"I don't value my time. I value my braincells."

-- Me, every time someone says the "...value your time" argument.

In a nutshell,

Zorin > Ubuntu > Debian > Arch, while (always) pestering google about trivial stuff, "How do I install something on Linux?" -- "Oh look! A package manager! Which package manager is the best?" -- "Distros have their specific packages? Cool!", etc.

Just tell him, "Give Linux another shot when you are bored.".

t. Used to be a Windows tryhard w/ baby duck syndrome, told myself exactly this. Took me a while, but I became a penguin a couple years after.

Eh, just you wait until Bill implements AI into it and/or a xz-like backdoor and then says its "for your own good".

Quite a controversial take, but I think dietpi is a very solid choice, even for x86 PCs.

Download Ubuntu 24.04

Found the Windows poser.

Nah, the average "just werks" user won't leave Windows even if it took money out of its credit card.

[-] GustavoM@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The arch iso offers a install guide nowadays (archinstall), so nah not that much.

I too can't wait when biologically-modified dogs, cats and alike beat videogames using their own undeveloped-yet-modified brain for the first time.

[-] GustavoM@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

This is simply perfect, and masterfully done. Thank you very much, I'll definitely use this.

That is like asking, "Is breathing worth it?" -- well of course. Then again, folks don't (usually) care due to how most privacy-ruining methods/features are ... mostly (in)offensive and easy to tackle.

Title. I'm trying to come up with a fully functional, optimal yet read-only scheme for fstab and I could use some pointers.

Thanks in advance.

...well... that is how I started learning (and getting used to) GNU/Linux, so eh.

Title. Been using "conventional mouses" since a while, and I'm in the mood to try something new. Even so considering its a ergonomic mouse that won't screw my wrists even more while gaming(I'm over 40 y/o).

There are plenty of reviews for it on the internet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_2wixvrWPg&pp=ygUVcmFnbm9rIG1vdXNlIDIgcmV2aWV3 for instance) but I'd like to hear some "real world" reviews about it.

Title. In other words, sbc recommended/optimal power supply is 5V4A but I use an 5V3A instead -- will it damage or kill the sbc? The reasoning behind this is "an direct undervolting towards the system, for lower power draw and temps".

Thanks in advance.

I know this seem like a typical "Your opinion man" post but honestly, is there anything really useful beyond hosting an adblocker? (read: complementary, not found elsewhere, that enhances own's personal needs and/or life as a whole). And yes, I'm aware of what can be hosted -- picture editors, video editors, webtops, dhcpcd, emulators, and so on.

But the question is -- why I'd need all that if these stuff can be found on any ordinary PC out there? Even phones. Hell, even on a smart tv. That is like "trying to reinvent the wheel" for no necessary purpose other than "to look cool". There's also "because its fun", but is it really fun doing pretty much the same thing over and over again? There isn't a "learning gap" between these hosting options -- all of em have (pretty much) the same procedure to get things running.

With that said... I've been trying really, REALLY hard to host more stuff but I can't go beyond hosting (only) an adblocker.

Title. Something that is minimal, has a daemon and a very KISS config file. Bonus points if it also has a "generic" setup (works for all pcs but its not optimal? So I could run this on my sbc.)

Thanks in advance.

-EDIT- Forgot to mention that I've got both AMD cpu and gpu.

Title. Basically, "if a street fighter gamer and a linux tryhard had a baby" where a combination of keys is issued to run a command/script rather than a single or a simultaneous stroke of two or more. i.e left, down, left, right arrow keys, R_CTRL to run Firefox. Right, right, Up, right arrow keys, delete to power off the PC, etc.

Don't know if such command exists, but there you go.

Bonus points if its a standalone and supports X11, Wayland and Arcan.

Title. Asides from setting the whole disk to read-only. (It's not an option since apparently docker dislikes that for some reason.). I'm trying to increase my microsd's lifespan.

For instance, here's my current /etc/fstab

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,size=10M,nr_inodes=5k,noexec,nodev,nosuid,uid=gus,gid=notgus,noatime,mode=1700

tmpfs /var/log tmpfs rw,size=10M,nr_inodes=5k,noexec,nodev,nosuid,uid=gus,gid=notgus,noatime,mode=1700

tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs rw,size=0M,nr_inodes=5k,noexec,nodev,nosuid,uid=gus,gid=notgus,noatime,mode=1700

tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,size=0M,nr_inodes=5k,noexec,nodev,nosuid,uid=gus,gid=notgus,noatime,mode=1700

tmpfs /var/spool tmpfs rw,size=0M,nr_inodes=5k,noexec,nodev,nosuid,uid=gus,gid=notgus,noatime,mode=1700

tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs rw,size=0M,nr_inodes=5k,noexec,nodev,nosuid,uid=gus,gid=notgus,noatime,mode=1700

tmpfs /var/cache tmpfs rw,size=0M,nr_inodes=5k,noexec,nodev,nosuid,uid=gus,gid=notgus,noatime,mode=1700

Thanks in advance.
