  • LTT does another Linux Challenge

    Jump

  • I feel like Ubuntu used to be the sort of default "new user" distro, but they keep going off on these weird tangents so that doesn't really work anymore. Then it felt like PopOS might have been the new one, but now they're mid-way between transitioning to COSMIC so that's not really a good fit either. I think maybe Mint is the default one now, but also Cinnamon is kind of it's own thing so it doesn't set a new user up well for becoming familiar with the more universally used DE's like Gnome or Plasma.

    I think Fedora and Debian are also a decent fit for new users, but that's also not a very exciting answer so that's probably why it doesn't come up as much lol.

  • I'm not sure if CachyOS counts as a "gaming" distro or not, but I use that on my desktop/work machine. I'm pretty familiar with Arch (BTW) and I can do a manual setup from scratch if I need to (that's what my laptop runs) but Cachy just seemed like a way to use Arch with a simple setup and a bunch of default optimizations. So tl;dr laziness I guess lol.

  • What's the browser(s) you use?

  • I use Floorp too. It's a weird little browser but I like it

  • What would you do if our civilization regressed to the Neolithic age due to resource depletion due to global collapse?

    Jump

  • Yeah that's always been my assumption. My retirement plan is essentially to just be eaten by cannibals within about 24 hours of everything going full Mad Max.

  • Have you ever traveled solo? How was your experience?

    Jump

  • I have! One of the nice things is that you can do whatever you want without having to round people up or get a consensus on everything, IE: you can just go out and wander about, and if you see a weird restaurant you're curious about you can just go right in and check it out. In a group it's always like: that place looks interesting but A isn't hungry and B is allergic to peanuts and what is there's no vegan option for C, maybe a couple of us can go tomorrow and have a look and then you never do. The downside is you don't get to reminisce about it with your friends later on, and any stories that happen don't really mean anything to anyone else you tell them to.

  • Meta Workers Say They're Seeing Disturbing Things Through Users' Smart Glasses

    Jump

  • I know this is off-topic, but Kathryn Bigelow is just an under-rated director in general I think. So many bangers. Also from a quick search I just found out she had a new movie out last year that stars Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson and Jared Harris? Somehow I missed that entirely.

  • I don't think even George Orwell could have predicted that one day they'd put the cameras inside glasses, it would be common knowledge that they're in there and the they're spying on you and everyone you look at, and people would still voluntarily buy them with their own money and wear them around.

  • Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops

    Jump

  • Yeah the Superfish incident. AFAIK they haven't done anything sketchy since then and if you're the type to just wipe everything and install your own distro anyway it shouldn't really affect anything but still not a great look.

  • Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops

    Jump

  • Yeah I like Lenovo in general too! I have an Ideapad rather than a Thinkpad, but this is my second Lenovo and they've both lasted for ages, never had any weird problems, played nice with Linux etc.

  • nothing really matters

  • I don't even know what blast my microwave is at. I just put stuff in it, run for 45 seconds, if it's not hot when it comes out = another 45 seconds. Repeat until food

  • I had a very niche problem on Fedora once that I was personally unable to solve, therefore the entire project is trash and everyone should use CachyOS which I haven't managed to break yet!

  • On the unfortunate need for an "age verification" API for legal compliance reasons in some U.S. states

    Jump

  • As a European living in Canada, it's quite annoying to think about having to do extra stuff (even if it is very minimal) because one state in America passes a stupid law.

  • According to etymonline, it's from the French estandart meaning a military banner, or from the Medieval Latin standardum. These in turn possibly come from the old Frankish standhard, so literally to stand hard like a flag or a long-standing tradition.

  • What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?

    Jump

  • I went with .ml because (IIRC, I might be wrong) that was the instance that the people who made Lemmy used. I'm not wild about how .ml censors some words but it doesn't bother me enough to change.
