Do what you want cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate.

Whatever costume you choose this Halloween, make sure to wash it with Torgo's Executive Powder. Torgo's Executive Powder; when your costumes stinks like a Omicronian's feet, only trust Torgo's Executive Powder.

You know what's funny, I recently read a CNBC business article that said auto-makers are saying consumers aren't buying enough electric and hybrid vehicles. That supply has outpaced demand. You know what they're not going to do, drop prices like basic economic theory says they should. According to auto-makers the problem wasn't that they over estimated how popular their products are, the problem is the consumers not living up to their expectations. If we were good little consumers we'd just take on more debt but apparently we're not cooperating.

I made the switch to Mint (and Windows) a while ago, but I still use Ubuntu for stupid little IOT projects. I should probably learn how to build my own with Yocto, maybe that'll be a future project. BalenaOS is great for quick a dirty stuff but Balena collects A LOT of telemetry from your system and it's only a matter of time until they sell that data or lose it in a breach. It's hard to give up what I'm comfortable with sometimes.

Great advice! There is also the possibility that ~~you're just a night person~~ someone may just be a night person. There's a syndrome called Delayed Phase Sleep Syndrome which is a fancy way of saying your body prefers to sleep during the day and be active at night. If we didn't live in a society that operates mostly during the day it wouldn't be a problem, but that's not how it works. There are people who I've worked nights with who I swear had this. They were happier and healthier on nights, they wanted to work nights. If that's you, maybe look for a night shift job.

Naw fam, I've been using Linux for years and I still goto Reddit threads for problem solving. I'm not like a guru or anything but I'm not new. I'll try other sources first but I have no problem going to Reddit second.

This! Try this! Don't go taking your computer apart until you try this. It's great advice.

That would be where I'd look first. A lot of AIO manufacturers only write drivers for Windows. There's an old Reddit thread that has a few things to try. If this is your first dip into Linux get used to googling things. A lot of things. Ubuntu or Kebuntu are great OS to start on because there is always a forum post or a Reddit thread that deals with exactly what you're dealing with. Once you are more comfortable I'd move onto Linux Mint or straight Debian. All those nice things that make Ubuntu easy to learn will eventually also hold you back.

Are your AIO fans, pump, etc. connected to the motherboard or through a USB hub?

I'll step in, failures. A lot, and I mean a lot of failures. It takes a while to learn that there's and ebe and flow to a party, a lot of people feel pressured to always be interesting at a party. Not possible, embrace the flow and learn to let the ebe pass by. I have done sooooo many embarrassing things at a party but you know what, I'm not dead. I'm not an outcast. None of those predictions happened.

Also know when to go home. Every party will hit one of two points late into the night, either the party will run out of gas or it'll rev up. Either way, go home. Nothing good ever happens after 3:00 am.

Oh man I forgot about that! Yeah it does! It's been an age since I've played it.

I'd sing the words without any idea what they were messing up a few of the words but fewer than you'd expect. Maybe it's because I was in choir at a young age until early adulthood and in addition to reading notes you read and sing sounds not words. So for example in the chorus of What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor the lyrics are something like 'Way-ho and up she rises,' but on the sheet music it could be 'Waaaaa- ehyyyyy o- HO.' It doesn't look like words, it's sounds. So singing pop music I used to just hear and reproduce the sound without thinking about what I was saying much. Super clear lyrics yeah but even a little hard to hear I didn't used to.
