Bonus tip:

ci" means change inside “” ca" means change around “”

the " can be replaced with any of: ({[wspbt

For changing inside or around parentheses, curky brackets, square brackets, words, sentences, paragraphs, code blocks and HTML tags respectively.

So for example if you want to replace all parameters in a function call you just do ci(

But that’s not all, the c is one of the possible operators, but not the only one.

di{ deletes the content of a block ya[ copies the content of something inside square brackets g~iw swaps the case of a word guis makes a sentence lower case gUip makes a paragraph upper case

And the most useless one: g?at replaces the content of an HTML tag with its rot13

thanks for the insightful comment. I’ve saved it for future reference.

QuazarOmega, in Alpine Linux is just Busybox in a Linux Distro trenchcoat

What is up with some of those letters? Looks like some AI generated image text that I’ve seen

davidgro,

The people also have the AI look

NaibofTabr,

Nah, having your teeth growing out of your lip is totally normal. So is having your forearms merge into each other.

GigglyBobble,

Don't be so hard on it - at least some hands have five fingers.

You can buy a external AR9271 WiFi adapter for $20 thats fully free software/free firmware.

0x4E4F,

Or switch wifi cards, have done that as well when there was no other option.

Instant upvote because KDE is stupid underrated

FMEEE,

I don’t think it’s that underrated. But yah it’s a little underrated.

sagedemage, (edited ) in A repost from r/linuxmemes - Because I saw the original comic

I hate to say it to you guys but Linux Mint is really just about the desktop and their initial setup of Ubuntu.

I personally care about unique and usable distributions:

  • Ubuntu (Really excellent foundation for a stable Desktop)
  • Debian (Rock solid but can be dated for Desktop)

There are unique distributions but not usable for doing work like programming full time and other things:

  • Arch Linux (I personally not comfortable updating this distro)
  • Gentoo (I am not high to actually use this distro)
lseif,

sure but for a beginner, those two pros are essential

averyfalken, (edited )

Mint is also a really stable foundation and comes with cinnamon mh preferred desktop and goes hard right outside the box for me

Hand has time shift installed by default so I just have to remember to set it up on install

Legisign,

Well, Mint also corrects some of Ubuntu’s mistakes. It doesn’t force feed you Snap, for instance.

fatzgebum,

Instead it hides snap and acts as if it didn’t exist.

Legisign,

That’s usually good enough.

shrugal, (edited ) in big deal

Linux is a name, not a description of the parts. It can mean just the kernel, or the entire family of operating systems, depending on the context.

It’s what we settled on, and there is no point in debating the name unless there is a real problem with it.

phoenixz, in Using Fedora Atomic is like...

Still better than snap

ichbinjasokreativ,

Having compared snaps in ubuntu 23.10 to flatpaks on opensuse tumbleweed, I can safely say that snaps tend to be faster for me with less weirdness happening during usage. Some programs were the same (obsidian for example) other comparisons were done from the same category (Firefox snap vs chromium flatpak). I genuinely prefer snap and don’t see the issues people often quote. Also, that the backend isn’t open isn’t a big deal to me, as snaps themselves generally still are.

Synthead, in Using Fedora Atomic is like...

Flatpak: “I would switch from Windows to Linux, but Linux is too bloated”

dipshit, in Just because it’s better than windows doesn’t make it good

Why is BSD listed twice?

sv1sjp, in alias 2024='echo "YEAR OF THE DESKTOP"'
@sv1sjp@lemmy.world avatar

Many people and even businesses are still running Windows XP and Windows 7 and we are still talking about security updates on Windows 10?😂 People will never take their security seriously if they don’t lose a lot of money at first…

AceFuzzLord,

A big problem is that there are hospitals and medical facilities using old versions of windows for reasons like the cost of upgrading all their computers or more importantly legacy software that they have to use just simply not working on more recent versions for various reasons. As much as having an up to date OS is important for safety, it’s just not feasible in some areas and it’s terrifying.

vpz, in So sad when it happens

I’ve run Linux for years on servers and in VMs in VMware Workstation, but not my main OS because of games. I’ve tried before but games just didn’t work well. Tried again recently and the games I’m playing now worked with no issues with Lutris and Steam. I could already do “everything else” on Linux so this is the longest I’ve gone without booting back to my Windows disk. Already have a Kali VM in virt-manager and will add a Windows VM if I hit an application snag. But so far haven’t had any app issues. If this continues I’ll be wiping the Windows disk to make more space for Linux.

