What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

If you ever want to ruin Princess Mononoke, just think "what exactly does the main character guy do to advance the plot?" The answer: almost nothing haha

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

For anything lower-spec (like, <4Gb of RAM), Ubuntu absolutely CHUGS because of Snaps. Flatpak has no such issue.

Ironically, Lubuntu (a lightweight Ubuntu fork) worked the best for me while I was using it. No slowness, but I installed pretty much everything using Apt (didn't know about Flatpak back then).

I ended up having it lock up and freeze on the sign-in page though, so I moved on to the slightly heavier Linux Mint.

Disclaimer: I use kbin 99% of the time.

That said, I love using Connect when I use Lemmy

That's fair about the staying power, but I prefer playing Multiplayer so the PS2 and 1 never hit the same (I did play them a lot as well though - I had the OG Gran Turismo, Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, Metal Gear Solid and a bunch of others for PS1, and I had NFS: Underground 2, Gran Turismo: A-Spec, Medal of Honor: Frontline and a bunch of others for PS2 as well). I do respect how well they did, but I really enjoy multiplayer (and the PS2 multiplayer didn't do it for me)

I think I'm in the minority, but PS3. It was the most powerful console of its time, it released The Last of Us, Uncharted, Gran Turismo and a ton of other classics and the PSN was free to use.

It also had my favorite game of all time on it - Littlebigplanet 2. The custom levels people made were insane.

Basic, but Ubuntu. It's got snaps which are slow and generally suck, plus Canonical

Interesting, thank you for sharing. I'll have to give it a go next time!

I think this is the perfect post to bring up XWayland.

That being said, I haven't used it yet (so I can't comment on whether it works flawlessly)! Can anyone elaborate on their experiences with it? I'm curious on it and don't have my hands on a Linux machine at the moment

You could watch Pitch Black (not sure if it's on Netflix). Vin Diesel kills it as the main character

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

I can also back that up! KDE feels way faster than Gnome (and especially Cinnamon) on older computers

If you've never drank coffee, you should be using Windows lol

Lemmy.world as Picard Maneuver explained, but also Artemis.camp is down too (which is ~1000 people).

I'm sick and tired of working for other people. Having to take PTO to do literally anything you want to do on a weekday is so fucked, and I'm one of the lucky people (who works PST while in EST). Corporate policies and politics truly do run rampant through every company, and I just need to keep working on products until one becomes sustainable long-term.

Feel like that's the key to financial and physical freedom - making the next big thing, then getting it to a solid state and just doing gradual improvements. Don't pull a spez, don't piss people off and don't add too many new features after a while or you'll kill what you have. And for the love of GOD, don't go public.

IPO'ing and going public are what kill companies with great things running for them, simply due to the "keep growing every day until the company inevitably collapses" mindset.
