Most of my computer time is spent in a Linux VM using 2 screens, with windows/O365 sitting idle on a 3rd screen.
It’s because work-issued device of course. But it has decent specs so no complaints about performance.
Just use debian and skip the hopping between overly specific distros
Is debian a good choice for new users? I know it’s used as a base for a lot of distros. But I’ve never used it. I assumed it was more technical and less user friendly.
Unless you have the latest, newest hardware, most things should work out of the box
Worst case scenario you may have to edit one file in /etc/apt/sources.list to enable some drivers and firmware
Dont let the internet scare you with stories about how only L337 hax0rs can use debian. Its really easy
Using a distro that isn’t a rolling release for a desktop is absolutely stupid
Fedora?
Bee running Fedora for months. Love it on my gaming laptop.
Is that Socrates?
Wow, Linux really has always been with us, all al 💾ng
That’s another expensive burger place
All it costs is your soul

Plot twist, downstairs there is a fantastic free access party
There’s always cool shit in my downstairs ;)
swap out that torch for a high CRI flashlight.
Flashlights and torches aren’t the same thing. The british version of english isn’t real english.
That’s like saying that Neovim is the real Vim
It’s a great time get into Linux for those who want to try it. This year is actually the Year of the Linux desktop
except if they have a 10 series nvidia card ): (not me, a friend has one)
I’m just waiting for a stable steamvr release that won’t break, then I can get rid of my windows partition

Awesome! I’ll give it another try then. Thanks for letting me know.
Except I have Radeon and it crashes even on windows under non old games xd
K fine u get a doctors note 🤪
I blame amd and their crappy chips :') at least I can use Wayland with it
freeBSD is the olny way out
Nah, happily married to Linux and continuously pushing people into it
i can’t wait for linux and freeBSD to replace windows and mostly even macOS
Oregano?
I think in the original the sign said something like “league of legends”. I forget the exact game.
Th- This is my OS!
It was made for me!
I use Arch, btw.
Also fellow emacs user, I see.
Do you guys have some kind of radar for this?
No, we have an Emacs mode for this
Probably it refers to the keystrokes that stretch out across eternity, like control escape alt mother’s maiden birth certificate, etc.
As opposed to memorizing long strings of completely fictional and irrelevant keystrokes in vim, like :IDDQD!?IDKFA.
It all just boils down to preference. Btw these two sentences are the only ones in this message that are accurate.:-P
vim has sane keybinds. I am not doing fucking C-x M-c M-butterfly just to change some goddamn text. Modal editors are inherently superior. :)
One thing I like about vim - which I use literally daily - is that if you time-traveled like 30 years into the past, it would still have the same bindings.
That is actually relevant today b/c when you ssh into a cluster computing / linux farm environment, there is no “mouse”, no “clicking”, no “selecting”, etc., there is only what you can accomplish with your keyboard. Nano, pico etc. do exist - except of WHEN THEY DO NOT!!:-P - but vim is just EVERYWHERE. Regardless of how often I actually make use of that fact, I enjoy the confidence that it gives me that it is there for me when I need it:-).
Similarly for Unix shell scripting, and perl, vs. a language like Python where you never quite know what you are going to get irt to different versions on some other machine that you do not control. I mean, it’s great when it actually works but…
Then again, to each their own, and I begrudge nobody their preferences, especially if it suits what they are doing in the moment:-).

Holy fuck, wasn’t expecting that reference first thing today ☠️

Drrr drrr
For me I just dual boot

It’s a wonder how that community gets anything done.
