Yeah, it’s definitely better now then it was before believe it or not. I honestly just avoid them at all cost even on windows. I hate games that ship their own launcher even though I bought it on steam

ye, when I’m shitting on the toilet I look through all the old memes I have

Secret300 ,

This thread is great

Secret300 ,

Like I never really was a linux or open source supremacist, I always believed in using what’s best for you, but rn with all the shit going on you really do have to be an idiot to not switch

Secret300 ,

Imagine using windows in 2023

Secret300 ,

I just disable it and hope for the best.

I mean it makes sense. The game is just the 1st one but worse in every way.

Secret300 ,

NixOS! I can’t for the life of me figure this shit out. It just won’t click for me but I get the advantages so I wanna use it so bad

Secret300 ,

I’d love to see a RISC-V chip used one day

Secret300 ,

I think box64 works for RISC-V as well but I’d have to go double check

Edit: box64 and RISC-V shows stardew valley working. Didn’t really read it

honestly I just use what come with the DE but if I’m not using a DE then I’ll install kitty

Secret300 ,

Kitty is great

Secret300 ,

Ye, I used it once and didn’t like it cause it was green by default. I was still in middle school. Anyways I’ve only heard good things from opensuse

Secret300 ,

Thinkpads are usually really good with linux support. I don’t know about the new ones tho. I always see people post about their T420 or older

Secret300 ,

I don’t care about linux taking over the world or anything but I just want the market share high enough so companies will port their shit over

Secret300 ,

I said I don’t care about world domination. I do care about it getting up tho

I'm done with NextCloud

Just had NextCloud denying my credentials (not for the first time). I know they weren’t wrong because I’m using a password manager. Logs didn’t say much. Was about to reinstall (again, not the first time nextcloud went bonkers on me) before I tried a docker compose down && docker compose up. Lo and behold after a restart...

Very slow, still needs defragmented, proprietary, (I know a lot of people don’t care about that but also a lot feel that proprietary software is malware) and is so unbelievably slow on hard drives. I know I said slow twice but god damn on a hard drive it’s rough. I know just get an SSD but I have a 2TB hard drive I keep my games on. It used to be on NTFS so I could dual-boot and not download a game twice but once I left windows I put ext4 on it and it helps a bit.

Secret300 ,

This might sound ignorant but that’s cause I am. Why doesn’t windows just use ext4, btrfs, XFS, or something open source. They wouldn’t have to worry about developing it so it’d be a load off their chest and they could get really good features that even NTFS doesn’t have. Well maybe not with ext4 but with btrfs

Secret300 ,

Got gnome running on this chromebook with 1GB of ram. Had to set up ZRAM and it was fine. Well as fine as Fedora linux can run on a 1GB chromebook

Secret300 ,

idk who was dumb enough to upvote this but NTFS hasn’t been great. That’s why they’re making a replacement called reFS

Secret300 ,

I think you’re the only one still on twitter

Secret300 ,

I like btrfs cause of transparent compression but I’m pretty sure other filesystems like ZFS have that too

Secret300 ,

Alright, at first I was like okay red hat wants to make money to keep IBM happy. Now I just realize it’s not read hat anymore. Fuck that I’m moving to suse

Secret300 ,

I definitely don’t think element is the best but yes it’s not there yet. Honestly the performance has gotten a lot better but I’m still waiting for VoIP.

element.io/…/introducing-native-matrix-voip-with-…

Secret300 ,

I think the point is to go open source. People are tired of being the product

Secret300 ,

Wait since when. I’ve been waiting for VoIP. I am on Cinny tho so that might be why. The changed the way elements works on linux and it’s so cancer to use now

Secret300 ,

I thought it only had voice chat for calls? Are there voice channels tho?

Secret300 ,

Cinny or fluffychat

Secret300 ,

ye basically, you can use flufflychat in the web browser as well

Was Fedora always so unstable?

I was on Ubuntu for a year. No major issues, although I used the interim releases, which are supposed to be less solid than LTS. Then, a couple of months ago, I decided to switch to Fedora, just out of curiosity. Many people stated how Fedora is rock solid, Fedora is the new Ubuntu, etc. First some rpmfussion updates broke mesa,...

Secret300 ,

I’ve been using fedora since 32 and I’d say this is a bad phase. I have heard time and time again that opensuse is more stable tho

Secret300 ,

The only app I need to work on a linux phone is google maps. Although I haven’t checked how good openstreet map is now. Everything else has a linux alternative

Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?

I’ve tried using it over the years but I never liked it because there was no information. So last night I looked at my local city and there is almost no information at all. I spent a few hours last night adding buildings and restaurants and removing incorrect items. It was actually kind of fun and therapeutic and I plan to do...

Secret300 ,

My girlfriend thinks it’s dumb and I’m wasting my time because Google maps and Apple maps and Bing maps exists but she just doesn’t understand open source.

Time to move on, she ain’t the one. /s

Secret300 ,

completely open source and shared with others

Secret300 ,

For me I just want to see Linux get more support and it’ll get that with more market share so I switched. I think there should be an alternative to windows or mac. Also the terminal is so nice to have. After many years on linux I’m very comfortable in a terminal but still don’t know a lot of the powerful commands, but now with ai I can just ask it how to convert videos or move files from one computer to another and it gives me the command

Secret300 ,

Prolly some osu with my buddy then some Risk of Rain 2.

Anyone else starting to favor Flatpak over native packages?

I am currently using Linux Mint (after a long stint of using MX Linux) after learning it handles Nvidia graphics cards flawlessly, which I am grateful for. Whatever grief I have given Ubuntu in the past, I take it back because when they make something work, it is solid....

Secret300 ,

Probably because tech enthusiasts are the only ones that care about their privacy so they use open source alternative before anyone else

Secret300 OP ,

OpenAFS

Never heard of it. I’ll look into it

I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.

how do you think we got here (gestures all around) in the first place
