Funny that the printer was the thing that cemented the shift. Ive either been really lucky or linux is much better than windows for printers

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

pruneaue ,

People dont hate on ubuntu cause its inherently bad. They hate on it because its a corporate distro and they do some questionable stuff sometimes. The OS runs fine.

Why not debian unstable? Its better than ubuntu in pretty much every way imo. Somewhat less user friendly i guess.

pruneaue ,

Unstable is pretty damn stable, feels arch-y to me, and arch rarely has issues. If there are issues they’re fixed fast.
Testing is the middle ground. Tested for a bit by unstable peeps but thats it.

pruneaue ,

As the other reply said, Fedora and RHEL harbor the same problem as Ubuntu in terms of corporate backing.
They’re all as stable at it gets when it comes to linux distros; all those “server distributions”.

I guess people recommend debian because that’s what they know. It’s got the biggest community, so the most support.
Nothing against Rocky, but i wont recommend it if i’ve never used it.

pruneaue ,

Havent installed debian with a desktop environment in a long time. If its still default then its just that, default… meaning you could change it

pruneaue ,

Thats fair. I’ve jumped that ship a while back.
I checked and they seem to use wayland by default on gnome at least

pruneaue ,

The standard is to have dotfiles in your ~/.config folder, however not all apps follow that.
Some apps dump their config files in your home, others only have files in /etc or /usr and you have to copy them yourself to modify them

pruneaue ,

I do this with games. A lot of games dont even really get a demo anymore. So its gambling to buy it…
I pirate the games and if i like it i buy it. Generally ill keep playing the pirated version unless it has a multiplayer i want to play as well.

You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose?

You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.

If you go further back in time you can get back to fairly queer friendly societies

When am i not under the influence?

The “annoyances” filters in ublock stop the cookie popups

pruneaue ,

Nixos.
The ability to have my whole system in a git repo is what i have been looking for when i did not know it.
Steep freaking curve though and the documentation kinda blows. But its the distro ive spent the longest on apart from Arch, and i feel quote at home even though most stuff is done differently.

I did some research on guix when i was deciding which one of the two i was going to try as a daily driver.
My conclusion was that choosing guix would mean choosing a smaller community and amount of support for a better language.

Would love your opinion if youve done your research on it. Why choose guix over nixos?

pruneaue ,

Thank you for the reply :)

pruneaue ,

That sort of thing is another great reason to love nix.

How much do I actually lose with a cutsom ROM?

I have a Pixel 7, stock Android 14. It is my only phone and I love the stock system. But I am trying to gradually ditch Google and its services, for reasons well-known in this community and Lemmy in general. How much would I gain/lose using a custom ROM with/without GApps?...

pruneaue ,

My experiences come from using Calyx for a couple years in the past and I’ve been using Graphene for a few years as well now.

You lose a couple of things. The main ones have already been mentioned by others (GPay and Android Auto). Theres some other stuff you might miss. Now Playing doesnt work, AI camera features, weather on lock screen, etc.
Most of the stuff you might miss are annoyances, and some can be worked around fully with other apps. Nothing too major. With microG or Sandboxed google play, none of the apps i want/need to use are broken. That wasnt the case even a few years ago on microG, but things have gotten a lot better.

pruneaue ,

I believe so, yes. From my understanding, google blocks custom roms from being able to use the service.

I’ve heard before that with root you can spoof it, but its not easy or convenient.

Soulseek to get the music, Musicbrainz Picard to standardize the formatting and fix metadata if it isnt already there

Is there such a thing as a privacy-respecting secret Santa platform?

I’ve been doing secret Santa with my family the last few years, but the webapps we use are always so annoying to use. You get an email every time your giftee updates their list or answers a question, but you need to sign in to the ad-riddled platform to see what is going on. You can make a wishlist, but only through links to...

What do you think about this? (www.youtube.com)

Since i see so much linux talk on lemmy i got curious and watched a video about the common distros. How true is the information in this video? The person hardly describes why debian and arch are just better than every other distro. At least i’m definitely now curious about Mint or something for gaming.

pruneaue ,

In my opinion what hes saying is true, but has to be taken with a grain of salt. The choice of the word “pointless” is a little harsh but i understand what he means. They are only derivatives that dont accomplish anything that the distro they forked cant accomplish, ergo they are useless because you could make Ubuntu on debian.
As for why debian and arch are the best, they are the two most well established community maintained distros. That means they have the most people working on them, the most support out there on the internet when you encounter issues, they tend to be the most stable, AND they have no corporate backing which can be seen as “evil” by some people (like Chris in this video).

pruneaue ,

Ah yes, “prevent”…

pruneaue ,

People are right on here, losing weight can make your feet skinnier.
However the fact that you walk barefoot is what caught my attention. Im a barefoot runner, and your feet’s arch becomes more pronounced as you train like that. I assume walking would lead to the same results. So yeah, being barefoot all the time does make your feet smaller, and starting to wear shoes again all the time would make that arch go away over time

pruneaue ,

I mainly agree with you, i have enough of 128gb. But i know a lot of people that take a ton of pictures and struggle with storage space

pruneaue ,

Im due for an upgrade and was waiting for this since they announced 7 years of security updates (makes it such a better value than a used 7).
Any of you guys have experience with black friday sales on pixels? I researched a little, and it seems i wouldnt be saving much more than by selling the free buds that come with it rn.
Also damn google theyre offering $55CAD for my 4a 5G

The article by LeDevoir seems to be saying that the 1.5C will be reached by 2034. Still bad, but we have not reached the 1.5C yet

pruneaue ,

Buying stuff from streamers is actually kind of big in China rn. Think of it like the old as seen on tv ads channels on cable, but now its influencers marketing products on tiktok

pruneaue ,

Florisboard also has gesture typing, however i rarely use it. I find i make a lot more mistakes than i did swipe typing with gboard

pruneaue ,

Used to be a bar person, but at some point it broke on the custom ROM im running for a few updates so i switched. Been using gestures ever since. I like them maybe a lil less because phones are too big, but it feels faster

pruneaue ,

Being a beginner distro doesnt make mint any less linuxy. Its probably the gest recommendation to convert people over from windows
