Think of it this way

There’s your core of the system, the kernel part. It’s the engine of the thing but basically its the package manager. This is what Ubuntu, Redhat, Arch, etc is. It’s all interchangeable in some ways and also locked into a specific place you get your packages and updates. It could be any desktop and all of the desktop environments or just a command line.

So more often than not, the core will favor a specific desktop environment. You can always install multiple environments and they’ll work but there’s some things that are suited for one desktop environment over the other. Many of the basic apps don’t work outside their environments. KDE apps don’t always work in Gnome and vis versa.

So when you download Ubuntu, your basically says give me the package manager that points to the Ubuntu repositories that will understand your version of the core and give you prepackaged software that is meant to work with Gnome.

If you go with Kubuntu you’ll get the same treatment but with the KDE desktop environment and all of its basic stuff.

But you can install KDE on Ubuntu and you can install Gnome on Kubuntu.

You can mix and match all the desktops if you want but at some point it does cause problems because the developers make different decisions and use different software that you’re package manager has to deal with.

So some distros do things different, have different configurations and package managers. I use Arch which uses pacman (package manager) to give you core software that they keep up-to-date and test but it’s limited in what it offers. So instead it has an AUR that can be accessed though many different sub package managers, like yay

I could go on but I hope this makes a little sense about the difference in distribution and desktop environments.

If you want a Windows 98 style desktop, look at KDE. It’s a lot like how Windows works

What is LoL? Are you calling me a loser?

(One of my actual first experiences on the Internet)

if they turned the procedural generator at people, food, supplies and weapons instead of the landscapes… game would have been amazing

the other problem was traveling, they needed to make travel a painful burden… because when it became a quick loading screen and you are there… omfg it ruins the stories the npc’s are trying to tell

wtf you left your crew out here to die?! it took me 5 minutes to get here…

Filling the floor of your house in Skyrim and then running around so it throws those rolls and cheese is my favorite thing

Blocking an instance is a basic option in the web interface for lemmy in the blocks section of your settings. Its at the top. Blocking an instance does not block its users, it just blocks the communities from showing up in your all searches

you can block the instance but when the users are on other communities, it does not block the users

nobody is going to answer your question because its a sealioning like question coming from a user on lemmy.ml

I wish there was an additional option to block all users of an instance separate from the instance block that applies to communities.

There is an option for that, its called Defederation

Fallout was the last great game manual. Fallout 2 was great compared to everything else but Fallout the original was something unique and epic.

I might pick her based solely on this

most of the city names in Washington State are native in origin. Just an FYI

I love nms. I have thousands of screenshots from this game going back to the first day of launch. Man how it’s changed. I only really play the expeditions now but I still love it so

I better call my dad and eat this cookie while my friend gets his trout flavored yogurt ready

dam, I loved that game on the Dreamcast, the colors and the music. The small room aspect was fine because dam that game was something special when it was new.

I let it stay.

It is weird when someone that uses the number joins signal though… I want to reach out to them because I miss my brother but its a good reminder that life marches on with or without you. And we should let the ones who have left, go.

Practice makes perfect

Time to try again!

From their information it’s like super amazing but that’s not always translated to actual use. I tried finding more reviews but couldn’t find anything.

Do you have one of those? Have you used any other hardened nozzles? I’m still under the impression that the ruby tip is king for the cost and reputation

Not sure if I see a difference but it’s more expensive.
