I was thinking about using graphene OS, but I’ve read some lemmy users dislike this OS due to perceived misleading advertising and the pixel 7a you’re supposed to install graphene on because it’s from google (an advertising company)....
Didn’t really hop much, started with Windows, went on to OSX, got annoyed at it and ran Arch in a VM until i was comfortable with it, then went bare-metal with it.
Happy Arch user for some years now, though recently I’m using Fedora for work and I really like it. It’s not a good fit for some machines I’m running which need a lot of customisations to run properly.
I have 2x PCIe X16 and 1x PCIe 1x slots that are not being used. Given that Linux has extensive hardware support, there are probably users with interesting PCI card usages...
I usually use bash/python/perl if I can be sure that it will be available on all systems I intend to run the scripts. A notable exception for this would be alpine based containers, there it’s nearly exclusively #!/bin/sh.
Depending on the complexity I will either have a git repository for all random scripts I need and not test them, or a single repo per script with Integrationtests.
Depends, if they are specific to my setup, no, otherwise the git repository is public on my git server.
Usually no, because the servers are not always under my direct control, so the scripts that are on servers are specific to that server/the server fleet.
Regarding your last question in the list: You do you, I personally don’t, partly because of my previous point. A lot of servers are “cattle” provisioned and destroyed on a whim. I would have to sync those modifications to all machines to effectively use them, which is not always possible. So I also don’t do this on any personal devices, because I don’t want to build muscle memory that doesn’t apply everywhere.
I’ve seen so many bots on lemmy summarising the contents of websites and blocked all of them, because of this. They are not reliable, and I still caught myself reading those. I don’t even want to know how many summaries which are in a post body are just generated by an LLM.
Linux needs to grow. Stop telling people it’s ‘tech-y’ or acting like you’re more advanced for using it, you are scaring away people. Linux Mint can be used by a senile person perfectly....
If someone comes to me I’m more than happy to answer questions and help, but I won’t bring it up. People don’t like being told that their tool of choice is “bad” “not optimal” or anything like that. Even if it’s only their choice because they grew up with it or don’t want to learn anything new. And they still need to learn if it’s more than browsing the web.
Also I really don’t want to be the one they come running to once something doesn’t work the way they expected - or not at all. I don’t have the time nor the inclination to be tech support for my family and half of my friends.
