  • The other Stephen King short story turned into a movie recently (Long Walk) also

    Spoiler

    completely changed the ending, although I heard a rumour that the original ending will be on the home release. So maybe this movie will have an alternate ending as well. The change after following the book pretty well up til that point made it feel like a weird alternate reality all of a sudden. Very jarring. Not that I think the changes were bad, but changed how I was experiencing the movie.












  • I was in the sane situation as you and what I did was buy a new drive to put Linux on so I could dual boot and get used to things without wiping everything. Linux can even mount your Window drive if you need to access data on it.

    I tried a few distro myself but landed on Garuda Dr460onized Gaming. (You can look at different versions here) The gaming version came with steam and Heroic installed and had a nice colour theme picked. Gaming has been great and all Windows games that I’ve tried have worked better than when I was running Windows. (Rocket League, Hades 2, Uncharted 4 to name some) You can always keep Windows on your other drive and boot it for games like Fortnite that have kernel level anti cheat.

    The only issue you might have is that Garuda is pretty bleeding edge with when updates get applied. This can be good or bad. There were some issues getting dual screens working for me at first, but those issues have gone away completely now. I also had issues with the top menu bar crashing and disappearing. Lasted about 2 weeks and then an update fixed it. (Survived by using the Meta + Spacebar search launcher and Ctrl + Alt + T to get into a terminal) So updates to fix issues come out somewhat quickly, but issues pop up too. I actually think it’s been pretty stable right now.

    “Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this—pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks—they would be sued into oblivion,” he observed. “Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.”

    Can anyone explain why ICE isn’t getting sued into oblivion for their actions? When this stuff started happening I figured there would be huge paydays for at least the full citizens affected.
