tasankovasara, in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

GNU Guix. Need to do an Ayahuasca ceremony sometimes and try again with a much more radiant mind.

I literally liked parrotOS, but I had other priorities and abandoned it forever

noctisatrae,

It’s not meant to be a daily drive, hackerman!

buckykat, in File transfer to USB drive fails after 4.3 gb

flash drive is probably formatted FAT32 and that file is too big for that format. reformat the flash drive to exfat.

Edit: nevermind, apparently I was wrong.

xkforce,

Theyd need a ntfs driver to do anything. If you try to do what you are suggesting without one, bad things happen. Unless that part of the partition isn’t ntfs formatted.

For real? Even just cp?

xkforce,

We have a specific driver for reading and writing to ntfs for a reason.

bartolomeo,
@bartolomeo@suppo.fi avatar

What’s the reason? Honest question.

xkforce,

Why do you think anyone bothered to write a ntfs driver if you could read and write to ntfs without it? Why do you think windows cant read ext4? What do you think file systems are?

I know where you’re coming from.

The best way to be happy is to be kind. Seriously, just try it and come to your own conclusion. It works way better than trying to extract satisfaction from life, which actually just creates more dissatisfaction.

bluestarshield,

Sorry if it’s a noob question, but isn’t a live session something you do with a USB stick without installing? The file is currently on the Mint install I used to torrent it, along with my other daily-driver things.

NeoNachtwaechter,

isn’t a live session something you do with a USB stick

Or, something you do with a fit Latvian girl…

bluestarshield,

Man, those guys who down voted you have no sense of humor. You made a sex joke in response to my video game piracy joke!

LMGTFY

Use zip, rar or other tooling to split it into parts and reassemble on the destination.

Or use another filesystem, compatible with both targets.

bluestarshield,

It was already split by a fit Latvian girl of a Yarr-harr, fiddle-dee-dee persuasion, if you catch my drift. I really am afraid of fucking something up, so I’ll try other methods before splitting it further.

NeoNachtwaechter, in File transfer to USB drive fails after 4.3 gb

What file system is there on your USB drive?

bluestarshield,

When right-clicking the drive and selecting “properties”, the filesystem type is stated to be MSdos

otter,

I found this

MS-DOS (FAT) - This is Disk Utility’s name for the FAT32 filesystem.

So I think the advice about the FAT32 issue people mentioned is the issue :)

M500, in Why do you use the terminal?

It is quick. it does not need to load a bunch of things and in certain tasks, I can do multiple things at once.

I also find it easier to navigate and edit files with tab to complete.

Still, in "Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]

I think you can already do this in one shortcuts, not sure of any standalone program that does, if definably accidentally bond like Ctrl+d, Ctrl+s to screenshot before

toastal, in Why do you use the terminal?

I can use Fish’s history to jog my brain on actions I don’t quite remember. Remembering a sequence of screen menus to click thru is often much more tedious & error-prone. And when you have a commonly repeated process, it’s trivial to script because shell scripts are, well, scripts for that terminal shell.

Also the terminals applications are hella portable. I can use ssh/mosh over the network & have a similar or exact environment as my main PC on a remote box. vi was always a good enough editor.

AngryDemonoid, in Why do you use the terminal?

It’s just way faster for me most of the time. I can hit F12, do what I need, and be done without messing around with a mouse or touchpad.

Dio9sys, in Why do you use the terminal?

I like using the terminal because of 3 main reasons:

  1. I like using my keyboard
  2. I like doing multiple things in one window
  3. Verbosity

I’m pretty quick with typing, but sometimes I can’t see !y mouse at first, so it’s just faster for me to type out what I want to do as long as I know the right arguments for it.

My average workflow at work as me doing frequent saml logins and going between multiple kinds of databases. It’s just easier for me to run the saml cli command and then run the SQL CLI command I need instead of messing with datagrip settings and stuff. Also I recreationally run some servers and it’s just easier to ssh into the server, make the changes I need in something like nano or the redis CLI tools and then log back out. This means I’m just plain more comfortable on the terminal in certain situations like config editing, writing posts for my gemini capsule, etc.

Sometimes when I run a GUI program I’ll get big loud silence and don’t know what to do. In that case I genuinely enjoy using the terminal and running an equivalent command with verbosity settings so I can see what it’s doing or not and can track down any errors.

On top of those reasons, I’ve been playing with RISC-V architecture lately and, while the xorg riscv64 port is admirable, I just get better performance rn by running my RISC stuff through tty.

I recognize that not everybody is going to have the same use case and workflows as me, but I’m pretty comfortable with what I’ve got 😅

beeng,
  • verbosity

That mean you install powershell on linux?

Dio9sys,

No, I just run everything with -vvvvvvvvvv so I can see my computer yelling at me

beeng,

-vvvvvvvvv makes everything CAPS?

digdilem, in Why do you use the terminal?

Only one of the ~250 linux machines I maintain has a gui.

danielfgom, in Why do you use the terminal?
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

To be honest I hardly use it. I’m on Linux Mint Debian Edition and the built in updater does a great job. So I find myself never using the terminal

Lynx is faster 😎

spader312, in Why do you use the terminal?

You can use the terminal commands to automate tasks, build cicd etc. Navigating file tree and performing tasks is much quicker once you get the hang of it. Lastly it translates well on all distros and even on Mac, or windows with wsl or cygwin
