I went Gentoo to Debian to Arch.

Gentoo took too much time to maintain. (Not just compile time. But also human time editing config files).

Debian was great, until I had new hardware that needed a recent kernel and Wayland. i tried testing but that wasn’t stable enough and took too much of my time maintaining.

I’m using arch now. i would only switch if they do something egregious (push ads, malware or snap)

lol. i used Gentoo for 5 years or so. it’s the only distribution I don’t recommend.

it assumes you have hours of CPU time to waste, and hours of your time to dispatch-config afterwords.

do Debian or arch.

vim, fvwm and Debian after 10 years of use.

I found firenvim which allowed me to edit text boxes in Firefox using neovim. couldn’t do it with vim, so I switched. love it

I bought a new laptop with a 4k screen. had to have different scaling on my external monitor and laptop screen. fvwm wouldn’t handle it… switched to kde/plasma and arch.

not sure if this is the kind of habits u were looking for 😃

please remove the French language pack

please rm -fr /*

it also means don’t risk everything you have for a somewhat opaque promise of something better

honestly the distro doesn’t matter so much as long as the hardware i supported. run a minimal desktop, disable CPU hogs and file indexing etc.

I used fvwm on Debian for many years on old computers. worked great. now I have kde/plasma on arch. my 10 year old laptop handles it fine…

hilarious. tx for sharing. updating to include the latest OS airlines tht constantly push ads or ai would be nice

lol ditto. but the first thing I do on new installs is chsh /bin/zsh, replace caps lock with control and enable vi keys. otherwise I’m dysfunctional

I use arch, btw

you should especially do this on Friday 5:00pm in production, right before going on an international vacation with bad Internet.

why hardware kill switch? with Linux u can disable them and unload the associated kernel modules. is that not good enough for u?

I used seafile in the past. but I abandoned it for syncing. might help your use case …

please mirror to codeberg. (or move completely to codeberg). they are more in line with your mission.

yep. why are they opposing fact checking in the first place? no one should be able to lie unchecked to dupe voters

the content of Vance’s lies are really really scary. not to mention his damned non answer

you’re totally right on this. I’m surprised walz didn’t say more than “that was fact checked and found to be false”. explain that abortions don’t happen after live birth! call out the lies.

vance did a total 180 on many things while looking directly at the camera. he’s a sociopath. he scares me… he’s smart and doesn’t care about anything other than personal gain.

so one thing I never got when. I was watching robocop was the danger of having mega corporations owning public services. I never gave it a second thought, and liked robocop cause hey robot cop action 😃

now we are living in a reality where billionaires and mega corporations own public services. it’s scary

I use syncthing for this purpose all the time. I seemlessly move from my work PC, home PC or laptop. I sync my data directories and most of my config settings. some are different per system (monitors, etc). 10/10 highly recommend

we just respond appropriately:

• thoughts and prayers
• NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT GENDER ISSUES
• thoughts and prayers

honestly I don’t see why they put effort into making a new font. there are plenty of freely available ones that are good enough
