  • Yes.

    The US doesn’t have any meaningful number of submarines not nuclear powered. Almost all are (probably*) nuclear capable if sufficiently equipped.

    Specifically, not all nuclear capabilities require ICBM’s. This is a very critical difference. Many fast attacks are fully capable of, albeit more limited nuclear capabilities, than their boomer counterparts, along with more traditional payloads.

    in another lifetime I was a submariner on a fast attack. I’m not going to go into great detail beyond this.




  • How is PopOS in the context of being able to do most things through a GUI or at least menus that don’t involve terminal usage, or hotkeys I have to constantly look up?

    PopOS is hotkey dependent, for certain, but its really only the ‘option’ key that you need. The option key, which gives you access to many things, including what I consider its greatest feature, which is the multi window desktop view.

    Its extremely intuitive. And it gives you something that if you’ve been on windows for a long time, you haven’t experienced, which is like a “many desktops” view of the world. I have a desktop view with my programs I’m running for utility purposes (terminal, system monitor, and a text editor.) I have another desktop set up with my work firefox windows and tabs. I have another with my communications (signal), and another with lemmy, and random stuff for shit posting/ entertainment. I hit the option key and scroll to get to any one of the desktops. If I need a program, I just tap option and start typing the programs name.
