  • Fedora

    Jump

  • I distro hopped. i mainly used pop, but I had poor performance with gnome so I started hopping again. And after using arch and opensuse, but after several updates causing issues, I moved to Fedora mainly to try atomic distros. After loving Kinoite and bazzite, I put fedora KDE on my main machine and I don't see myself leaving.

  • How do you handle family requests that you disagree with?

    Jump

  • I disagree with my mah and old man a lot. But, when I was having hard times as a kid, giving them headaches and heartaches, and when I struggled as an adult they were there to tell me they loved me, hug me, feed me regardless of what I believed. They have always loved me unconditionally.

    If it ain't illegal. I'll host it for them, no questions asked. If I ever needed anything, those are two people I know will be there every time, without fail. It's the least I can do to try and pay them back, even if I know I never could.

  • (Read before Comment) Why you don't like GIMP UI?

    Jump

  • I'm confused. My post is about my experience with GIMP. What does Krita have to do with what I posted?

  • That's correct. But I don't remember if I said it would or not.

  • The toxicity is awful. I tried to learn once since I had a buddy that loved the game and I was looking for a game to dump some hours in. This was about 10 years ago or so. My buddy told me he would help teach me the game so I could at least understand what people were saying. It took him one game to start trashing my playing. I fucked off of that game and never played again.

    I do not understand how anyone continues to stay in a toxic fanbase even if they really love the game.

  • I can never put my finger on why I don't stick with GIMP. I install it on every machine I own, and occasionally use it to open a file and export to another file format.

    From time to time, I tell myself I will finally sit down and just only use GIMP. Finally learn the tool. Envitably I find myself googling to find every tool, and then I will come across something simple, like making a red rectangle, and I end up having to google how to do it, and then get frustrated that I can't just draw a box and quit.

    There are probably legit reasons for the decisions, but if it kills my workflow, I can't afford to use it.

  • Canonical and Qualcomm Collaborate to Bring Ubuntu to Qualcomm Devices

  • I will keep an eye on that. But that is good info to have. I appreciate it!

  • That's a fair point.

  • I think Linux phones would be super cool. And I dream one day it will become a properly usable reality. But what I really want is a properly supported, powerful ARM based laptop. Something approaching apple M series performance with the same kind of battery life. If Ubuntu can nail that, or another distro like asahi Linux, I will be happy with that and using graphene OS.

  • Testing request: Fedora 40 on NVIDIA RTX 3000 series GPUs

    Jump

  • Wish I could help. Unfortunately the newest cards I have is a laptop 2080, and a desktop 1080ti. Once I can upgrade (likely never at this point) I will be moving to team red.

  • Your first distribution

    Jump

  • Ubuntu 11 netbook remix. Currently on Fedora Onyx on my laptop and Kinoite on Desktop.

  • Deleted

    Switched to Linux and I think I'm going back to Windows.

    Jump

  • Sounds like you prefer windows. If you do not have any moral conundrum around using it, go back. Makes no sense to use an OS on your computer that you do not prefer.

    I love Linux, sometimes I have issues, but for the work I do it is much easier to do on Linux than on windows. Also I have some moral qualms with Windows and Microsoft and I would rather have a broken machine than one with Windows.

    If that is not you, then I would just use what you like.

  • Which new laptop under $300 with upgradeable parts should I be looking at?

    Jump

  • The thinkpad t480 for more modern feeling. A t470 for some more upgradeability. I also like the x270 for a smaller 12.5 inch screen and I think you can find all of these under 300.

  • Fedora 41 will drop GNOME's X11 session

  • That's my bad. I missed the word new. Skimmed right over it.

  • Shit, my bad. Totally skimmed that word.

  • I am currently in F39 Wayland with proprietary nVidia drivers and I have not experienced any issues. (Laptop Quadro P3200)

    Edit: this was a useless comment. OP specified new, my laptop is an old boy.

  • My experience using Fedora Atomic (Budgie) for a month or two.

  • I appreciate the info! I will check it out and see if I can get those config files.

  • I've used some atomic distros. They were fine. I use a lot of docker containers at work, and graphene os on my phone, so the idea of working around sandboxing on my main OS seems like such a good idea. I used to run pop OS but my last install had terrible performance, then I moved to openSUSE which ended up breaking on me when I loaded it up after putting my kids to bed and wanted to work on a personal project for the first time in weeks. So I decided to move to Fedora after hearing some decent things about. The atomic distros seem to be my jam. (I've tried arch in the past, didn't get the hype, had it break on my way too often for my work requirements. )

    However, I have been lazy recently due to tons of stuff to do at work, that I didn't really look into using an atomic distro. After the install, I went to install my VPN software and latte dock and it wouldn't work due to making some folders in a part of the OS that was immutable. I didn't have the energy to figure out what the fix was, so I just nuked it and went to Fedora KDE, which has been fine. But now reading your post about toolbox, I feel like I need to do some more research.

  • How often do you contribute to open source projects?

  • The opportunity to expand my skill set, while still doing some infrastructure and DevOps presented itself, so I took it. It's been a challenge. It's a different thought process, but I enjoy being uncomfortable and I enjoy being the noob in the group. I enjoy the process of going from noob to expert.
