pan_troglodytes, to asklemmy in What game do you play to just chill?

civ 5 - random everything & just do whatever.

pan_troglodytes, to linux in A response to the "Boycott Wayland" article

xorg is going to die eventually. probably long after the xorg fanbois, but it will die - and wayland or something better will take its place.

pan_troglodytes, to asklemmy in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

they’d be like sandals, but with a lot of cushion - like walking on a porpoise. my palanquin bearers would wear them.

pan_troglodytes, to asklemmy in In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?

languages change over time but you can easily pretend to be mute

1 - pretend while you learn the language

2 - you’re fucked, future tech cured this centuries ago

pan_troglodytes, to linux in wayland, not even once

what’s up with this? I see this school of thought bandied around quite a bit recently. wayland… it’s a protocol. do they hate tcp/ip too? can they boycott that instead?

pan_troglodytes, to linux in What happens when Linus dies/retires?

cheering in the streets? orgies?

pan_troglodytes, to asklemmy in What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

its sort of litrpg - less “numbers go up” than most. no idea if a game could be created from it. I dont think we have reached the right tech base to emulate a System yet

pan_troglodytes, to asklemmy in What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

the wandering inn. absolutely no way a movie would do it justice though

pan_troglodytes, to linux in Switched to Linux, don't know what to do

if you want to try other distros, try using gnome-boxes for a bit - it lets you easily spin up a virtual machine. there’s better vm apps out there but boxes is really simple to use. I played around with getting Arch installed via cli last night in a vm (via boxes) - didnt actually install it of course, just re-partitioned the /dev/vda, etc.

I was using mx linux for a while on my testbench machine, switched over to kde neon recently and it’s a much better experience.

pan_troglodytes, to linux in What is the best distro for gaming?

mint or lmde?

pan_troglodytes, to linux in What is the easiest way to try all the DEs?

that looks interesting

pan_troglodytes, (edited ) to linux in Amazon Building its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android

hopefully they’ll design some package manager incompatible with android at the most basic level - and then double down when it’s proven to be a huge mistake. a good tick upwards for dev jobs, but the time for actual competition was over 10 years ago. this will fail miserably.

pan_troglodytes, to linux in Is gnome going to become proprietary?

rofl

pan_troglodytes, to linux in [Old 1997 story] The Greatest OS That (N)ever Was

Whatever the actual numbers, it is not unrealistic that Linux will emerge as the second operating system after Windows, especially given Apple’s currently confusing sense of direction.

curious for a 27 year old article how accurate it turned to be (androidOS notwithstanding). Windows seems to still be the “2,000-pound gorilla” but there are other options available these days…
