flashgnash,

Looks nice to me, feels a lot cleaner

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

flashgnash,

I love that the terminal based browser depends on firefox

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,

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

    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,

    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,

    Unfortunately for this use case rough around the edges won’t do. If something doesn’t work instantly I get blamed for using nonstandard software so the most reliable is what I’m looking for really

    For personal use I have no problem with rough around the edges (evidenced by my using hyprland on Nvidia lol)

    flashgnash,

    Wayland on Nvidia is not stable.

    I’m using hyprland which adds another layer of instability as hyprland itsself can be ropey with Nvidia

    Even with gnome Wayland I have had a number of issues though, electron stuff is dodgy at best, hibernation doesn’t work (might not be Wayland specific)

    Applications don’t resize properly sometimes and crash more often

    I think it entirely depends on your setup, I’ve had separate issues with Nvidia Wayland across my PC and laptop

    flashgnash, (edited )

    I explicitly don’t want to use Wayland for my work machine because on both my laptop and PC (both Nvidia) and it’s not very stable/reliable

    The work PC has Nvidia too so x11 seems like the better choice for that for the “it just works” factor

    flashgnash,

    I have tried qtile before, never really got on with it myself, don’t really like using python for config personally

    flashgnash,

    Wayland

    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

    flashgnash,

    For me it’s the fact that I have one source of truth for my whole system config that I can stick in git

    If I want to clean up software I don’t need anymore I just remove them from the package list and they’re gone next rebuild

    Also means when I reinstall or setup a new system I just run the installer, do a git pull, rebuild and I’ve instantly got all my tools, configured just how I like them

    Also, if I want to make a big change I can build my system in a VM first to make sure it works first (not that I do that because it also lets me revert to an earlier build from grub if I need to)

    I’ve also got both my laptop and my PC on basically identical configurations from the same git repo with each of them having a smaller config file for hardware specific stuff

    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

    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, (edited )

    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,

    I hear the camera quality was terrible back then

    flashgnash, (edited )

    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

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

    flashgnash,

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