I've got something playing on my mind, so I thought I'd come here to the Fedi hive mind to finally come up with a definite decision. I am thinking of switching Linux distro (again).

Stick with Arch

Go back to Fedora

21.8% (12)

Retry Debian

@ThompsonArt@mastodon.art That's an amazing owl. Is that a vector piece or a painting?

I totally didn't switch desktop environments/window manager again today...

Nor did I start yet another project...

@thelinuxcast That would suck. Was it at least to make it more reliable?

@rl_dane@polymaths.social @clayton@polymaths.social @buddiesofbudgie@floss.social I believe they are planning on moving away from Gtk to Qt6 in the next major release.

@thelinuxcast@polymaths.social I mean, I wrote this blost and most of my others on my phone XD and am 100% guilty of using my phone too much.

As I said yesterday, the first release of Orbital CSS has released.

https://codeberg.org/OrbitalMartian/orbital.css/releases/tag/0.1.0

This would have been done sooner, but I got distracted watching a thunderstorm on radar and out the window XD.

Let me know you're thoughts. I still need to get a base example html page made for the overall structure but that's not been on my radar till I was writing this toot.
