danielfgom , in Any way of reinstalling Fedora 39 while on Fedora 38?
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

I recommend you install Linux Mint and stop using that Fedora shit

They are all decorative flavors of the same system, IBM's systemd "Inside".

HubertManne , in Switched to Linux, don't know what to do

zorin is sorta the opposite of what you ask. its a distro that seeks to emulate windows and its functionality. then also it makes it as out of the box as possible. so it has pretty much any application you need preinstalled including wind along with play on linux so you can install windows things pretty easily.

The iA Writer fonts are quite nice, but super proprietary and not neccesary by any means

I usually use Roboto or Inter as my desktop font on gtk/gnome

DidacticDumbass , in Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?

I know I am reviving an old thread, but my philosophy is that posts are timeless and age should not be a reason not to respond.

Currently I am in the project of learning Rust and Raku, because I am interested in becoming a better systems programmer and I want to be able to do things for my computer without hitting a wall when a solution does not exist, or simply to master my second home.

This is a mindset issue. There is a lot of legacy opinions on how to use your computer, but never forget it is YOUR computer. I say never worry about something being portable to others. What you make will be portable to you, and that is all that matters. Make your computer yours. If someone wants to use your computer but can’t, isn’t that a win?

recently, upon reading about its typographer’s ideas about it, i’m trying avenir over frutiger

All three not just proprietary but also expensive, unless you copy them off a Mac OS install.

Stillhart , in Audio Hardware Question from a Linux newbie

Step one is probably figuring out why the Mojo is turning off. If it’s the USB power going to sleep, the answer could be as simple as running the power USB cable directly to an outlet instead of the computer (which is often better for audio quality anyways). Otherwise, I’d look into the spdif link that the other person posted.

mateomaui , in Sell Me on Linux

In addition to using virtual machines, remember that once a virtual machine is installed, you can use 7zip (or any zipping program) to archive the whole folder containing the vm files, so if something screws up on the vm, you can reset by deleting the folder, restore it from the zipped archive, and trying again without having to do the whole installation process over and over. You can make as many of those archives as you want as you get a vm install to different milestones.

knobbysideup , in Audio Hardware Question from a Linux newbie

See if there’s a way to disable power save for your audio driver module.

I had to do this for Intel for example


<span style="color:#323232;">#/etc/modprobe.d/audio_disable_powersave.conf
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> options snd_hda_intel power_save=0
</span>
das_monk , in Audio Hardware Question from a Linux newbie

I think it might have to do with the lock screen. Try locking the screen while audio is playing and see what happens. If that is the case I think there might be a workaround that involves reverting to the old lock screen or something. Hope this helps…

Okay so I am typing as someone who has helped local businesses set up computer systems. Nothing big just one or two person operations. Getting them computers, downloading their software, and making sure they understand how to keep up to date.

I would recommend you use what you are comfortable with at first. Use Windows, get your business in a comfortable position to experiment. And then I would say try Linux out.

I imagine you will need to keep up to date with invoices and the such and you will need to figure out what software you are going to use that. You could always just be basic and use excel sheets but most businesses are using Quick-books or something similar. And a lot of invoicing software does not work on Linux. I would say invoice-ninja is probably the most popular invoicing software on Linux so that would probably get you the best support. This is usually the point people tell me they will stick with windows.

But if you are able to get past that and maybe learn one of those invoicing software applications then I would say you would have next to 0 issues. As you are in a business environment pick something reliable. Debian, Ubuntu LTS, or RHEL. I would test them all in a vm and see what you like best.

Now word documents may cause issues. Maybe. I find libre office works for me 95% of the time. But I don’t do anything very fancy with it. I write essays and maybe every now and then I will include a graph. I would test libre office on windows and see how that works for you. Only office is also an option but I have 0 experience with it.

Also I find that linux is seriously lacking in ways to manage pdfs. At this point I use my browsers built in pdf reader more than any sort of linux app. Digital signing has always been a pain in the ass and the pdf reader I have the best luck out of is Zathura which is a cli application which is definitely not new-user friendly. But this isn’t really an issue it’s just me nitpicking. You can manage pdfs on linux just as well as windows it just may not be as user friendly some times.

You mentioned you are worried about some video formats not working on linux. May I ask what sort of video formats those are. I find vlc or mpv to have great support for most if not all video formats.

My recommendation would be to use linux. I love it. But this is a new business. Use what works for you as much as possible. Get to the point where you have the funds and free time to experiment and try linux. Poke around with some open source apps in windows and see how they work. Invoice-Ninja and libre office both have windows versions.

I wish you luck with your endeavors and I hope my comment has helped somewhat

dinckelman , in 2in1's or tablet recs. for linux please.

I have had a wonderful experience with the Surface Pro 4, back in uni, and would have definitely recommended that. Check how the 9 performs with Linux.

That said, despite being crowned the champion for this, I would not recommend anything from the Dell XPS line. Especially not the recent machines, or the convertibles

rustyriffs OP , (edited )

why, how come you don’t recommend the dell?

dinckelman ,

Garbage build quality, and poor longevity. Out of the box, they may have been great machines (before the current generation). As soon as you start having problems, you would spend all for your time wishing you got something else

rustyriffs OP ,

Good to know, thanks.
