I’m getting close to that point. I started playing with it in 1997 or 1998, trying to avoid grad school work… Daily driver at home for many, many years.

he is just reading lines with the same facial expression all the time. If you havent noticed, try rewatching with that in mind… :)

That’s basically Duchovny’s whole range, as far as I can tell.

I think he was in some non-X-Files related movie. I never saw it, but I remember the commercial for it. Duchovny’s character: “Are you here to kill me?” “Yes, are you worried?” “Just trying to plan my day.” All deadpan.

I got so tired of X-Files stringing me along. It reminded me of some women that I tried to date. I gave up after the first movie (yeah, the one everyone forgets about) - no answers there, either!

LOL Sorry, I had to laugh. I started with Slackware back in the 90s, and I finally moved away from it in 2017 or 2018.

Installing it is easy. Where it starts to get headachy is dealing with dependencies when you install something that isn’t a standard package. (I remember, I wanted to install the Ubiquiti Unifi software, and I was just like…“I do not want to deal with this.”) Then, I’d get nervous about updates, “What is this going to break?” And that’s bad from a security point of view.

I understand they do have some dependency management now, so it might be better than it used to be.

I ran it on my desktop, laptop, and my server. The laptop and desktop got switched first, initially to Kubuntu until a few years ago, but now they run Debian. The server was last to be switched from Slackware, and for that I went to Debian. (Debian on the laptop and desktop came later.)

Don’t get me wrong, I loved Slackware, and subscribed to the automatic CD delivery for years. But Debian has just been so much easier to maintain, and more mainstream, so more things are packaged for it. It’s pretty rare that I can’t find a .deb for a piece of software.

Nice. I might have to get that. Thanks!

My gaming PC has a power button on the top of the case. It makes a lot of sense to put it there…

…except when you have cats. And I have 3. I have had it “helpfully” shut off at least twice mid-game. Now I have something that I keep over the button in case the cat is wandering around again.
