Installing windows after Linux, causing both the windows boot manager and grub to collectively shart themselves.

Trying to manually install the Nvidia driver and breaking my system in the process,

Not following the official docs the 1st (and 2nd) time I tried to install gentoo, resulting in sadness.

Not following the official guide the 1st time I tried to install arch, resulting in sadness.

Rebooting during a kernel update (I’ve done this many times on many different distros).

Forcing re-complilation of my whole Gentoo system with -ofast and forced lto on everything, causing… everything to break

Accidentally deleting my EFI partition in an attempt to fix grub. (I’ve also done this more than once, with systemd boot too!)

There is probably much more that I just can’t remember atm.

Wayland on intel is the same as it is on AMD, and has been for years now… I don’t really get why they would say that it’s broken…

I don’t generally believe in a “higher power”, despite having religious parents, I never really understood it… I just don’t get how people can genuinely believe that there is a higher power that is somehow watching over everyone. That’s not to say tat religion is a bad thing. It’s not, in fact most non-radicalized religions have genuinely good teachings, be it Christianity, Buddhism or Islam (and others, again I’m not too into this stuff, these are just the religions I can speak semi-confidently about), they all fundamentally teach the same basic things, don’t be an asshole, live modestly, help others, etc… (yes I do know it’s MUCH more complicated than that).

That’s the way I ultimately see the “higher power”, as a way to get people to be good members of society by making them believe that there is a higher power that will bless them if they are.

Ik about vscodium, it doesn’t have all extensions

I’ve actually been trying vscodium for a few days now, and it’s mostly been pretty good, though idk if I’ll bother switching to it just yet…

Best place to buy replacement parts for a laptop?

I’ve got a Dell G3 3579 that’s in a dire need of a battery and a bottom panel replacement. I’ve thought of buying them off aliexpress, but I’m a bit skeptical of it… So ig my question is whether it’s OK to buy stuff like replacement laptop batteries off aliexpress....

I’ve thought of using Amazon, but it’s not really a thing in my country, I don’t even know if they ship here, furthermore I’ve never shopped on Amazon before, so I have no idea how it works…

(I just checked, Amazon does not deliver to my country and Newegg is an American thing afaik)

And even further more, I don’t know which are the “trusted” replacement battery manufacturers

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

It is not, unfortunately. They just don’t ship to my country

You generally shouldn’t care about systemd, nor choose a distro or an OS just based on it’s init system, as they all ultimately achieve the same thing… Start and stop services. And while I don’t personally use it on my main desktop, it’s just because I don’t need any of it’s functionality and OpenRC IS a bit faster in my experience, though I can see why systemd the default on most distros, it’s extremely versatilea, powerful and handles a lot of things that you’d need separate programs for…

Custom shell prompt tips and tricks?

Recently I stumbled over an article, about how to customize your shell prompt. What really surprised me, is that it lacked one of the most basic tips I learned nearly 20 years back: Always display a timestamp in the prompt, to be able to check how long a process is running or when it ended. (Don’t need it daily, but every so...

Step 1. Install fish shell

Step 2. Type fish_config

Step 3. Profit

What do you think about this? (www.youtube.com)

Since i see so much linux talk on lemmy i got curious and watched a video about the common distros. How true is the information in this video? The person hardly describes why debian and arch are just better than every other distro. At least i’m definitely now curious about Mint or something for gaming.

You’re a monster of you actually like regex more than just opening a full text editor. I’d open visual studio and use it to give the text I need before I touch sed

I’d use sister partitions for everything but swap, just use zram for swap, it’s faster and doesn’t need it’s own separate partition

Idk, I’ve always been pretty introverted and never really liked the “intense school social network” it’s not like I fully distance myself from others or anything, it’s just that sometimes, especially early morning, the crowd can be a bit much for me. As for emotional intelligence, again idk, I like to think that I’m somewhat emotionally mature to an extent (been through a lotta shit and all) but I’ve never really been in an emotional relationship before, so I can’t say for sure… Dunno I guess I’m just fine with keeping a small friend group and just being generally friendly with everyone else.

