(About this shirt my mom gave Scarlett)

Scarlett: what does this mean?

Eric: It means people will remember you.

Scarlett: Why does grandma want people to remember me?

It’s been a long time since I looked at a new Linux distro. Long time readers know I used to review Linux distros a few years ago. But one of the maintainers of Korora posts to the Fedora Planet feed. (They may say constantly that RSS feeds are dead, but some of us still use them!) Korora (which used to be based on Gentoo) aims to create the ultimate desktop user’s Fedora setup. So they tweak Fedora a bit and add some repos like RPMFusion out of the box. Since I do a lot of this every time I install Fedora anyway, I may want to just install Korora next time I do an install. So I wanted to look at Korora and also use it as a chance to take a look at what’s going on nowadays in the non-KDE/Plasma desktops. Also, since Korora 23 should be coming out within the next month or so, it should help me see how Korora upgrades compare to Fedora (*should* be the same). First the install:

XCOM: Enemy Within (17 hours):

By the time I was done with February I was nearly done with XCOM: Enemy Within. It was a fun revisit of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, but I think I’m done for a while. That’s a good thing since I hear that XCOM 2 has some beefy PC and graphics card requirements.

Civilization 5 (2 Hours):

My brothers have accelerated the pace of their turn-taking - so the games are proceeding apace.

Me: and that’s why earth worms are good. Scarlett: Yeah, and other planet worms are bad.
