I'm so frustrated rn.

I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....

My current work forces me to work with Apple (because they are lazy to prepare Linux for working), I have been on Linux for almost 10 years and I really want to quit my Job because of this stupid Apple laptop, it is trash, the DE is stupid, and I have many issues (with settings, login items, alacritty not working… yabai stopped to work without any reason…) that stresses me a lot… So good, I love my work and I still enjoy working, but the macOS is pure trash.

Well, then I can’t help, I normally always get those that cost more than 200 USD, they have it all (Bluetooth + dongle) and with high quality (+ noise-canceling). Mines are WH-1000XM4 if you are interested, and I’m very happy with them, in the past I had Bose QuietComfort 35 and Sennheiser Momentum M2-AEBT and I would still get Sony WH-1000XM4 as it is smarter with many features and quality.

Gnome is coded with JavaScript (lmao 🤣) so yeah, I Think you are right.

EDIT: Actually, even if JavaScript and other languages have this issue, the value 1.7518248558044434 has not this issue. There is another reply that explains it and makes totally sense. But still pretty lame to know the desktop runs with JavaScript. (Yeah, I hate Gnome)

Aradia,

Okay, but still needs JavaScript, they are slowly trying to remove or improve it. But it is a fact that it also runs on JavaScript. 🤣

Aradia,
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, on their git says 46% of the code is JavaScript: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell

That’s pretty much, almost half of the code.

Aradia,
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

There is less than 4% more code in C than JavaScript. That’s pretty much, many features on the gnome-desktop is using JavaScript too, like gestures and mouse events.

JavaScript isn’t the best language to make a desktop interface in my opinion, it can be very efficient, but you can see in bugs (at least in the past) how bad performance it had, and they needed to re-factor it to replace to C or improve the JavaScript. I’m just laughing and making fun of it using JavaScript, not saying it is slow, Gnome is pretty fast nowadays.

I see, thanks for the explanation.

You can activate it with these scripts github.com/…/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts (I think it’s the easiest way for you as you are already using it and the only issue it’s the stupid message to force you to pay for it)

But would be nice if you were not forced to use Microsoft Office.

Well, if you are new to Linux, it is better if you just install new distros to try them, I would go to Arch Linux as it’s the cleanest distro, I could install multiple DE without issues, but then it’s a bit mess of packages, also it’s harder to install, you need to type archinstall and understand their options. I have a desktop and laptop and I always use the laptop for testing, if you copy the ~/.config folder, you can restore all your applications settings (just copy the app settings you are using), ~/.mozilla to restore your browser as you had it before the wipe and some more settings are under ~/.local. I also copy my ~/.zshrc because I have a custom prompt, configs, add-ons, alias…

Actually, I always end up using ADB tools to get files or photos, you can get recursive files to get them all. I do it even with people that tries to get photos from their Windows machines, so I don’t think it’s a problem with Linux neither. This is the best way to get safely and correctly all your files.

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

Aradia,
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

I am into tech/programming/devops, I make my own servers, but I would still prefer to be under CGNAT as I feel more safe. I wouldn’t open any port or tunnel to my local home network, I wouldn’t feel that safe. So for me, a CGNAT is perfect.

I’ve run a small public web server for well over a decade and never had any issues with hackers.

It’s never late to get hacked or an attack or a problem with your ISP router firmware. I don’t think that’s an excuse.

receive backups from my other servers

You can simply do cronjob and scp user@server:/path/to/backup . to get things from server to your local network, I don’t see the need to expose your router to the public. For a web server, there are cheap VPS providers for less than 5 dollars a month, and you save up energy, hardware, and improve safety at home.

Aradia,
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, I would do that before exposing my router to public and opening ports, but for the tunnel I would use something like WireGuard into a virtual network at my home just to improve security. I’m not a fan of Cloudflare.

Aradia,
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

Why are you saying that? I know it’s not a firewall, I’m just saying it doesn’t expose your router directly to internet, most of the routers also have firewall, and you can DMZ or port forward that you normally turn them on once you expose your router to public so bots or people can make direct requests to your router.

Aradia,
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

I already have my own router, even if a web server is safer, you are still exposing your IP which is what I don’t want to do. DMZ doesn’t solve anything, is just worse than setting up a port forward as you are opening all the ports to the server at home, your server at home has access to all your network so once infected by any 0-day exploit, you are fucked up.

I just hire online servers and I have my own Ansible playbooks to manage those servers, this way I don’t provide my real IP (my home) to anyone.

I use virt-manager GUI to control KVM easily, but you can control anything easily with virsh command lines. I dislike VMware and VirtualBox, neither needed. Also, on terminal client virsh you can do much more configurations than just with virt-manager.

Aradia,
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

Temple OS has no virtualization.

Aradia,
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

For just two VM, any Linux distro is enough, virt-manager to easily run those VMs up and done. The default network will allow them to communicate between their NAT. Proxmox sounds too many complications for just some testing or development stuff.

Aradia,
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

But Proxmox is a big web interface app with many packages, right? virt-manager looks much easier than installing Proxmox.

100% vanilla distribution challenge

what does this consist of? Well, it’s easy, whenever you install a new distribution of Linux, don’t customise anything, nothing please!! Out of the box experience, you may install software but that’s all. And if you are already using a customised distro, then delete the .config file and reboot, but please be careful and...

What’s the goal? This looks silly.

@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

Worried about DAS, but not about Google? 🤔 “USA Freedom Act”? They forgot about PRISM? DAS sounds just ISP work for PRISM law. As any USA company is forced to.

I would block even more services from Microsoft, why not. Go to other git sources.
