Makes sense; one of the big things about it that interests me is the dockerfile generation. Although, I should probably get a better understanding of dockerfiles themselves before jumping into that; I have a habit of forgetting the order of carts and horses

I wanna get into Nix but I keep bouncing off the documentation every time I try to study it

I think this is an ESH situation. Fandom sucks for pushing their poison, Google sucks for drinking it

Same here. “Theres a random folder on the USB now but where’s the software to put the ISO in there?”

Now, having used Linux for a some time, it makes sense why it’s just an empty folder. An ISO is just a file, like anything else.

Oh I’m not trying to correct you I just have less than 0 social awareness and saw a word with a funny history so I shared my knowledge on it lol

Scuttlebutt in this case refers to gossip, which is also why the water fountains are called scuttlebutt - people would gossip around them

As an american, the amount of people who refuse to accept that American Propaganda exists is staggering. I had an immediate reaction to seeing “China is good though” and I have no way of knowing if it’s justified because I’ve been my told my entire life that China is an evil shithole by American propaganda.

To take it a step further and say “America doesn’t have your best interest at heart” is deeply unsettling to the vast majority of Americans who blindly hand away their freedoms in the name of Freedom. Wait until people find out that our country is just like all the ones we’re taught to hate

GPU doesn’t work after being reconfigured

On GNOME extensions crash

“I made modifications to my system and broke it”

Syncing files between devices is always a struggle

Syncthing?

Never know what will break when updating

Read your updates before you do them?

Bluetooth and scaling are not issues I’ve ever run in to, but I can’t say they’re not common.

Basically, this whole post reads as “I messed with things that I didn’t properly understand and I’m blaming my computer for doing what I told it instead of what I wanted”

I’ve been poking around Beeper for a while, but only some of their code is open source unfortunately. They have good ideas in their privacy statements, but I haven’t personally verified them.

That being said, the functionality is insane. Combining a lot of the major messaging apps into one is incredibly convenient

You can actually, and I would suggest, grab a fresh Fedora install that comes with either of those DEs. If you don’t wanna do that, I would suggest at least making a new user so that the gnome stuff isn’t crowding your new life

His insurance won’t cover him in an accident

Are you sure he hasn’t taken the proper precautions of just getting commercial insurance and filing taxes 4x a year (assuming US based)? Like yeah, you shouldn’t just go get in your car and go to a bar and offer people rides for money but if this guy has regular customers I wouldn’t be surprised if he also knows how to look into his own rights

Windows only software

I’m sure by now you know about the troves of compatibility layers that exist in order to make this possible; depending on the software.

Get a minimize and maximize button

This is more of a DE issue than Linux issue, I’m assuming you went with the default Gnome but you might like KDE or Cinnamon for a more windows like experience. I personally loved both of those DEs until I made the mistake of getting comfortable with a window manager

Using an AI as a regex checker is so smart and I’m mad it never occured to me that it was possible lol. I’ve just been pouring over random forum posts for it

Ya know, I might throw that on to my browser but I doubt I’d actually use it much. I only really use my browser for research; notes, music, and most of my work is done in the terminal. Being able to swap tabs faster by not having to cycle could be useful, but other than that I find the mouse to be a pretty rapid way of navigating unfamiliar pages

In my case it’s not a sense of pride. I can’t use anything other than Vim because I keep accidentally putting random incantations into my word documents.

“There once was a dduuuZQ:q!”

If you already know what you want but want to save time writing it

IME, going to ChatGPT for code usually meant losing time, cause I’d go back and forth trying to get a usable snippet and it would just keep refactoring the same slop that didn’t work in its first attempt

I swapped from uBlock to AdNauseum. It’s a fork of uBlock which also “clicks” some specific ads in order to cost companies money for running them lol

Yes, but apparently that didn’t come across according to the votes lol

Yeah what do I care if Jimmy down the street enjoys using his Ollama chatbot? I’m too busy worrying about Terminator panning out