And you mentioned that you have niche interests… Yeah, you should look at my lemmy profile, though I generally don’t feel like having niche interests makes it harder to socialize with people, as if you give them the hint, they’ll usually start the conversation themselves and you can pick up after…

And my problem isn’t so much an age group problem, it’s more of an, as I mentioned above “I’m an adult, you’re an adult, why do you feel the need to belittle me?” type of feeling… And yes, 18 is the legal age for… Pretty much everything, where I live.

That all teenagers must spend all their time chasing girls and going to parties as to not be “losers”. I see this attitude both from older people and from other teenagers, though it annoys me mostly from older people, as they just can’t seem to fathom that some teenagers have interests that aren’t just… Wasting their time? I mean don’t get me wrong, I enjoy doing it as much as anyone but it bothers me when people talk to me like it’s the only thing I should be doing in my teenage years…

And the other thing is the stereotype that you need to talk to teenagers with a belittling attitude, I really don’t know how to explain it but I sometimes feel like older people (not like old old, people in their mid to late 30s) feel the need to talk to me in a different, more “fresh?” or overly friendly way. It’s not just individual people who do this, big companies also do it, and it’s just as annoying. Like, we’re both adults, just talk to me like normal… (I guess this doesn’t apply to teenagers, younger than me but I’m talking about stereotypes that bother me so Idc, I’m 18 and this has bothered me for as long as I’ve been able to notice it)

I’d tell you, if I could remember any of my dreams or what they were about

How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?

I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

All the programs I use just run on linux, no really. VSCode runs on linux, I’ve used libre office for longer than I’ve used Linux (and it obviously runs on linux), all my faves run on linux through steam or lutris.

However, if there is a windows only program you wanna run on linux, you have a few options.

I’d just cross running it though wine out, it’s really annoying to setup and my original success rate with it had been… Not great.

If your program isn’t terribly graphically demanding, you might be able to run it via a windows virtual machine. It’s not perfect but for lighter programs or visual studio, it works.

If your program is graphically demanding (e.g. Adobe suite, CorelDraw, Autocad, etc…) you’re kinda out of luck and will have to dual boot… (Or loose your sanity trying to get them working through wine)

I honestly don’t know how I deal with myself sometimes… Ah wait you mean with other incompetent people… Uuh, I just let them do their thing and put on a huge ignore wall around them.

Warframe is designed as a Co-op experience, it’s the correct way to play the game, only parts of the main story is single player, cinematic experience and all, 90% of the game is supposed to be played co-op or in a team of randoms… RvR isn’t technically a thing the way you describe it, but there are huge hordes of enemies, so you can think of it as PvR… kinda.

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Idk if Warframe counts as an MMO, but it’s the closest thing to an MMO that I play.

The lore is really cool, though it’s mostly for the people who care about it as it is really easy to skip/miss.

The community is mostly super friendly and a big part of the game (yk, trading in-game items for in-game currency, clans, etc…).

The PvE of Warframe imo is top notch, fluent movement, satisfying weapons, time or characters, abilities, strategies and weapons to choose from and reach one can be upgraded individually.

The PvP however… It exists and that’s all I can say about it, it’s kinda just bad and no one plays it.

Idk what RvR means lol.

Oh, and the game is completely free with no forced pay walls and it’ll run on pretty much anything.

Though it’s not perfect, it’s a grind (yk it’s a looter shooter) and there is an annoying mechanic of items taking a while to craft

Use virt-manager or gnome boxes, they are both better and tend to run faster in my experience

AntiX/MX Linux, I’ve had great success getting them to boot on systems that were refusing to boot anything else, AntiX is my go-to distro for bringing new life to old hardware, it works with literally anything you throw at it.

That just will not work, because some languages have different rules about gendered words, to those of English.

E.g.

English:

One man

One woman

One non-binary person (they)

Bulgarian:

Един мъж

Една жена

Един не определен човек (те)

Notice how in the “non-binary/they” form in Bulgarian you still have to use the male version of “One”, it’s just how the language works…

Many languages will have to be entirely re-written to account for the new pronoun. I think until that happens, “they” gets the job done.
