governorkeagan OP ,

Edit: replied to wrong comment

governorkeagan ,

I’ll add some context for anyone who might be interested.

why does the poster image of c/linux have 3.8mb?

When speaking Portuguese (possibly Spanish as well) you would say it like this, a imagem tem….

It is quite common for native speakers of Portuguese (and probably Spanish) mix this up when speaking English.

source: I speak Portuguese

This was the first I’d heard of it and from my first impression it seemed like it could be a solid beginner distributor.

Glad to see you do recommend it to beginners. This would probably be easier for my partner to get into compared to Pop!_OS (I’ll be testing this soon though!)

governorkeagan OP ,

I do the same when I’m at my desk working. Sometimes I need to check the forecast, which is when a weather app is useful (e.g planning what clothing I’ll need for a cycle that will be multiple hours).

governorkeagan OP ,

I’ll give it a shot, thanks!

governorkeagan OP ,

Thanks!

governorkeagan OP ,

I’m loving it for that!

governorkeagan OP ,

Unfortunately it’s not available on iOS, I’d love to have tried it though! It looks fantastic

governorkeagan ,

PopOS is fantastic!

governorkeagan ,

Magic Earth is really nice as well.

governorkeagan ,

I can’t wait for these changes to go live on TILvids.com

Thank you for all the hard work!!

governorkeagan ,

Same!

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...

governorkeagan ,

Adding to what has already been said. It can help to differentiate when you use multiple OS’s but end up using one more than the rest.

governorkeagan ,

I didn’t know about that. I’ll have to give it a try, I hate trying to write Portuguese on my PC because I can’t use the accents

governorkeagan ,

Has anyone used Vanilla OS here? It seems really interesting, would like to get some opinions.

governorkeagan ,

Interesting. I might give it a go in a VM. I’m also waiting for the new DE from Pop!_OS, too may options lol

governorkeagan ,

I’ve been A/B testing Chrome and Firefox at work since we’ve had it drilled into us that we absolutely have to use Chrome. I haven’t had a single issue with Firefox, even with internal web apps. Your mileage may vary though.

governorkeagan ,

True. Having said that in the majority of workplaces you can still download another browser if you wanted. If Firefox works just as well as chrome, why not use it.

governorkeagan ,

I completely understand you. My previous company had an incredibly strict IT policy, they blocked all downloads on their devices so you’d need an administrator to download anything for you.

I’ve heard of stories with internet explorer. I know a lot of web apps built for labs only work on Internet Explorer, they just never update them to work with anything else.

Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

I’ve been daily driving Linux for 17 months now (currently on Linux Mint). I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager. I’ve tried Debian as a distro to try to challenge myself, but have always ran into issues. On my PC, I could...

governorkeagan ,

It would be the OS (in this context) that you use most often on a daily basis. When the OP logs onto their computer, they would be using Linux as opposed to Windows.

governorkeagan ,

I wouldn’t mind a 4 day work week. IMO, it’s a better balance

governorkeagan ,

I’ve done the same in the past, it feels weird going back to 5 days

governorkeagan ,

What sucks about the game? Having to use the Rockstar launcher is a pain but imo the game is brilliant.

governorkeagan ,

To each their own. Thanks for the detailed response!

governorkeagan ,

It was frightening to watch that happen live. So many people were unable to get home after work because of the rioting. There were claims that they did it for the woman and children, but I fail to see how they helped anyone but themselves.

governorkeagan ,

Ads have become so intrusive, and have made using the internet a nightmare.

This video does a nice job at explaining the ad-based internet we face at the moment: tilvids.com/w/99oSPPBJb3tkdVLc3fsSe5

governorkeagan ,

I’ve been using Pop!_OS for about a month now and it’s been great! I only had one issue (completely my fault) which caused me to have a black screen upon login after a reboot.

Linux distribution for gaming and media centre.

Heya! I’m looking to install Linux for the first time on parts from my old pc builds to use as a media centre and multiplayer gaming system in my living room. Something with as clean as possible interface with room for customization would be cool. Oh and support for my old nvidia gpu....

governorkeagan ,

I’ve had the same experience with gaming in PopOS

governorkeagan OP ,

It’s quite sad that this is the case.

governorkeagan OP ,

I remember from my time spent there that a lot of time was spent on the green one. I was taken aback by how much time it was, but it also makes sense when you consider that a lot of business is also done through that app

governorkeagan OP ,

That was an interesting read, thank you

governorkeagan OP ,

I noticed it the most with my colleagues/friends who are Brazilian. It sparked my curiosity so I asked. I mentioned in my post that my sample size is small (in the grand scheme of things) and my data might be skewed.

No. I was curious and asked a question. My question was more related to how often these things happen and for how long.

governorkeagan OP ,

Why? IMO, if someone can’t go 20 seconds without needing to doom scroll, that’s sad.

governorkeagan OP ,

Again, from my experience, it’s been doom scrolling. That is not going to be the case for everyone though.

governorkeagan ,

Pop!_OS has been great for me.

governorkeagan ,

I’m loving Pop!_OS, would love to get one of their laptops as well but the shipping fee is insane

governorkeagan ,

I was looking at getting a laptop from System76 but the shipping to Europe is insane. I’ve heard some good things about Tuxedo Computers. I don’t have personal experience with any of them so can’t comment on that

governorkeagan ,

Same here — at least all of the communities I’ve interacted with

Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy?

Like others, I came over when Reddit was banning 3rd party apps. Many communities were being started and I wanted to help. So I chose one community to form here and try and grow. And we did! There was a time a short while in the little KC Chiefs community was in the top 100 communities on Lemmy world. I knew that wouldn’t last...

governorkeagan ,

I really like that idea!

governorkeagan ,

I really like the mastodon suggestion, thank you!

governorkeagan OP ,

I’ve been using nvtop as

governorkeagan OP ,

I’ve been using nvtop but I’ll have a look at nvitop as well. Thank you!

governorkeagan ,

Why not do both? Cord into the PC coming from the front and another from the back

governorkeagan ,

I’m paying €44 a month for mobile broadband in Ireland 🥲

I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

governorkeagan ,

I’m loving these suggestions, definitely saving the post for later!
