OsrsNeedsF2P,

Psh, my washing machine came with Linux out of the box

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Followup on the other person’s response - I don’t actually know of any modern desktop distro that doesn’t support KDE. That’s not because distros go out of their way to package KDE, but simply because at the end of the day, KDE is simply a fullscreen app (with a heck of a lot of functionality), and if you can compile code, you can compile and run KDE.

Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages). If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it… (If all computers left...

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Nah linuxreviews.org/Macs_%26_MacOS:_Greener_Grass%3F

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Last 3 jobs I’ve worked at, I made it sure they understood I needed a Linux laptop to work. They all offered MacBooks (and I made the mistake of taking the MacBook once), but as long as it’s a good company (i.e. no removed IT department) they’ll allow it

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Not sure the tipping point, but being named Bernie would do it for me

OsrsNeedsF2P,

It’s all in the prompting. Test yelling at it, making it pretend do be something else, etc

OsrsNeedsF2P,

What do you mean by contamination? (I’ve never used Nix)

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Everyone is downvoting OP, but OP is literally the common case of what users actually want…

KDE Plasma 6.0, and KDE Gear 24.02 released (kde.org)

Today the KDE Community is announcing a new najor release of Plasma 6.0, and Gear 24.02. KDE Plasma is a modern, feature-rich desktop environment for Linux-based operating systems. Known for its sleek design, customizable interface, and extensive set of applications, it is also open source, devoid of ads, and makes protecting...

OsrsNeedsF2P,

THE CUBE IS PROOF KDE IS RUN BY THE PEOPLE

OsrsNeedsF2P,

That software played a much bigger role back in the day (i.e Konqueror’s. KHTML was forked by both Apple and later Google for Safari and Chrome), so it’s kind of a proud legacy. Konqueror is deprecated though. The other apps are useful for KDE mobile.

But the real reason people work on them is “cause they wanna”

OsrsNeedsF2P,

I think he’s referring to Gnome, which kind of feels like MacOS?

OsrsNeedsF2P,

I didn’t downvote you lol

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Yup, Purism disables Intel AMT.

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Which one are you referring to?

OsrsNeedsF2P,

LMMS 1.2.2 SF2 soundfonts no longer work in Wine 9.1

This is actually a pretty interesting fix, given that LMMS (which is Linux-first) has an optional dependency for Wine because so many 3rd party components are Windows only.

OsrsNeedsF2P,

I’m just happy we federate with other Lemmy instances

OsrsNeedsF2P,

That’s what ended up getting Capone too: forbes.com/…/al-capone-sentenced-to-prison-for-ta…

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Can someone tell me what “No Salad” actually means?

OsrsNeedsF2P,

I’ve given up giving people sleep tips on Lemmy. You go into any detail or suggest they have to change their habits, and they react like you killed their dog.

OsrsNeedsF2P,

AI doesn’t scare me.

People like you scare me.

Snap Trap: The Hidden Dangers Within Ubuntu's Package Suggestion System (www.aquasec.com)

Aqua Nautilus researchers have identified a security issue that arises from the interaction between Ubuntu’s command-not-found package and the snap package repository. While command-not-found serves as a convenient tool for suggesting installations for uninstalled commands, it can be inadvertently manipulated by attackers...

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Neither Canonical"s Snapstore, nor Flathub manually verify apps. They’re both similar to the Play Store or App Store where it’s managed by the app developer.

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Tl;dr Someone makes a package called “chromee”, you try to install “chrome” via apt, it’s not found, but finds “chromee” in Snap and suggests it.

They could simply make it so the auto suggestion only suggests FOSS apps from verified publishers, since they already have that data

OsrsNeedsF2P,

While it looks like OP got it sorted out, all their comments suggest they’re running into complex issues that are solved by the “bloat” software they’re trying to avoid.

Feels like they’ll quickly proclaim “Linux doesn’t work” and go back to Windows.

Pro-tip OP: The 800mb of packages that get installed alongside your first KDE or Gnome software is not “bloat”, they’ll be common libraries you dodged installing when you gave yourself an X11 server with no DE

OsrsNeedsF2P,

What does a DIY distro mean? Is typing archinstall out of the question?

I tried, I really did

I’ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I’ve mainly dealt with Windows. I’ve worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able...

OsrsNeedsF2P,

It’s more like Linux is a pain in the ass, especially for IT professionals.

How many people are trying to use 4 monitors with weird configurations and admin software? Most people open up their laptop lid and run some programs, that’s about it.

Point in case, much like OP I do personally use 2 monitors + Nvidia GPU + LLM and it worked out of the box on Arch Linux, but Wayland crashes my setup so I need to be aware of that.

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Did you just CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 your comment?

OsrsNeedsF2P,

3d sexualized images of minors?

No. Get help

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Nah B knows and they vibe with you because of A, not in spite of it

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Was the first really big powercreep tbh. We all expected it to get patched out

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Proton is only meant to be run inside the Steam container. It does a lot of custom stuff that causes weird bugs when used outside Steam.

Glorious Eggroll was fed up with people using GE-Proton outside of Steam and reporting bugs, so he made Wine-GE so people could get all the fixes but run it outside of Steam

Stop using gitlab.com for projects - Credit card info required for new registrations

If your IP (and possible your browser) looks “suspicious” or has been used by other users before, you need to add additional information for registration on gitlab.com, which includes your mobile phone number and possibly credit card information. Since it is not possible to contribute or even report issues on open source...

OsrsNeedsF2P,

If you want people to contribute to your project, Github is by far the best. If you’re off Github, it reduces your visibility by a lot.

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Canonical still does more for the Linux desktop than most of us ever have or ever will

OsrsNeedsF2P,

One of my issues at the moment is cross managing different workstreams particularly with personal projects which are more in the “if I have time category”.

Literally what I use virtual desktops to solve

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Make the print screen button call flameshot gui and you’re golden

OsrsNeedsF2P,

We’re going to move very quickly to a DRM supported web model. There won’t be captchas, but you will require a locked down device (with no ad blocker) to access the content

OsrsNeedsF2P,

It’s by one of the Lemmy founders btw

OsrsNeedsF2P,

“America is awful! We need radical change”

“nooo I don’t actually mean it TT…”
