Tree Kangaroos! I’ve never heard of them before. They look awesome.

Concerning they are getting wild fires during our bush fire season.

Yeah, seems a bit hard to prove if the wage theft is “deliberate” or a mistake.

Yep. What I was meaning, will SteamOS boot right into KDE and be a computer operating system first, or boot into big picture mode and be a gaming system first.

I am pretty sure even LTT Linus said he was waiting for a SteamOS release before trying again. I was thinking, like damn dude, if you can’t use PopOS, how will this be any different for you.

albeit this also makes any breackage almost impossible

Maybe, just maybe, this will stop people like him from catastrophically uninstalling their entire desktop environment.

SteamOS is going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting. I reckon there are quite a few people who are waiting for its release before trying Linux.

Does SteamOS even have functional desktop, or is it just Steam big picture wrapper thing?

Cautiously optimistic about this game.

The same thing we have for council elections, optional preferential I am pretty sure.

What ever he is trying, looks to me he wants QLD to be like the USA, in more ways than one…

I am going to be rather annoyed if this is the reason LNP win this coming election in Queensland.

Depends on the humidity.

28C with little humidity is a pleasant day, however 28C with 100% makes me want to die.

First website I go to before booting up a game: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com

“Mum” and “Mom”, I think you are onto something.

C’mon Sony, do us a solid and just release it on PC already.

Thanks for the ideas. Will the update script still need sudo to run, or can it be done at an unprivileged user level?

Thanks, I will put Mint on a USB, along side some others as well. I have fond memories of Mint, as it was my first distro.

Thanks, and good idea on letting them check out the different DE’s. Does Debian have multiple DE’s ready to go, or do you need to install each one individually?

I was thinking Fedora as I use it personally on all my computers and really like it, but I thought Gnome would be too much of a drastic change for them since they are coming from Windows. Might just put it on a USB just in case, and let them test out a couple DE’s before committing to anything.

It’s over 9000!

As he should, like all the critics are saying, how they hell is this not being means tested!

Very much reeks of vote buying. “Hey Australia, look at all this free money we are passing on to you.”

I mean, thanks I guess, but I am already getting a massive benefit from the stage 3 tax cuts. Why not take that $3.5 BILLION and invest it in something that will keep energy prices down for ever, rather than band-aid over it for 12 months. By all means, give the rebate to low income earners and those in real need of it, but people who are not struggling in the slightest should not be getting the rebate.

I guess the government have to play to the lowest common denominator in the voting base. Not all Australians understand that this money isn’t actually free and it will cost us in the long run (every subsequent budget for the next decade is predicted to be in deficit rather than surplus).
