  • Products for curly hair are designed to minimize the negative effects of curls (such as frizzyness) while attempting to accentuate the curl.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a product for straight hair other than maybe a straightening iron (and mists, etc. designed to be used before/after ironing), which does indeed iron your hair in an attempt to make it straighter. Edit: straightening your hair with an iron only lasts until you wash it again (or it gets wet by other means, including heavy humidity).

    There are two exceptions to this: a permanent (“perm”) solution does actually make your hair more curly. Despite being called permanent, it only lasts a few weeks or months. The opposite of this is called a hair relaxer. It’ll make your hair more straight for a similar amount of time. Both of these are more harsh chemicals, and people generally go to a salon to get them done professionally. There are also home versions sold.

    In summary, read the entire package before you use it on your hair.




  • It’s been years. I remember playing it after BoTW and hoping it would be similar, but just being very disappointed about everything. It felt clunky. The visuals are noticably worse, but that didn’t really bother me. I don’t remember why, but I think the sticking point was the combat. Ultimately I didn’t care enough about it at the time to even give a proper review, I just gave it a thumbs down on steam.









  • Off of the top of my head: DSL (damn small Linux) recently made a comeback, last I checked. There’s also Tiny Core Linux, which I’ve seen working even on old pentiums on a YouTube video. Puppy Linux of course. There’s so many flavors of Puppy Linux.

    Now, actually referencing Distrowatch: Linux Lite, Peppermint OS

    I know there’s more, but I have direct or indirect experience with all of these.



  • Hey, friend, I believe I was the first one to reply to your original post.

    I’m glad you got your system into a working condition.

    I wanted to suggest something that I used to hear suggested a lot but don’t hear much anymore: perhaps you should get a cheap, second-hand laptop just to use for experimenting with Linux before you try installing it on your main system again? I know it worked for me when I first started using Linux, circa 2013.

    Personally I like MX Linux with KDE. It’s been the most stable OS I’ve used.

    My husband (and by extension me, since I am kinda his tech support sometimes) uses Linux Mint, and he’s found it to be stable. It’s based on Ubuntu, the most popular distro, so it’s easy to find support.

    Good luck!
