Mint is good. Fedora & KDE might be a good choice because of the customization. Could be a nice way for her to make her desktop her very own creative project that inspires her to learn more about her computer and how it works. Fedora is pretty damn snappy. dnf is really easy and she could just use discover or whatnot to install apps.

Help her rice up her desktop a bit and show her how to install some programs. Maybe bookmark some tutorials for different programs you install and the OS of your choice.

Blender, kdenlive, krita, gimp, inkscape, strawberry for music, libreoffice, vlc, supertuxcart etc…

Then turn her loose and let her have fun.

Had to open the pic and rotate to landscape to see that this was not fata morgana.

Petty pics. Looks like a nice hike!

Be safe. I get the risks. Don’t do it on my account, but if it ever feels right it might be a bonding moment. Takes a lot of mutual trust.

I knew an old man that would sit down with his horse and sometimes the horse would lay down next to him for a moment, at least that is what he said and I believe him. When I first met the horse he sat down right in the middle of the corral to show me there wasn’t anything to be afraid of and told me that story. They were great friends though and he spent a lot of time with his horse. He grew up hunting and fishing in my little valley and a horse was just a way of life for the old (greatest) generation.

First horse I ever rode in fact. He was old by the time I got to know him.

Used to feed him oats. The old man took me in and taught me how to saddle and ride.

Bager didn’t like me riding him much. Used to take him out this old mountain road a few miles, never more than a canter. Mostly just a mosey.

He’d get fed up with me and bite my ankle and i would lead him to the creek for a bit of water and sometimes I’d wash his legs a moment. Then we would walk home together. Stopping to take in the views. The sweet smell of pine and sagebrush after a summer shower.

We’d get back and I’d give him a nice brushing and his favorite part of seeing me more oats.

Maybe one day if I ever have the money and land I’d get me a horse, donkey and a couple pack goats.

I wonder if you lied down one day if she’d join you?

So nice to see a relaxed horse. Secure in their surrounding’s. Comfortable enough to let it all go and lie down and enjoy.

I can see the benefit of matching style when working with others. I only code for myself and never had to worry about conformity for project consistency.

It is good to learn new things.

I’m sure I have some coding habitats that would annoy others.

That’s good to know. Don’t know how I didn’t know this. Been writing JS since 2000. Always just used them I guess. Ecmascripts look funny to me without them

Was looking at it and could not figure out why their weren’t any semicolon’s.

I love you! In a kind internet stranger kind of way. Thanks for being there for Ms.Sandy.

Garuda is pretty fucking awesome for an easy arch distro. Everything was installed correctly OOTB on my ASUS g733 with integrated/dedicated GPU so you don’t have to set Prime up yourself. Their KDE ricing in their dragonized version is the best I have found. Great gaming setup IMO. Easy beginner arch entry distro with all the bells and whistles. They have done a pretty good job with their garuda-update pacman wrapper and seems to handle most of the manual intervention during updates, uses reflector for mirrors on update too. Btrfs and snapper setup by default so rollback is easy as pie.

Been wanting to try catchy for a while though.

Fedora is a great option as well. Stable, well built and easy. Don’t really like flatpak that much but that’s just a personal preference. I really like dnf. Defiantly a good choice beginner distro.

nvtop : visualize nvidia GPU usage and memory

top : monitor/manage processes although ps aux | grep appName is still my goto.

pyenv : easily install and use any python version

ipython : a customizable python interpreter. I have figured out many poorly documented modules using ipython and great for exploring modules.

Import psutil as ps

ps.#then hit tab

after hitting tab will show all attributes related to your imported module, use arrow keys to select methods == profit!

nethogs : monitor network connections by app.

firejail : app sandboxing

I’m so happy for her! Horses need other horses to horse around with.

Shame, she might have a maternal instinct that could be beneficial to both, she probably has some wisdom to share.

Those ears are tuned into something. Radar guided apple finder’s.

Glad you’re on the mend and happy you can be there for each other!

I hope your healing well and you’ll be healed up enough for a small trip to help her get acquainted to her new palace and courtyard!

Just so I have this right, fwupd will update the firmware with the new keys. Just fuzz on if you have to create a new secure-boot key yourself?

This one wishes you a happy sweet roll!

A party in main meadow.
