    I have [Ancient] Debian Armor and a GNOME as my companion. I often equip the Tor Browser Cloak of Invisibility. If slain, I will drop a Locked KeePassXC Database Chest. After completing the mission Revive bricked Linux system, I was awarded with the [Rare] Ego Potion. When drunk, it boosts all stats temporarily during a battle.

      Sorry to be pedantic, but if you can revive it then it wasn’t really bricked. Depending on how bad it was it was still worth the [Rare] ego item 🧑‍🌾

        That loop of config hell is real! It has subsided recently because I got enticed into writing my own widgets. Also, yes to rainbow pastel (tho I’m using gruvbox as a base/reference color theme).

      You need the Flatpak buff. It allows you to avoid the 4 turn wait time.
      But it reduces your initiative by 4 in the first combat round, and doubles the weight of all enhanced items.

    I buy a new house. Everything looks great, I move in, go to bed. The next morning my hot water doesn’t work. The house’s documentation doesn’t cover this, so I go online. When I ask for help on forums people tell me to RTFM and call it a skill issue. I end up finding 500 different ways of fixing the hot water, filter through the 499 that don’t apply to my particular build. When I’m done the cold water doesn’t work either. I decide I’ll fix it later and head to the front door to go to work. It won’t open. Something I did trying to fix the water broke it somehow. I give up and just use the windows instead.

        It absolutely does, compared to 2001ish when I first started playing around with Linux. But I had issues like this on Debian, earlier this year, on a Dell of all things which should use the most basic bone-stock drivers you can find. Draugr wouldn’t even boot after install on that machine.
