Fair enough. 👌

Fiber optic cable is just glass or nylon, sealed with a thermoplastic. It really is one of the cheapest kinds of cables to make, maybe ever. It's really not worth anything when anyone who needs to run fiber can just buy a brand new spool for the same price as a spool from four guys in a shitty pickup truck who can't describe why they even had it to begin with.

I dunno who is even still stealing copper considering that a lot of yards are asking for proof of ownership before they accept it. Copper-nabbers are opportunistic, and won't take the time to forge an original invoice.

I respect that, but I built my own Tiny11 iso. You can do so as well here: https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder

Folks gotta give me a little benefit of the doubt. I'm not raw-doggin' the modern Windows experience here.

Correct! And I appreciate the recommendation. I'm an XFCE4 man (sorry. It is just what I've been using for decades) and I think I could probably get that GNOME library running on that environment.

Good looking out, I'll check it out.

Can I post a potentially controversial opinion? I think that the 'Game Bar' feature that Win11 has now is actually kinda good. It has really come a long, long way since Windows Gaming for PC. I think that whenever I switch to Linux, I would probably seek out something similarly as elegant.

I'm really not far off. Once my Tiny11 install breaks, it's on to Bazzite.

If it makes y'all feel any better, it was legally pretty difficult to brew any kind of distilled liquor in the US following Prohibition until, like, 2010. America's iconic alcohol products tend to be produced in places where there has been a traditional carve-out — at least on the East Coast, blue laws reign supreme.

Y'all have an entire Canada to make cannabis and liquor in. You have a real head start compared to us; you will find a way to replace American Whiskey, rum, gin, or beer in no time flat. Could be time for Canada to enjoy a Renaissance of importing foreign and exotic liquors, like soju or araqi.
