Yes officer, this heretic right here.

Then do it? It’s a free operating system – just download whatever distro pleases you, give it a spin, see what happens.

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.

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...

Does a single board computer counts as a phone? Then a Orange pi zero 3. (Not like theres anything else to do other than read/lurk online communities, code and the occasional cloud gaming nowadays, so eh.)

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.

GustavoM,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

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.

GustavoM,

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.

Asides from “ew installing Winblows stuff in my distro ewwww” that will be a gamechanger if they do it right.

No, but I used this back when I was a little penguin and I had to “see” something working on Linux.

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

@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.

GustavoM,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

When folks will stop with the “If Linux won’t become another Windows, it’ll fail” mentality? Linux is not Winblows – and we really mean it. To “increase adoption” users need to acknowledge (only) this – that both Windows and Linux differs from one another and that won’t change in any time soon.

GustavoM,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

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

GustavoM,

If that means an AI-assistant of sorts (like “that OS name that cannot be spoketh”) I’m game.

Will that make some users freak out and make it sound like its doomsday, even if they implement a on/off toggle to the AI assistant? Probably.

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,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

It’s fun and games… until you get lots of “…just like X command?” commentaries from randoms. Until you get sick of such and decide to do something non-productive instead. Unless there is money included in the former.

t. Been there, done that.

GustavoM,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

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

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

    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.).

    NixOS on OnePlus 6 with Extra Steps, or the Diary of my Descent into Madness (pavluk.org)

    My biggest blog post yet, and it’s about running (almost) vanilla NixOS on a (formerly) Android phone! This was 50% fun and 50% exhausting… you solve one issue and another one crops up right away… it was certainly an interesting educational experience....

    Why do you hate yourself this much?

    j/k. nicely done. I’d feel like a hacker if I could do this on my phone, but I’m too scared to brick it.

    @GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

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

    GustavoM,
    @GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

    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.

    Day 6/9 of Lemmy Lecember

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

    “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.”

    “OH, SHUT UP NERD!”
