TrueCrypt, my beloved. Such an amazing set of features and super easy to use. I so wish there was a modern open-source equivalent with the same intuitive approach. I especially liked the ability to do fancy stuff like disguising data with a false password or using any file as the key.
POWERTHIRST reference in the wild? I’m shocked.
It’s the IPv6 of joinlemmy.com
Hey folks! Check me out over on

It’s not the installation I fail on. It’s that 3-4 months after installation, my installation is so bespoke that I don’t even know how to make a forum post on it anymore.
I did mention I can install it by hand, but I hardly gain any benefit by doing so other than clout. And I don’t give a hoot about clout.
Someone could write a book…
The Joys of Distro-Hopping
I tried running Bazzite for a few months, but just kept running into one weird issue after another. Went to Endeavor and they all went away overnight.
I’m technical enough that I can configure Arch from scratch, but simply can’t be bothered. I just need my computer to work. Every day.
I felt like when I was working with Arch, and I’m sure it’s operator error, it was like maintaining a starship with a dozen systems that could individually go wrong and I was responsible for all of them. Endeavor was fully setup with no weirdness in less than 30 minutes.
I would press the button on every billboard

Isn’t this how gods worked in Terry Pratchett’s books?

Tap for spoiler
You turn on the first switch for a minute or two, turn it off, and turn on the second switch. If the bulb is on, it’s obviously the second switch. If the bulb is off and warm, it’s the first switch. If it’s cold, it’s the third switch.
Oddly not that difficult
Honestly, this could be referring to most open-source projects. I’d imagine many of the popular ones were originally made to solve a problem for themselves and then everyone jumps onboard with that solution.
Linux itself also kinda fits here considering it was meant to just sort of be a small project in the beginning and I doubt Linus ever could have predicted what it became.
I’ve been everywhere from a piecemeal Arch setup with a minimal desktop all the way to a Mint pleb. I’ve pretty much settled on EndeavourOS. It’s really impressed me with its dummy simple setup and OOB experience. Not to mention very few issues getting games to run even with an nVidia card.
