  • Of course there’s the suggestion of installing KDE plasma on PopOS! Which will work quite well but to give some info on the others:

    KDE neon is mostly for devs and is less well maintained than other distros. Still definitly not a bad choice.

    Tumbleweed stronk. Definitly out of what you say my preference though yes, it’s not deb based. You should be able to get what you want though through the app store and the open build service. Really it’s discouraged to find random .debs online and install but OpenSUSE runs on .rpm which are fairly commom.

    Kubuntu is also good. Last time I checked it’s a bit slower moving than pop but that’s not inherently bad. Definitly a great “It-just-works” distro. Some people, myself included, dislike snaps which are built in but if you don’t know what they are I doubt you’ll care. Most of the hate is overblown.

    I’d caution against endeavor as it’s arch based. It’ll demand more from you, stuff will definitly not just work all the time,and if an issue arises it’ll be the first to catch it. Like the grub rescue error that showed up about a year or so ago.

    Don’t use Manjaro. The devs are incompetent and destructive to the ecosystem.

    Debian is also chill. There’s always unstable (can’t remember the current name. Debian Trixie?) For something that’s more up to date

    Last thing no matter what distro, just like an exe, a .deb is just an archival format like .zip and can be taken apart to be manually installed. I understand not wanting to do this though lol and it’s not always that simple



  • If done right no, there’s no reason other than noise, size, and power usage. It also might pick up small things which could impact the components if the fans are strong. At worst it may push them out of place. That last two are pretty unlikely though.

    It my be hard to ensure airflow as small pockets of a may form due to turblance that can’t exit the system however.

    All in all though there’s no reason why a big ass fan couldn’t work and if airflow to the heat generating components is right it would be better at cooling


  • A while back, somewhere around Linux 5.17, some Intel chips in laptops caused the Linux kernal to rapidly set backlight brightness to 100% then zero. This flashing would likely cause it to break. That’s the last one I remember only a year or so ago.

    This only effected arch an it’s varients to my knowledge though, as they were the first to recieve the update, and it was fixed very quickly. To my knowledge nobodies systems were broken from this.




  • Personally, I’ll put some herb in the hole. Not ground up just pull a small bit off, squeeze it a bit, stuff it on.

    Smoking hash is an art of course. If it’s too good you’ll never be able to light it properly. Best way I’ve done it is to let the fire stay just above (using hemp rope, not a butane lighter, for the taste) while slowly inhaling careful not to let the flame touch. This bleeds out some of the oil into the herb beneath it so the hash itself can light. With that method though I will grind some herb up to add on top of the plug so it absorbs a bit better. If you have a piece with a choke only cover it a bit.


  • Don’t know if it’s the stuff you’re thinking of, but due to a large combination of droughts in afganistan and surrounding regions the ground in hash making lands became more aride, and the grounds nutrients changed heavily. This is usually what people mean when they say modern hash isn’t anything like it was before. It’s because, sadly, it isn’t.

    That tends to be more black/dark brown though. Brownish hashed tend to be morrocan or isreali
