One series I haven’t seen recommended yet is Alastair Reynolds novels. Revelation Space is a wonderful series, and if you want to start with a standalone story House of Suns and Diamond Dogs are great choices.

For lighter reading there’s also the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells.

There’s other older series that may appeal to you: Vatta’s War and Vorkosigan Saga conf to mind.

Consistency with their previous default desktop environment, Unity.

Arch: I need reproducible setups. Also bleeding edge is not for me.

I have to give credit to their documentation though!

What put me off selinux is that the officially documented way of generating a new policy is to run a service unconfined, and then generating the policy from its behaviour. This is backwards on so many levels… In contrast policy-based admission control in kubernetes is a delight to use, and creating new policies is actually doable outside of a lab.

Take a machine with Linux preinstalled. Will it run Linux without problems? Yeah, of course.

Take a machine with Windows preinstalled. Will it run Linux without problems? Check the list.

Stör is German for sturgeon. And it happens to sound like a lot of other words. Stör Wars, stört your engines, etc. The admins let it run for a while and then put a ban on Stör memes, so everything quieted down. Until this week, when c/risa got the Morn/Gorn/Rom bug.

“Drink verification can…”

Summit. It feels the most like RiF.

In that case gpaste (if you use Gnome). Before that parcellite was my preference, but around the transition to Wayland things broke for me.

Selection buffer.

Unless you mean clipboard manager, in which case it’ll depend on your desktop environment.

Back when custom ringtones were a thing and people still called each other frequently I used to have that as my ringtone.

I remember using QEMM for the first time and finally being able to load games and applications that would otherwise not work.

I remember having to fiddle with IRQ settings to get sound working.

I remember the C64 emulator and finally being able to play Ultima 4 without having to constantly switch disks.

I remember the experimental OS and hardware explosions: QNX (still alive as an automotive OS), BeOS, MenuetOS, Transmeta Crusoe.

The Voodoo graphics cards!
