UnfortunateShort,

I like the thought that the first contact might be with people living in exile, because they were fed up with their society killing itself and their planets.

Space hippies. I’m sure they’d have memes.

UnfortunateShort,

Besides the points made - using their own repos. It kind of defeats an important point of using Arch, if you don’t use the official repos as your main source of packages imo.

It’s a rolling release. You have to let it roll. Arch already has testing repos, there is zero need to test outside of them.

UnfortunateShort,

The entirety of Germany: Am I a joke to you

UnfortunateShort,

If I’d have to choose I’d go with Window or Tree, I’m not fully convinced of either tho… I like Konqi in the Window one.

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

UnfortunateShort,

I can respect GNOME, it’s just not for me. There are a lot of other DE’s I really don’t get, for example: Xfce, Mate, Budgie, LXQt, any pure WM desktop in existence, the list goes on… But if people still develop them, I guess there is a market.

UnfortunateShort,

Hotels have brainwashed us into thinking putting stuff on other people’s pillows is acceptable! Don’t touch my pillow : <

UnfortunateShort, (edited )

It is actually very easy:

  1. You setup auto-snapshots (almost trivial)
  2. You update
  3. Evaluate
    3.1) Repeat goto 2
    3.2) Rollback goto 2

The only problem here is that snapshots (and btrfs for that matter) are not the default behaviour. I would really appreciate Endeavour having this as the default setup. It is very likely what you’d want.

UnfortunateShort,

Yes, Garuda does, even with bootable snapshots, but it’s otherwise not as clean as Endeavour. As far as I can tell, mkinitcpio/GRUB2 or their setup thereof causes more problems than it solves. My system was bricked multiple times until I switched to a dracut/systemd-boot setup, which works flawlessly since quite a while.

As for the user experience, there are 0 distros you should perform a (major) upgrade on without taking a snapshot first. I had broken systems after apt upgrade. From my point of view rolling vs versioned release are basically occasional mild vs scheduled huge headaches.

UnfortunateShort,

I’d say Linux today is a lot more interesting. Plus most people still don’t really care about there OS, but some now care about privacy.

That said, I don’t know why you would complain over Win11. Privacy violations aside, it’s much better than 10 imo.

UnfortunateShort,

What should I tell you, I immediately liked it more than Win 10.

People also use Android phones and Macs and have Accounts for that. If you seriously believe this is going to drive the masses away, I have bad news for you.

Everything you listed are just small factors among many. I’m quite positive the Steam Deck / Valve are doing more for Linux’s popularity than anything Microsoft did wrong combined.

UnfortunateShort,

What do you mean? I have yet to find a way to install any game on Windows older than ~20 years.

UnfortunateShort,

And now back to reality:

Step 1) Install EndeavourOS Step 2) There is none.

UnfortunateShort,

I respect your optimism

UnfortunateShort,

Look at that fancy people on the upper floors having AC and the only nice balcony

UnfortunateShort,

Why the hell would you even have this photo. 100% just the photographer trying how far they can go before the model says something lol

UnfortunateShort,

I’ve been wondering this, but never really looked into the matter: Is spaying/neutering really an ethical thing to do? Doesn’t it affect cats in some negative way, besides taking away their ability to reproduce?

I’ve been thinking about adopting cats, which would be sterile anyway, but it doesn’t exactly seem like a nice thing to do if you can avoid it : \

banning and defederating communities

Hey all, I recently left reddit like many of you. I have a question regarding lemmy and the fediverse on the history of banning and defederation. I have noticed several posts calling for varying communities to be disconnected. were these removal requests as prevalent before the mass migration? Usually I am all for communities...

UnfortunateShort,

The reason I am on lemmy.world is that so far, they have basically blocked nothing and that is the experience I'm looking for. I want to be the one who decides what I see.

That said, others prefer a more curated experience and thus choose other instances. That's the beauty of the fediverse, you can have both.
