I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...
Yes it is. Especially if you use Gnome. Because you can set dconf settings right in your Config.
It takes a while to remember to configure your User Account not in the normal Settings App but instead in the Config, but once you do it’s amazing.
I reinstalled on my Laptop and i was back on my old Desktop with all my Programs, Extensions, Settings etc within 20 Minutes
When i change a Setting on my Laptop, i use Git to synch the Config to my Desktop and all the changes i made to my Laptop are also on my Desktop.
Also: no more accidentally breaking your system. I don’t have to type random Commands in my Terminal to try and fix something and then try ans revert them. I just add the Config. If it doesn’t work, i remove the Config again and it automatically reverts everything back as if nothing ever happened.
It is trily amazing
Now if only SELinux or Apparmor finally were supported.
Just know: it takes time and effort to learn. The Documentation is often not that good and you’ll go digging in blogs, Forums and Github Issues.
All in all i’d say i’ve spent probably more Time learning Nixos than i’ve spent learning Linux. Which, admittedly wasn’t much as i started recently with fedora which has gotten really beginner-friendly, but still. I’d say i spent at least all in all 20 hours learning how to fix a fringe Problem in Nixos.
Most of that time was wasted on useless fringe stuff you’d probably never want to do, but there’s also some rather normal stuff in there: i remember that my SWAP wasn’t decrypring correctly from LUKS, which wasn’t really bad or anything, it just annoyed me that it didn’t work, and i spent about 40 Minutes debugging that.
For me it was totally worth it. I would do it again in a Heartbeat. However, if you have a full-time Job and a Family, maybe you should just get a Fedora Workstation Laptop. Or a Macbook even.
Nach dem Vorbild der USA gibt es bald hierzulande einen Tag für ehemalige Bundeswehrkräfte. Im Bundestag geht es nur noch um letzte Details, ein mögliches Datum gibt es auch schon.
Der Job des Soldaten ist es, sein Leben zu riskieren und uu opfern für die Öffentlichkeit. Deswegen soll es für sie einen Gedenktag geben, nicht weil sie besonders hart arbeiten.
Der einzige Job, der da irgendwie vergleichbar ist, ist der des Atemschutz in der Feuerwehr.
Und ja, auch für diese sollten wir einen Tag haben.

Hello linix@lemmy, I got fixed on the idea of replacing my iPad with a 2in1 like the thibkpad X13 for uni since I use the keyboard with my iPad a lot.

No, you’re right, i made an Error there. I was looking at the new Fold and almost bought the new Flip as a small android phone instead. But still, seeing how little updates Samsung Flagships get, i am very happy.
I really like gnome and how it looks. However every time I try it I find myself in need of more functionality and so I install a bunch of extensions. For example I can’t live without a dock and some sort of system tray that shows which apps are running in background....

We do a lot of stupid shit simply because it’s always been that way, when there are options that make more sense according to scientific data. Letting a 18yrs old join a deadly job is not responsible.
the Problem is that Librewolf also doesn’t tell Extensions when system dark mode is activated, meaning you have to manually toggle between dark- and light-mode

your own gaming PC in the Cloud, long before cloud streaming was cool and Mainstream
it’s also much better since it’s a whole PC (more like what Microsoft is Planning for the Future) and you can do whatever you like with it. As long as it’s legal, of course.

False Flag would mean that Germany itself commited the Attack in order to retaliate against russia. This was obviously not the Case. However, there have been some interesting revelations.
now, it is most likely that Russia is actually behind the one in Finland. Probably as retaliation against these two countries he sees as his rightful sphere of influence acting up and as a warning.
However, it seems that Russia was actually not involved in the whole Mess around Nord Stream 2…

generally would have agreed with you but since i got a new Monitor i have had nothing but Problems.
Granted i don’t make it Easy for Linux by having 3 monitors at 4K:60Hz 1440p:144Hz 1080p:60Hz but still
all my Browsers always crash. I assume it has to do with Scaling since they like to especially crash when i move them between monitors. Then Gnome randomly crashes. It’s a nightmare.
was forced to come back to Windows 11 because of all that Bullshit. I guess the upside is much better Security on Windows, but still. Although that added Security is pretty useless since every fucking Program needs administrator rights for some inconceivable reason.
Browsers and Steam would just randomly crash. I think it has something to do with scaling because the Programs always crash when i move them from Monitor to Monitor.
