  • Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?

    Jump

  • I guess I could have taken solving the depencies for granted. I've built and installed it on both Arch and Fedora but obviously those repos would be more up to date.

  • Hyprland is surprisingly easy to build/install from source.

  • I think they actively want WW3 so they can play out their end-times-left-behind fantasies they've been nursing for the last 20 years. What are all their ammo hoards for if they don't get to use them?

  • When Google Reader shut down, Feedly had an "import from Google" feature on their sign up page. Been using it for free ever since.

  • Switched from Ubuntu to Debian yesterday

    Jump

  • It also uses the Red Hat RPM package format and a different package manager. But it just amounts to a few different commands to learn if you manage packages on the command line.

  • "Must Try" distros and DEs?

    Jump

  • Agreed, it really makes me excited to use my PC.

  • "Must Try" distros and DEs?

    Jump

  • Recently there supposedly have been nVidia improvements and success stories. Check the Hyprland wiki to see if it makes sense for you to try. Or is it only the 2000 series and above that have benefitted from Wayland driver improvements?

  • Hyprland DE is the new hotness

  • Reddit API blew up and now I run Linux?

  • Which terminal emulator do you use?

    Jump

  • I don't know the difference between a terminal and a terminal emulator, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

    Lately using Foot since that's what my distro shipped with.

  • Questions about switching to Linux

    Jump
    1. The only other things that stick out to me are distro philosophy and release schedule. Like, do you want a completely community oriented distro, a corporate one, one with LTS-style releases, or rolling releases? These things may or may not make a difference.
    2. The best way imo is to install Ventoy to a USB drive, then load it up with ISOs from distros you are interested in. Then you can boot into their live sessions and test drive them. But ultimately, you can almost always get Linux software running on any distro. The differences are whether a distro comes with something out of the box, or if it even has your desired apps in its official repos.
    3. btop, Steam, Discord, Firefox. These are all available on all distros. Things like the file system browser - I don't care as much and just use what the distro provides by default.
    4. Run a package update then install whatever other apps you want. For me, also set up auto mount of a couple network drives provided by my NAS.
    5. You should not be concerned about this unless you are building things from source.
    6. Probably... I used and gamed on Kubuntu for 2 years and had an excellent experience.

  • Insurance deserts, where private-sector companies no longer will sell regular home-insurance policies, are already developing in high-risk areas

    Jump

  • "We can’t afford to use shareholder money…to support an underpriced product."

    I made a claim to replace a door on one of my vehicles and my insurance premium went up for an amount and time that, when I did the math, came out to the amount they paid out for the claim. WTF is the point of all this other money I've been paying you for years if you're just going to recoup your "loss" by temporarily raising my rates?

  • Experience with KDE on Fedora?

    Jump

  • I have no knowledge about or experience with immutable distros, but I've been maining the Fedora KDE spin on my laptop for several major releases now and so far have found no reason to switch away from it. The Plasma Wayland session has been solid from the beginning and everything has just worked.

  • Dwarf Fortress on Steam now officially available for Linux

    Jump

  • I bought the Steam release day 1 and it has worked great with Proton. I played a couple forts and had my fill. Now that the Linux version is out I might have to run another fort on it and see how it works.
