BiggestBulb, to linux in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

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

BiggestBulb, to asklemmy in best app for lemmy?
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

Disclaimer: I use kbin 99% of the time.

That said, I love using Connect when I use Lemmy

I also had no idea he made RSS

BiggestBulb, to linux in Is Ubuntu deserving the hate?
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

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.

BiggestBulb, to risa in [meta] Does it seem quiet here to anyone else?

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

BiggestBulb, to linux in What is wayland?
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

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

The US lol (I live here, can confirm)

BiggestBulb, to asklemmy in What's the best gaming console and why?
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

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.

BiggestBulb, to linux in Dual Booting Windows 11 and Fedora Silverblue / Kinoite - how to shrink my Windows partition and where to go from there?
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

Thank you so much for the detailed answer 🙏

BiggestBulb, to asklemmy in What is your unpopular flim opinion
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

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

BiggestBulb, to asklemmy in What movie should me and fiance watch tonight?
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

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

BiggestBulb, to asklemmy in Do you need to vent about something?
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

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.

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)

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

BiggestBulb, to linux in Made the switch to KDE
@BiggestBulb@kbin.social avatar

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