*Void

LainOfTheWired, to linux in What are your opinions of Guix?
@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

It looks like a cool distro if you want/need a highly configurable package manager that makes your system easily reproducible.

But if you’re just looking to learn more about Linux and learn more about how your system is set up then your average distro you might just want to go with Arch, Void, or Gentoo.

LainOfTheWired, to selfhosted in Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times

Wait so it’s not just that my vps only has 1gb of ram?

You guys with more ram still get crashes?

I wouldn’t call mint old. It has

  • Massive repos and tons of 3rd party ones
  • A reasonably modern desktop environment( if you don’t like it get a theme pack, or are you to lazy to install a theme.)
  • Stability which most new users will value a lot, as I’m sure they don’t want to learn exactly how Linux works on day 1.
  • Everything just works out the box on reasonably well supported hardware( aka the manufacturer gives a dam about Linux users or it’s a thinkpad)

So I don’t see how mint is a boomer OS because unless you’re a dev or an enthusiast it has everything you need

I don’t know if Lemmy can do it yet, but I remember Reddit and also Facebook( I think) lets you set a minimum account age to post in a community. So we might want to get our mods to do that.

Because every totalitarian government in history has gone so well for the people under them

LainOfTheWired, to linux in Gentoo goes Binary (packages)
@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

I think it’s a good move. It doesn’t take anything away from people who want to keep compiling everything, but now people on especially old laptops can enjoy the distro too.

Though I will probably continue being a void user this makes me want to use gentoo more then it did before.

LainOfTheWired, to linuxmemes in :wq!

Wouldn’t you want to just want to type q! As you’ve probably opened it and accidentally made changes you didn’t want to. So you wouldn’t want to save the config file. Or the text file you just created.

and the cost.

If you want to talk about underrated look into POWER CPUs.

Motherboards like the tallos 2 are completely open source( except for an nvme storage controller) and they already offer x86_64 levels of performance. The only con right now is software support and the cost.

Apparently it can also read any decryption keys read by the cpu.

Of course they do. It’s just they’re no longer afraid of telling us they are

LainOfTheWired, to linux in Cool fancy programs?
@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

Lolcat, yt-dlp, hyprland. Honesty though most of what I find cool these days wouldn’t make any sense to a Windows user. Like DWM, ST, XBPS, lf, ly, neovim, etc.

When you get more advanced you can use a distro like System Rescue to fix your bootloader instead of having to reinstall everything
