turbowafflz,

Silverblue is so good, everything works perfectly out of the box on my hardware (Framework 13 AMD). I was worried I was going to forget how to do anything because it was so easy so I had to make a second partition and install OpenBSD

turbowafflz,

I stopped watching when he got that one rare IBM workstation and sloppily dremeled in all the the screws to open it because he was too lazy to go to the store to buy a screwdriver. That was before I even heard about this and the stupid gun stuff. I know it’s like a minor thing and he only damaged screws and sheet metal parts that could in theory be replaced with a medium amount of difficulty, but I just can’t imagine intentionally damaging something very uncommon because you’re too lazy to buy a screwdriver

turbowafflz,

I think it was a security torx screw if I remember correctly so it makes sense he wouldn’t necessarily have an appropriate bit, but it would have been so little effort to just order one or go to a store

turbowafflz,

I forgot about that part, that whole “repair” was such a mess

turbowafflz,

In the comments he kept responding to everyone being critical and being like “well it’s my computer so I can do anything I want to it”

turbowafflz,

It’s a dumb workaround but this script lets you add custom locations gitlab.com/…/add-location-to-gnome-weather.sh

turbowafflz,

The weather isn’t openweather’s fault. It’s a limitation in libgweather (a gnome project). They have to manually approve locations for them to work.

turbowafflz,

Perhaps openbsd or netbsd? They’re probably less likely to drop hardware support for your device in the near future than any linux distribution

Freebsd is also an option but you would have to compile it yourself as the prebuilt binaries are currently 686 despite it having support back to 486

turbowafflz,

I’ve never noticed BSDs being much slower, and if you’re already used to minimal linux distros like arch it’s not that hard to set them up unless you like need linux-only software.

turbowafflz,

You definitely can install a graphical desktop on whichever BSD, you’ll just have to follow instructions online somewhere instead of running a premade script.

If you want something really easy to use graphically right out of the box there’s also Haiku, it’s a completely independent OS that’s sort of an open source clone of BeOS but a lot more unixy than BeOS was. It’s really lightweight and has maybe my favorite desktop GUI out of every operating system I’ve used. The only real downside to it is that there isn’t an amazing web browser for it yet, the built in WebPositive is a little lacking in support for modern sites and GNOME Web, which you can install from HaikuDepot was a little unstable last time I tried it. If you don’t need to use the web a ton though (which is probably the more pleasant option on your particular system regardless of browser), it’s really nice.

turbowafflz,

That would definitely be valid for a smaller community supported distro like mint, but canonical is a big company that already has kind of a bad reputation for things like that so I think it was reasonable for people to complain

turbowafflz,

In my opinion the title of best desktop is a tie between Plasma, GNOME, and NsCDE. They are all amazing in their own ways and I switch between them all the time.

(Hyprland would be in there if the developer wasn’t a jerk but I’m not willing to use it anymore because he is stupid)

turbowafflz,

Assuming you mean the hyprland guy, he was just being a transphobic jerk to people in his discord server

turbowafflz,

The cursed but arguably better way is cp image.img /dev/whatever

Unless you were advocating for a legally equivalent alternative to marriage just with a different name for people who do not fit your incredibly narrow requirements for marriage, how exactly can you claim you weren’t trying to discriminate against people?

turbowafflz,

I used pixy for a while and it’s pretty good and open source github.com/mrzmyr/pixy-mood-tracker-app

turbowafflz,

Pixy? github.com/mrzmyr/pixy-mood-tracker-app

turbowafflz,

Honestly I feel like good mobile file managers are just like impossible with the small screen size. I just do everything from termux

turbowafflz,

You can add multiple entries per day but if I remember correctly it’s not great at displaying them in a useful way which is unfortunate

turbowafflz, (edited )

Ubuntu -> OpenSuse -> Arch -> OpenSuse

I used ubuntu from when I got my first computer until like 2021 and then I realized I had no idea why I was using it because I didn’t like it

turbowafflz,

Wait is this a blood clot demo that’s been relabeled

turbowafflz,

Looks like opensuse which means it makes a snapshot before every upgrade automatically so if anything breaks you just roll back and everything’s back to how it was

turbowafflz,

Honestly kiwi is a pretty good name for a dog

turbowafflz,

I’ve always thought GUIs felt more like doing things by hand and CLIs felt more like having the computer do it for you. Like if you want to do some complicated task that requires multiple programs and lots of menus using a GUI, it’s easy the first time, but once you need to do it a second time you have to do it all over again by hand. But if you do it from the command line, while it might be harder the first time, subsequent times are zero effort because you can just run the exact same commands again from your history or combine them into one or a script to make it even easier.

turbowafflz,

Honestly I feel like it doesn’t really matter either way, it adds a little complexity for the people maintaining qt and gtk and things like that, but most actual application developers aren’t interacting directly with the display server so it doesn’t make much difference for them

turbowafflz,

Hmm, what happens if there’s a power outage? Or is dark the default state and it needs power to be clear?

turbowafflz,

I feel like an important thing he forgot to mention though is that it lets you allow multiple users to have root privileges without having to share passwords or SSH keys

turbowafflz,

Oh true yeah I always forget about that

turbowafflz,

That’s a commodore computer, their keyboards aren’t terrible but they’re kind of squishy and not the best

turbowafflz,

Imagine if the legs all bent the same way and you saw this scurrying around outside your house on all four legs at night

turbowafflz,

If I’m remembering right, RCA doesn’t actually exist anymore, it’s just one of those names that gets passed around and slapped on random junk like how polaroid is now

turbowafflz,

Why does the second one from the left look like putin

turbowafflz,

That’s a conspiracy theory I haven’t heard before. Enlighten me, how is the speed of light made up?

turbowafflz,

Yeah I mostly agree, I don’t like them adding ads but the way they’re doing it seems not too intrusive so I’m not the most bothered

turbowafflz,

You see the cool thing about places is that they actually contain people, and not all the people inside share the government’s views.

turbowafflz,
  1. And that means they should be killed?
  2. And if it does, the people who don’t share those views should also be killed for because they’re in the minority??
turbowafflz,

In case anyone is curious, as far as I can tell neither of these mottos are real

turbowafflz,

Arm is a risc architecture. The original acronym was Acorn Risc Machine

turbowafflz,

I was talking about them saying “I’d like to see some risc come back onto the market”, I know RISC-V is a different architecture

turbowafflz,

I’ve been using it since about spring 2022 and it’s been way more reliable than X for me. The only times I’ve had trouble was one computer where I was missing one of the pipewire packages I needed for screen sharing and another time I tried to run it on a 20 year old Radeon X1600, but both of those were my fault and not something a normal user is likely to encounter. For context I’ve used Sway, Hyprland, GNOME, and Plasma although the usability has been the same between all of them.

turbowafflz,

This is probably the wrong community since your post has nothing to do with linux

turbowafflz,

I don’t understand why it never occurred to anyone that they could just change the times they do things instead of changing the clock

turbowafflz,

Geans

turbowafflz,

I don’t understand why any hardware uses HDMI anymore anyway, what does it have that displayport doesn’t?

turbowafflz,

AV things sure since they stick around longer, but computers? When was the last time you saw a high end GPU with VGA or DVI? And they already usually have mostly DisplayPort with just one or two HDMI ports

turbowafflz,

OpenSUSE just feels all cool and enterprisey and I feel like I’m doing important things when I use my computer

turbowafflz,

I almost lost my legs when The Object fell out of someone’s purse in front of me in a line
