AI trying too hard these days…

regbin_, in How many tabs do you have open?

Around 5 or 6 most the time. I can’t manage more than that.

That’s a good number.

Pyr_Pressure, in Do you disable notifications for all your apps?

Ya, I only allow them for apps that I want to be notified for like email, Lemmy, etc basically messaging stuff.

If you don’t then some app somewhere is going to send you an ad as a “notification” which pisses me off to no end.

corsicanguppy, in How many tabs do you have open?

5-6 per open project at work and other work, so, about a thousand.

Really about 50-80 in 20 windows because I’ve only just learned of tab groups.

Rooki, in What Linux distro should I choose?

I moved away from Windows few months ago, and i would recommend linux mint, its easy, stable and beginner friendly. And you can of course Distro Hop to another distro. And with steams proton or wine (almost) every game can be run! For those few that doesnt run good or at all, you can still dual boot windows and linux mint.

My wild guess: “Jay” stands for “Jordans”, that is, a pair of shoes which are deemed to be very cool by most kids.

So, “Jay AF” could mean “cool as fuck”.

KISSmyOS, in What Linux distro should I choose?

Use Linux Mint until you know what other distro fits you better.

vodkasolution, in What Linux distro should I choose?

Ubuntu or Mint (Ubuntu based) are the clear winners, I see recently a mild return to Fedora and OpenSuse but I wouldn’t start with them

Why not? I’ve been using nobara KDE (fedora based) for the past weeks now (just a few weeks of pop os before) and I’m perfectly happy.

Tibert,

Well fedora isn’t really a beginner friendly distro. The community is much smaller, and there is a lot more outdated or bad advice circulating when searching an issue.

When I installed fedora on my laptop some months ago, I wanted to switch the ffmpeg install and get codecs installed. Even fedora’s documentation was outdated.

Only by searching and digging in some websites I found a command I had to do to make it world, in order to switch the ffmpeg version away from the open fedora version…

I see, that makes sense. thanks!

I am a experienced Linux user and I just use Ubuntu. Community support is good and it just works and gets out of your way, with that said I probably fiddle more with it than I realise… Depending on the system you install it on there is also a possibility that the hardware is tested and supported by the manufacturer. In my case I use it on a Thinkpad p52 workstation and a Dell XPS 13, both of which was/is sold with Ubuntu versions. And if you don’t like it just distrohop and go crazy, it can honestly be a lot of fun and a learning experience in itself Edit: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Long Term Support)

AnonStoleMyPants, in What Linux distro should I choose?

Honestly, just go with Ubuntu. If there are any problems you can very easily find answers. Second option would be the get something Ubuntu based, like Mint and Pop OS. Being based in it basically means they take Ubuntu and modify a bit to their liking but at the core they’re Ubuntu, meaning that almost everything you find for Ubuntu will work for them.

You can always switch later to something else if you feel like it.

1stTime4MeInMCU, in What Linux distro should I choose?

Unless you want to f around just install Ubuntu and be done with it

Jay, obviously, is a person who isn’t from the city — hence the term, Jaywalking! JK, but that is a real thing. It’s probably not the real answer here.

mycatiskai, in What companies have made your blacklist?

Sodastream because they were built on Palestinian occupied territory before they moved facilities back to Israel to avoid the bad press.

Spence Diamonds because they have the most annoying advertising and diamonds are bullshit carbon anyways.

Advertising being horrible is a huge red flag that your business is somewhere I won’t be going at all. Car dealerships giving away gold bricks, hot dogs, telling you they are your friendly neighbor, giving away trips or extras with every purchase means those things are all baked into the price already and you are spending more then elsewhere.
