shapis, to memes in My parents were watching the History Channel and needed to inform me of this amazing theory

They obviously were landing pads for alien ships.

shapis, to asklemmy in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?
@shapis@lemmy.ml avatar

Only thing that isn’t bullshit is be nice and be confident.

shapis, to linux in How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?
@shapis@lemmy.ml avatar

It would be easier if you told us specifically what programs you need that aren’t supported.

It’s a hard sell explaining to new people that they will have software up to a couple years out of date.

shapis, to linux in Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)
@shapis@lemmy.ml avatar

I tried really hard for about a year to use gnome without extensions.

I’d say at best in the end it wasn’t annoying me too much.

Recently tried dash to panel again and yeah. I’m not going back.

I do not understand how people manage multiple programs open without a tray. Do they just memorize in what workspace everything is at all times ?

shapis, (edited ) to linux in What's new in Fedora Workstation 39
@shapis@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve been using Fedora for months now and it was my first time using Linux. Is probably the most modern and best working distro right now.

I’m not gonna suggest to you to switch distros or whatever. But most of the modern feeling you are seeing is just the DE, which you can use whichever one with whatever distro. As far as Fedora’s own stack the centerpiece which is the package manager is actually really slow comparing with anything else.

You think Arch or Mint wouldn’t become just like Red Hat if they had the user’s numbers?

Yeah. They wouldn’t. I think they actually already do have higher number of users than fedora actually. If they don’t, then Debian surely does.

Red Hat is a for profit company, and their first goal will always be that even if that means squeezing you and making the experience worse for you.

Community distros are explicitly about the community and not about profit, and it works quite well.

    Yet they scream when their 6 months old un-updated windows install wants then to update

    The problem isn’t the OS being out of date I wouldn’t think, it’s the applications they actually use. Flatpaks are kind of a solution but not really.

    shapis, to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?
    @shapis@lemmy.ml avatar

    No, we are sad because the decrease in posts lately have left behind the worst parts of reddit.

    How so?

    if a distro becomes really really popular is inevitable that sooner or later some kind of corporation will put it’s hands on it.

    Not how it works. And more so in general if you’re interested and curious do some reading on copyleft licenses. It’s truly a marvelous thing and they work quite well at keeping projects open.

    I know Fedora is mostly just Gnome, but you can’t deny it’s probably the best implementation of it in any distro.

    I absolutely can, what. It’s about the same as all other distros that don’t add much or at all to the upstream version.

    And Arch is definitely not easy to install for a newbie.

    If you are interested in trying it some time, once you’re in the installer type “archinstall”. It’s a default installation script that makes it easy to install. There isn’t nearly as much upkeep as the memes would suggest.

    shapis, (edited ) to asklemmy in What password manager do you recommend?
    @shapis@lemmy.ml avatar

    protonpass for sure.

    Bitwarden is great, but it’s way too easy to lock yourself out of it if it’s your first pw manager ever.

    shapis, to asklemmy in What are Lemmy's unwritten rules?
    @shapis@lemmy.ml avatar

    Except the first Suicide Squad.

    The heck? That movie’s trailer slaps hard.

    shapis, to linuxmemes in Text editor war
    @shapis@lemmy.ml avatar

    Does ’sudo gedit’ not work?

    If my memory doesn’t fail me it used to. But gedit isnt the default text editor anymore. The new one is quite cool and clean.

    It doesnt work with sudo though sadly. It’s not the biggest problem tho, just a small annoyance, using the occasional sudo nano to edit files isnt a big deal.

    I wish I could just edit text files as sudo with the default gnome text editor instead.
