Diantre !

Que diable ?!

You absolutely can start with 4. The worst thing that can happen is that you love it and are slightly disappointed when you try the first 3 games after 4. It could be worse.

Do you need a DE? I use sway and a few kde apps (konsole, okular, gwenview, dolphin) + firefox and thunderbird, I wouldn’t call that a DE…

• Pikmin 3 Deluxe
• Pikmin 4
• Super Smash Bros Ultimate
• Monster Hunter Rise
• Splatoon 3

I’ve only had this one, but in 5 years of daily commutes, the only thing that broke is a pedal (I hit it pretty hard on accident, and it bent).

if you want i3 but on wayland, you could try sway. It is exactly that, you can even reuse most of your i3 config file.

When I used it, I mostly switched between the 9 apps in my favorites/dock with the Meta+digit shortcuts. I rarely used anything besides those 9, and then I just used alt tab. It worked really well, no complaining.

Today it’s mostly the same, but with a tiling window manager and the same numbers: 3 is thunderbird, 5 is file browser for instance. It’s muscle memory at this point, feels great.

Oh. Here in France, even online banks still have web apps.

Anyway the assumption that every user has a smartphone is now very prevalent and it’s going to get harder and harder to not have one, but I really want to go against the trend.

Really? I’m having a really hard time getting into Pikmin 2, I hate these caves.

Can’t you set it back to sending you a text with a code to input back? That’s what I’m doing with my bank, my dumbphone is on its way.

It’s getting harder and harder to get attention apparently. Which is good.

Oh God, I remember the monthly format C and reinstall windows xp, followed by the dreaded service packs installation. That was how I fixed problems.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply and the links.

When you spent time tinkering on your linux box, at least you usually learn some piece of knowledge that can be applied later on.

When you tinker and debug something on windows, you usually have little idea of what went wrong and can derive very little from the experience. At least that was the case back when I still used windows, in the XP and vista days.

I did even better, took a home office day for a medical appointment.

I just finished Pikmin 3 last night, I left it unfinished on the last section for about a year, because man this last map is stressful.

But hey, I pushed on and I’m glad I did because now I only have Pikmin 2 to finish before the end of next week!

We might have some silent letters, vestigial remnant of ancient forms, but English has basically no rule for pronunciation. It’s so funny watching English speakers debate among themselves how a name should be pronounced.

• Bear, pear, tear, tear, near.
• Rough, tough, though
• To read, read, read (your very best one, guys, believe me)

That’s why I ride a single speed bike. This can’t really happen to me anymore.

I’m French. I’m not aware of any other language that radically modifies the meaning of verbs with propositions in such a way.

As a foreigner, you might expect that break up and break down have opposite meanings because up and down do, but nope.

I use debian at work, but for various reasons I use my own laptop for work. Couldn’t stand the old MacBook they had for me.

So no, I never switch back to being a normal user.
