Tattorack, in what caused you to get into Linux?
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

I wanted to switch to Linux for several years because I was very sick of how Windows did things.

With Valve doing Proton and Windows 11 being a much shittier Windows 10… With rumours of it eventually becoming a FORCED update!.. I decided to actually switch to Linux last November.

Haven’t regretted it. Haven’t used any other OS since.

Stop feeding the troll…

why would I be a troll? I’m sorry, but I’m just saving money for a Chromebook, they are cheap and nice and I can use them for Python!!

Maybe I have mistaken you for a troll, but your behavior and recent posts on this community say otherwise as they are low-effort and look like bait. Asking questions is always a good thing, I don’t want to discourage you from that. Though you should keep the hypothetical, unrealistic ones in your head as they are contributing nothing here and only waste other people’s time.

It seems you are just young and naive judging from your profile picture, so here’s some advice:
Post less, and research/read more before asking anything. It’ll make you grow faster, not only as a developer, but it also teaches you to think things through better and so you can learn things easily in the future. (RTFM anyone?)

ok thank you, I have been visiting Tkinter forums and guides and also how to download Flatpak, and that has been so nice. I’m very sorry for asking a lot but I want to be part of the community!!! n.n And by the way I’m not young, I’m 20 so I have lived a life c:

KISSmyOS, in Ipod problems
Fizz, in Thinkpads RE: Repairability/upgradability
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Why not framework? Thinkpads were good but I doubt the new ones follow the same principles.

rosew0od,

Can you get a used framework for $200?

If you’re willing to repair it I’m sure you could

sekhat, in what caused you to get into Linux?

I started using Linux many moons ago when the LAMP stack was common for web development. (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP). But that was only on servers. It’s only in the last couple of years I’ve switched to seriously using Linux on the Desktop. I finally got fed up of Microsoft writing software as if using their OS meant they owned my machine and they could do what they liked with it. So I’ve switched. While windows still sits on a partition due to a couple of games, I find I’m going months without needing to touch it. I suspect I’ll be rid of windows entirely in the near future.

Windows kept getting in the way of my productivity (I constantly needed to find workarounds for problems that didn’t exist or were much easier to solve on linux, and I couldn’t customize the ui to my liking) + it lacked basic things like a tabbed file-manager (before win11) and my hardware was getting slower so I jumped ship.

I got into Linux because BSD didn’t have enough hardware support.

Sophia7Inches, in what caused you to get into Linux?

Certain games wouldn’t run in Windows, but ran perfectly fine on Linux. This was the tipping point for me to fully switch to Linux. Gaming never been so smooth and pleasant for me as it is on Linux now. No more random crashes, driver shit, etc.

catastrophicblues, in what caused you to get into Linux?

Curiosity, followed by realizing how good it is for development.

knfrmity, in How to take actions on multiple docker containers at once

You can use the container names to address containers. Whether this is a randomly generated name (docker run… with no --name flag), the compose working dir and service name, or the compose container_name var.

I also rarely use the container command. docker is sufficient, or docker compose … while in the working dir of a given compose stack.

Bratwurstboy, in what caused you to get into Linux?

I always liked tinkering with shit. Modding gameboys, custom fw on my phones and psp… It was the next logical step.

Caitlynn, in what caused you to get into Linux?

My Mainboard had somesort of error, where Windows wouldnt Work, Linux did tho

somegeek, in what caused you to get into Linux?

My philanthropic beliefs and love of freedom. I was absolutely amazed when I found out about open source and free software. Then I got to it and loved it even more, the community, the UI and DEs, how much you could customize everything and how much choices you had. But mostly it is the philosophical beliefs that makes me love linux. Even if it is not better than some alternatives in some aspects, I willl still stand by it.

aodhsishaj, in Can I mod my Thinkpad Keyboard to work in another laptop?

You could ssh to your clevo from your thinkpad, or get a bluetooth keyboard, the keychron or royal kludge are great and can be had for under a 100, or you could desolder the keys on the clevo and replace them with scissor switches like in this article tomshardware.com/…/kailh-laptop-switches-scissor-…

Pantherina,

Hahah the point is that my Thinkpad is not trustworthy as the firmware is garbage and not updated since forever. Like, this is a security nightmare?

Pantherina,

Interesting project, but desoldering keys? That sounds like a hell of pain…

ReversalHatchery, in Ubuntu Linux Squeezes ~20% More Performance Than Windows 11 On New AMD Zen 4 Threadripper Review

So this is not about ubuntu, but really just any kind of linux? What a shitty title

floofloof,

Ubuntu is relatively heavy. Lighter distros probably do even better.

RTRedreovic,

Always did on my hardware at least. When I was using Windows, my old laptop started lagging very much and it was becoming unbearable. I could not get a new one immediately. I got to know about Linux one day and installed it to try it out because there was not really anything else I could try.

I could not believe myself how buttery smooth my laptop became after that. 95% of the games that I used to play on Windows run with more performance on Linux.

I’m typing this on an 8-or-9-year-old laptop that used to be a Windows machine years ago. Exact same experience–it got too sluggish so I wiped it and installed Linux and it’s been fine ever since.

I sure am eyeing that new Framework, though… :)

wviana,

Yeah. Maybe even better with a distro with a more updated kernel btw.

Patch, (edited )

It’s not a “shitty title”, because Ubuntu Linux is the thing they actually tested.

Whether Debian or Fedora or Alpine or Void or whatever would do better or worse is not a given, and isn’t something the OP can comment on because they didn’t test it.

We can probably infer that gains of a similar amount would be seen on most mainstream distros (as they’re all pretty similar under the covers), but that’s not on the OP.

In particular, Ubuntu ships with various non-free drivers and kernel patches that will be present in some, but not all other distros.

ReversalHatchery,

If course it’s not on the OP, it’s on Phoronix. This is a shitty title from any party, but from them last least I would have expected more, instead of just attributing the performance to a specific distribution, the most corporate-y one no less.

java, (edited )

Linux, the kernel, doesn’t operate in isolation. The system under test was Ubuntu, which comes with specific packages, package versions, patches, kernel configuration, and so on. It is reasonable to say that the combination between this specific operating system and hardware led to the observed outcome. Different combinations of software and hardware may yield other results or replicate the same outcome. The certainty of these outcomes can only be established through testing. Therefore, your outrage seems unwarranted, and your assertion is not only baseless but incorrect.
