Eh.

Alt + F4 to close running commands

Somehow unrelated to what this video proposes, Linux has taught and gave me so many possibilities that I would never, ever be able to if I (still) were using Windows to this very day. In other words… thanks to Linux, I can now operate and have fun in a under 3W device.

Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...

That’d be the same as asking if leaving your house front door open is dangerous – it depends. If an ill-intended individual sees it open however, s/he won’t think twice to trash your home.

Indeed! I’m not planning to go back to Winblows unless I’m being paid for it.

Cpupower can both show cpu info -and- tweak it, so nope. Not really.

Thanks for your input tho.

Gentoo goes Binary (packages) (www.gentoo.org)

To speed up working with slow hardware and for overall convenience, we’re now also offering binary packages for download and direct installation! For most architectures, this is limited to the core system and weekly updates - not so for amd64 and arm64 however. There we’ve got a stunning >20 GByte of packages on our mirrors,...

Gentoo “purist”: “Welp, Gentoo is now officially dead.”

Non-gentoo user: “Welp, Gentoo is now just another Arch fork LMAO!”

Been using Wayland since 3’ish years ago and my desktop experience has been really smooth – no crashes, errors or anything of the sort. Everything “just werks” just as if I were on Xorg instead. Even on a completely obscure/zero linux support single board computer (Orange pi zero 3).

Yeah… I’d rather spend some time doing those manually and not risk losing money (or even worse) because of a mere couple seconds less on the internet.

I feel like breaking my windows install was a rite of passage

Lately ive noticed that i was wanting to do certain things on Windows that just seemed much easier and more intuitive on Linux, based in the OS specific solutions i would see to problems i encountered. And i was more frequently using software where Windows support seemed like an after thought....

My “rite of passage” to the magical world of GNU/Linux was… well… boredom. My Windows install was run fresh, with TCPOptimizer, with some things removed out of its core… until I took the decision of “trying to figure out how to use Linux even if it means losing my sanity.”

…and here we are. Sanity is still intact tho…

…I think. :^)

Yes officer, this heretic right here.

“Not exactly Linux”, but FreeBSD. Gave it a couple tries but gave up when I realized its minimalism is a placebo at best and its “super security features” can (also) be achieved on any other standard Linux distribution.

When folks will stop with the “If Linux won’t become another Windows, it’ll fail” mentality? Linux is not Winblows – and we really mean it. To “increase adoption” users need to acknowledge (only) this – that both Windows and Linux differs from one another and that won’t change in any time soon.

GustavoM,

Why not? It’s simple, lightweight, has a lot of interesting commands that fills its respective niche really well (btop, for instance) and (the best of all) it doesn’t explode my PC everytime I run such commands.

"Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]

Title. Basically, “if a street fighter gamer and a linux tryhard had a baby” where a combination of keys is issued to run a command/script rather than a single or a simultaneous stroke of two or more. i.e left, down, left, right arrow keys, R_CTRL to run Firefox. Right, right, Up, right arrow keys, delete to power off the...

Asides from “ew installing Winblows stuff in my distro ewwww” that will be a gamechanger if they do it right.

No, but I used this back when I was a little penguin and I had to “see” something working on Linux.

NixOS on OnePlus 6 with Extra Steps, or the Diary of my Descent into Madness (pavluk.org)

My biggest blog post yet, and it’s about running (almost) vanilla NixOS on a (formerly) Android phone! This was 50% fun and 50% exhausting… you solve one issue and another one crops up right away… it was certainly an interesting educational experience....

Why do you hate yourself this much?

j/k. nicely done. I’d feel like a hacker if I could do this on my phone, but I’m too scared to brick it.

Imagine giving away user control and privacy for more battery life.

@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

That’d be true if I were a Winblows tryhard. Thankfully, it’s not the case. :^)

why would a perfect God create a universe at all?

God is perfect – its creations are not.

And before you ask, “Why God created such flawed creations then if He is so perfect?”

Because only God is perfect.

GustavoM,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Simply put – if God wanted to create perfect, flawless creations He have created us Gods. And we aren’t Gods.

“b-but why we suffer, why (insert negative outcome here)”

Because we aren’t God(s), but God creatures. For the same reason dogs cannot talk and rationale like us – we suffer, and God does not.

GustavoM,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

We haven’t, but there’s this thing called “hierarchy”. There is God, and its subordinates (angels, archangels, etc), and all the way under theres us – humans. And below humans, the rest of the Gods creations – dogs, cats, etc. And the logic behind this is diversity and beauty. And yes, even on a flaw (suffering, as mentioned here like a some sort of Gods curse rather than our “natural flaw” “why we suffer?”, etc) can bestow beauty on its own. Why? Because everything have sense when we acknowledge that God is behind all suffering – no matter how critical it is.Because He is Our Father, and The One and Only. We are His Children, and in suffering is how we learn that we are flawed and we need His Guidance.

I kinda tried to avoid being “biblical”, but I had to in the end, heh.
