Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

I’ve been daily driving Linux for 17 months now (currently on Linux Mint). I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager. I’ve tried Debian as a distro to try to challenge myself, but have always ran into issues. On my PC, I could...

const_void,

Is this an ESL thing or something? Why not just say “using daily”?

const_void,

What is meant by “daily driving”?

const_void,

How do you make it permanent though?

const_void,

I want to like nixos but the documentation is trash.

const_void,

And that’s important because?

daily drive to Linux

Since when have you needed to commute to use Linux? 🤣

const_void,

There may be more but that doesn’t mean that every Arch package is available on Nix

const_void,

KDE is the best desktop environment.

What is “ricing”? Sounds like you might be talking about theming?

const_void, (edited )

it originally comes from just “rice burners”

The term is often defined as offensive or racist stereotyping.

Yikes, I think I’ll just stick to “themeing”

const_void,

You’re regularly using plasma 6? They just released the first beta and it’s full of bugs.

const_void,

Ricing? What’s that?

const_void,

Someone in their marketing department

Needs more extensions

I finally switched back to Linux as my daily driver after a couple of years of being on nothing but Windows.

I ran Manjaro Linux as my daily driver a few years ago but slowly phased it out for Windows for some reason, and I’m finally back using Linux (currently Linux Mint). I gotta say, I don’t know why I ever switched back to Windows. There’s just so much freedom Linux gives you right off the bat that Windows is just plain...

const_void,

Why is everyone in here saying “daily driver” all of a sudden?

Is there any way I can make an old XMMS plugin work in any modern player?

Long story short, I learned there is an XMMS release of a plugin I use in Winamp for music playback (mp3PRO). Sadly, I recoded most of my music to mp3PRO back in the day, and now I’m stuck using Winamp, even on Linux. I like the player, wouldn’t change it, but I wanted to switch to something native, like Audacious or Qmms....

const_void,

That particular conversion is lossless but the original MP3 Pro file is lossy and converting to MP3 again would be double lossy. Best solution is to rerip or download a good copy.

Why is everyone saying “daily drive” all of a sudden?

const_void,

If they do have an interracial couple it’s always a black man with a white woman. Never the other way around.

const_void,

This is how I feel after my company mandated working in the office 4 days a week.

const_void,

Same. I wouldn’t trust an automated system. There’s too much variation between book releases. It isn’t like downloading video.

const_void,

Can we please stop calling it “ricing”? The term is pretty loaded.

Thinkpads RE: Repairability/upgradability

I need to upgrade my laptop and one of the things I’m looking for is repairability/upgradability. I’ve been told thinkpads are good in this respect, how true is that? In terms of replacing batteries and memory, at least. I’m also looking at the frameworks, but those black friday deals are looking alright at lenovo....

const_void,

It used to be true. Lately though they’ve been getting less repairable and the build quality has been getting worse too.

const_void,

Reinstalling is Windows-user logic. Also why start with Arch Linux of all distros.

const_void,

What is rmm?
