To my fellow Linux users: it's okay to use a GUI. Really.

As a contrbuting member of Society of Linux Users on Terminals I am aghast, AGHAST at the very proposition of using *shudder* graphics on your Linux system. I mean, the very idea! If you can't browse the web in console mode, then why even bother using Linux? GUIs are for quitters.

It sounds like you're not really interested in how everyone spent their weekend and want to vent instead. But on the off-chance that I've misjudged the situation: the weather was kinda shit, so I spent most of my weekend playing The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles on the Switch. Is good game.

Any, really. As long as I can use my noodle.

True, his message doesn't exactly radiate happiness, but I can assure you he felt SO much better after writing this. Tech support also doubles as everyone's personal therapist, you see.

Looking at your responses it seems that you have a good grasp on the english language. Which is good! It means you have all the tools available to you when making conversation. You probably just need more practice. Conversations in non-native languages can be difficult, because you have to come up with an answer on the spot. It's not impossible, though. You'll probably stumble for words and make mistakes at first, but that's perfectly normal and okay.

tl;dr: talk more. Good luck!

Andrew is ignorant. He could learn the basics of computer literacy, which would answer all his questions, but I'll take a shot in the dark and say that Andrew doesn't want to do that and is perfectly happy being ignorant. And also angry.

Somebody is obviously trying to cover all the bases. That's just good thinking. If ghost are real, they get zapped. If they aren't real, they get to chase a group of adolescents all over the place for about 20 minutes before said adolescents figure out it's not a ghost for the umpteenth time.

I don't know, we'll just have to see. But personally, I am not a fan of tying so many functionalities to systemd.

I used to love Chilli con carne, but not anymore. One day I woke up not feeling well and we were having Chilli con carne for lunch. Despite my condition, I sat down at the table and started eating. It didn't last long. In a few minutes, I was feeling queasy and had to dash to the bathroom to throw up. Ever since then I can't look at, smell or eat a Chilli con carne dish without remembering that day.

Nah, that would just make me a dick.

At one time I did, and to my surprise, my friend did just that! Unlocked their phone and handed it to me without a word. Welp.
