I'll have my first Install Party next week. I will install Linux Mint because it is easy and well documented. I'll bring a laptop with a clean install. So I can teach some basics while the installations are running.
Keep being a decent human bean still is the way to go, though. Otherwise it's a race to the bottom, Marquis de Sade-style. Fuck these psychopaths, you're better than them!
I installed this for less then 20€ and can't live without it anymore. I use a few toilet papers to dry my butt, it's already absolutely clean 90% of the time. My whole family can't go back to just wipe.
I just installed DietPi on my new ThinClient. I use it on Raspberry Pi for years and I really like it. Is super lightweight and comes with lots of preconfigured software.
Wikipedia says it's written by all four members of the band. And I agree, they're super mainstream and unremarkable but Viva la Vida is perfect. The lyrics are epic, poetic, wise, sad and true. The instrumental is flawless, simple yet classy with these strings and the choir. The atmosphere is unlike any other song I've ever head and it's breathtaking even after listening for the 100th time. A true masterpiece.
I use Syncthing to sync DCIM and Pictures folders from Android to my computer. Every six month or so, I move pictures from these folder to the folder for this years pictures: home/pictures/2025. So they disappear from my phone as well, which is great to free up space. This works great for me.
2: I'm a Bitwig fan-boy. Buy this great piece of software, have tons of fun and never use third party VSTs again. Sound design, modulate everything, wow! You can run many Windows VSTs using yabridge. Reaper might be a good choice for a DAW as well, it's a little more classic and has plugins and scripts for everything.
Off-topic:I'm always tempted to write it out. The word is in everybody's mind while we read the text. It gets so powerful if people decide to talk around it. But if the context is not hurtful, it's just a word. Nothing happens. It becomes an insult if the mind of the one who says it or the one who reads it decides to make it one.Plus the assholes who use it as a slur will say it anyway. We're not achieving anything by erasing it from our bubble.Well, that's what I think about it. :)
This is offtopic, but I switched from Alpaca to duck.ai. I try not to use AI too often and even though I like the idea to run it locally, duck.ai is way easier to use.
I started on Mint and liked it so much that I never distro-hopped. Every now and then I think about trying an immutable distro. But then I remember how much learning I had switching from Windows to Mint and I get scared of losing so much time to learn about Aurora. What would your say to me?
Writing this from a degoogled Pixel 4a bought second hand for 80 bucks a couple years ago. Great camera, enough storage, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, fits in hand and pocket. This thing is close to perfect, new phones are scam.
