@kuro_neko have you ever thought about making the app open source? I’ve used Connect for a little bit and I really like it, it would be really cool if the app was open source.

But you can do all that with nano and it is straight forward and you don’t need to memorize any key combinations. I mean, I get it and no judgement here. I just use nano because it’s easy and quick.
I’m struggling to see the connection here. I guess I don’t need to fiddle with the mechanical pencil, it breaks very quickly? I don’t want to go through changing those little sticks? Graphite pencil only needs to be sharpened? So, you’re supporting using Nano? I’m a little confused
I write my code in an actual IDE. And I use nano for only, like you said, config files and those little things. And I have never used emacs and I don’t even know how it looks like. I’m dead serious, I don’t even know what emacs is or what it does. lmao
I was talking about the whole Wikipedia with all of its languages. If you look at the beginning of the article where they mentioned they Elon “implied” and had a line under it. That’s a link to one of his tweets that was fact checked by the community on Twitter. That’s where I got the 428TB number.

I’ve discovered a new browser to use as a secondary one to Firefox in case I needed a chromium based one. Thorium. This thing is insanely fast. Brave what?
EndeavourOS is the distro that stopped my distro-hopping addiction. Installed it over a year ago and haven’t left since. Now this made me love it even more. KDE plasma has come along ways. I think Nate Graham has a lot to do with the progress Plasma made. Dude is awesome (so is every other volunteer of course).

This used to be all “conspiracies” and some folks got picked on for pointing this shit out. It turned out that there is no such thing as “conspiracies”, literally everything you hear is real. It’s all a giant mob. They look out for each other. Who gives a fuck about people, as long as their pockets are lined up.
Yeah, I hate those with a passion. Or those who send you to a GitHub page that explains nothing, gives you the tar and expects you to read their mind 😂
This is literally me calling a marine “Jarhead” or “grunt”. Sorry, military habits never die. I’m showing them love by calling them that, at least that’s what my intentions are.
I have run all kinds of distros. Loved them all, btw. But nothing comes even close to arch and its derivatives. I’ve been running emdeavourOS for almost 1.5 years now and it’s been fantastic. The AUR is godsend. I have never bothered with flatpaks, snaps or appimages. AUR has everything I need.

Well said. I use Linux on my main desktop PC and Windows on the laptop. I’m the “use the tool that works for you when you need it” type of guy. Windows may not be as private or as secure as Linux, but it sure does have its use cases. And like you said, a lot of people may not have the luxury of changing their os. Linux is not always ideal. For instance, the laptop I have windows on never worked well with Linux. It has always had problems because it has that hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics. And that shit is an absolute nightmare on Linux. It works flawlessly on windows.
I have tried pop os and loved it. I just didn’t like the battery life on it (on Intel only). Animations were very laggy without running on Nvidia 100% which drains the battery even more. I get very smooth animations and great battery life on windows. I have endeavourOS on my desktop and it’s amazing. Went all out AMD on the PC because fuck Nvidia.
I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.
I feel like a movement is actually happening, but slowly. Look at all these unions forming and people striking all around. It gives me hope, to be honest. The media is fighting it hard and somewhat succeeding, but just to an extent. We will win
Hi all, I’m switching motherboards. No dGPU. Going from an Intel MB to an AMD one. I have my root partition on an nvme and the home one on a 2.5" sata. Do I need to reinstall, or can I just move the drives from the old MB to the new one without a problem? Figured since both Intel and AMD drivers are both baked into the kernel...
MB is a gigabyte one. I’ll do what I can to remove all the Intel stuff. I mean, if it comes to it, I can easily reinstall. My home partition is separate on its own drive, so a reinstall shouldn’t be an issue aside from reinstalling my apps back.
I have not made any special changes to the kernel parameters. Everything is stock. Only thing I did is hide grub menu from etc/default/grub. That’s all.
Already got that covered with snapshots. I didn’t know I can restore those snapshots on another system. Is it an easy process? Like just move the time shift folders to the new system and restore from the app?
I actually did run into some of those “ghosts”. Lol Nothing major, though. I’ve been thinking of doing a complete clean install anyway since I haven’t done it in a very long time. Like, I want to even nuke my home partition and redo the whole thing.
