Which version? I've been doing fine with Mint, but then I'm an increasingly passive computer user these days so I'm not really taxing it or myself. Haven't even played games in months.

Post by **endar** » Wed Jun 03, 2026 7:34 pm

I've tried Mint, Ubbuntu and CachyOS

it's mostly fine apart from when I actually want to do anything

My brother keeps telling me to switch to Linux, but I've got a horris feeling I'd have the same grisly experience as Daz has outlined on the previous page.

computers should be banned, dismantled, and then banned again

Post by **endar** » Wed Jun 03, 2026 11:30 pm

big agree

i refuse to use windows 11 though, so options are dwindling, and i'm definitely NOT doing that

You can always tell when an OS is good, when loads of people create special programs to disable or delete various applications and alter the UI.

A nearby gardron was the venue for a bbq and even though it was cold and rainy, none of the guests were wearing coats. That's trueblue British spunk of the quality that Johnny Forrin can only dream of!

I have now had a migraine (or several migraines) for over a week, the only break being Saturday when I had sad guts instead. Stupid weather.

Post by **endar** » Thu Jun 11, 2026 4:34 pm

Bruce please stop being sad of body parts

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jun 11, 2026 5:46 pm

Sorry to hear that, Bruce! I hope you feel better soon, squire!

Post by **dng** » Thu Jun 11, 2026 7:11 pm

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Thu Jun 11, 2026 8:42 pm

Thank ye all, I will try.

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Fri Jun 12, 2026 4:53 pm

Finally feeling OK again now. Hopefully I will get more than a day's migraine respite this time.

I do like a drunken neighbour singing The Sloop John B whilst I cut the back gardrno.

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Wed Jun 24, 2026 10:01 pm

I went to the office and hid until chucking-out time (9.45pm), as I did on Monday and yesterday, and as I will probably do tomorrow.

Post by **vom** » Wed Jun 24, 2026 10:26 pm

I went to the cinema, it was lovely there, I ate an ice cream

Post by **dng** » Wed Jun 24, 2026 10:28 pm

i also went to the cinema. it was hotter than the inside of the sun

Post by **dng** » Wed Jun 24, 2026 10:28 pm

i had no ice creams at all

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jun 25, 2026 1:05 am

Our lounge is perma-cool, so I spent most of my day in there.

The good thing about being dead is that you don't have to keep removing and replacing sweaty t-shirts in hot weather.

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Thu Jun 25, 2026 11:01 pm

Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it.

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Thu Jun 25, 2026 11:18 pm

After three days of coping at least mildly well, I gave up and conked out till 3pm. Eventually dragged myself to the office to enjoy the somewhat cooler temperature for a couple of hours but can't say I achieved much.

Tomorrow my groceries arrive between 7 and 8, so I'm tempted to stay up all night with all the windows wide open, take the groceries in, pop out to the shops first thing after that to get the other things I need for the week, and then just collapse until the evening.

Betterweather

Post by **vom** » Tue Jun 30, 2026 12:18 pm

it's lovely now.

I think I'm actually going to have to invest in some kind of air con unit for future heatwaves as working from home in that heat is impossible, and yet I'm expected to do it

but I'll have to wait until winter for air con units to be in any way affordable, or even available

Post by **dng** » Tue Jun 30, 2026 12:32 pm

Make your own aircon by buying a miniature ice dragon to breath on you

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Jun 30, 2026 2:36 pm

I think air is a con.

Has anyone ever seen it? I THINK NOT!!!
