    Me unable to update my system, trying not to cry while using Blender:

    A low-poly, vertex color-only model of a tail-less gecko, pathetic-looking and purple under its eyes. The origin lines from the software Blender can be barely seen

    Updated, so at least one issue down.

        Dependencies for Steam

        error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) 

        :: installing lib32-libjpeg-turbo (3.0.4-2) breaks dependency 'lib32-libjpeg' required by lib32-mjpegtools

        But in all honesty, I just can’t be bothered to fix it.

        My general tactic is to wait until things get fixed… has worked for many years, no longer it seems. Before this I also got bit by an nVidia/systemd issue (won’t always wake from suspend) that I did try to fix and updates didn’t help either so instead I just shut my computer down now. EDIT: This seems fixed now, too

        It also does not help that I have 6mb/s internet (shared with other people) thus cannot really update frequently (and thus not auto-update). This isn’t even my original install either, the re-install didn’t help as long as I hoped.

        I probably need to switch to something else, but packaging/updating always seems flawed. I tried Tumbleweed a while back, but was quickly annoyed by patterns and did not like the suggested work-around.

        TL;DR: It me

            Alright, trying it. I don’t use Flatpak for anything else because of updating, but Steam updates itself anyway so that shouldn’t be a factor.

            EDIT: I forgot dependencies are a bit rough (almost 2GiB total) because sandboxing, so that might’ve been a bigger factor before

            Re-installing worked, so I am not sure what happened with the dependency solver (hopefully this doesn’t happen again soon). Though I am almost to the point Steam wouldn’t be such a big loss especially if I can still play a few DRM-free games already downloaded.

    heh, but ‘the good guy’ also smokes. i don’t know why, is it because we have this legacy image about thinkers and artists, that they should smoke, while their mind is occupied with eliminating the problems of the humankind.

    i cannot help but perceive this image (not exactly your painting, but image of a thinker) as one that should be deprecated, since it romanticizes smoking.

      You uncovered the hidden meaning behind the alleged good guy. Maybe Fossangel is not actually good :))

      Nicotine is a stimulant, so it does help thinking. Should just drink some coffee instead though.
