So, I did this by booting to USB. Obviously I cannot just performance really, but I did even manage to install Valheim and run it from the USB.Some things worked out of box and some did not. I have and Asus Zephyr 15” dual screen and there seems to be a set of drivers and interface for that, but I didn’t go that far. Screen seemed to work, sound wouldn’t adjust , got keyboard lights working and etc.

Overall, it is better than what I remember. I think with more effort, might be able to get it all working but I am not currently patient enough to really see it through. We will see!

Not a bad idea. I might do this on my laptop (I have a desktop too for main gaming). My laptop has a dual screen too, so if I try this, I will report back on the experience.

I use Linux all over for my server hosting, but not desktop OS. Out of curiosity, what were the things that held you back from using it full time? (Others feel free to share too please)

I will go first - gaming. I do also have a SteamDeck so I am fully aware that there has been lots of advancements there and that is great. For the most part, the games I currently play seem to play just fine on it (and I know some of that could be the Deck more than Linux itself). With all that said, I am still skittish about fully committing as my main desktop OS.

Thanks. I will give that a shot!

So in the example, I just put the remaining biryani with the pan and put it in my chest freezer (no cover or anything) for 20-30 minutes. I was then able to cut them into rectangles and keep formation. I used a chamber sealer (this exact one) to seal it. The biggest difference is that these don’t vacuum really. They do something with atmospheric pressure and then all of the sudden it takes that all out and creates the vacuum effect with seal. I used to have a standard vacuum sealer too and if you flash freeze, I think it should still work fine. After that, I just store them in my freezer.

Yeah, my first experience with it was around the same age when my peers had brought in their Indian food. I thought the same thing at the time. Since then, they have helped me in how to make their dishes and holy smokes. It takes a lot of work (for me at least) compared to other things I cook, but it is worth it.

With the pan in the picture, I made this for 2 people, but I took the leftovers and I flash froze it. I then cut it into squares and vacuum sealed it and then put in the freezer. So, I could make a lot and whenever I want more, I just take each serving out and reheat it (even in microwave, it comes out great again). Saves a lot of time and gives me an authentic quick meal!
