If you want Debian with more frequent updates, consider going Debian sid. Base Debian is also fine, maybe with Flatpaks for more up-to-date applications where needed.

Oh man. I’m so sorry for your loss. May your system break at some vague point in the future in a way that is nigh impossible to diagnose and that no one else seems to have experienced. Godspeed, you unwillingly content penguin!

You can install it on any machine. It’s just a terminal IRC client. I run it on a small home server with screen so that it’s always on.

Well yeah, the recent xz vulnerability was not present in the source code at all. Any amount of code reading would not have caught that one.

Huh. David Icke was right all along. Who knew?

What am I doing wrong (OpenSuse)?

I’ve been trying Tumbleweed for my gaming needs and so far it seems to be working relatively well. My issue is about removed packages. When I first installed TW, I removed quite a few packages I did not want (KSudoku, LibreOffice, and a few others). It has been a little since I’ve turned on my PC but yesterday I noticed that...

banazir ,
@banazir@lemmy.ml avatar

Always check the package list when updating. Tumbleweed for some reason occasionally wants to install Patterns even if they were not included to begin with. I’ve taken to updating with the command:

sudo zypper dup --no-recommends

to avoid installing packages/patterns I’m trying to avoid. You could probably also mask some packages so they are never installed, but I haven’t looked in to that.

Hope that helps.

Disappoint is a sober word here. I am actually pissed at the casual arrogance of Ubuntu and its parent company Canonical.

I’m actually baffled that this would come as a surprise to people. Canonical has been like this for a long time and you’d have to have blinders on to not see it. They are hell-bent on doing things their way and ignoring the wider Linux community and even their users. That is, of course, their prerogative and to some degree I even welcome their attempts at differentiating their distro from others. As a user though you should be aware of their history and the apparent direction they’re heading.

I just wish they’d stop stalling and went all-in on snaps already, since that’s pretty obviously where they’re headed.

Mystery/ crime/ horror novel recommendations?

ETA: I have read and downloaded many of your recommendations and have had lots of fun reading them! You are such a welcoming enthusiastic bunch. Thanks a lot! Still looking for more suggestions in case someone wants to add to the ever growing list. So far this year I have read twenty seven books....

I’m going to go with a classic and recommend Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

According to Google Plasma 6 for Arch was cancelled :D (beehaw.org)

I don’t use Google directly, but as part of the open source meta search engine SearXNG, where we can specify what search engines it will use. And the top result is from Google and I can confirm that Plasma 6 for Arch is now officially been canceled. And it’s linked to Reddit. :smiley:...

I always thought that a good cup of coffee needs to taste like shit, that’s part of the charm. I enjoy coffee, but it’s not, like, delicious.

Tea is a fickle mistress, too. It’s very easy to make an overly bitter cup of tea, and tea bags tend to taste awful no matter how you prepare them. A good cup of tea takes effort and good quality loose leaf. God I love tea.

Coffee also messes with my digestion and if I’m not careful makes me anxious. These days I avoid coffee and get my morning caffeine fix from yerba mate. It tastes better and is easier to enjoy than coffee.

Pine64 has also had terrible communication for a while now and their site has had technical issues for a month. They have not filled me with confidence as of late.

I’m sure they will take everything that made the original game great and bin it in a misguided attempt to appeal to a customer base they don’t understand.

Fiction!

I’ve finally fallen in love with reading again over the last year. Problem is I’ve only been reading non-fiction. it makes my brain hurt.

Kind of sounds like you just want Debian with netinst image and then do an Expert install. Afterwards you might want to migrate repos to sid. Good luck!

OpenSUSE is good. If corporate scares you off, there’s OpenMandriva Lx or Mageia.

I don’t. When I’m clearly not enjoying a book and don’t feel like finishing it, I stop and move on. Unless I have a pressing reason, I see no point in pushing myself to do something I hate. Reading is for me is fun and interesting, it is not something I do to torture myself. Sometimes it’s hard to “give up” on a book, but in the end life is too short.

Do what you enjoy the way that works for you, there are no rules.

Haven’t watched all of it, but off the top of my head: Bryan Lunduke is long time Linux and FOSS enthusiast who is known for having yearly tongue-in-cheek “Linux sucks” speeches, which have traditionally been good fun. Lunduke has in the past few years become a polarizing figure with a lot of reactionary American politics seeping in to his Linux content. Nicco is a KDE developer and youtuber who made this video to criticize his latest content.

Hard to say, but possibly Spectron for the Spectravideo SV-328. The first game I remember really having an impact was Super Mario Bros. Played it at my friend’s house and afterwards I begged my parents for a NES. That was a happy Christmas.

Some time ago I also bought a PS5 and I regret it. It is absolutely not worth the hassle. Any benefits console gaming had are long gone.

Good questions.

  1. Absolutely valid, but also kind of misleading. For a new user the biggest issue is probably picking the DE. Package managers are important, but they all pretty much do the same thing with some syntax differences. There are some edge cases though. If you really want to go through picking your distro piece by piece, look up installing Gentoo. I don’t really recommend it, but there it is.
  2. You’re not going to be really missing anything by installing Mint, I don’t think. Distros do have different packages in their repositories, but with Flatpaks, Snaps, AppImages, etc. it’s rare to not have something available. And you can always just compile what you need yourself.
  3. Librewolf and Strawberry can get me pretty far.
  4. Drivers come with the kernel. You can uninstall and install programs according to your needs. Be careful though, always make sure you’re not removing something that’s an important dependency for other programs. Might lose your whole DE that way.
  5. Not really something you should be concerned with, honestly. I personally use KDE Plasma and favor QT based programs because I don’t want to pull in GTK libraries, but that’s honestly kind of silly. Some people just like to keep their number of installed packages low.
  6. Just pick one, really. With experience, you can start to personalize your system. You can try different distros/DEs by booting from a flash drive in to a live environment. No changes will be made to your system and you can see if you like the DE.
