LainOfTheWired, to linux in Linux Boomers

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 linux in I've started building a TUI for Lemmy
@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar

That looks epic!

Please add the ability to view images with an external image viewer as I find a lot of social TUI apps seem to lack that.

Add that and you’re making my ideal Lemmy client

If you don’t need all the features of a full office suit then check out markdown and and editor like ghostwriter

LainOfTheWired, to linux in I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?

If you want something that’s under £100 and don’t mind Bluetooth check out the soundcore life Q30s.

Honesty the first time I tried them I though they cost double what they actually do, and they’ve been my daily driver since.

For some reference I also have some audio technica ATH-M50Xs, but I find these more musical and they have ANC so I daily drive these and use my M50Xs for critical listening when needed( I’ve added that just so you know that I know what decent audio sounds like and don’t think that cheap beats knockoffs are good).

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.

LainOfTheWired, to linux in Why do you use the terminal?
@LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol avatar
  1. It feels great
  2. Terminal programs run on a potato
  3. They are almost always way more powerful then their GUI counterparts
  4. They integrate with scripts and other tools for unlimited power and flexibility!
  5. You feel like a hacker man
  6. Your IT literate friends think you are cool
  7. You can really do things your own way

So yeah I love using the terminal for almost everything

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

I use DX, and it’s a really great app with some great features like:
