Hey! I’m currently on Fedora Workstation and I’m getting bored. Nothing in particular. I’ve heard about immutable distros and I’m thinking about Fedora Kinoite. The idea is interesting but idk if it’s worth it. CPU and GPU are AMD. Mostly used for gaming.
Edit: Tumbleweed is not immutable, you learn something new every day, especially from your mistakes 🙃 (it’s still a really nice distro)
Personally really happy with my choice of Immutable Distro: OpenSuse Tumbleweed. To me, who is half a year into using linux, its very convenient to use an immutable system as IF i were to do a wrong command or whatever its super easy to rollback the system (at least on Suse as it uses btrfs-filesystem). Another thing worth mentioning which is also why I chose to go with immutable is that it really teaches you “the good standards” of where to tinker with files and where not to, at least for a beginner like myself this is very nice.
Oh wow, won’t you look at that! 😅 Well that jsut shows my lack of experience I guess. I swear I heard it somewhere and just believed it was. Or maybe I misread and read that MicroOS and Aeon was, therefore assumed Tumbleweed was… My bad!
Hi. I’ve been using powerlevel10k for a long time, but a few days ago, I decided I wanted to customize it a bit. I opened the .p10k.zsh file, and I was shocked. It’s really massive, with TONS of options. I’ve been digging through for a few hours already, and it’s absolutely amazing how much you can customize it without...
I’m refurbishing an old PC to work as a home server for several stuff. I’m looking for a lightweight distribution to install in it, but with a decent package repository. A small image size will be appreciated, as I have slow bandwidth too.
Hi there, simply looking for alternatives to Canva. I use this to make quick and easy presentations for Uni. But would like to find opensource alternatives. I am aware of the Libre and OpenOffice Suites ofc, but are there any other ones more similar to Canva?...
The window sill has plenty of space and is a cozy spot, directly above the baseboard heater in the space behind the couch. This is one of her favourite spots.
I daily drive Firefox, but more and more websites are starting to break without Chromium, so I still have to occasionally switch to get something working. I was using Ungoogled Chromium until I realized that there was no easy way to update it when that pixel-stealing exploit came out a while back....
I use Vivaldi alongside Firefox. And yes, Vivaldi is great. It has a really really nice tab management system which I really wish was on Firefox. Otherwise it’s very fast and very customisable. I recommend to at least give it a solid try.
I’m kind of disappointed in ecosia for implementing a new feature that would send user data to Microsoft and Google. I liked it not only for it’s environmental mission but also because it had decent privacy.
I have seen many people in this community either talking about switching to Brave, or people who are actively using Brave. I would like to remind people that Brave browser (and by extension their search engine) is not privacy-centric whatsoever....
I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to...
I really liked OpenSuse when I tried it, but personally want slower releases. Very glad to hear that they just released the new Slowroll distro regarding this. Might have to switch back now… 😅
It’s plenty good out of the box, it was my first distro and I had a great time with it. But after learning more about what I like about a distro I ended up changing. But I’m glad it was my first 😉
As it was my first distro I felt that most things just worked out of the box, compared to what I have learned and experienced on other distro. It has good Nvidia support which is why I chose it. I only switched as I want to distro hop to find what I like the best and to learn 🙌
Considering PopOS is well maintained and supported by System76 I wouldn’t worry about driver issues.
Love this! I recently started up !foraging, as the previous one vanished out of thin air. Got over 100subs in just a day! Was very happy to see so many partake in the joy of foraging. Hopefully more will come to share their findings. There are loads to be harvested from the natural world, that would be great additions to ones foodporn 🙌
Yes you can get Copilot running, although last time I did it required a few extra steps. The guide I was using was on Github I believe. I would try to find it for you, but busy rn 🙃
