Yup, lmde

PlexSheep, 1 year ago to linuxmemes in Wayland vs X11 be like

I just switched from fedora 39 plasma to green debian, it’s been very pleasant to have “it just works os” take care of things, including X11 just doing it’s regular old thing.

But if course, Wayland is the future and I will happily use it by the time it becomes stable enough for a debian release. Go Wayland!

For me, vim is easier to use than vscode and nano. Our experiences don’t reflect that of the majority.

PlexSheep, 1 year ago to linux in My first year using Linux: My experience

I use all 3, they serve different purposes. GIMP is image Manipulation (it’s in the name), Krista is drawing, and inkscape is designing stuff and svgs.

PlexSheep, 1 year ago to linux in what caused you to get into Linux?

Had an old laptop which ran horribly slow on windows. Put Ubuntu on it without knowing anything about that stuff. Years later, I got interested in computer science and Cybersecurity, made some experiences with Kali Linux. Eventually switched my desktop to Linux mint iirc. My servers tun Debian

That old laptop? I used it for the first months of Cybersecurity lectures, until I bought a new laptop with my first salary. This weekend I put LMDE 6 on it. Debian is home.

Apperently it’s just an installer for some steam skin? I didn’t even know skins were a thing. It looks pretty amazing through.

PlexSheep, 1 year ago to linux in GIMP 3.0 finally has a release schedule

Makes sense, gimp is the gnu image Manipulation Program.

PlexSheep, 1 year ago to linux in TIL

Pretty sure it’s not. I saw something on this topic a few weeks ago but can’t quite remember. Iirc, it was a term in an early early OS, where a bit in memory was the privilege but and could be set or unset by turning a real wheel on the computer. This Stück with some people developing UNIX, so they called the wheel group wheel, but none of them are sure who came up with this.

Of course, this is just hearsay.

Windows is having coffee delivered. It’s cold since days now.

PlexSheep, 1 year ago to linux in A response to the "Boycott Wayland" article

Scaling is one of the major things that suck. Probably on xorg too through. And especially with multiple screens in different ratios and uncommon ratios (like the frameworks 2:3 one)

If they ask nicely, maybe I will accept. The KDE guys have telemetry iirc, they get what they need.

PlexSheep, 1 year ago to fuck_cars in Rishi Sunak diverts £8.3 Billion from high speed rail to... fixing potholes

I hear it takes weeks to do properly. I’m not a road building expert, but there are many things that go into it, and stuff needs to cool of and consolidate.
