The ring was a miniature spinthariscope.

When removing the red cap in a dark room, you could peer into a tiny viewing chamber and see flashes of light caused by alpha particles hitting a zing sulfide screen.

It’s been about two months, smooth sailing so far. No regrets. Running EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma, blender, reaper, steam and GoG, discord and a web app to use whatsapp. Have not missed windows one bit. I’m slowly learning more as I go, but so far the much boogified Arch has been easy to get going with Endeavour, and I haven’t run into any unmanageable problems so far.

I simply adore that the only programs on my PC are ones that I want on it.
