It's just a general system setup and config tool. I'm assuming that, like me, you already know how to do all that stuff without yast but it's good for newbies and people that aren't super nerds. With all of the anti terminal stuff I always read about on the internet you'd think at least ubuntu would have their own version of it or something similar.

"YaST is a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server tool that provides a graphical interface for all essential installation and system configuration tasks. Whether you need to update packages, configure a printer, modify firewall settings, set up an FTP server, or partition a hard disk—you can do it using YaST."

But yeah, I actually hardly ever use it myself.

The dark crystal is the greatest fantasy movie of all time.

One of the reasons I think they hit different is because of the technology used to film them and the practical effects.

To me horror films from the 70s and before seem more real and scary than modern ones that are full of CGI and weird pallete swaps like when they film night scenes during the day and then darken them after. It just gives off this whole 'this is a fake movie' thing to me.

I haven't tried for years but vst's are pure pain on Linux.

Have you tried bitwig studio? It has a native Linux version and is incredible. Vst will still be shit (if they are even supported) but if you master bitwig you probably won't even need them.

Yep I read about that when I first looked into exwm and it is a problem. I'm lucky though, I only really use emacs and firefox so it's not a big deal for me. I wouldn't want to be using exwm if I was doing some serious multitasking and using video editing software or something. I don't know if there are plans for a multithread rewrite of emacs but I hope it happens.

I'm going to set up lem.el at some point! I currently use elfeed to see lemmy posts from the communities I'm most interested in and firefox to comment or just browse about. I actually saw this post from inside elfeed originally.

For the tables you can do 'M-x org-table-create' which then asks you for dimensions and makes it for you.

I think org-capture might help you with the other stuff, you can set up templates and access them by pressing 'C-c c' and get it all inserted in whatever org file and under whatever heading you want.

OpenSuse Leap is my favourite distro.

Occasionally I try out others, some I really like, but I always end up back on leap.

Mine was really easy (dell chromebook 11), just followed the instructions and I had no problems. I have another chromebook with an amd chipset that I can't change the firmware on though (last time I checked), so if you're planning to buy one to convert make sure you actually can do it first.

I always end back up on leap when all the other distros piss me off, and I always wonder why I even bothered with anything else. It just works for me.

It is one of the best KDE distros, the yast config took is brilliant, the installer is great, it has fast servers in Europe (fedora installs and updates are way slower for me) and on top of all that it has a cool and instantly recognisable logo.

The only real nagative in my experience of opensuse is the long install times.

I am a pretty simple user though, I only really use Firefox and Emacs.

Kirk was superb, I don't think I could have accepted the car scene if it was anyone else. It's Kirk, of course he's going to drive like a nutter. I was genuinely shocked when he got shot. I thought there couldn't possibly be a way for him to make it but they still got me.

La'an has grown on me so much, she was the one I was most dubious about in the early episodes of season one. I felt really sorry for her at the end, losing Kirk and being unable to talk to anyone about what she's experienced. She's gone through some pretty serious trauma already due to her genes and name and now she's had to go through this pure insanity. I wonder what the significance of the watch is.

That was a beauty! I love this crew! Seeing them all back Una up made me quite emotional. I'm a soppy git.

Is it me or is SNW the best looking trek ever? Everything just looks so cool. I bloody love it.

This is great, just before my free Spotify trial runs out too.

Thanks!

Thanks! Honestly it was hard to resist starting again immediately!

The great thing about it is there is so much to get through, by the time you've finished it the memories of the beginning are fading.

I'm excited to watch it all again!
