…explain? It literally has Flatpak as first-class support, i.e. it’s guaranteed and only guaranteed to work on Flatpak

Was he supposed to start with a higher skill level or something? That’s like the “just be born richer” attitude of tech

Lots of people simply don’t know.

Source: I filed bug reports to Fcitx when I first installed Debian, because I didn’t realize Debian shipped packages from the before the stone ages

As someone who loves the old designs (I’ve run Chicago95 for years now), the only thing stopping me from running CDE is it lacks first-class support from any distro I’ve used

What am I looking at (besides a generic neofetch on hardware that can’t load Google.com)

Krita > Gimp gang

The last interviews I wrote the job posting for and conducted, I made it clear we give you a GPT4 subscription for the job so I expect you to demonstrate your ability to use it as a tool during the interview

Obligatory --no-preserve-root

Step 1. Install the most secure, pure, minimalist Linux distro

Step 2. Get frustrated at the complications

Step 3. Give up and go back to Windows

• a story I’ve seen happen more than once

MacOS updates* have never broke my Asahi

*May have to do with the fact I haven’t booted into MacOS since installing Asahi

That’s why Gentoo now has binary repos!

Dependency hell happens when you try to go against your distro and install something. Someone who used Linux for 20 years probably found a distro that works well for them, hence the no dependency hell.

Or they just stopped tinkering. Either case is solvable by Nix/Flatpak/Bedrock/20+ other solutions

insert bellcurve IQ meme about Ubuntu users at the low and high end, with Arch users in the middle

I use Arch, btw

I’ve got a System76 Pangolin. It’s ok for the price (a bit pricey).I’m going with frame.work next though - while frame.work is even pricier, the upgradability is to die for.

If you explicitly add site:ourforum or quotes around large blocks of text, our forum does show up, but to appear anywhere near the front page naturally is a full-time job and not something we have the resources to dedicate.

I think, unfortunately, things like GitHub discussions are the best place for users to find things off Google, but at the end of the day you’re still trusting a profit driven proprietary company

Amongst many other reasons, my biggest is it’s not searchable by search engines.

That’s why we made forum.2009scape.org for our project. Yet the SEO is so bad that nobody finds anything we put there anyways.

Carelessly running too many programs and not having much RAM.

When I get my Framework 16, I’ll either get 64 or 128GBs of RAM. It’s so cheap nowadays, the only thing stopping me from getting more is simply the increased time to go to sleep and wake up.

100% RAM is a huge pain on Linux. I have a widget in my taskbar that always shows my RAM usage so I can tell if I’m about to get doinked

I never liked the CLI, which is probably why I couldn’t switch to MacOS after using Linux. My god is MacOS UI “weak” on customization for power users

Is GitHub wiki still garbage or did they make it easy for anyone to contribute to?
