Dundee Lad

So for the last couple of weeks I’ve been lazing about at home on holiday. To keep myself occupied I decided to give Linux another go, since I’d been hearing it has got so much better for serious gaming. After a lot of fucking about with various distros, I finally settled on RegataOS, which is a Brazilian distro that runs on OpenSUSE. And so far, the biggest criticism I have of it, is that unlike pretty much every other distro out there, this one has no support forum. The only official support seems to be on a fucking Telegram group. Uh, fuck that Russian shitshow. Anyway, the few issues I’ve had with it have been covered elsewhere on the net and all in all, it is running beautifully. So good, in fact, that I’ve hardly spent any time on Windows 11 this past fortnight.

Anyway, more later but for now I just want to point out one important difference between Linux and Windows; in Linux, USB actually works properly! Seriously, on Windows transferring a 2 GB file to a USB3 memory stick takes ages because it averages around 30 to 40 MB/s. That same file, on that same memory stick takes seconds on Linux because it is being transferred at an average of 130 MB/s. Good job, Microsoft.

DJclassicsonvinyl: 1981, this is what I would call Minimal Synth Body Music, a style that was unique back then and which should be the basis for later Electronic Body Music, so-to-say invented by New German Wave / Neue Deutsche Welle duo D.A.F., Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft…

Insta does have some occasional good points

Just an FYI: According to the website, Is It Bandcamp Friday, the next one will be on March 6, 2026. w00t!

This is another Swedish band, with a brilliant female lead. Fortunately, they’re still going strong.
