I think adoption is king. The best solutions often fail when it comes to adoption, though. And starting a new solution when one is already adopted is not at all easy.

I understand that this author is working at a much lower level than the gamers and other casual users, so they will be much more likely to have to deal with the repercussions of poor design choices and edge-case bugs and missing functionality. But if they can make things work well enough when they are paid to do so, then adoption will continue. (On the other hand, they will also be the among the first to hit any showstopper issues if they do exist.)

I don’t think this kind of community is the best place for discussing nitpicky technical details because to most of us it is effectively whining about issues we will never have to deal with. (Nor is it a bad place, per se.) I think the comment would find a better home being digested by the technical experts who work on display solutions and other interoperating pieces of the larger environment. They are in a good position to weigh the criticism’s merits, and if any concerns are highly merited then they are the ones who would decide whether and how to design and and implement improvements.

IzyaKatzmann,

Great comment rat-salute-2

floofloof, in Terminal Utility Mega list!

htop is nice but btop is best top.

mvirts,

Spins forever

Steamymoomilk,

btop is very neat! Thanks for the addition to the list!

Your dissapointment about your own existence bleeds into the article, just shut the fuck up at this point :/

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Where does that come from? I’m awesome.

bus_factor, in Do you mount an embedded Linux file system to the workstation and use your host scripts or do you SSH/SCP and deal with the limited shell commands?

If you have ssh/SCP you can use sshfs to mount the remote host as a fuse filesystem. That would let you edit files on your workstation, but more or less all other commands would still need to happen on the remote system.

fhek, in My Linux Journey

Endeavour is arch, the arch wiki still applies.

Any issues I have with my eos install I refer to the arch wiki. And occasionally eos forums.

fortniteplaya,

That is true in the same way that Ubuntu is Debian. I prefer the base version where I can choose what’s necessary for me for resource management and troubleshooting purposes. I forget what it was, but there were a few issues where Endeavouros was not working properly and the Arch wiki solutions did not work for it, could have been my error as well at the time.

kzhe,

No it’s not. Endeavor literally is just Arch but purple and with an installer. Ubuntu makes many changes.

fortniteplaya,

Fair enough, I most likely broke the system due to not understanding it when using Endeavour. From my understanding now, someone can choose to not install de specific programs and additional endeavouros apps.

recursive_recursion, in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?
@recursive_recursion@programming.dev avatar

Ubuntu, felt like I was being treated like a child with the lack of user customizability

then I chose to jump directly into Arch Linux🙃 and saw despair from analysis paralysis, somehow I learned Arch in just a month tho🤷‍♀️

Build once, run natively on literally any PC OS including Windows and MacOS!

Squid,

Interesting read, love stuff like this but it seems they’d be a lot of dev overhead to truly make something large and agnostic but still gotta commend it!

Da_Boom, in Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

Because the vast majority of people don’t have a reason to do it. They’ve never used Linux before - heck there are people who have never heard of it before.

The other thing is you and I, chances are can find a use for our old machines, have a place to store it, or know how valuable it currently is. Most other people aren’t aware of how parts or entire systems depreciates, don’t have a use for a second computer, and can’t afford the storage space to store a spare PC for a backup. They also don’t really have time to do a lot of research on the issue or just plain old don’t care.

So what do they do? Well there only remaining option is to throw it away, maybe theyll be a bit wise and take it to an electronics recycler, where you have to trust it won’t get thrown away anyway.

blazeknave,

Exactly. Used mine to learn Linux and proxmox. I’m also someone’s who would be here.

ULS, (edited )

They will be in the ditches alongside rural roads with the tires, couches, and washing machines.

Nature at work. In 1000 years the government will pay child slaves to mine them for the new microchip implants. Smoggy fields of children burning plastics off metal to feed the dreams of the rich and elite.

The same as it ever was, the same as it always will be.

…I don’t know why I wasted my time making this useless post. 😑

May I interest you in lolcat?

CrabAndBroom,

There’s also dotacat written in Rust for people who find lolcat too slow.

vort3,
@vort3@lemmy.ml avatar

Because dota is better than lol. Lol.

Roman, in Cannot Install openSUSE or any other Distro

Have you tried disabling secure boot in the bios

CaptKoala,

My windows did this to me while I was dual booting with Mint, re-enabled secure boot when I went back to windows to check a wiki real quick.

qaz, in Looking to switch to Linux in the somewhat distant future

I recommend first switching Windows-only software to crossplatform software so you won’t have to get used to another operating system and different software at the same time.

MisterD,

For example: LibreOffice, Firefox, etc

Chewy7324, in December Updates: The Spirit of COSMIC

[…] you can now set a shortcut to move entire workspaces to another display as well.

Awesome! This makes working with multiple workspaces on multiple monitors so much better. For some reason it’s missing on all DE’s/OS I’ve tried and only found on some tiling compositors like sway and hyprland.

Linux 6.6.6 has also been released, bringing about the end of days, raining fire upon the lands, and setting in motion a new era some may call: 2024. May the cosmic entities save us all.

Great to see the beastly Linux kernel being acknowledged. Happy Holiday!

That’s already here with systemd 255 which released recently.

ominouslemon,

That’s the joke

RelativeArea0, in recommendations for lightweight window managers for an old netbook
Bipta, (edited )

Xfce is the best bang for your buck. Lxde isn't much lighter and I never enjoyed using it. I think Lxqt is somewhere between them.

jsh,

I second xfce. Stable, lightweight, easy to use, and modern (enough).
