radix, in Something to ruffle some penguin feathers: The Unix Hater's Handbook
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

[W]ould anyone have spent this much time and effort writing about how much they hated Unix if they didn’t secretly love it? I’ll leave that to the readers to judge, but in the end, it really doesn’t matter: If this book doesn’t kill Unix, nothing will.

I like the foreword so far.

Bene7rddso, in Something to ruffle some penguin feathers: The Unix Hater's Handbook

From the Foreword:

As for me? I switched to the Mac. No more grep, no more piping, no more SED scripts.

You can’t escape Unix

meyotch,

I always have Terminal open in the background. Never know when you might need to enact a dramatic hacker scene. I just can’t believe what they charge for thise minitors that project text onto your face.

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

I’m currently using Arch (btw), but I have been hearing the distant call of NixOS lately…

CrabAndBroom, in Easy way to try out a bunch of different DEs?

I find sometimes installing a bunch of different DEs can cause weird cross-issues, so I tend to just make VMs to try out new things. I have a bunch of them on an external drive like little specimen jars lol.

Also as a side note, I keep a VM that’s as close to my current setup as possible, so if I get the urge to try something weird I can do it there first and see if it breaks anything.

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

Guix since 2 years now. I use it to provision all my systems and having a unified configuration in Guile is just a joy

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

I’ve been enjoying Mint personally for my laptop. I’ve tried Ubuntu but I’ve had issues with the speakers :/

THE_ANON,

Yea ubuntu breaks a lot atleast for me it does

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

Alpine was the most interesting for me. It goes against the tendency of complicating the systems. I have to use Arch because everything can work on that distro.

Drito, in Easy way to try out a bunch of different DEs?

You can use live isos. Some distros, such as Manjaro or Fedora spins, has several isos, one per DE.

TCB13, in Docker team is considering distributing Docker Desktop as a Flatpak and Snap
@TCB13@lemmy.world avatar

Let’s make mounts and permissions even harder to get right! But I’m totally up for a flathub release.

Chewy7324, in Docker team is considering distributing Docker Desktop as a Flatpak and Snap

At first I read only docker without the context of the Docker Desktop client.

Making docker a one-click installation on all distros is great, altough I wouldn’t use it myself.

If they actually make a flatpak I wonder whether they’ll only support rootless docker or if it’ll ask for elevated permissions through polkit.

bismuthbob, in 32-bit distro suggestions for 2007 MacBook
@bismuthbob@sopuli.xyz avatar

Something a bit more out-of-the-box: I used to run 64-bit linux on a 2,1 Macbook Pro. Similar specs, including the same RAM ceiling. The isos are a bit out of date, but you can always install one and then upgrade from there. <a href="">https://mattgadient.com/linux-dvd-images-and-how-to-for-32-bit-efi-macs-late-2006-models/</a>

Whoa! Thank you!

openSUSE Tumbleweed still supports 32bit x86.

Frederic, in 32-bit distro suggestions for 2007 MacBook

Pretty sure you can run MX Linux 32bits on it

drwho, in Random application segfaults on Arch

Are you keeping an eye on system temperature?

NoisyFlake,

Yeah, temperatures are usually between 40-50 °C, so that should be fine.

drwho,

Yeah, that should be fine.

Anything in the kernel message buffer? dmesg -T | less

NoisyFlake,

I’m not sure, here’s the entire dmesg output: pastebin.com/MZfhB0xK

drwho,

I’m not seeing anything relevant to lockups or crashes in there. Pretty boring logs.

drwho, in Something to ruffle some penguin feathers: The Unix Hater's Handbook

A classic! Way back when it used to be recommended on as a good introductory text (until O’Reilly started publishing books on Linux, anyway).
