Is anyone else tired of overly long titles that explain the whole concept? This title is like if Attack on Titan was called "Soldiers Using Complicated Grappling Equipment Fight Giant Attackers In A City." It's tiresome.

You could actually make a game of it of it. Like, take a show title and give it the Recent Anime Title treatment. It's a new nerdy party game! I'll call it "We Take The Basic Situation of a Show and Turn it into a Title for that Show" Just rolls right off the tongue.

I raised my right hand and swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

That wasn't my best decision ever, and I kinda knew it while I was doing it.

I feel like the response may be as much to your open hostility as it is to your point.

It's a point I agree with, before you blast me - I remember reading the mozilla should unfck itself article a while back and nodding along while I read it. And while I use Firefox (or a derivative) every day because it's part of my feeble stand against Google's browser engine monopoly, it definitely needs to unfck itself.

Out of curiosity, what distro comes with Pale Moon as the default browser?

I have three possible solutions for you:

  1. Switch to Fedora Workstation
  2. Install Gnome on Mint
  3. Use Pop! OS

Option 1 is probably the best one. Fedora is as easy to use as Ubuntu but without Snaps or the rest of Canonical stuff. The downside is that it's RPM based instead of DEB, but that's not as big an issue as you might think, since Flatpaks cover a lot of ground, and between the Fedora and RPM Fusion repositories, most software is still available.

Option 2 is another way to go. It gives you exactly what you're looking for in a way. Unfortunately, you're going to end up with some Cinnamon remnants in your Gnome set up. That's not too big of a deal, though, just some extra cleanup work removing the Cinnamon desktop stuff.

Option 3 is my least favorite. Pop! OS is great, and almost what you're after once you disable some extensions. The only issue I have here is that Pop! will probably be shifting to their in house desktop environment COSMIC soon. Well, fairly soon anyway. I'm sure they'll keep the Gnome version going, but it's very clearly not going to be their focus. Still, Pop! OS might be exactly what you're looking for!

  • The whole set of NES Mega-Man games had amazing soundtracks, although 2 is the best. There's barely a story there, but the gameplay is solid.
  • Final Fantasy VI has Dancing Mad, and that alone would be enough, but the whole damn thing is just amazing, especially the Opera.
  • Similarly, Final Fantasy VII had a stellar soundtrack, including the holy-shit-this-is-amazing One Winged Angel.
    • All Final Fantasy games have great soundtracks, but these two are my faves
  • Someone mentioned Terraria, and I would be remiss if I didn't second it. Not much story there, but I've been playing it for like 12 years and I'm still happy every time I start it up.
  • The Elder Scrolls games from Morrowind on all have bangin' soundtracks. Oblivion had the best one (although Morrowind and Skyrim are both better games, IMHO).
  • Tempest 2000 for the Atari Jaguar of all things had a phenomenal soundtrack. Seriously, it it was one of the first games in the US to have its soundtrack sold in stores. And it stands up.

I'll add more if I think of them. Most of the others I can think of have already been mentioned.

ETA:

  • Chrono Cross, I can't believe I forgot it! That OP is unforgettable, and yet somehow I managed to forget it! The game itself pales in comparison to its predecessor (Chrono Trigger, which also has a great soundtrack), but it's not bad.
  • On a similar note, the original Wild Arms had an excellent soundtrack with a western theme. Actually, the whole Wild Arms series has good music, but I just couldn't get past one of the main mechanics that showed up in 2 and stick around.
  • Another one I can't believe I forgot, Nights: into Dreams had the best soundtrack on the Sega Saturn. It's just perfect for the game, not a bad tune in there.

alias gimmie-dat-new-new='sudo dnf upgrade -y'

Although you should probably look over your upgrade before applying it as a general good practice. But, hey, I do this myself (dnfup instead of gimmie-dat-etc.), so I can't talk too much shit.

ETA: If you want it to be a persistent alias, though, you gotta add it to your .bashrc

If you don't like a post, ignore it. If you feel like the community is missing a conversation, start it. Winging about what other people want to talk about is pointless.

This looks neat, and I'm going to try it out, but does anyone else think that putting RSS and podcast capability into a note taking app is a bit random?
