Your story is almost a carbon copy of mine. Really enjoyed using Pop.

governorkeagan ,

I used Pop!_OS when transitioning from Windows 11 to Linux and ran it for about 3/4 months before deciding to try EndeavourOS. I had absolutely no issues with Pop and it really made the transition super easy.

I’m super excited to try out their new (cosmic) DE! I will probably install Pop on my 2nd SSD to test and play around with it.

Any problems I’ve had have been my own doing or a weird Nvidia driver issue. Having said that though, I’ve had very very few issues, it has been rock solid!

I’ve got a couple of packages from the AUR but I don’t recall ever having any issues with any of them.

The only real “issue” I’ve had has been related to the Linux Kernel on my main machine (Ryzen 5 3600 & Nvidia GTX1660 TI). For some reason, only the LTS and mainline kernel work, if I try any other kernel I get an error (something to do with Nvidia and my GPU).

Whenever I visit a dam, I always find them incredible!

governorkeagan ,

Made my day. Thank you.

governorkeagan ,

Works great for me. I’m on X11 for now as an application for work refuses to work with Wayland - support page and I haven’t tried figuring out how to get it to use Xwayland.

Now that I think about it, I had one issue with screen tearing but that was more a driver issue with Nvidia.

governorkeagan ,

This. I’ve not had any issues across my laptop or desktop.

governorkeagan OP ,

This is exactly what I’m looking for, thank you!

governorkeagan OP ,

That looks interesting. I like the idea of trying to emulate a system only using the command line - I learn a lot from hands-on projects like this

governorkeagan OP ,

I’ve been doing this to a lesser extent. Where possible I’d try to use the terminal to perform a task which would often require reading up about certain commands (either because they’re new to me or I’ve forgotten something). I suppose like anything it’ll take time for me to get more confident.

governorkeagan OP ,

I’ll definitely give man some more love. Thanks for the advice

governorkeagan OP ,

That’s super useful, thanks!

governorkeagan OP ,

Thank you for such a detailed response.

I’ve tried learning Vim previously but I never really gave it as much time as I should have. I haven’t tried Emacs yet, I’ll have a look at that as well.

governorkeagan OP ,

Use find and grep to find all files with a certain extension (this will involve the wildcard character *

I definitely need to practice using find and grep. When I do need to use them I almost always need to look up the command

governorkeagan OP ,

Thank you for such a detailed breakdown! I’ll give all of this a go over the weekend.

governorkeagan ,

I tried a couple of months ago on my Windows PC and something went wrong somewhere and my USB was stuck in a permanent read-only state.

I definitely will give it another try though, it’s super handy to have.

I’m an idiot and got Ventoy confused with another program I was testing at the time. Please ignore me.

governorkeagan ,

No one is forcing you or anyone to use KDE. You don’t like it? Cool, choose one of the other options available.

governorkeagan ,

Uhm, okay.

governorkeagan ,

I’m running an LTS kernel on my desktop and a non-LTS on my laptop (both machine are running EndeavourOS). Both have been rock solid.

The only instability I’ve had is when I tried running a customised kernel (linux-cachyos)

governorkeagan ,

You’ve just reminded me that I need to get snapshots setup on my EOS install, thank you!

governorkeagan OP ,

Do you mean, why I don’t use Arch? Instead of EndeavourOS or CachyOS.

governorkeagan OP ,

I’ve not looked at different kernels much so that would be very interesting.

governorkeagan OP ,

I have a very similar sentiment. I’m really happy with EndeavourOS and don’t have any real need or desire to distro hop at the moment.

governorkeagan OP ,

I’ll give that a go and see what it’s like, thanks! This seems like a stupid question, but I’ll ask anyway.

What happens to my packages installed with the default repos on my system? Will they get changed to the CachyOS optimized version when I go to update or will they remain the same? My guess is that nothing will happen but I’m not certain.

governorkeagan OP ,

That’s good to know. Not worth a reinstall for me then.

governorkeagan OP ,

You’ve answered another question I had (I asked it in another comment), thank you! I’ll give the kernel and Cachy repo a try on my EOS install and see how it goes. Thanks again for the detailed response, it’s super useful!

governorkeagan OP ,

I have done a manual install of Arch, just to say that I did. Who knows, I might do that again in the future but for now I’m happy with EOS.

governorkeagan OP ,

This summarises my thought process on the whole thing really nicely.

governorkeagan OP ,

Have in mind that package count is unique to each package manager and how the distribution packages.

Didn’t even think about that, but it makes total sense.

Besides that the term is also often used to just exaggerate and not meant literally

Totally agree, it makes for a good video/blog title that gets clicks. Those videos/blogs can still be interesting and informative, but, like you said it tends to be exaggerated.

governorkeagan OP ,

I would probably add (as a couple of others have already mentioned) if it slows down the update process by pulling loads of software/dependencies that I’m not using.

governorkeagan OP ,

Me, occasionally. I like seeing the little Pac-Man eat away at progress of a download on EndeavourOS.

Also, this video covers it slightly.

governorkeagan OP ,

I would love to get to the point where I’m as comfortable moving around my files in the terminal as I an in a gui.

How do you feel confident in the workplace?

I was a student for many years (5 years of undergrad, 2.5 years of grad school), and I became very comfortable with always being able to look at the syllabus and my grade and know what I needed to do and how well I was performing. Work isn’t like that. Like I think is normal, I get a performance review once a year. I find this...

governorkeagan ,

I have had good managers and the difference in work culture is astounding.

I second this. My last manager was absolutely fantastic! Hands down the best manager I’ve had, we constantly had informal chats so I knew where I stood and what I could improve upon. He was also really good at pushing you a little further than you thought you could and would then help you grow a whole bunch.

governorkeagan ,

I’m not daily driving PopOS anymore but I’m still super excited to test Cosmic when it releases!

governorkeagan , (edited )

I’m no expert but I assume that the year Christ died would be “year zero” (assuming you’re talking about anno Domini (AD) and before Christ (BC)) since we started counting after that.

EDIT: reading more on the topic I might be completely incorrect with my above statement. If someone else knows, please do correct me

EDIT 2: I found this on Wikipedia which talks about a “year zero”

governorkeagan ,

I did something similar during Covid while working from home. I bought a pack of NFC tags and stuck one on the other side of my room. When my alarm went off I had to open the app on my phone to scan the tag to switch it off, worked well the majority of the time.

governorkeagan ,

Original Reddit post (using an alternative front end) if anyone is interested.

governorkeagan ,

Possibly a n00b question. What’s the benefit of fish over zsh or bash? Does it provide something extra?

I’m using zsh at the moment.

When people post YouTube links, is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube, firefox, or downloading adblockers?

When people post YouTube links… is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube? Because when I click on a YouTube link and I’m on my phone and it immediately gives me an ad it’s pissing me off like in a huge way… is there a way to bypass ads without an ad blocker on my phone

governorkeagan ,

Yes! You can use an alternative front end - you’ll have to watch in your browser.

There is a bot on some communities that will post the Piped Version. The other option is to use a version of Invidious which you can find here.

Clicking on a YouTube link will take you to the YouTube app if you have it. You’d have to copy and paste the link into the search fields of the above.

The other option is to use xvanced. I have not used it in a long time and I’m not sure of the current status but it should work.
