Distros are a red herring. I used debian 12 (first gnome, then xfce) for more than a year with no problems, and the current version of Bazzite is also problem-free for me when it comes to nvidia prime (apart from a KDE-specific memory leak). Basically, this should be easily fixable without a fresh install.

I don’t know what distro you’re on atm, but set up prime-run and try running programs with that. I also recommend going onto the uefi and disabling secure boot. You can get it to work with proprietary nvidia drivers, but it’s a bit of a process and unless you really need it you might as well leave it off for now.

Good eye!

It’s planted on an isolated patch of garden pretty far from wild woodland, and this lil moron has thankfully gone eight years without an expensive taste test. I appreciate the concern, though :)

Thanks :)

I blame the couplet on Nirvana. Gets stuck in my head every spring.

“I ordered some donuts”

“Put the tissue in the bin/trash”

“Clean up a spill”

“You bing your search”

What on earth is “to shamwow”? I had to Google™ (read: look up) what that meant!

Man, I sure do love to DoorDash™ some Dunkin’™!

Part of me hopes the original post was intentional marketing, because I’m still not ready to accept that people speak in brands now.

I appreciate the concern (getting squeezed like that is a major phobia of mine), but that door is flimsy and doesn’t even close properly anyhow (which is how he got in in the first place), so he’s safe :3

What a beautiful photo!

The competing patriarchal nations sure are!

Thankfully I foiled his Generalplan Desk. He occupied the chair for a while, but I drove him out with a counteroffensive (threatening to sit on him).

That’s a nice solution. In my case putting the couch by the window was a good upgrade, as I can lay there for ages looking up at the mountains, so my boy here actually boosted the Feng Shui of this particular room :D

You might know him as Lawrence. Notoriously happy fellow.
