorists back whence they came from

My advice is to plan for eventually ditching windows completely. Use it in the beginning while youre learning, for tasks that you need to get done but dont know how on linux, but once you get comfortable with the general linux stuff, i recommend ditching the crutch of windows. That way youll be forced to use linux, which is the only way youll learn how to do those things on it.

Its so much more convenient to have just one system, and also windows has been known to mess up linux installs (replaces bootloader with its own m$ one which doesnt recognise linux. Not too bad to fix but its a pain you dont need for ever)

How would I try to track the issue down given I don't exactly know when the issue will appear? Is there a way to set something like a listener on the discord process and just wait for it to happen and see what else happens around that time?

I just replied to someone else below with regards to the drive checks. I could also go ask on the arch forums, or maybe in some irc chats if theres people actually in there

I dont believe its a drive failure after checking. Its a pretty new NVMe drive:

As for flatpacks, I'd like to avoid such install methods if possible, at least for now. Whats weird is I don't think I've come across anyone else with this issue, so I doubt its something wrong in general with the packagement process.

Theyre the powerhouses of cells, so why shoulnt they be the ones reaping the rewards of their labour?

My first lemmy account was on an instance called iusearchlinux.fyi then it just disappeared suddenly and without explanation (admin probably burnt out). Anyway, it was nice to be able to tell people i use arch linux without actually having to tell them. I miss that instance
