  • Brian Lagerstrom’s videos helped me quite a bit, in that he has so many different styles, techniques to use to make various kinds of pizza, from a bar pizza, new York style, Chicago deep dish, Detroit style or sheet pan pizza. He also revisits styles over time as he adjusts his technique or learns new tricks to share to improve the recipes.

    He even has a hack to make pizza dough in the food processor without needing to let it rest overnight, which I’ve used multiple times when I’ve wanted pizza but didn’t know it until it was almost dinner time (purports to be a 1 hour pizza and it’s pretty darn close). The secret there being to use part of a can of beer in the dough instead of water in order to get that yeasty flavor like you would if you did a longer ferment. It’s not as light and fluffy as say a 24+hour new York, but it’s great in a pinch or when you’re too lazy to prep ahead.




  • Counter strike 2, released recently and runs on Linux, I can’t say that the people you’ll meet on that will be that great all the time, but you may be able to meet people there.

    You might also be able to meet people in RuneScape or old school RuneScape, or other MMO type games, usually they have clan features where you can join a group of players.

    Not sure if it’s still busy with players but kingdom of loathing also at least used to have players you could chat with live, and could join a clan or something like that in there.








  • I should look into how to do the rollbacks, I’ve noticed it doing snapshots but haven’t needed to do that yet. Still should know before I do need it.

    My worst problem so far was dual booting to Debian and having the efi entry for Garuda disappear and then not being able to get back easily without modifying debian’s grub. Not fixable with snapshots but still simple enough for me to fix.


  • I’ve used arch for 7-8 years. I’m currently using Garuda for gaming, on year 2 or 3.

    My recommendation is that if arch is working for you just fine, then don’t bother switching. I only switched because I had a breakage and it seemed time to switch (only 2 significant breakages in those 7or 8 years)

    If you hadn’t started with arch I would in fact recommend Garuda first because the initial setup is much more hands free, start it and install stuff and it just works. Also Garuda comes preconfigured with an AUR setup and installers for that and for the glorious egg roll proton.

    That is all crap you can simply set up yourself on arch, so there’s no need for you to switch, if you’re fine with the arch and slightly more manual configuration then you’re all set with arch and have no real reason to change that.




  • Be aware that the flames from a gas burner can go up around a small pot if they’re turned up to high, so always double check that your pot is centered and the flames are on the bottom of the pot only and not going up the sides, to prevent accidents.

    For similar reasons, don’t leave wooden spoons in pots or pans unattended, my mom has a couple wooden cooking spoons that have burnt divots in the handle from being left in a pan or pot.

    And maybe be a touch more careful when adding liquids to oil or using spray oils, they can and will flare up, unlike an electric where you can slop oil all over the surface and be mostly fine with just some smoke.
