I mean.... Yo.. We have the steam deck bro. And that's going to get the linux desktop to 10% itself. And then Valve is going to re-release Steam Machines and VR 2.0. We're definitely going to have the year of the Linux Desktop

Migrated from Windows to Linux. Decided to share list of answers/statements I was looking for before did it (and could not find). in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Anecdotally, Mint broke file permissions and then the mounting points for my home server setup. And I find Cinnamon to be quite ugly imho.

I tried Fedora and Debian and much prefer those two vs Mint. Also, KDE is incredibly beautiful on the Steam Deck.

P.S. Fedora and Debian work with secure boot OOTB. Helpful for a laptop install. I know you can make it work with Arch and Mint as well, and there's issues+opinions with secure boot, but I just wanted something to work. I am not as adept with linux and the guides assumed a particular level of experience with it.

How pray tell would Bluetooth help with having FM radio? The headphone cable is used as the antenna for phones.

Syncthing and Warpinator take care of 99% of my file transfer needs. They've become essentials.

The Politics of Fantasy Maps: Are nation-states an accidental assumption you made with your map? in c/worldbuilding@lemmy.world

I just recently came to the same conclusion the hard way. Trying to find the historically accurate method of national borders, and finding scant details.

Any distros like linux mint with gnome desktop? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] niisyth@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I've landed in the same boat. Debian is quite usable as is. And fairly familiar when you've been using Ubuntu/Mint for a bit.

I've also been enjoying "I don't care about cookies" extension.

Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I have a salvaged HP 3500 Pro with an HTPC case and 8.5 TB storage. Started mainly for Jellyfin and now have half a dozen docker containers on it. Great test bed for getting used to linux before I slowly creep towards having it as my main OS on my PC.

Folks used to gather to watch town floggings and hangings. And the Hindenburg image is still known to contemporary folks.

There's a schadenfreude in watching disaaters happening in front of your eyes.

Would you mind showing the separate pieces once you're done with the session?

So, this is what baffles me. You use it for one encounter. And it is an absolute blast, coz I mean look at it.

But what do you do with these after that encounter?
