  • I do a fair amount of solo bikepacking in the rural Midwest, and have gotten into enough weird altercations that I now ride and camp with a concealed pistol.

    A few years ago, I would have called anyone doing this exact same thing a psychopath. I give myself endless amounts of shit for having a “bicycle gun” and would be fucking mortified if anyone I casually ride with found out, but I’m also intensely aware of how batshit crazy and divorced from reality the average redneck is.




  • If you move to one of the big supported distributions, you’ll be extremely surprised how easy it is.

    If you just want things to stay consistent and easy, I can’t recommend Linux mint enough. I installed it on my son’s laptop almost two years ago and he’s never needed my help to fix anything since.

    The installation walks you through everything, just like Windows, but it’ll only take about the third of the time. Everything just works and there’s no trash to uninstall or debloat scripts to run when you’re done.

    If you do any gaming you might want to run Fedora or bazzite (fedora with training wheels), but if you’re using KDE for the desktop that’s almost as easy and seamless.
