What makes you not want to use Linux anymore and maybe move back to Windows, MacOS, or TempleOS?
  • I am glad that you are at peace with your workstations now, but just for updates on current situation in Linux Desktop world:

    1. Mostly the same, but now you can just turn switchable graphics off, so to only use Nvidia.
    2. Now we can use stable pipewire which is 3x times better
    3. Have not seen a delayed arch update problem in a while.
    4. Now it's fine. In Build steam browser still sucks tho, and turning hardware acceleration is an ass ton of problems even now.
    5. Depending on your laptop and configs, some Linux oriented laptops can live for 15 hours on stock
    6. It's easy with Cups and HP drivers, even trou Wi-Fi
    7. Now there are tools that can configure external monitor management. Also, Wayland is good with these types without configs
    8. We still don't have Microsoft Office
    9. Flash works with emulators like Ruffles

    Glad that Linux have noticeable progress in its lifespan

  • Let’s kickstart this community: what are your favorite config options and plugins?
  • Default line wraping with this options:

    opt.linebreak = true

    opt.breakindent = true

    Makes writing and reading notes a lot better. Don't know about coding tho, some people don't like it but for me it's a killer feature.

  • Advice for setting up my nephew’s first laptop.
  • Replace the HDD with a 512 GB SATA SSD, install 8 GBs of RAM and it will probably last more

    nah, it would seem more magical when in 4 years his great uncle magically upgrades his pc to be light years faster. Had this experience as a kid, totally worth it.

  • I was sick and my throat hurt, so my mom and I went to see a doctor, my usual pediatrician was off for some reason and we went to different doc, he was young by the look. I opened my mouth so he could see what's wrong, he covered his nose and shut my mouth this instant and told it was a virus infection, it was clear that he didn't even think before answering, so mother just treated my throat like it was Angina and pain got away. Seen this doc 2 times after and he just gave general advices like eat vitamins and stuff.

    Why even become a doctor if you not gonna treat your patients, specially children?

  • I was installing Linux normally, but messed up the partitioning, so instead of root, boot/efi and /home. I mounted root to Efi, so every change to Root doubled to EFI and so one. I wasn't aware of this until some months ago my /dev/sda1 with / was over the space limit. So I went to check, noticed that /boot/efi is like 30 GiB in size, casually wrote "rm -rf boot/efi/" and because my root and efi were mostly linked and copied each other, the command run as if I ran "rm -rf /" and borked my install.

    Be careful with partitioning, or better yet, don't partition manually ar 2am

  • Does anyone still use RSS and if so what are you subscribed to?
  • mostly Linux related news like: Arch Linux News,Fedora Magazine, Budgies of Budgie and Phoronix.

    Would use for normalnews also, but I can't find RSS feeds that I can trust with this type of news

  • Do you click your fingers?
  • well, you can snap your fingers in half, or cause damage to spine nerves. Only if you try too hard, if it isn't cracking right now, it is for the best to stop at that, or try different method. But if it cracks right away in your healthy body parts, then this is good.

    Also avoid neck cracking, it can really mess you up to death.
