NotATurtle, in What's your experiences with Debian and Rocky as a homeserver OS?

What surprised me with debain, it comes as a very minimal installation, so you will have to set up stuff like sudo yourself.

exu,

If you don’t set a root password, it’ll add your user created during the install to the sudo group.

blipblip, in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

Nix

toastal,

Package manager or language?

Any exciting features coming up with plasma 6?

HDR support is the feature I’m mostly looking forward to.

My version is 20240107. Apple has some catching up to do.

toastal,

Imagine someone thinking 07012024 would be a better scheme 😂

nossaquesapao, in Some of y'all need to see this and drop the superiority complex...

non ironically, firefox did a jump in version numbers after firefox 4 because people were seeing the low number compared to other browsers, and would think they were behind technically.

Acters,

One of those bigger numbers is better herd instincts

While true & I remember folks actually using this in arguments for ‘slow development’, there is some merit to versioning differently for something expected to get minor updates to perpetually follow latest specs such. I can’t imagine trying to discern what a “breaking change” would be in this context. Or would you make a new version for every visual redesign? Dates might have just made more sense, but maybe ESR is easier to follow with the current scheme.

OpenSUSe. Tumbleweed as a rolling bistro is amazingly stable, yast is nice, and it all just works great. Leap for the servers, and things are solid.

Evil_Shrubbery, (edited )

OpenSUSE for me too.

I also switched family & friends to Thimbleweed (since a bit too snappy Ubuntu) & it’s been great.

milicent_bystandr,

I should think so too. A Thimbleweed sounds an excellent plant for an Evil_Shrubbery.

Evil_Shrubbery,

My evil plans have been discovered!!

Regardless the evil plant army must grow. Rolling thimbleweeds are usually our scouts and assassins (rarely kamikaze when on fire, looks cool tho).

What I’m saying is that you better be on the lookout, maybe hide if you see a thimbleweed with a gun or knife.

Dio9sys,

Same. Tumbleweed here. All the benefits of the rpm ecosystem but with less hassle and more updates

milicent_bystandr,

I, too, get my coffee from the rolling bistro.

kalpol,

Loool I’ll leave it

danielfgom, in What's your favorite music player on Linux?
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Lollypop. Simple interface that shows me album art. I can’t always remember band names or artist names but I know what the damn album cover looks like 👍

procrastinare,

Agreed.

The feature I like the most in Lollypop is the party mode. It lets the user select various music genres from your library and it plays songs that match the selected options

danielfgom,
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

I must try that. Thanks 👍

YawnTor, in What's your experiences with Debian and Rocky as a homeserver OS?
@YawnTor@infosec.pub avatar

I have a home lab consisting of 9 mini PCs running Docker Swarm. They’re from various manufacturers, Intel, ASRock, Minisforum, etc. I originally tried to use Debian to build out the environment but it couldn’t find the network interfaces, or storage, or whatever else. So I made a Rocky 9 install drive and tried that. Every machine came up with all hardware recognized on the first try. So, that’s what I’ve been running for just about two years now. No complaints.

PrivateNoob,

Good to hear that. How many containers do you run if you need 9 mini PCs for those?

YawnTor,
@YawnTor@infosec.pub avatar

I use three systems for manager nodes so they don’t get much work. Mostly Traefik and a few other administrative services. I have about 80 containers running on the six worker nodes.

I’m going to invoke Poe’s Law and not assume this is sarcasm.

CallumWells,

Is that that thing where someone says something wrong to get the right answer explained to them?

p03locke,
@p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

No, that’s the thing where somebody Googles the result and gets the right answer.

Caboose12000, in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

Nobara, as a gamer first it’s the perfect distro for me

kusivittula,

i wish i had an amd gpu… until then i’m stuck with mint. loved nobara, but it’s a mess with nvidia.

Caboose12000,

I have a GTX 1070 and I’ve had almost no issue on nobara

kariboka,

Wayland?

Caboose12000,

yup

Yerbouti,

Works perfectly with my 2080ti.

kusivittula,

3060ti here, and two critical issues. #1: parts of the UI like taskbar, title bars of random windows and entire windows behind those become unresponsive or black after about 1 hour of use, needs a reboot. #2: suspend pc -> monitor (oled tv) goes to sleep -> no signal when i resume. needs forced reboot. same thing if it automatically suspends. happens on both, official and kde versions, and no amount of googling has helped. i suspect something may be wrong with my card, because even windows had intermittent issues when resuming from sleep, and tons of crashes on nearly all games. curiously though, mint has none of these issues?!

Octagon9561, in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

Fedora’s my favorite. It’s also the most secure without going straight to QubesOS, which is not beginner friendly.

BlueDepth9279,

Just switched to Fedora after bouncing between Ubuntu and Manjaro. Really digging Fedora and kicking myself for waiting so long to try it out.

gerdesj, in Some of y'all need to see this and drop the superiority complex...

My phone is on 23. Nextcloud is on 27.

I’m Arch and so is my wife (actually) and it doesn’t have a version. We just roll … and today my dongled, wireless mouse has stopped moving. The buttons still work and my laptop touchpad works fine.

wtf!

Limit,

They make a pill for that…

atlasraven31, in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

Custom North Korean linux. Preinstalled missile tracking software.

Penguincoder,

NSA would like to know your location. Enable?

atlasraven31,

You would think Pyongyang but really chilling on a rocking chair in McMullen, Alabama. Population: 10.

@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz avatar

Pop OS, it’s just brilliant.

Hadriscus,

What about the fact that it’s based on Ubuntu, can you still install programs packaged as flatpaks ?

model_tar_gz,

Pop!_OS uses flatpaks, not snaps. It’s a good thing.

Hadriscus,

oh nice !

AlmightySnoo, in Linux in the corporate space
@AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world avatar

It depends. I’m working in the quant department of a bank and we work on pricing libraries that the traders then use. Since traders often use Excel and expect add-ins, we have a mostly Windows environment. Our head of CI, a huge Windows and Powershell fan, once then decided to add a few servers with Linux (RHEL) on them to have automated Valgrind checks and gcc/clang builds there to continuously test our builds for warnings, undefined behavior (gcc with O3 does catch a few of them) and stuff.

I thought cool, at least Linux is making it into this department. Then I logged into one of those servers.

The fucker didn’t like the default file system hierarchy and did stuff like /Applications and `/Temp’ and is installing programs by manually downloading binaries and extracting them there.

knexcar, (edited )

To be fair, the three-letter directories aren’t particularly intuitive. “Bin”? Like the “Recycle Bin”? Or is it short for “Binary” files? But isn’t everything on the computer stored in binary? Is “dev” for developers? Is “run” for running programs? Is “opt” for options? What is “ect” even for, files that can’t find another home? In Windows, the folder names make sense and have complete sentences like “Program Files” and “Users”. I can understand someone wanting to replicate the same thing on Linux.

Hadriscus,

what do all these mean ? if you have a good resource at hand

VelveteenUnderground,
Hadriscus,

Cheers