Croquette,

I only have windows for gaming because HDR isn’t yet supported on Linux. The moment that Linux is supporting HDR, I am done with windows forever.

neshura,
@neshura@bookwormstory.social avatar

IIRC Plasma 6 is planned to launch with HDR is some form or another of Testing Stage so it shouldn’t take too long anymore.

theonyltruemupf,

There already is HDR support on the new steam deck, isn’t there?

neshura,
@neshura@bookwormstory.social avatar

Yes because Valve maintains their own compositor. You can enable that HDR support on desktop as well through some workarounds but it’s not really usable outside the SteamDeck yet.

500GB? Teeny drive

yum,

Man I’m just poor

aBundleOfFerrets,

I run 128gb on my laptop lol

AlecSadler,

Wait, how? I have zero games installed on my 1TB laptop and still only have like 300GB free.

olafurp,

I want to get 2-4 TB because of torrents

guskikalola,
@guskikalola@vivaldi.net avatar

@olafurp @AlecSadler What kind of data hoader are you?!
I mean, if you can afford that sure, but I find it unnecesary.
Also, how do you plan to backup that much storage? just curious about the last one, I always find it hard to backup more than 100 GB of media

olafurp,

Jellyfin hoarder type. My dream setup is something like 16TB bay with a Raspberri pi

guskikalola,
@guskikalola@vivaldi.net avatar

@olafurp I have 1TB SSD storage on my rpi and I delete series once I have watched them, otherwise I eventually run out of storage if I don't. Well, good luck, but maybe before upgrading your storage you should upgrade your home server, a rpi is powerfull but you will eventually face problems related to I/O and CPU limitations

dustyData, (edited )

If you’re not encoding and there’s only like one or two users at a time, it’s plenty. Now if you want to encode on the fly to a myriad of formats and serve your entire extended family and friends, then it will choke. But people rarely do that.

guskikalola,
@guskikalola@vivaldi.net avatar

@dustyData The RPi4 4GB model already struggles being me the only user, I have a bunch of services but RAM is not the problem nor is the cpu, the main problem in my case is the i/o limitation. I boot from the USB, while most operations don't suppose much load for the system, as soon as I start writing to the disk series or even update dockers the system starts to slow down.

redcalcium,

Have you seen the size of modern AAA games? Typical AAA games is like 100GB these days. Heck, Call of Duty is like 400GB.

CalicoJack,

If 2-4 TB makes you think “data hoarder”, you don’t even want to know what the self-proclaimed data hoarders get up to. 10-20 TB drives aren’t insanely expensive, and some of us have several of them.

AlecSadler,

I have no movies, photos, or video games. I do have a lot of work-related things like cloned repos and stuff like Visual Studio and SQL Server.

You want hoarder…my friend has over 120 TB in rack mount storage in his garage across multiple systems and NAS devices. It’s insane.

ExLisper,

Did you try removing the French language pack?

callyral,
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

I have a 512 GB (nvme SSD), with a few games, and I have 423 GB free (according to df after summing up / and /home partitions)

MiltownClowns,

Not everyone has a 500 GB yiff collection. Some people keep their yiff in the cloud.

AlecSadler,

HAHAHA.

MonsiuerPatEBrown, in Can you install thid 25 year old program?

Which package manager would you like to use today ?

Spider89,

apt

ColdWater, (edited )
@ColdWater@lemmy.ca avatar

Ahh… Winget?

neonred,

that’d be dpkg, but I agree

DmMacniel,

yum

corsicanguppy,

Apt is a good call. It predates yum, which itself predates yumv2-oops-dnf, and that beautiful porting gift from the Brazilian folks is still working hard at RPM management faster and more consistently than yum v1/v2 ever will.

Try PCLinuxOS (conectiva’s great-grandchild) - its template creation is horrible as they’ve forgotten how to anaconda, but otherwise it’s amazing.
