The one in middle is peak design.

shotgun_crab,

Firefox logo from that era was also peak design

FQQD,

I agree, but the 4th one is very close to being the best

Fjaeger,

Agreed, it’s a shame nowadays every logo goes for the exact same simplistic design.

TheEntity,

Beak design.

bizdelnick, in How is your experience with Fedora as a server?

Don’t use Fedora in prod. Dixi.

idiocy,

Prod?

Production. Live environment. Actually using it to provide some service for paying customers.

idiocy,

Can I ask why?

jollyrogue,

Fedora releases newer software versions regularly, and this can be a problem for third party software.

GnomeComedy,

Production. Means “anything important”.

Nothing. Linus doesn’t personally do coding on the kernel, he has a team who do that and he oversees it and makes the hard decisions.

There are others who will take his place and the work will continue.

If somehow the entire kernel team shut down, Google, Samsung or some other large corporation would take it over and continue development because at this point many, many, many servers, phones, smart devices, iot, and other appliances rely on the Linux kernel to function.

It simply cannot be left to die.

Perkele!

AssholeDestroyer,

Do I know this from Alan Wake 2 or My Summer Car?

mihor,

Fun fact, Linus is Swedish speaking. :)

Hotzilla,

He speaks both languages, and in general Swedish Finns curse in finnish

“Today here at Microsoft we are celebrating the legacy of the late Linus Torvalds by releasing a new kernel, re-written entirely in Golang using Copilot. No GPL code was touched, merely re-written, and we will offer ISOs to the coding community for free! Stay tuned for more updates, as we will be exclusively developing on this kernel going forward! This is a great day for open source!”

Nothing. Linus doesn’t personally do coding on the kernel, he has a team who do that and he oversees it and makes the hard decisions.

Even that is not really the truth. There are dozens and dozens of teams that actually do the development, then there are people who coordinate and maintain certain parts of the kernel, merge in patches and make decisions. And then there’s Linus who does coordinate these people.

There are others who will take his place and the work will continue.

And most likely Greg K-H will take over the position that Linus has right now. He has been one of the most active maintainers and is probably “the number 2” behind Linus.

ExLisper, in What happens when Linus dies/retires?

A number of candidates will create their own forks and there will be a long Game of Thrones style war between different factions. After couple of weeks each distro will choose the fork they will make the default one and people will split into warring factions. After that we will enter a nuclear winter style period lasting couple of years during which 90% of post on Lemmy will be just shitposting the rival forks. After a decade or two of backstabbing, dirty politics and other drama new dictator will be selected and all will be back to normal.

state_electrician, in Searching for espeak alternatives

There are alternatives listed here too: discuss.tchncs.de/post/6215470

I find all the ones like espeak, piper, festival to be awful. The voices are OK-ish, but intonation and pronunciation are so very bad. Tortoise is OK, but slow and not for long texts. Paid services like Google, AWS or Elevenlabs are miles ahead. There is a number of CUDA-based engines (provided in the comments of the post I linked) that you supposedly can use if you have a nVidia GPU available. I don’t, so they are not for me.

mtchristo, (edited ) in What happens when Linus dies/retires?

For a moment I thought this post was about the LTT host. And was like they could replace him with any of his doppelgangers in the group and no one will notice.

luthis, (edited )

That is what this post is about, IDK who this Torvalds guy is.

we have all been using BETAMAX this whole time, not Linux. O_o

Shatur, (edited ) in Should I install Linux on my smartphone?
@Shatur@lemmy.ml avatar

I daily drive GNU/Linux on my Phone (PinePhone Pro), I would say it usable, but Android is way more practical.

Also not a lot of devices can run GNU/Linux and have fully functional HW due to missing drivers. And only 3 phones of them can run mainline kernel.

Waydroid works fine, I use it for banking apps, but it’s a bit slow on my specific device.

@luthis

There will be so many forks trying to continue a Kernel based on linux and i think a few will succeeded! We may use arch kernel or debian kernel in the future.

Lettuceeatlettuce, in How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?
@Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml avatar

I personally only use Linux now for all my computers. I follow a philosophy for any software solutiom I need that goes like this:

  1. Use a FOSS solution or,
  2. Use a proprietary solution that has a native Linux build/browser version or,
  3. Use a cracked/pirated version in Wine/Windows VM.

Personally, I am absolutely committed to no more Windows for my personal computing, I have been for years. That means that if I cannot do one of those three options in that order, I don’t use that software/solution.

Unless you are doing a lot of specialized software work, those three options should have you covered. I’m curious what software you use that doesn’t work with any of those 3 categories.

Advanced CAD/CAM stuff there isn’t much in FOSS. Same with specialized Audio production work and advanced photo-manipulation. Specialized device support can be spotty too, but that varies wildly. Those are the only software categories off the top of my head that I know don’t really have good FOSS solutions.

Swiggles, in AMD+Wayland+dual monitor = Screen flickering

You could try disabling VRR in your display settings. I believe it is set to auto by default if supported, but it does not work properly for some monitors causing flickering.

rar, in cheapest new computer running linux <$500

I assume you’re just getting into Linux? Avoid Chromebooks for this (running linux as beginner) - there are ways of running Linux, but they require some tricks dpending on the model.
