KISSmyOS,

What happened to your “Vanilla Challenge”?

KISSmyOS,

Why don’t you chill out about your Linux setup a bit, and instead of doing stuff to your Linux system, do stuff with it.
Open Source software lives from the contributions of the users, and there’s plenty to do everywhere.
You could use your free time to actually make a difference and help out other Linux users!

I Made Screen Brightness Control on Gnome Much Better (gitlab.gnome.org)

Anyone here struggle with trying to adjust brightness on Gnome in low light? At the low end, the steps are way too far apart, and at high brightness they’re almost imperceptible. Every other operating system uses a brightness curve that better matches human perception....

KISSmyOS, (edited )

That’s somehow really fitting for Gnome (-_-)

KISSmyOS,

Fits perfectly.
Jiffy is the average length of a gif.

KISSmyOS,

I was a broke college student, my pc broke, I had no money for a new one and my roommate gifted me a pc with OpenSUSE installed.
It took me an embarassingly long time to figure out how to install software on it.

KISSmyOS,

The worst crime here is using Arch.

KISSmyOS,

when switching I had to wrap my head around the differences in the workflow of doing things. Once youre past that it’s rock solid and had no issues so far.

This is the case with every distro nowadays.

KISSmyOS,

Debian Sid, mostly for ideological reasons.

KISSmyOS,

Yes, it’s the community nature. I just love how there is no corporation behind it.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

You asked a distro question on linux@lemmy.ml .
This is to be expected.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

It’s so EASY to operate even a WOMAN can do it!
BUY the POWER MOWER OF THE FUTURE and you’ll have more time for YOU to drink BEER, SMOKE and beat the KIDS!

KISSmyOS,

Why is your lawn not perfectly flat?
Are you a Communist?

KISSmyOS,

What this needs is a V8 and a 0-60 time under 5 seconds.

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...

KISSmyOS,

What the hell is this challenge?
Am I allowed to add my printer? What about setting up my screen resolution? If I scale the fonts to match, that’s dangerously close to “customization”. Can I switch to dark theme?
I can install software, but what about shell extensions that are in my distro’s repository? That’s software, but also customization.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

Oh, it’s you again.
Well then I’ve been doing your challenge on most of my systems for the past 15 years.
I mostly just install Debian with Gnome, the programs I need, and then get on with my life.

KISSmyOS,

Fun fact: On Slackware, the init process is just a shell script (which launches other shell scripts).

Preparing to move from Ubuntu to Fedora

Hi! I’m seeking some advice and sanity check on hopping from Ubuntu to Fedora on my personal PC. I’ve been using Ubuntu LTS for almost two years now, switched from Windows and never looked back. But I cannot say I know Linux well. I use my PC for browsing, some gaming with Steam (I have AMD GPU), occasional video editing,...

KISSmyOS, (edited )

If that worked, it was pure luck.
Do NOT do this!

Edit to clarify: Do not do this on Ubuntu!

KISSmyOS, (edited )

If you’re on Debian Stable, yes. On Ubuntu, hell no.

KISSmyOS,

But I really want to actually customize like the behaviour of apps

Welcome to FOSS programming as a hobby. But first, let’s rice your IDE!

KISSmyOS,

That’s a Backronym.

The term definitely comes from looking down on tuned Asian cars (“rice burners”).

KISSmyOS,

Good, now allow me to explain why your programming language of choice is shit.

KISSmyOS, (edited )

What? Slackware has a menu-driven installer that sets up a usable system out of the box that comes with all the bells and whistles.
Just don’t try to change anything.

Oh, and the bells and whistles are powered by a steam engine, so you better know your way around ancient tech to use them.
