ani OP ,

Can you recognize any of these distros?

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop? (kbin.social)

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

Lubuntu

I’d recommended Arch because with NixOS you end up having to tinker too much. Besides, if you need to use Linux for development purposes, Arch follows the usual Linux/Unix conventions, while with NixOS you would end up tinkering…And you can always use the Nix app from Arch.

Just use Arch with Gnome or KDE, that will save you a ton of time.

ani ,

Comparatively, NixOS is complex, while Arch is simple. NixOS diverges very much from traditional Linux distributions, beginning with using a diferent filesystem hierarchy, which breaks a ton of apps, requiring workarounds like patches, simulating a standard filesystem… In the long run, you will have to deal with many NixOS-specific issues.

Because you’re going to Uni, it’s better to focus on having a mostly just works distro with updated repository, and that’s Arch. On your free time in the future, maybe try NixOS in a VM just so you have a feel for it. And again, you can use Nix on Arch so you use apps from Nixpkgs.

This all comes from an originally Arch user turned into an experienced NixOS user.

ani ,

Guess you never had to package general or hard to package software like those that require fixed output derivation or undersupported ecosystems, trying to use common development environment for Python under NixOS, running binaries under NixOS, the list goes on.

Fair point, I was mostly listing the major downsides IMO that OP asked for

Do anything that makes you happy. If you have seen Into the Wild, it says happiness is only true when shared. So if you can have time with important people in your life, I think that’s what matters. Once we are gone, we can still live in the minds of people.

Alternative to Azure DevOps Boards

Hi All! I’m looking for an alternative to Azure DevOps boards for my project management. I’m particularly interested in the ability to create relationships between tasks (parent/child and predecessor/successor especially) and to organize cards/stories into parent features or epics or however (I don’t care what they’re...

Look into Zentao. You can find a docker image for it:

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

Second that GNOME hasn’t even a decent logo it’s a feet!!!1 Now KDE has cool dragon. Really, GNOME is trash just keep on KDE life’s miles better I’m very proud of you. If anything else just take a look at COSMIC

Best distro for Lenovo Carbon X1

I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 that is a few years old (7th gen), and I am running Fedora 38.5 with GNOME 44.5. The issue is that the system does not sleep properly. If I close the lid, nothing suspends properly, so if it is not on a charger or shut down it will die within several hours in my bag. Are there any distros that handle...

ani ,

I have been having the same issue with a Lenovo laptop but on NixOS. I suppose this is a kernel issue; I’ll try updating and see if it solves the issue.

If your cat is younger I think your cat would be OK with it, but if your cat is older, in my experience older cats don’t like new cats around.

ani ,

Yeah that name makes sense. Is that surname to combine with the name? because it doesn’t resemble your Polish surname. I think “Gregory Filipo” would be closest to your Polish one

ani ,

You will find what you further need on the go, no need to get more ready than what you’ve already done.

ani ,

This question is confusing. Do you want to create digital cards or print them or both?

What opened your eyes to what's happening in Palestine?

We’re a group of activists in a Western country where most have been brought up with either “Israel = good, Hamas = bad” or “It’s a sad, but unsolvable conflict between two equal sides”. The media heavily skewed to the Israeli perspective, and our politicians want to condemn protests in support of Palestinians....

If you can’t do anything to actually help what good will do getting anxious and dread about it? If you can, donate to orgs, volunteer…

Beyond Good and Evil is the only game from Ubi I remember to have played I liked

ani , (edited )

I can only remember there is an evil organization doing evil things and the main character alongside her friends try to fight them to free the world. I found the gameplay pretty cool and the soundtrack as well

edit: this track I really like it youtu.be/3Ua11Z9RHrA

I finally switched back to Linux as my daily driver after a couple of years of being on nothing but Windows.

I ran Manjaro Linux as my daily driver a few years ago but slowly phased it out for Windows for some reason, and I’m finally back using Linux (currently Linux Mint). I gotta say, I don’t know why I ever switched back to Windows. There’s just so much freedom Linux gives you right off the bat that Windows is just plain...

People using cars as wallpapers on GNU+Linux is trending right now

or Boruto if you’re already called Naruto

ani ,

yes

Bindings are like translations of the relevant C code to Rust so they can use Rust to talk (interop) with the C library instead of having to use C.

Does this mean GTK can’t use Rust natively, at least for the interface?

I never used GTK, but I suppose from this conversation that yes.

Tailor Swift is woke tho so she can burn the planet whatsoever

ani OP ,

I agree 💯 Could not stand finish watching second movie and I can only imagine how bad were the other sequels. The original Matrix was pretty cool though

I found an Ubuntu CD room in the trash, searched about it on the Web, which led me to install it on a low-end PC I had

ani OP ,

IKR the longer I use Linux the more I think about TempleOS

ani OP ,

For real though definitely do not access this site right bellow here and install this OS

▶️▶️▶️❗❗ templeos.org ❗❗◀️◀️◀️

ani OP ,

Davinci Resolve has Linux support. You can install it with Nix search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&sh…

ani OP ,

What is missing? Have you tried rustdesk.com?

ani ,

Do you have cat or a dog? My cat is able to open/close doors, so likely your pet has done it for you.

Tbh there are too many memes it’s polluting this. Lemmy should filter them and give more space to criative communities

choosing guix would mean choosing a smaller community and amount of support for a better language.

I used both NixOS and GNU Guix System, and my conclusion is the same. Things are already hard on NixOS, in Guix it’s order of magnitudes harder. Not worth it at all. Besides, there’s a flake for using Guix on NixOS, so can just use that.
