"Crust" makes it sound like superfluous detritus. It's cornicione! Pizza is mostly bread, so if the bread is bad then it's not worth eating.

Neapolitan pizza has a high hydration dough cooked at very high temp, resulting in a delightfully light cornicione filled with large air pockets. The bread is delicious enough to enjoy on its own, which is why it only needs simple toppings like uncooked San Marzano tomato and a few shreds of mozarella. IMO Italian cuisine excels at allowing high quality produce speak for themselves through its simplicity and elegance. What they're shitting out at Papa Johns and whatever is an abomination.

I thought she was a patron at a male strip club, stuffing dollar bills into an old man's pants.

I used to use FL Studio, but hated using Windows. I got almost all features (including VSTs) to work in Ubuntu under Wine, but had a problem with WineASIO, which I seemed to require to use the USB sound card properly.

Because of that, I since changed to a DAW called REAPER which is built natively for Linux and works flawlessly and is very nice. There is a program called Yabridge to help run Windows VSTs. I even got more complicated plugins with authentication like Addictive Drums 2 to work using Wine no problem.

If you want a fully FOSS solution there is Ardour which is also great but a little less slick than Reaper IMO.

TBF I'm branching out and I just installed Debian on my second laptop and I like that too. But Ubuntu's been mighty good to me for a lot of years as a reliable workstation and server VM in Proxmox.

I like Ubuntu 😐

I recently had this issue needing to run Excel macros. I ended up using Oracle Virtualbox to run Windows from inside linux. Even more linuxey is using Proxmox to run your Windows VMs but that's a bit more of a faff.

I'm reminded of the original #RIPBOZO guy.

That's pretty disingenuous - it's one of the many reasons that comprise a pattern of behavior whereby Microsoft makes Windows worse at each iteration. More bloat, more spying, more locked-down for user "security". And for what? The dubious benefit of being "compatible" with other shitheel software providers like Adobe who use their monopoly power to stranglehold the corporate and professional media sectors? Toeachizown but IDK how anyone can use Windows by choice. The small amount I have to use it at work is torture enough.

I think it does look pretty cool. I applaud automotive design that dares to be different. Everything nowadays is a giant snarling grill with angry anime eye headlights up front, then a bunch of superfluous sharp creases and fake air vents to add visual elements for the sake of it. Tesla took a boldly minimalist approach with this one.

Before you crucify me, note that I don't particularly like the vehicle overall - it doesn't seem to be a design that translates well to mass production, practicality of maintenance, or pedestrian safety. It's no Alfa 33 Stradale, but I think visual flare isn't an area you can fault it much.

Rivian has done a good job of embracing EV design features (e.g. lack of need for frontal air intakes) in a more conventional way.

I have used Ubuntu as the daily driver for the last 10 years, because support and tools are widespread and easy, and I don't need any extra pain in my life. Drivers are mostly present and working upon a clean install, and in the one case where the touchpad wasn't recognized, it was super easy to find an ubuntu forum post containing a 1-line command to fix it. But everybody says i should hate it and use Mint instead.

I'm open to give it a go, but in general, will most of the tutorials and fixes you find for Ubuntu also work with Mint?
