I wish there were more focus on the desktop and app gui side of things on Linux
sure using the terminal to install things is very efficient but some people just want an install button and a gui that they don’t have to use more than 2 braincells to figure out why package not found or some obscure error with an app for the next 2 hours with forum pages full of condescending non answers
I can’t vouch for every Linux distro that claims to be user-friendly, but I’ve fully switched to Linux Mint a couple of months ago, and I’ve had no issues. The only times I’ve used the console are when I want to use it.
My biggest worry before fully switching was playing pirated games, or games that I bought outside of Steam, but using Lutris it has been pretty straight forward.
I'm tired of pandering to people that can't take the time to learn how to operate a computer. I hate the trend of the last 25 years of making everything "idiot proof", because it's not helping people, it's making them dumber. I remember a time when normal users were expected to set DIP switches on their motherboards and edit autoexec.bat files.
A lot of gen-z doesn't even know what a hierarchial filesystem is anymore. They just shove all their media into "galleries", but can't actually tell you where that file is actually located.
This is the unfortunate reality. My kids (11 and 9) have only ever used Linux distros, and they are keyboard warriors to boot. They say that the only reason to use the mouse is to aim in video games 🤣
I’m not sure if you’re joking or not, but the behavior of journald is fairly dynamic and can be configured to an obnoxious degree, including compression and sealing.
SystemMaxUse= and RuntimeMaxUse= control how much disk space the journal may use up at most. SystemKeepFree= and RuntimeKeepFree= control how much disk space systemd-journald shall leave free for other uses. systemd-journald will respect both limits and use the smaller of the two values.
The first pair defaults to 10% and the second to 15% of the size of the respective file system, but each value is capped to 4G.
Or he brushed his teeth but continued to consume copious amounts of mountain dew and coke. Doesn’t matter how much you brush, tons of soft drinks will still destroy your enamel.
Counterpoint, I drink over 2 l of soda a day almost every single day, I have not had a cavity in the last 7 years, and my enamel is amazing.
I said all of that to say there is a genetic factor to consider, and if you are having enamel issues because of sodas then you would have likely also had them because of tomatoes and other citrusy zesty and acidic foods.
You can't just blame the soda, although I will admit that I'm sure my teeth health would be better if I did not drink so much soda.
That’s a fucking shit load of calories and stuff that just isn’t good for you, just the fact that it’s acidic will lead to gastric issues in the long run.
