  • Idk most teams I've worked with have either known better than to deploy anything at EOD or on a friday, or make heavy use of feature flags so any change that caused an issue just got swiftly rolled back. The ones that didn't, I made it ABUNDANTLY clear that I won't be available outside of work hours.

    Maybe I haven't been around the block enough or maybe I got lucky...

  • I'd say I'm even weirder than that squad in that I watch anime dubbed but always do original audio + subs if it's live action.

  • Hi, I want to install Linux along side Win 10.

    Jump

  • If you ever try dual booting again, just wanted to say it works much better if you have linux and windows on separate drives because windows gets to do whatever it wants on its own bootloader while linux handles everything else including switching to windows. Familiar with acer nitro laptops myself and 1050ti with i7 I assume means it's the older model with the hdd bay you can get to without disassembling. Should be simple enough to plop a 500GB SATA SSD in there for windows if you don't have one already.

    P.S. be very careful with the hinges on that laptop bc it ain't fun when they break

  • Would you retire at 30 and live frugally?

  • That's the dream! Travel a ton, learn languages, work on just the stuff you care about...I hope to be able to do that someday!

  • Wha? That's a dangerous mindset to teach. The last thing you want is to add network latency to every interaction or tether an app to the internet when it doesn't really need it (but I guess big tech didn't get the memo on that one).

  • Probably skill issue on my end tbh but here goes:

    I'll admit I've never tried GTK. I've always assumed it was specific to linux and used to make apps that look a certain way (like they were made for gnome) vs allowing you to make UIs the way you want to. Maybe I should look into this more.

    Qt I'd say is "industry standard" but I've never been able to figure it out (so definitely skill issue here). It's just that every time I've tried it, it's been confusing where you're even supposed to start. Also the last time I tried it I was a bit lost because I assume that I'm supposed to use Qt 6 (?) but it requires me to create an account because there's a whole community/enterprise pricing thing (fair enough, nobody's entitled to OSS work, especially not billion/trillion dollar companies). I plan to look again but that's where I've been stuck so far.

    I hate shipping chromium for every single app and it's easy to fuck up a react app but there's something to be said about cutting through the BS, just building, and having it work the same everywhere. Webapps won't perform as well as native but they will perform well enough that it's fine assuming the product owners give a shit.

    Still learning but this has been my sentiment so far.

    Edit:Been playing around with iced.rs a bit and it looks promising but I haven't done anything past beginner stuff so no fully formed opinions yet.

  • This makes me sad. I get using electron for cross-platform stuff like VSCode or all the other examples (trying to do desktop apps with decent looking UIs that work across Linux/Windows/Mac is a nightmare) but the clock that only works on windows? WPF and/or WinUI ARE RIGHT FUCKING THERE WHAT THE HELL?!

    THEY'RE YOUR FUCKING PRODUCTS, MICROSOFT!!!

  • I swear, every time I hear about Bazzite I'm tempted to switch. Seems like Fedora with but with the rough edges sanded down

  • Huh, now that you mention it, I think I've had that happen a couple of times with my old laptop running fedora (Atheros chip). A simple restart would sort it out and it didn't happen often enough that it was front of mind but it was definitely a thing. I haven't had any issues with my current laptop (Intel chip) so it may well be a driver issue.

  • That's weird, I've never had that happen before but threads about that specifically were all I could find when researching my particular issue. I think it ended up being a power saving issue, I'll link if I can find it. Hopefully it helps

  • Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface

  • Most of these are great but I wanna point out some of the ones I don't agree with

    • I've found that the elbow grease bit is gonna be a dealbreaker for 90% of Windows users even when they hate windows. I hate it but that's the truth
    • Nvidia is much better than it used to be but it's still a PITA unless you use a gaming distro or one that comes with proprietary drivers preinstalled and properly configured (even for someone already very comfortable with linux). This is important if you want Wayland to work correctly or need optimus on laptops. Furthermore, and this is laptop-specific, KDE Plasma is gonna have low FPS on secondary monitors or drain tf out of your battery by defaulting to dedicated graphics if your config is wrong (and it's wrong by default on laptops)
    • Switching desktop environments is a massive PITA so choosing the one you like first time is important.

  • Been a minute since I set it up but I use a seperare metadata provider for anime and it's just easier to keep separate in that scenario. You can still group libraries together to show up as one in the UI so I have a "TV Shows" library group that contains everything from both "Series" and "Anime"
