I finally nuked windows

I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I...

const_void,

This community has become nothing but these kinds of posts every day. I’m considering unsubscribing because it’s becoming so bad.

"Must Try" distros and DEs?

Hey folks! I’m getting a fresh laptop for the first time in about a decade (Framework 16) in a couple of months and am looking forward to doing some low-level tinkering both on the OS and hardware. I’m planning to convert into a “cyberdeck” with quick-release hinges for the screen since I usually use an HMD, built-in...

const_void,

Yikes. What is it about Hyperland that attracts these kinds of people?

I’m always for more software but Linux has editors locked down pretty well already :)

Plus their computer is probably still running proprietary firmware

My gf always wants to “stay up late” but usually ends up falling asleep first.

Solene'% : NovaCustom NV41 laptop review (dataswamp.org)

Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated in any way to any of the parties involved in this review. I just enjoy reading Solène’s writings in general and found myself to be especially in fond of this specific article. I share this in the hopes that others might somehow benefit from this as well!...

const_void,

Good to see more laptops being release with Dasharo/Coreboot. Proprietary firmware needs to die.

const_void,

I wish more computers shipped with Coreboot these days so we could avoid these kinds of proprietary firmware inflicted problems.

Might want to check out MusicBrainz Picard for this purpose

Should just work with the defaults but check these settings:

We leave snack foods out in a bin on the front porch for delivery people. They all seem to love it and it’s an easy thing to do for people bringing things to your house.

Tell me why “market share” of commerical, proprietary games is important to Linux again?

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...

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

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

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...

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

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,

There’s no that much difference between distros except for the package manager. Choose whichever one is best for you.

const_void,

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

const_void,

Oh god, please don’t turn this place into Reddit with these desktop screenshots.
