  • do you miss anything from windows?

    Jump

  • I'm getting used to Inkscape, but as much as I do not like Adobe as a company, I do miss Illustrator. My workflow speed has taken a bit of a hit, but overall, with all other things Linux vs Windows considered, I have no regrets on switching to Linux completely.

  • Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

    Jump

  • Sorta..

    I've got 4x raspberry pis at my coffee house running things like digital signs and a soundboard. So PiSignage and PiOS. 2x laptops and 1x desktop running CachyOS. Then the steam deck running stock.

  • Is it WW3 yet?

  • GrapheneOS and Motorola partnership for next privacy-protecting phone

  • I love my razr 2024, but I've been patiently waiting for graphene to support a decent non-google phone. Looks like I'm about to get the best of both worlds!

  • How often do you update your system?

    Jump

  • To be honest, it's just what I've been using since I switched to Cachy half a year ago. There was no conscious decision made between yay or paru.

    I think Go and Rust are both great languages, but there are apparently some speed benefits from using rust/paru. That's not anything I can factually confirm, just what I've heard.

  • Heck yeah! I hope it helps simplify things!

    This might be the first time my limited Linux knowledge has been helpful to an internet stranger. Feels good.

  • Does paru -Syu not also include pacman, or do you just prefer to do pacman first?

  • "Our team focuses on Linux for many ASUS hardware..."

    I wish ASUS would focus on their hardware, too.

  • it's a simple question

  • It's a bucket list item to someday have a pull request merged into a branch of the Linux kernel.

  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

  • ..if this works for my use-case I'm going to kiss your feet.

  • Linux hobbiest for a couple decades, began daily driving a couple months ago. My workflows for graphic design have been extremely stunted without being able to use Illustrator.

    I've been looking for a reasonable replacement since 2012. Reasonable meaning it can do everything I need it to do and without slowing down productivity. So, this pain point didn't come as a surprise, it just is.

    It's a tradeoff I made willingly and with full knowledge of the ramifications. I have zero regrets, even if I'm handicapped on certain tasks.

    Now that I'm daily driving, I've been able to learn much more than when I just had Linux on my gaming box. For instance, I friggin love how expandable Dolphin is. Batch resize and convert images with a couple clicks from a file browser? Hell yeah!

    The terminal has also become a closer friend, but I still hate VIM. :p

  • Maybe it's a silly question, but would using a VPN, like Mullvad, in conjunction with TOR make it even more secure, or is that just redundant?

  • Are you now avoiding all computers, including Lenovo, or retracting/clarifying your initial statement?

    To me, a computer is a tool. In this modern age, we don't stand a chance of fighting without these tools. Take the sword from your enemy and stab him with it.

    Lenovo is a good tool.

    Except their bloatware POS tablet.
