Why is everyone hating Discord? It’s pretty neat platform when all the features used properly.

And features 😅

Honestly I just love that Plasma closely resembles the Windows 10/11 UI. Not that I like Windows, but because I have to deal with Windows from time to time.

Switching between Gnome UI and Windows 10/11 UI requires an effort to me. Switching betweek Plasma and Windows - almost no difference.

Plasma is fucking great!

I am so happy that my parents didn’t buy me a better laptop a decade ago, so I was forced to use a shitty thinkpad laptop. After reading online, I figured out that Linux makes it faster…

What’s your story? :)

Then find sysadmin/devops/sre/younameit job 😅

Try to browse Lemmy without finding anything about Linux 😅

journalctl

I’m in!

On X I can do everything, on Wayland I can’t:

1. Enable hardware acceleration in some apps
2. Games have greater latency
3. Some games shadowing under wayland
4. Nvidia sometimes crashes. Their “nvidia-open” driver doesn’t work with Wayland at all

Depends. Whatever choice you pick - go with Plasma (KDE) desktop. Most of below choices have alternative desktop flavors that offer Plasma instead of Gnome.

If your goal is to play games - something like Bazzite might work.

If your goal is to have a desktop experience with some gaming, something like NobaraOS or PopOS would work.

If your goal is only desktop experience - ubuntu will work.

If your goal is to learn and have super awesome Linux desktop - Arch Linux.

Personally I am in Arch Linux for the past decade. Tried many different ones and Arch Linux is the only one that simply “just works” for me. Not suitable for beginners.

Arrrrr 😅😅😅

Before that you have to download it. Well, using p2p mechanisms.

Best use-case of AWK is that you can avoid using grep for picking a Nth word in specific line. I tend to ask GPT4 to write one-liner for me. Works super great.

If Steam could just ban 3rd party launchers in Steam - that would be great.

Need to login to rockstar/uplay/gog/EA account? Do it in-game…

😂😂🙆😅

In Lemmy people are not aware that GitHub is not just git server with lots of code. :)

Share a model please 😅

It’s probably called Frigate of what you are after. Just not sure about being able to speak back (it’s doorbell camera after all).

One of my servers said “Connection refused”. That’s so unreasonable!

Focus learning on how to install Arch Linux and use it without breaking. This not just gives you a rock-stable distro, but also the required knowledge on to maintain Linux OS.

Or go with “Ubuntu” level of easiness. You choose. :)

I’ve been considering installing Arch the traditional way, on my X220, as a way to force myself to improve. Is this a good way to learn more about Linux and a Linux system in general?

Oh yes, that’s exactly how I learnt. Also I have 1000+ edits in Arch Wiki, but stopped contributing to it (as well as AUR) few years ago.
