Saigonauticon, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

I only concern myself with ‘how’. ‘Why’ is a question for philosophers and cowards, of which I am neither.

So far so good, I see less toxicity than on big social media. I guess there are not enough people yet, I see mostly enthusiasts who are excited that they’re building something new. Perhaps because of that the probability of seeing or getting some unpleasant comments is lower. But I’m also quite picky in what posts I read, something related to Elon Musk or Threads doesn’t interest me.

BearPerson, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

You have ro spend some time making things work, I don’t always have the time.

Although I’m using WSL2 with Ubuntu because of the terminal.

abbadon420,

Wsl2 is great, but why no apt?

These are my list of changes. I still don’t use it full-time but I use it outside working hours. I use Ubuntu 23.04 and I dual boot with windows 11:

Install gnome extensions and “dash to panel”

Install Chrome from google site (.deb package)

Same for Steam

Install mangohud sudo apt install mangohud Source: github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud#debian-ubuntu

Disable Intel Bluetooth device so the realtek one is the only one. (Now there is a new option to also disable Intel Wifi adapter in the same word~ document).

Change default display for “Lockscreen”

Change the local time ( timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock enabled RTC in local time.

For Ryujinx I added this “vm.max_map_count=524288” to /etc/sysctl.conf because it was saying it fixes a crash with TOTK

Disk Performance (System hanging with encryption on the SSD): Disabled the ‘no-read-workqueue" and “no-write-workqueue” sudo gedit /etc/crypttab Added “discard” “no-read-workqueue” and “no-write-workqueue” at the end of the string.Looks like this: dm_crypt-0 UUID=4170cddc-59a8-4f4e-afdb-125f70004fef none luks,discard,no-read-workqueue,no-write-workqueue sudo update-initramfs -u -k all sudo reboot

Enable OC en AMD card (Source: linuxgamingcentral.com/…/increase-power-on-amd-gp…) sudo gedit /etc/default/grub Somewhere in that file should be a GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line, followed by a pair of quotation marks. In my case it looks like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash” We add amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff at the end. Example: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff” Sudo update-grub

Install codec bluetooth AAC for Pixel Buds (codec is lighter than SBC-XQ)

Be sure that bluetooth dongle MPOW is on USB2 and no USB3 which causes interferences (at least in Linux I can suffer it, but not in Windows).

Do the tutorial to make BT devices to work with “Dual Boot” between Ubuntu and W11 without needing to re-pair them everytime (for dualsense and pixelbuds).

Enable AMD ROCM (used to run apps like SDXL).

I ditched Linux after realizing my Nvidia card was just gonna sit there and rot

l3mming,

What does that mean?

Are you talking about about the lack of games on Linux? Because that makes no sense. Check out protondb.com

And if your GPU is still only lukewarm, Stable Diffusion runs better in Linux than Windows.

I really don’t want to delve into details, but even when I made gpu work there was noticeable drop in performance in games compared to when I ran them under Windows

Could’ve been a long time ago. Nvidia driver support hasn’t always been great.

elkaki, in Have you had any bad experiences with people on Lemmy?

Yes, I discussed with an andrew tate fan that asked “why do people get angry when I don’t respect pronouns of trans people” or something to that effect, a real shit stain but I think he got banned after a few hours

mojo, in [SERIOUS] How do you do figure out what job you want after high school?

Figure out your favorite hobby or whatever makes you feel the most fulfilled/happy. Look for a viable job/career that is related to that. Figure out the path to get into that career.

mojo, in What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?

Let me dress in cool trench coats without looking like some kind of creep. That and capes too.

brunofin,

I want to wear capes too

Carter, in [SERIOUS] How do you do figure out what job you want after high school?

I’m 29 and I still don’t know.

arcrust,

For real. Also 29 and have been taking night classes. After 2 years of school Ive changed my mind again. I just have no idea what I actually want to do.

I grew up always being told I was really smart and would go places. So I’ve built my life goals around trying to do something “grand”. I’ve only recently realized that I don’t HAVE to do anything. It’s OK to just exist and enjoy life. I’m still struggling to fully accept that, but I think I will eventually.

makanimike,

The most interesting people I know
Didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives

stsquad,

But trust me on the sunscreen 😁

dmmeyournudes, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

Simple compatibility and useability. It works with nothing and handles like I’m trying to have a debate over single channel walkie talkies. Does your audio interface work? Probably not. How about your keyboard software? Nope, not that either. Well surely it supports the most common GPUs for AI, gaming, and content development? No, it’s not officially supported. So when the only way you can use Linux without complications is just barebones equipment to edit flat text files or browse the internet in a web browser, you just ask yourself why bother when windows doesn’t force me to the terminal when I want to solve a simple problem.

tubbadu, in why does open source companies like canonical and opensuse don't host their own fediverse instances?

for KDE there is lemmy.kde.social

stealth_cookies, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

There is always some issue I run into that makes me angry and go back to Windows. Usually it is some random issue that breaks my installation at the most annoying time that I don’t have time to fix.

I’ve tried twice recently to mainly run Linux on my laptop (Framework) and ran into compatibility issues. First, the wireless card in my laptop worked on the installed kernel version for their recommended distro (Fedora), but when I updated the OS it upgraded to a kernel that didn’t have the Wifi driver. The other distros I tried had other hardware that didn’t work. I tried again a few months ago and that was fixed, but then I discovered that two pieces of software I need to run cannot coexist because one had graphical issues if you don’t use Wayland and the other only supports xorg. No issues running the same combination of software in Windows.

200cc,

Did you ask yourself why the wifi driver was missing?

mvee,

Quick! Deploy Xwayland before it’s too late!

mvee,

This reminds me of how I discovered that building a Linux kernel is actually super easy if you just need to add a few drivers

festus, in Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

I suppose I can technically answer this. I do use Linux full-time now and have for several years, but prior to that I had a few false starts where I’d switch back to Windows. Usually it was because I’d encounter some technical issue I just didn’t know how to fix besides reinstalling the whole OS, or a graphics driver issue. For example, at one point when I had an NVIDIA graphics card only the newest drivers from NVIDIA’s website supported it but the ‘stable’ drivers in Ubuntu’s repo didn’t, so I had to manually install the drivers. Except then whenever the kernel was updated by Ubuntu (basically every week) my display stopped working and I’d have to switch into a TTY and manually reinstall the drivers.

Now I know how I’d fix that (setup some rule to reinstall the drivers whenever the kernel updates, which I believe is now the default anyway), or use a PPA containing the latest NVIDIA drivers, or use AMD instead - but really any kind of problem that requires the user to both diagnose and fix the issue prevents non-technical people from adopting it.

Nobug404,

Avoid social media news at all costs.

quadrotiles, in Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?

There is definitely nothing wrong with you. There’s a reason the phrase “childlike wonder” exists. It’s normal for the newness and novelty of everything to amaze a child, and it’s normal for experiences to become routine to adults. Even if you do experience something new, there’s a very good chance that it’s similar enough to something you’ve experienced before. Brains are designed to find patterns and relate things back to past experiences as part of a survival instinct.

But there is also nothing wrong with people who don’t have the experience I described above. The above experience is probably more common for people with neurotypical brains. I’ve never been able to relate to “not feeling” or “feeling less”, even though it seems to be quite common. My feelings are always a live wire, dialed up to 100 (and honestly, I’m over people - including doctors - telling me how nice that must be). But there’s nothing “wrong” with my brain. It just functions differently, with different strengths and weaknesses. It’s like comparing a car and a motorbike. They have different driving sensations, require different skill sets and safety precautions, but they’re both vehicles that will get you from A to B.
