Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

In a nutshell, Ubluntu is trying to take user control off its users. And the users are mad because of it.

And yes, I’m talking about snap.

why would a perfect God create a universe at all?

God is perfect – its creations are not.

And before you ask, “Why God created such flawed creations then if He is so perfect?”

Because only God is perfect.

Simply put – if God wanted to create perfect, flawless creations He have created us Gods. And we aren’t Gods.

“b-but why we suffer, why (insert negative outcome here)”

Because we aren’t God(s), but God creatures. For the same reason dogs cannot talk and rationale like us – we suffer, and God does not.

We haven’t, but there’s this thing called “hierarchy”. There is God, and its subordinates (angels, archangels, etc), and all the way under theres us – humans. And below humans, the rest of the Gods creations – dogs, cats, etc. And the logic behind this is diversity and beauty. And yes, even on a flaw (suffering, as mentioned here like a some sort of Gods curse rather than our “natural flaw” “why we suffer?”, etc) can bestow beauty on its own. Why? Because everything have sense when we acknowledge that God is behind all suffering – no matter how critical it is.Because He is Our Father, and The One and Only. We are His Children, and in suffering is how we learn that we are flawed and we need His Guidance.

I kinda tried to avoid being “biblical”, but I had to in the end, heh.

Imagine giving away user control and privacy for more battery life.

That’d be true if I were a Winblows tryhard. Thankfully, it’s not the case. :^)

Just moved to Linux: a follow up

I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol....

Trial-and-error is a beautiful thing, isn’t it?

t. Had to reinstall GNU/Linux several times through the course of months while trying new stuff and/or trying to improve the current ones.

@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Does it improve performance in any way? Seems a bit obvious, but I’ll ask anyways for the sake of curiosity.

Eh, “it just werks” just like Xorg – don’t know why folks still make such fuzz regarding this subject.

t. Managed to install Sway on a single board computer with zero Linux support – Orange pi zero 3.

Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like...

I too can’t wait to compile the kernel (and its modules) on cargo.

Openshot for me. It’s very lightweight and hassle-free.

Did you tried running it as another user? I’ve set binary ownership via chmod to the non-root user in the container.

    Day 6/9 of Lemmy Lecember

    Today I was passive-aggressive attacked by some users for sharing my work. The plebbit feeling is real.

    Imagine you are having a great time with someone of the opposite sex and suddenly s/he starts to eat you.

    Literally.

    “Gee, folks are hating up on snapd! Hah, I know! Let’s make our own .deb and --”

    “…but .deb files does not provide isolation or any other sandboxing-related feature.”

    I won’t spoil the whole thing for you, but a couple system-related things can be “masked” (i.e disabled) ending up in a half-functional system (i.e lots of error messages, loading times increased due to it but still functional.).

    I also cried internally when I saw Doom (“classic”) running at my Linux distro for the first time.

    Just you wait until you find out you can (almost) break the OS yet still make it work.

    Recommend security-first basic Linux Apps! (github.com)

    As part of the effort of making a “Chromebook-like” secure, autoupdating, cloud-native, “unbreakable” (but still free and privacy-friendly) Distro, I would like some of your recommendations on especially secure software, that could replace common ones like File managers, Archive Managers, PDF reader, Image viewer etc....

    firejail

    ufw

    And docker if you are paranoid. (You can completely shut off the network of specific commands – can’t get any better (and safer) than that!).

    Genuinely made me smile.
