Doing another run in Satisfactory. I’m building a mega base building vertically and horizontally. I’m around 30 hours in in this run, made coal after about 6 hours and I’m still working on oil, but getting there. I’ve gotten to the last tier before, stayed a while, but never pushed long enough to obtain the employee of the planet cup or to buy everything in the awesome shop.

    You spend much more time trying to fix something in Linux and get it working than actually using it to do useful work.

    Not really…

    On Linux if it breaks, I can often dig into the source and quickly figure out what’s broken.

    On Windows, I’m usually shit outta luck. Gotta trawl through tons of messy forums and bullshit SEO-optimised blogspam sites to find a solution.

    And for the 99.9% of humanity for whom that is either impossible, or a dreadful slog,

    Suggestion if you duel booted with Ubuntu, you may want to wipe and go pure debian. And for reference, I’ve been using Ubuntu since 16.04 great OS it’s been great to me but a lot of the advantages it provided over base debian have been eroded.

    SkipWapPallyPap OP ,

    I the reason I have started with Ubuntu is there is so much information easy for me to find on it. Is Debian the same way? Is it pretty easy for a person really new to Linux?

    Im_old ,

    Debian predates Ubuntu by a long time. Ubuntu was actually started as a repackaged/modernized version of Debian (yes, I know, it’s a gross approximation, live with it). You WILL find anything you need on documentation on debian. Also, you can download the DVD version that has pretty much anything, including dev tools (like gcc and kernel sources) that you can use to build the driver from source (when you download it via windows for example).

    As a personal note: trying to add wifi connectivity to linux is also how I cut my teeth on linux 20+ years ago. It is hard if you don’t know what’s going on, but don’t despair: the knowledge you’ll get will be useful for years to come.

    Valmond , to technology in Best Linux laptop for 2023

    That seems quite top of the line even today.

    For battery life, the screen, the screen, the GPU (seems you use an IGP), the size of the screen, and the CPU are the main culprits.

    64GB RAM will use some battery do you really need that much?

    Hopefully your 1TB is an SSD otherwise an SSD is a nice upgrade.

    There are also fat fat powerbanks for power users far away from a 110/220volt line!

    I Am curious, most often power hungry laptops are gaming ones… What do you do with yours?

    ede OP ,

    I’m in DevSecOps, and do a lot of heavy development and testing, as well as PoCs. Ideally, I’d have 128GB of RAM but laptops aren’t quite there yet. The HD is a Samsung SSD.

    I usually have the GPU set to integrated graphics unless I’m doing some heavy load in which case I’ll switch over to the nvidia GPU. I also switch between power modes depending on my use case at the time.

    There’s not a lot I can do with the CPU other than the optimizations I’ve done thus far. It’s actually one of the main reasons I’m looking to upgrade so I can have better performance per watt and take advantage of various cores depending on workload.

    Morphior ,

    What OS are you primarily using? I’d imagine Kali for pentesting if you do that, but what do you use everyday?

    Valmond ,

    Interesting, thanks for sharing!

    I’m still using swype. Nothing else competes, and the two closest are owned by the two companies I’m least willing to use a keyboard by.

    I’ve been using Microsoft authenticator for a long time but authenticator pro looks decent. Just tried to export stuff from Microsoft app and there is one interesting thing: i will have to do all of my accounts manually. Yep, no export. But i will do it, after that i eill have not a single app from Microsoft which means my privacy will be happier

    Definitely helpful, but administration only goes so far with the Lemmy database. Take a look at this post and let me know if it answers any of your questions; if you have more feel free to ask, or ping me on matrix @penguincoder:hive.beehaw.org

    Just before this week finished the second act of Pentiment, and waiting for a bit before starting the third one. Don’t want the game to end…

    You don’t choose Linux. Linux choose you. That being said

    It’s not that hard actually but you need a lot of free time and motivation to keep learning. When I was a student I was deep on Archlinux + DWM / AwesomeWM + lots of console applications now that I am a functional working men I just stick to a stable distro (Currently Debian Testing) I think the secret is have good hardware compatibility and if you want to try some weird configuration just use a VM first or just use a immutable distro.

    KLISHDFSDF ,
    @KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml avatar

    The secret is definitely to have good hardware compatibility, as that address 99% of the issues people have, but anything that requires a lot of free time and motivation to keep learning is, I would say, hard by definition.

    I like Aegis being FOSS and for it’s backup.

    FarLine99 ,

    Keepass for passwords AND 2FA codes. It is really awesome to have them in one place.

    Ganbat ,

    Not very secure, though. I use a second db for TOTP.

    privsecfoss ,
    @privsecfoss@feddit.dk avatar

    I agree, but not very secure if Keepass is compromised. For security I think it’s better to separate passwords and MFA.

    FarLine99 ,

    Maybe. But in day to day life I think it is ok.

    +1 for Aegis, that’s what I use.

    I think subdirs would break the whole fedi handle system; [email protected]/masto wouldn’t make sense to most clients.
