I was expecting this on a pos enterprise system that barely managed win 10 (but has 12 usb ports!!!). For context, the replacement drive I got for it from the IT department that “disposed of” the tower had windows 7 installed on it, they said that was the best it could probably do, which is why they were obsoleted years ago.

There must have been something really wrong with other components because even with antixlinux, which doesn’t even have seem to have sound support out of the box, and is meant to be used off a usb (keeps a persistent state on the USB so you can take your OS and data with you), it was slow as molasses. (I also tried mint and raw Debian and a couple other things and they all sucked hard)

So I threw Ubuntu back on and use it only for the Plex desktop app in my bedroom where I try not to watch too much tv. Is the only thing that runs on it without issues as long as I never close it. Reboots take 10 min tho. Not even remotely worth troubleshooting (that’s pc#4 in my house… I live alone. I have other options.)

This all to say, if it doesn’t respond well to Linux, there might be something else going on :)

Counterpoint: cats.

I had to install cabinets in my open-shelf pantry because the cats kept making beds of my packages foods. They would probably love to curl up on my dinner plates.

I live alone and do this occasionally when I get distracted in the middle of a task like unloading the dishwasher. Otherwise it really doesn’t happen that much.

I actually don’t mind it because it’s a visual indicator that my task is incomplete, and a good reminder to finish it.

If you shred them you can use the shredded cardboard to grow oyster mushrooms. Shiitake too but they don’t do nearly as well.

Maybe that’s why she’s saving them. Have you even asked??

My storage doesn’t randomly disconnect, but frequently (and randomly) when I open saved files, three to six other files open alongside it for whatever reason and that can get a bit overwhelming and for sure bogs everything down.

Very helpful for making diverse connections between the files (how my OS knows which files are related is beyond my comprehension), but way too much for daily use.

I still have a mortgage, but I don’t have car payments and my bills have been steady for years.

I have never been stable by any historically recent metric, yet I can easily survive on $750/mth usd living in the US. Sure, a depressed area, but I can make it work.

I’ve never been stable so I learned to live on very little, and make up for it where I can. I won’t ever have money for travel, but historically nobody did. We are spoiled as fuck to think international vacations are a baseline necessity to call life good.

It’s not easy in today’s world but it is totally doable, if you don’t give a fuck about keeping up with people around you, and focus on what makes your life good.

The best part is when your energy starts high and pleasant, and then cycles through all of the rest of those before landing on emotionally dysfunctional toddler because it’s gotten too much.

I often do a mental check before bed to make sure I ate something that day… sometimes I haven’t, and I debate going back downstairs to make something, because if I do go make something I often won’t eat it…
