0x4E4F,

… and I’ll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes…

0x4E4F,

Mounting it in fstab is a bad idea… in home even worse.

Just make some desktop entries with the shares and that should be enough.

Well, for one, it’s network attached storage. If it’s not present in the network for one reason or another, guess what, your OS doesn’t boot… or it errors during boot, depending on how the kernel was compiled and what switches your bootloader sends to the kernel during boot. Second, this is an easy way for malware to spread, especially if it’s set to run after user logon.

0x4E4F,

It has to have a mount point somewhere. Just double click the desktop entry, that will mount it wherever you told it to and then you can copy to that location, easy peasy 😉.

0x4E4F,

And the very same reason why everyone who isn’t tech savvy left Lemmy after the first wave… sorry, but that’s the cold hard truth.

0x4E4F,

Maybe just the basic GNU tools that come with every dostro, but other than that… yeah, that is ancient.

0x4E4F,

It didn’t use to be like that after the first wave, with comms such as sewing, there were some gardening subs as well… the only one that kinda took off was the woodworking sub, that’s it.

I opened a few subs myself, related to tech, but not really computer related, none of them took off, only a few posts at the beginning and that was basically it, no new posts whatsoever.

I would argue that now, it’s as user friendly as Reddit is. But, alas, now is too late 😔. There was a wave of instances dissappearing over night (vlemmy, fmhy, etc.), mods abusing power and… well, that crowd just felt safer with commercial media. At least their data and shared images won’t drown into oblivion if an instance owner decided to just close shop 🤷.

If you’re hunting down older eqipment (5, 6 years old), no, not really… everything just works with Linux and older stuff. The newer stuff is always the problem with any OS that is not Windows (though that is changing for the better in the last few years, especially for Linux).

0x4E4F,

Since drinking is most likely their first hobby 😂.

0x4E4F,

Some pretty cool things came from garages and drinking/smoking 😉.

0x4E4F,

Try pr0n sites, they usually have stuff like that laying around.

I’d suggets Void. It has Ardour in the repo (not Reaper though) and PiperWire with JACK should work out of the box. If you want Reaper, you’d have to install it manually though. I’m working on a template for Reaper, but it’s not finished yet. If you’re willing to wait a month or so, you’ll probably have Reaper in xbps-src as well.

0x4E4F,

Plugins as in VSTs?

0x4E4F, (edited )

I thought most of the FOSS ones were like libraries, just drop them in the adequate shared directory and that’s it 🤔. You could check dependencies with ldd and look for the adequate package with xtools.

Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...

0x4E4F,

Third world countries: We must 😔…

0x4E4F, (edited )

Have to agree on that. SSD and RAM prices have gone down significantly.

0x4E4F, (edited )

Do you know any other distro that’s not LFS or Gentoo that still supports x86? I said a lot, not everything. Most distros don’t support anything below 64-bits.

A fork supported PPC up until a while ago. That project halted though. There was a new spin on it, can’t remember the distro’s name though.

xbps-src can cross compile for MIPS. There are no packages in the repo for MIPS though.

0x4E4F,

But also OpenWRT.

Oh, come on 🤦.

0x4E4F,

I meant as in a real OS, not a stripped down version meant to run as firmware.

0x4E4F,

I had to work around it so that it doesn’t send me to (disk? network? not sure anymore) setup again and again.

Never happened to me. How long ago was this?

0x4E4F,

Damn, you’re more persitent than me hagling 😂.
