I’ve been trying to convert to linux since the mid-2000’s. Ubuntu and derivatives, fedora, and SUSE. Gaming and my lack on knowledge always brought me back to Windows.

In 2018 I tried Manjaro and loved it. But I broke it without the knowledge to fix it multiple times. The Arch BTW memes were strong at the time so I took the plunge and studied the wiki, and documented my own installation process and really learned a lot in the process. Proton was released and suddenly gaming got WAY better. I didn’t remove my windows install completely until 2022 but Arch has been my home on my main machine.

I have since put together a proxmox cluster and run many distros for various things but that’s a whole other rabbit hole!

TOoSmOotH , in LINUX Unplugged talks about the RedHat situation

Basically someone from Redhat is on there saying how they are the victims and downstreams are stealing their stuff. Same talking points over and over.

Arch Linux

ReakDuck ,

I always am going to run into heavy issues when using Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora. On Arch, things also aren’t always smooth, but the issues are mild, always solvable and transparent.

ReakDuck ,

The Arch Wiki is in a language made by users for users. Meaning that its easy to understand because the wiki allows to talk about issues, alternatives and more hints about each small topic, every other wiki has some structure where important details are missing or not taken seriously.

CrabAndBroom ,

Arch and KDE as a DE because I’m a borderline-obsessive tinkerer.

Although NixOS is tempting me, but I haven’t moved past the virtual-machine-specimen-jar phase with that yet lol.

milo128 ,

Starting with a blank slate is so refreshing. It takes time to build everything up from scratch and I understand that you can get a great experience out of the box with other distros, but I love the simplicity of not having any bullshit I didn’t install myself.

ReakDuck ,

True, yeah, didn’t think about the downside that you need to build it up from scratch. But people could use arch based distros I guess? Never used them.

saba , in 5 Great Web Browsers For Linux

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for thekernal.xyz. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.xserver.jp, xserver.jp

edit: another old post showing up on top for me! I need to pay attention to the date before I comment

Kajika , in How to make it such that, when running `command`, it automatically does `SOME_ENV_VAR=value command`? (something cleaner than aliases?)

You can add a new executable in your ~/.local/bin directory like command_custom that would start SOME_ENV_VAR=value command. Like if you use bash:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#!/usr/bin/bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">SOME_ENV_VAR</span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">=</span><span style="color:#183691;">value </span><span style="color:#62a35c;">command
</span>

Do not forget to chmod +x the file to make it executable.

This way you will have additional command for your user only (no sudo require to create/update those), for system-wise command put it in /usr/local/bin.

skillissuer , in Black screen blinking prompt during apt upgrade: what to do?

something similar happened to me lately (on linux mint): i’ve somehow lost xorg and cinnamon due to botched wine install or maybe uninstall. what worked for me: i was able to install them again without gui, reboot (this time getting gui back) then run timeshift (that worked somehow) to restore to yesterday’s backup. note: you will be probably able to access your files in cli, and if in doubt back them up, then if all else fails you can spin up new install of your distro. it’s most likely recoverable but it will take an evening in the worst case

since then i’m making full backups every month

sarsaparilyptus , in Firefox 116 Beta Brings Quick Actions in Address Bar, Improves Wayland Support

They added features that benefit power users and developers? I’m sure someone at Mozilla will be fired for this soon enough

Engywuck ,

That’s likely a mistake that will be corrected before the stable release. /s

    It’s something you can disable, and work is already been done to allow the user to further customize it.

    sarsaparilyptus ,

    Anybody who thinks that feature should ever have been included in the first place should be given a dunce cap and a Vsmile

    laxe , in Firefox 116 Beta Brings Quick Actions in Address Bar, Improves Wayland Support

    Using Firefox to post on Lemmy - feels good man.

    Having said that, Firefox would be much better if Mozilla would spend their resources on improving the browser instead of random shenanigans.

    • Linux Unplugged
    • Self Hosted

    Hosts are engaging, topics are interesting (to me), and I enjoy the discussions and banter.

    stappern , in Ubuntu trying to install snap AND Firefox even though I have removed them a year back

    Nice.

    Not sure why this is downvoted. Trolls?

    Anyway, I am seconding this post. I would like a good podcast on linux development.

    Edit Oh, right, you kiiinda posted this 3 times. That is why people are downvoting this.
