flashgnash, to linux in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?

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, to linux in Is the Windows Subsystem for Linux worth it?

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, to memes in Firefox reader view 🔛🔝

Is there a way to make reader view automatic on sites where it makes sense? Quite often use it when I get the “uwu pwease disable adbwock” message on a sketchy site but would be nice to just always have it on those kind of sites

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, (edited ) to linux in What's the best way to remote into a linux machine?

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

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, to linux in Arch or NixOS?

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

flashgnash, to linux in CLI Editors with Distrobox?

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

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, (edited ) to memes in It really do be like that sometimes

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

flashgnash, to linux in enough said.

Photoshop has no good alternative on Linux though that’s a very real reason to need windows

Personally I’m too cheap for a Photoshop license anyway so doesn’t bother me but some people need it

flashgnash, to linux in Is the Windows Subsystem for Linux worth it?

From what I gather teams-for-linux still uses the web version doesn’t it? Would that not be subject to all the same problems?

flashgnash, (edited ) to linux in Is the Windows Subsystem for Linux worth it?

Glad to know teams isn’t just the bane of my existence on linux

flashgnash, to linux in Laptop not working after installing nimdow

Just be ready to have to lean on the community a lot to begin with

flashgnash, to memes in Excuse me, sir

Why would you not want weekly updates about cheddar cheese though
