Rogue , to linux in Switch from Ubuntu to something immutable?

I used Ubuntu for a long while, then Debian for a new PC because the video card or display just wasn’t working on Ubuntu.

Couple of weeks ago I finally tried this distro hopping thing people have been on about. I’d stuck with Ubuntu for so long due to an apparently misguided belief that it was stable.

I’m now using Project Bluefin from Universal Blue, a derivative of Fedora Silverblue and I’m blown away by how good it is. It uses Gnome and the maintainer has packaged a few tweaks to keep it similar in user experience to Ubuntu, along with a fantastic array of great software I never knew existed.

I’d highly recommend it to anyone historically loyal to Debian or Ubuntu.

For gaming you can easily install Bazzite as a container to access Steam. I can’t say I fully follow the tech stack that makes it work, but it just does. Whereas my boilerplate Steam install on Debian was completely botched.

Universal Blue really is the future…

For a first timer Id recommend just complimenting the other person’s watch

Rogue , to linux in Why does no distro utilise BitTorrent to distribute packages?

I suspect if this was enabled by default there would be uproar from people annoyed the distro was stealing their bandwidth, and if it were opt-in then very few people would do it.

Windows Update uses peer to peer to distribute updates. It’s one of the first things I always disabled.

Rogue , to linux in Dual monitor suspend, one monitor does not turn on when waking up.

Occasionally only one of my monitors will turn on, I end up having to unplug the power cable to kick the other in to life.

I’m using Debian, with an AMD 6700 XT graphics card, dual monitors via display port. I’ve just ended up accepting it as one of the quirks of the Linux experience.

Rogue , to linux in Trying to ditch windows

This is Visual Studio **Code ** which is a very different app to Visual Studio

Rogue , to nostupidquestions in So uhh.. how often should I be washing me towels?

If you only shower once a month I don’t understand why I you’d need to wash the towel any more regularly?

Rogue , to asklemmy in People that don’t wear antiperspirant…

I’m not against criticism, certainly the number of downvotes suggests I phrased it poorly or should have kept my views to myself.

I tried to present my views in a neutral manner without accusation. I used the term reflect because as you state I have no idea of the user’s situation so it’s for them to reflect.

I used a separate paragraph for the reference to hygiene in order to make a distinction between what I did and did not know. What I had hoped to raise was the distinction between hygiene and just applying masking products. But I didn’t know how to communicate that without being more specific.

I apologise if I caused offense. None was intended. I’m some random person online, my views are my own, if I have caused offense I hope that can be easily dismissed as just another provocative voice online.

Rogue , to piracy in Naming Torrents

Semi colons wouldn’t be valid in file names so they’re ignored so there’s no reason to include hyphens either

Rogue , to asklemmy in People that don’t wear antiperspirant…

It’s not just cultural in terms of nations it’s also dependent on the type of work. You’re going to be critical of a taxi driver stinking of BO when he sits in an air conditioned cab all day, but not somebody doing physical labour in the open air

Rogue , to asklemmy in People that don’t wear antiperspirant…

Dude… Maybe re read what you wrote and reflect on it?

There’s a cliche of Internet folk with poor hygiene and it’s something that should be addressed but it can be awkward for people to bring it up.

Rogue , to mildlyinteresting in Scrabble’s New Official Word List Contains Dozens of Stunning Additions. Elite Players Are Mortified.

I’m pretty sure the tournaments are just memorising lists. A man won the French competition without being able to speak French… He just memorised the accepted words.

Rogue , to linux in Rewriting nouveau’s Website (drivers for NVIDIA)

Bills?! Bills?! How very dare you suggest that people require compensation for their work.

You’re in a Linux community here. Open Source development is about freedom. All work should be made freely available for users and corporations to enjoy as they wish without having to consider such frivolities of whether anyone should be compensated.

The fact your comment here is at -1 really underlines the immaturity of many users.

I can understand your previous comment getting downvoted because it was a little inflammatory, but your statement here is entirely factual with a neutral tone. So there’s really no reason to disagree with it, let alone pepper it with downvotes.

Rogue , to technology in Microsoft will let users uninstall Edge, Bing, and disable ads on Windows 11 as it complies with the Digital Markets Act

I do understand - but as a society we’re working to remove unnecessary gendered terms from our language. I believe in doing similar with religious terms.

Language is important. If we’re thanking a deity for the work of government it’s both minimalising the work of elected representatives and exclusionary to other cultures.
