flashgnash,

I have tried with a couple myself and come to the conclusion that right now you’re probably better off buying an android tablet, putting a de-googled version of android on it and running termux if you need Linux on it

flashgnash,

Just putting this in to warn people, pinetab 2 has no functional WiFi drivers so you need a dongle

flashgnash,

I hear the camera quality was terrible back then

flashgnash,

All joking aside a lot of people in my circle have switched recently that have been holding out until now

Year of the Linux desktop or not it’s certainly got a surge in popularity recently

flashgnash,

I love that the terminal based browser depends on firefox

With the exception of parents I’d rather someone didn’t get me something than just ask me what I want

The present isn’t the money spent it’s the thought that’s gone into it

That said I’d also rather not get a present than get one for the sake of it with no thought

Give the gift of less waste going to landfill this christmas lol

    Having tried and failed miserably with Linux tablets a number of times I don’t think they’re quite there yet

    As much as Amazon suck my old Kindle has always been pretty nice to use (the OG e-ink ones not the android ones, if you’re looking at the kindle fire just look into buying a better android tablet)

    There’s also the ReMarkable, I believe that also works as an e reader with the added benefit of the pencil to take notes with (worth looking into yourself I’ve never owned one)

    flashgnash,

    Have to agree, felt the need to wrap up warm when I was ill once, went to sleep and it was the best sleep in my life. Woke up drenched in sweat and hot as Satan’s crack but the sleep and dreams were great

    flashgnash,

    I don’t know why I just love the random underlining and his expression

    If you want to automate your system install Nix is a good one to look at, nowadays when I use a new system/wipe an existing one I can just install NixOS drop my config, sign into the things that need signing into and go

    Obviously doesn’t work as well if you’re trying other distros but you can still use it on them

    flashgnash,

    Provided you don’t want to play one of the few games that refuse to enable Linux support on their anticheat I’ve found my PC can run games designed to run on windows far more smoothly now than they ever did on windows

    If it’s a VPS you could just use tailscale until it’s sorted

    flashgnash,

    Looks nice to me, feels a lot cleaner

    flashgnash,

    Having tried NTFS, ext4 and btrfs, the difference is not noticeable (though NTFS is buggy on Linux)

    Btrfs I believe has compression built in so is good for large libraries but realistically ext4 is the easiest and simplest way to do so I just use that nowadays

    flashgnash,

    That’s in the works still right now, steam deck has it and I think it’s possible to get it working on other distros but isn’t on by default in most I don’t think

    The Distro Wars are good actually.?

    If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....

    flashgnash,

    Made infinitely more entertaining by the fact they’re all more or less the same under the hood with minor differences packed ontop of the same Linux kernel

    CLI Editors with Distrobox?

    How do you all handle this? I’m going to start poking around with NixOS but anticipate Python dev to be impossible on the base OS, so curious what sorts of options y’all use when connecting your configured editor to a container- e.g. if I have Neovim configured in my host, is it better to re-set-up Neovim again with the same...

    flashgnash,

    Python is easy on NixOS, you just need to use python venvs and you can use pip like normal

    (python -m venv .venv) to create the venv (only need to do once per project)

    .venv/bin/activate to enable the venv (Vscode should do this automatically if you create the venv through the python extension)

    Then just pip install to your heart’s content

    (Probably a good idea to pip freeze > requirements.txt every time you install a new library too to make it reproducible

    Also you should probably add the venv directory to gitignore if you’re using git as it’ll add a lot of crap to source control that can be easily regenerated from the requirements.txt

    flashgnash,

    I have to disagree with this, with home-manager you can pretty much put just put your normal config files inside your NixOS config and map them into wherever they’re meant to go, except now they’re managed by nix

    The built in config options are really nice but you don’t have to use them in the slightest as long as the package itsself is in nixpkgs

    I’ve definitely had it wake me up the first time I drank it, was grumpy and tired late in the evening, had a shot of espresso and was bouncing off the walls

    Made the switch to KDE

    I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

    flashgnash,

    Gnome and KDE are both great for different reasons. One of the things that’s great about Linux as a whole is it gives people the ability to choose the stack they like most

    flashgnash,

    Might give it another go then, the problem for me is not that it doesn’t work, but that it doesn’t work reliably though

    Have been using it as a PWA and half the time it forgets I gave it mic permissions or resets my audio settings/doesn’t even recognise my mic in the first place

    flashgnash,

    Edge I haven’t tried yet. Have been trying to use degoogled chromium where I can but that’s a battle I might have to give up on in this case

    flashgnash,

    Did you know teams personal exists and they’ve added features to it for gaming? Why anyone would voluntarily use teams I will never understand

    flashgnash,

    I guess so, have never heard of anyone actually using it but it’s built into windows so someone probably will at some point

    flashgnash, (edited )

    I don’t think OP is looking to remote into servers here, personally for servers ssh is great but for accessing my laptop from desktop/vice versa the terminal can be a bit awkward when there are applications with no cli behind them which is where a graphical remote desktop comes in handy
