How much plastic is used in the raising of a cow? In either case the full lifecycle needs to be considered.

But TBH veganism isn't necessarily an environmental movement. There's often overlap, but nothing about being ethically opposed to farming and killing animals means one is more environmentally conscious.

New to Linux? Ubuntu Isn’t Your Only Option ( www.howtogeek.com )

Ubuntu's popularity often makes it the default choice for new Linux users. But there are tons of other Linux operating systems that deserve your attention. As such, I've highlighted some Ubuntu alternatives so you can choose based on your needs and requirements—because conformity is boring.

Mandrake is another

kodi's pseudotv does this well and you can use jellyfin as a backend

but I'm also curious if there's a more direct way to do this with jellyfin

Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too ( www.theverge.com )

Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft...

As a gentoo user, I'm always confused when people think gentoo is about multi-day compiles. Rebuilding the whole system takes a few hours (not that I ever need to do that), and binary packages are available for the big stuff if you want it. It's basically just arch with more configuration options.

Not insisting you or anyone should run it, but it's not as ridiculous as people seem to think.

For what it's worth, I've found that windows and mac forums have similar issues if you approach them as an outsider.

I feel similar frustration when faced with trying to accomplish things on those OSes. Mac forums in particular are terrible about "you shouldn't want to do that".

It doesn't solve your problem, just wanted to share that I've experienced it from the other side.

Nearly identical story here, and I agree.

Habits and hardware are definitely the big ones to overcome. I still remember how absolutely lost I felt the first couple times I tried installing slackware in the 90s. I could install/set up windows in my sleep. But then slackware dropped to an unfamiliar command prompt, I can't dir, there isn't even a C drive, and now I'm expected to configure something called xfree86. Luckily I wasn't told to use vi or I'd be stuck there to this day.

New users aren't thrown into the deep end quite like that anymore, but it's still a big change for a windows power user. So much of what you learned is not applicable or just the wrong way to do things. Mac users and Windows non-power-users seem to have a much easier time accepting the changes.

It's definitely not for everyone (is any OS?) but it's been 'ready' as a desktop OS for me since Mandrake 8 in ~2001. That's about when I ditched windows 2000 and haven't looked back.

Unrelated but also kind of related: check out bedrock Linux. It’s a trip.

It lets you ‘hijack’ a Linux install and then you can use package managers and packages from other distros. It’s magical how well it works.

You can if you add to playlist from the search screen.

I keep expecting them to break that workaround, but it keeps working for me
