julianh,

The idea of free software is extremely socialist/communist. People working together to create something that anyone can use for free, with profit being a non-existent or at least minor motivator.

julianh,

You can support communist/socialist policies without being a tankie. Most rational leftists do. And yeah, if you support FOSS you support a socialist idea. Same if you support public healthcare, public education, or libraries.

julianh,

I don’t think we disagree. Just thought it was interesting how closely FOSS ideas match those of communism and socialism, even though a lot of people probably don’t view it that way.

julianh,

Maybe it was originally but I kind of enjoy being rickrolled. I get to listen to a cool song.

julianh,

It’s a parody of stuff like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCRzng7LsQI

julianh,

How would the distro tell if the tar.gz is a program or just a bunch of compressed files? I tend to use tar files for compression rather than for distributing or installing software

julianh,

That’s just the full “official” name for the cello.

julianh,

I’ve been using fedora on a surface go 3 and it’s been a good experience - auto rotate works and osk mostly works. In general Gnome seems to be the best DE for touchscreens, especially if you use it in tablet mode a lot. You’re gonna at least want something up to date and probably using Wayland, so I wouldn’t go with mint.

One option is to use something like Fedora or Arch for both PCs, but use a different desktop environment (gnome on the 2-in-1, kde on the desktop).

julianh,

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this basically just better error reporting? It’s not like it’s gonna crash more often, it will just actually show log info if something catastrophic happens.

julianh,

Someone else pointed out that he actually apologized for being toxic sometimes and took some time off as a kernel maintainer because of that. Nice to see.

Best Linux Distro for a tablet?

Been wanting to put Linux on my Surface Pro 7, but when i tried it with Ubuntu, it didn’t work as well as I’d like. I used the Surface driver kernel, but Ubuntu wasn’t really good with touch. It couldn’t give a pop up keyboard (only showed up when logging into my account, but never beyond that). Sometimes it wouldn’t...

julianh,

This is mostly down to desktop environment rather than distro, but I had the same experience as you with gnome on Ubuntu, and switching to fedora it was a lot better. Still some problems with the on-screen keyboard but it at least works. I guess having a more up-to-date version of gnome helps, or ubuntu’s additions to gnome mess with it.

I haven’t tried KDE but I’ve heard it’s been getting better touch support, so it might be worth trying out too.

julianh,

Dukat really had a mental breakdown and then came back suddenly to tell kira that he fucked her mom

julianh,

Well the tearing fixes would definitely help.

julianh,

The single line “I fell asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter in my grandmother’s journal” is worthy of it honestly. I don’t think any other sequence of 12 words can evoke anything close to the emotional rollercoaster I felt when that sentence was spoken.

julianh,

Is it GPU accelerated?

julianh,

Neuroscientists are just brains that talk about brains to other brains.

julianh,

If you can find something not made by Microsoft, go for it, but I actually picked up a surface go 3 and installed fedora on it. As long as you install the Linux surface kernel it’s actually a really good experience. The only thing that doesn’t completely work are the cameras, but there are workarounds (and anything using libcamera works).

julianh,

I got the i3 version and performance is great for what I use it for (notes, programming, and web browsing). Gnome runs really smooth.

julianh,

Pretty good, although I never used it with windows so I don’t have a comparison. But it easily survives a day of notetaking and some coding, it usually gets down to 20% by the end of the day. Suspend works great, I’ve had it last for multiple days without losing much battery at all.

julianh,

youtu.be/Li4j82QbBvk

It gets recommended to me every so often. But the name makes it almost impossible to search for. It’s like a weird occasional blessing.

julianh,

On most distros you don’t need to restart to update. Mint will just put an icon on the taskbar when updates are ready, and you can even tell it to just do it in the background. No restarts or shutdown warnings.

julianh,

Yeah but no work has to be done during the restart, it’s just booting into the new kernel.

There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

julianh,

You can use a launcher like Heroic to play games you have on gog or epic.

julianh,

Didn’t know morshu was on the supreme court.
