Update to my #linux journey. After enjoying #Bazzite, but failing to solve HDR in games, and realizing the devs are quite antagonistic to Nvidia (mixed feelings here), I tried:

#nobara First update broke the system irrevocably.

#aeon Dev believes security chain is important, so impossible to install to external SSD or dual boot, so can't try it despite it looking like everything I want.

#CachyOS So much faff and needlessly technical setup (and I am a technical person)

*sigh* ...linux...

Japan's opposition politics remain fragmented as Komeito and the CDP merge to form a new party, despite policy divides and a history of electoral struggles. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/18/japan/japans-rare-snap-election/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #sanaetakaichi #ldp #komeitolowerhouse #komeito #cdp #centristreformalliance #cra #tetsuosaito #yoshihikonoda #sokagakkai #ccp #aeon #china #shinzoabe #fumiokishida #shigeruishiba #jip

The #Aeon Desktop's GTK4 graphics issue (making apps that include Nautilus/Files unusable) has been resolved in the snapshot I installed today.

This also goes for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, which is where Aeon gets its packages

Black Friday campaigns are heating up in Japan, with retailers offering discounts ahead of the main event on Friday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/11/25/companies/japan-black-friday-sales/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #retailers #supermarkets #shopping #itoyokado #aeon

Spent a little time last night and this morning trying to build #PostmarketOS on #Aeon via #distrobox with no luck. It doesn't love the sudo/mount/chroot hurdles. I think I'm going to have to boot some distro via USB for this particular journey. 🤔📱♻️

Seven & I Holdings' market value dipped below Aeon for the first time in two decades, as shares in the operator of 7-Eleven stores languish after Alimentation Couche-Tard abandoned its bid for the company. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/21/seven-eclipsed-by-aeon/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business#seveneleven #seveniholdings #aeon

After 2+ years in Fedora Silverblue, it's time to kick the tires on OpenSUSE Aeon, by which I mean a bare-metal install on my main laptop

I am very ready for:

* Fully automatic updates
* Rolling (No version upgrades)
* Distrobox by default -- and automatically upgraded
* Full disk encryption with TPM 2.0

Doing backups and making the boot USB stick now
