Yeah, was the first thing I thought, how the fuck do they want to cool them?
Like Mint?
Although there are probably some better ones specially for old people.
But Linux is usually pretty easy for old people, as not much needs to be done after setting it up and it just keeps running.
That's quite a large amount of coke though
And as the normal route is too snort it, I'm pretty sure you will have a hard time to get that much stuff inside you at once
Well, usually those go nice hand in hand
Well, you have to keep those "hereto" people entertained, that think, being gay is a choice
Ah, fucking auto correct
Should have read: my nephew ;-)
Edit: and regarding your question:
Yeah, there some power management tools/deamons to configure in Linux, how to handle what.
Depends a bit on your distribution/environment, which tools are available - or make sense to be installed
Yeah, because of the same experience for the last 2 decades, I always shut my stuff down as well.
Then I gave an old laptop with Linux to my ~~neoprene~~ nephew. And without further discussion or thinking, he just pressed the power button, when he wanted it to be off - which triggered some kind of sleep mode
I was so fucking nervous during that, as I had never tested for that, and for the young generation growing up with smartphones that was the obvious move.
But surprisingly it works like a charm and goes into some kind of standby.
At least I didn't got any complains...
As mentioned in the linked comments, I think just using something like Tinker Writer Deck ( https://tinker.sh/ ) or even just using something like focuswriter in a slimmed down modern OS, is a much easier approach - because of much easier interfacing with the outside world (and used hardware). That way you can use rather normal stuff like rsync to backup your work through an actual ethernet or WiFi connection.
But I must admit, I really like the sentiment of the article :-)
(Although I'm a bit put off by his self referencing as a 'vulture' - but maybe I'm just out of the loop here...)
That's why I bought the remarkable tablet!
Best thing ever for taking notes and scribbles
Edit: answer was focused on your first part. Although I'd really like to get better, I really suck at drawing - besides some technical things
Ah, wusste ich gar nicht, danke
Find ich ohnehin alles ne ziemlich bescheuerte Lösung...
Absolutely know the feeling
When I quit a few years ago are my last employer, I was thinking, I'm the rat leaving the sinking ship
Fucking card house still hasn't collapsed somehow and old employer is now my main customer.
So...not much changed, besides that I don't have much security anymore
But hey! Illusion of freedom, when being self employed! ;-)
