You can share your /home partition directly, but you'll likely find problems with things like theming and other configurations when you do. This is because you're not only sharing the stuff you want, like ~/Documents and such, but also all of the hidden configuration directories like ~/.local as well. While most every distro uses the same visible directories, they are less likely to store their config files in the same places as others.

To get around this, I mount my "universal" home directory somewhere other than /home, e.g. /mnt/home instead. Then I symlink the folders that I care about to each distro's /home directory, e.g ln -s /mnt/home/<username>/Music ~/ . It works across all Linux distros as well as other Unices (as long as they can read the filesystem that you put your universal /home on...ZFS is great for this). I've used this successfully to share my ~/* directories between Linux, FreeBSD, and MacOS installs at one time or another. But it still lets each distro or OS have its own configurations without interfering with the other stuff you're multibooting with it.

I can't wait for my home state to have fair elections again.

Jeez, i just threw up in my mouth.

The fricking hamburger menu on desktop applications. I don't care if there's an option to use it or even if it's the default option as long as there's a way to get a traditional menu bar. But when it's the only option the designers can fuck right off. Monopoly and privacy aside, I'll never use Chrome just because I have to use a stupid hamburger menu.

I completely understand why it's used on mobile devices, and thus I get why it's used for non-mobile devices. People who are used to it from mobile want it on the desktop. Or maybe your vertical screen space is limited and it lets you get back a line of space for other stuff. But it's really just poorly re-creating the menu bar while requiring (at least) an additional click. When there's no good reason for it, it just sucks. Give me an option to use it or not!

Because Chromium and its derivatives suck. Is it really too much to ask for a traditional menu bar rather than a stupid hamburger menu?

Boo fucking hoo. You know who's not moving on with their lives? The people this douchebag murdered after going out to look for people to murder. Get fucked, Rittenhouse.

Mixxx is the only Linux-native DJ software that I know of, but it's still amazing. If it's missing featutes compared with Serato or Recordbox I'm not good enough to miss them yet, and the features it doea have are damn impressive.

Likewise, Inkscape and Gimp are both great. I know that Gimp takes a lot of heat for not being as "good" as Photoshop, but it's just different. The few times I've tried Photoshop were as painful to me as Gimp seems to be for others. And since I don't need the CMYK functionality that Gimp is missing, I'm happy with Gimp.

LaTeX has a steep learning curve, but using anything else for documents is like stone knives and bearskins in comparison.

Try all three. It's not like it costs anything, and they're all just a click or one-liner away. Try them all and see what works best for you.

That said, I'll go with Mate any day of the week.

Screaming Trees is criminally underrated. They're one of the earliest grunge bands, and it's a crying shame that they were never able to reach the success that the more well-known Seattle bands did.

Most of the roads in Ireland, at least for my 'Murrican sensibilities. My wife and I took our honeymoon in Ireland and rented a car to get around. Aside from driving on the opposite side of the road, we were unprepared for how narrow all but the main highways were. The typical road there is comparable to a small country road here, is often lined with hedges right up to the edges, and often lacks a center line. The sheer terror of going past a large truck going the opposite way on one of those for the first time was very, very memorable. We eventually got used to it, but that first day or two of driving was definitely white-knuckled.

Fuck Ron Johnson.
