//TODO: Make this better

And you never look at it or touch it again.

There, code fixed!

Changing stuff and seeing what happens. Yeah, about sums up my “debugging”.

WinBTRFS is quirky at best. For the better or for worse, you’re better off either setting up a network share or sticking with mounting the NTFS partition.

Linux mint or ZorinOS. Try both and use the one you like more…

It’s between konsole and kitty for me. Both are great.

Chimera Linux is actually really nice. Been daily driving it for a little bit, and as long as you don’t have an Nvidia GPU, it should work just fine.

I’ve tried FreeBSD and in my experience, it was just like clunkier, worse documented linux. I specifically remember having issues with wifi drivers not working and drivers as a whole being a huge pain. I’ve also tried setting up OpnSense in a VM (for testing purposes) and that was just as clunky.

I’ve also thought of trying TrueNAS core… But the way I see it, it’s just clunkier TrueNAS scale without proper virtualization and with more limitations.

And those my thoughts on FreeBSD. Clunky.

E: All of that and it’s just licensed under the wrong license… I like the BSD license, I just don’t think it works for an OS.

Bash

Generally, no. M$ office has some pretty invasive DRM, so your best bet to running it on linux is to run it on a windows virtual machine

The best advice… Just use Linux more… It’s the only way to get familiar with it

Wayland for better or for worse is still in development, it’s actively changing and a lot of developers can’t (or don’t wanna bother) keeping up…

Do not use PlayOnLinux, it’s been dead for a long time. Use lutris/bottles instead

I want you to imagine an electronic device. Congratulations, you’ve imagined a device that runs some form of Linux…

EXT4 on PC, ZFS on my server and APFS on my mac

Fyi, if you have an Nvidia card, KDE plasma on Wayland is gonna be a better experience.

As for why every distro needs it’s open package manager… Nobody knows, that’s why flatpak exists.

And if you’re using fedora… Just use the graphical app store.

It’s a linux distro, just like all other linux distros… Idk what to tell ya

I’d strongly recommend against going Intel 13th gen, they’ve had a ton of stability issues and RMAs with 13th and 14th gen chips.

650W is probably gonna be fine, I’d get an 800W if possible, but 650W should be fine.

I’d say to ignore anyone saying “Nvidia is as good as AMD on linux”. Because while that can be true, it comes with a lot of asterisks.

*It can be as good and as stable as AMD if you use the very latest drivers and version of KDE plasma.

Unless you NEED cuda, I’d say avoid Nvidia for linux use…

Video recorder: OBS

Screenshot utility: built into most desktops

Archive manager: Built into most file managers

There a few things I’ve wanted to try for a while, but haven’t gotten around to it.

AstroJS (I’ve tried it, but only half-arsed)… It’s cool, but the lack of native react support scares me…

Cosmic DE… Still waiting for the alpha.

Python. It’s a good language, I’ve spent some time learning it, I’m just failing to find a use case for it atm.

Textual (Python framework). It’s really cool, but OOP scares me.

Alpine. The Linux, not GNU/Linux joke aside, Alpine’s kinda great. Light, fast, stable, great package manager. I’ve daily driven it on both a server and as my main distro and it’s pretty nice for both… Unless you’re on Nvidia.
