Check the first rule

What’s this got to with Linux?

Unsupported device, but seems to still be working

Capitalism?

I’ve used Linux exclusively for 10+ years and dualbooted long before that, and I just now learned about that flow.

If you need a cheap laptop, better buy a used one than new. My ThinkPad t480 is still running perfectly fine, you just can’t play games on it.

You don’t mind that each snap you install is further slowing down boot times?

Inb4 “But it’s easier for people to join, everyone has discord”

If someone can’t take 2 minutes to register to a forum/Lemmy/whatever they’re not going to give any good contributions to your community… Those are the same lazy bastards that create a post instead of literally googling their title and getting the answers immediately.

Discord, lol… At least use matrix if you’re going down the road of suboptimal communication.

I can use VM maybe but I don’t want to pay for the Windows license.

It’s free?

I’ve seen some pretty cool stuff done with ewww

To me it sounds like Shuah is trying to prove his position has a value while also being on this level of a power trip

They have frequent releases that introduce features and bugs, and then they squash them every week.

A stable distro like Debian will only update KDE once every ~2 years. If the version they use is full of bugs, you’re stuck with it.

On the other hand you’ve got a DE like xfce that gets a release every few years, and the Devs make sure it’s as reliable as possible to fit that stable release schedule.

I just feel like they wanted to do arch, but pacman -Syu was too awkward

KDE no doubt. GNOME is a minimalist that depends on extensions to provide basic functionality, while also being a giant fatass. KDE works from the install, provides a sensible workflow, and has better tools.

But I’d only use KDE on a rolling release or a 6 month release schedule distro. Their approach to development really doesn’t suit stable ones.

I said they’re the new IE for a reason.

The w3c standard: ok so we all agreed that this feature will be placed in the body tag

Blink: ofc, that’s what I’ve been telling you

Gecko: sure, idc

WebKit: yeah nah, put it in the html

So many little senseless gotchas like that that exist for no reason that to be iSpecial

I mean the title should be “… time to move to the other browser”.

Safari is the new IE with extra iCrap on top.

Random browsers usually use one of the 3 web engines, but without browser polish, or functionalities like a working adblock. Those that don’t are just someone’s toys.

So the only real option is Firefox, and the Mozilla foundation lost 80+% of their funding because they can’t get the Google money anymore. Maybe they’ll start actually funding FF instead of some BS humanitarian work that I can bet was primarily lining their pockets…

Try it out maybe? You’re not buying a car… There’s not much point going around and asking if you spend 20 mins trying it out and realise you don’t want to use a 5 year old DE.

Basically expect the system will change only when you update to a new version, and that you’ll need to use external PMs like flatpak or nix for all user packages if you plan on doing anything more advanced than browsing and office work.

Wait till you find out about fzf

MX (Debian + Nvidia + tools to make use easier).

Debian: Release cadance seems too slow for my preference.

Install OBS and other software from flatpak
