Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Like if you left an onion alone in your pantry, after a while you’ll it sprouting leaves, and then you can just plant it in a pot and it just grows on its own.

What would the point of this be? Don't you only get one onion from your starting onion? Why not just eat the onion you had at the start?

My idea is to have it in a multi-boot setup so that I have a dedicated gaming OS that I can boot into, and with the immutable OS base, it’ll lead to a console-like gaming experience where I don’t have to worry about updates etc breaking things, or needing to tweak various things in my DE etc. So just power on my laptop, select Bazzite in my boot menu, click on a game and bam.

Interesting! I don't have anything duel booting, just a laptop with linux (currently Nobara) and windows on a "desktop" (I put it in quotes because it's plugged into the TV, it's not used as a desktop).

One day I see myself moving away from windows on the desktop. It's used for 4 things: running Excel, streaming netflix or whichever service we have that month, playing VR, and pancake "gaming" (I put it in quotes because I suck, I'm not a gamer, I'm a person who plays games 😄).

If I were to move away from Windows, a console like experience would be what I'm looking for in that machine. I might investigate Bazzite, though it would be good to know what your experience is like dual-booting it as that's how I'd likely start.

My goal isn't the onions themselves, but the leaves (aka spring onion) :) I'd love to have proper onion harvest as well, but I just don't have the space for that in my little balcony garden.

Perhaps one day, if I can get a fully remote job, I'll buy a proper house in the middle of nowhere and have a proper garden...
