Grow up faggot.

Sirens aren't a problem if your block is a residential area. I used to live across the street from an old folks' home in the suburbs. It was muuuuch worse. I heard sirens 24/7.

Either way, living in the city sucks. I plan on buying a somewhat rural home near the Metro North Railroad and commuting to NYC.

Maybe he will eventually, lol. God I wish I could smoke weed all day, I really ran my time dry in the past doing it. Had to grow up and move on or I'd be in a shitshow. Used to smoke a gram of THC a day.

>Used to smoke a gram of THC a day.
jesus, I've been daily dabbing for 5 years now and I smoke a gram of dab in a week.

>tfw federal random drug screening for work
Used to blow through an eighth a day. Good times

I live in a boring quiet suburb in Australia where there is no interesting city or night life. Living comfortably alone in a highrise with financial security is the absolute dream for me.

Guys, just a quick question:

What is the name of the screenfetch tool that has really small output? Atleast compared to neofetch/screenfetch.

I had it installed once, but just cant remember the name.

ufetch

good taste

Cities are nothing but degeneracy

sylveon is male

usually

a thx mate

As much as I hate Apple, I unironically like the osx aesthetics.

it's ubuntu level easy, you get asked a keyboard, then you are in a menu to select your wifi and what you want to install.
I recommend to choose the lxde version since it is basically like XP.
But you may be better off with debian if you are not that familiar with linux, as you need to add some repositories from the internet into yum.
cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/
just download the iso for your architecture, try the lxde live and burn in an usb to try it without installing.
Multimedia codecs are installed by just install ffmpeg. It pretty much gives you all codecs you will ever need, but to be sure also install gstreamer1*, the asterisk means it installs everything starting with gstreamer1*. Basically the same in every distro but in debian you don't need to add repositories for most things
