Linux@lemmy.ml•First time - which distro is best for me?
21·4 months agoFor your mentioned use cases, any distribution would do.
In fact, any answer for your question would be anecdotal, and here’s mine: Debian if this isn’t your first rodeo, and Ubuntu Server if it is.
Heck, just play around with Ubuntu Server and then go to Debian.
Moreover, you may ask this question on !selfhosted@lemmy.world for better insights.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•oh hey look i used my blender skills for memes again rule
3·4 months agoWould this make Steve Balmer a person who applies Steve’s Balm on themselves or on another person, or a person who makes Steve’s Balm?
Is the funny thing here the absurdity of the whole thing? Genuinely asking.
What a lovely coincidence.

There is nothing dumb-arse about learning new things. It is nice that you discovered Bazzite through your own research.
Enjoy the new OS and let us know your thoughts after your first run.
I love it when the game allows to continue after getting caught. Arkham series, Far Cry series and Ghost of Tsushima come to mind.
Then there are games like Assassin’s Creed (made by the same company as Far Cry) which fails the entire mission upon getting caught just to stay true to its name.

Linux@lemmy.ml•The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues
2·5 months agoHehe… top notch screen.
I agree with everything you said, and I use a MacBook Pro for the same reasons. I made a similar comment but you have articulated the points much better.

Linux@lemmy.ml•The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues
10·5 months agoThere is no perfect laptop as it is a subjective choice.
I got a MacBook Pro which is the one that ticks the most boxes for me. It is simply a well built and reliable piece of hardware with really nice battery life and performance.
Yes, Apple tries really hard to sink their machines with terrible software decisions and hostile repair policies. But that still does not undermine their machines build quality.
Also, this is trivial, but their website is simple and easy to use. They don’t bog one down with a slew of laptops that are hard to differentiate. I know what I am looking at, and what I will be getting.
The only other machines I own are ThinkPads. But Lenovo loses me whenever I get on their website. It is easier to look at an eBay listing for a second hand ThinkPad than to navigate and search their website for a new one. Also, their newer machines just aren’t as good as the older ones.
I say this as a user of an array of ThinkPads and ThinkCentres to quench my thirst for BSD (and sometimes Linux). I use these machines for writing, gaming, watching movies, and more. But I cannot depend on those machines for any critical or work-related tasks.
Framework laptops aren’t sold here so I have never used them. There is no point in importing one where the whole raison d’être is their modularity and repairability which requires their ecosystem to be present first.
P.S. Using Linux on M-series MacBooks
I have contemplated using Asahi Linux on the MacBook Pro, but I am sure I won’t get the best out of the machine especially w.r.t. battery life. Perhaps when the machine is no longer supported by Apple, I will experiment with it.
Regardless of whether it is truly superior (it isn’t, but neither is Cursor, if you think about it), it is actually more tedious to “cut and paste” the “source code file” and then paste back the output.
It is far simpler to just initiate a chat within Cursor, allowing it to identify all the files necessary for context alongside the one being viewed.
Is spoopy a typo or a slang people use? So spooky that it made one poop(y)?

Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Anon loves The Lord of the Rings
8·6 months agoThis could just be the specific pockets of interest you frequent or whatever the algorithms deem worthy (after all, memes have more engagement).
I have always seen memes and compliments over the past two decades or so. Of course, the memes were more widespread, while the compliments remained where discussions took place.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What common sayings are actually true?
3·6 months agoIndeed it is. :-)
Also, your comment made me realise that I mistyped asses in my original comment!
Going to leave it there for the sweet sweet irony. :D

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What common sayings are actually true?
6·6 months agoI am an ardent believer in it, given how many times it has saved our assets at work, often to the point of annoying people. That said, I usually end up being right for insisting on more time and/or data, so it’s all good.
However, my spoonerific brain always gets this twisted to “measure once, cut twice”.
I unknowingly wrote this once in a comment about asking for more metrics during a design review.
My colleague (the author of said design document) replied with the relevant metrics and a comment saying “measure never, cut forever”. :D

Wonderful. Thank you for the source artwork and the steps.
Beautiful.
Did you make the Ganesha artwork by yourself? Can you share the artwork?

Linux@lemmy.ml•If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?
5·9 months agoMATE has been on most of my machines, except the BSD ones.
But past year or so, I have grown a fondness towards ctwm, and gradually migrated my machines to it, Linux and BSD alike.
It is not a DE, but the fact that I have to assemble my suite of software myself on my machines, makes the point of using DEs moot.



I am fine with “when’s day” as long as we rename the following day as “then’s day” instead of “their’s day”.
