What a bullshit take.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?
1·1 year agoI tried Silverblue.
And I wanted to run it without layering, cause everyone tells you to avoid it, since it kinda defeats the purpose of an atomic distro in the first place.First of all, it was buggy. As an example, automatic updates didn’t work, I had to click the update button and reboot twice for it to actually apply, even though it was activated in the settings.
None of the docs helped (actually, there wasn’t any in-depth documentation at all). And no one had a solution besides “It should actually just work”.
That’s the main advantage (the devs test with the exact same system you run) gone right from the start.Then Firefox is part of the base image, but it’s Fedora’s version, which doesn’t come with all codecs.
If you install Firefox from Flathub, you now have 2 Firefox’s installed, with identical icons in the GUI. So you need to hide one by deleting its desktop file. Except you can’t. So you have to copy it into your home directory and edit it with a text editor to hide the icon.
Then I went through all the installed programs to replace the Fedora version with the Flathub version, cause what’s the point of Flatpak if I’m using derivative versions? I want what the app’s dev made.Then it was missing command line tools I’m used to. Installing them in a container didn’t work well cause they need access to the entire system.
Finally, I realized even Gnome Tweaks wasn’t part of the installation, and it isn’t available as Flatpak.
That’s the point where I tipped my hat and went back to Debian. Which isn’t atomic, but never gave me any issues in the first place.Maybe it’s better now, I was on the previous version. Or maybe the Ublue flavours are better. But I don’t see any reason to start distro-hopping again after that first experience.
I have no experience with Opencloud, but Nextcloud is borderline unmaintainable in my opinion. I welcome any new player in this space.
At that point, make it a thin client which boots from a network image and logs you into a terminal server.
Then you have the hardware and software resources you need for your role wherever you are.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Am I allowed to use gentoo if im not 40+ or dating?
1·2 years agoThat ad is targeted perfectly.
Newfangled bullshit! Choose ext2, twm, alsa, sysvinit, xinit, and compile additional software from source.

0·2 years agoThe AI score will be one column in a table of all applications.
If you decline, your application will be shown in the same table, just without the score.The HR person will sort the table by AI score descending and call the first 5.

Doesn’t surprise me though, that most will jump ship to another Chinese spyware instead.
When you run OpenSUSE, you can feel it was made by Germans.
The installer is a beautiful example of German engineering.
The package manager is a perfect example of German over-engineering.
If you run it with KDE, you have 2 redundant GUI admin tools for every config in the system, and 4 for setting up printers.
In biology, the top one is called K-strategy and the bottom one R-strategy.
Both are valid strategies.But generally, K is better suited for highly developed, intelligent, cooperative and social animals.
R is better suited for animals that live alone in a hostile environment full of predators.There’s a message about the modern job market in here somewhere I guess.
They have other skills you don’t have, that are more important for those high paying jobs.
Like faking genuine interest in the shit their higher-ups blather on about, convincingly laughing at racist and misogynist jokes, backstabbing their peers when a position opens up, and doing the most demeaning tasks with a smile and a “thank you”.
Why don’t you just let the Invisible Hand of the Market roll the boulder uphill?

0·2 years agoFuck you, you really made me check on my phone if all my text looks like this :(
(Your comment showed up “fine”, by the way)Yes, I think I will. Not exclusively, of course. But starting Firefox in Wayland just takes a key combo and 5 seconds if needed.

look under the hood
They’re Gnome with extensions and a theme









You’re such a heartless bastard, depriving those poor foxes in the forest of their food, by sheltering it.
