I'm an anarchocommunist, all states are evil.

Your local herpetology guy.

Feel free to AMA about picking a pet/reptiles in general, I have a lot of recommendations for that!

  • If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save?

    1. Immortal gates of pyre: my favorite game of all time is starcraft II and this is a spiritual successor that i desperately want to have all the current funding for RTS to go to
    2. Portal 2, it's a given
    3. Rushdown revolt, similar situation to immortal, smash but better designed but not nearly enough resources
    4. Mass effect legendary edition, nothing needs to be said
    5. deltarune

    I chose mostly based on future potential and design decisions because if these became the only 5 everyone would flock to them and they'd suddenly have all the resources they need to succeed

  • Sure but these things are not remotely comparable.

  • It really doesn't require much aside from backing up, I can have a linux system up and running with a complete beginner in 30 minutes or so.

  • Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes?

  • Uhhh everyone is saying this is normal and I don't have it...

  • Steam Controller

  • And if you don't know tmr is basically a straight upgrade, makes it vastly more power efficient. Pretty much the same otherwise.

  • Firefox 145.0 released

  • bitwarden?

  • Could a “Discord-like” client be built on top of Matrix or XMPP, or perhaps even both?

  • I guess? I don't know what you mean I just help people on matrix in dm's for free, my matrix is on my profile

  • Why not lojban?

  • What's a subject you (think) you know more about than the average Lemmy user?

  • Herpetology is my thing

  • Antiviruses?

  • Really if you use the centralized repos for installs there is as close to no risk as there could be, I wouldn't even expend energy on this problem.

  • Next generation

  • try element x, it has been fine for me

  • I just found out my fiancee wants to switch to linux, lets start a distro war, what should be her first? + other questions

  • It is, but it works fine even if you aren't a gamer

  • itsfoss promotes hyprland on instagram!?

  • Or do this and never deal with this again

     
             exec-once = while ! hyprlock -c ~/.config/hypr/hyprlock/hyprlock-startup.conf > /dev/null; do sleep 0.01 > /dev/null; done > /dev/null 

     exec-once = swayidle timeout 600 'pidof hyprlock || ( hyprlock -c ~/.config/hypr/hyprlock/hyprlock-screenshot.conf --grace 59 > /dev/null || while ! hyprlock -c ~/.config/hypr/hyprlock/hyprlock-startup.conf > /dev/null; do sleep 0.01 > /dev/null; done > /dev/null )'

  • What exactly is easier about the installation than my suggestion?

    the fedora community is just as large as the mint community, and just as well supported.

    i'm not telling you to switch, I'm saying there's no reason to start with it if you haven't tried linux before. Switching is a much bigger choice because you are already comfortable.

    Why would a beginner who isn't already comfortable choose mint?

  • A lot of people are going to recommend you mint, I honestly think mint is an outdated suggestion for beginners, I think immutability is extremely important for someone who is just starting out, as well as starting on KDE since it’s by far the most developed DE that isn’t gnome and their… design decisions are unfortunate for people coming from windows.

    I don’t think we should be recommending mint to beginners anymore, if mint makes an immutable, up to date KDE distro, that’ll change, but until then, I think bazzite or aurora if you don't like gaming is objectively a better starting place for beginners.

    The mere fact that bazzite and other immutables generate a new system for you on update and let you switch between and rollback automatically is enough for me to say it’s better, but it also has more up to date software, and tons of guides (fedora is one of the most popular distros, and bazzite is essentially identical except with some QoL upgrades).

    How common is the story of “I was new to linux and completely broke it”? that’s not a good user experience for someone who’s just starting, it’s intimidating, scary, and I just don’t think it’s the best in the modern era. There’s something to be said about learning from these mistakes, but bazzite essentially makes these mistakes impossible.

    Furthermore because of the way bazzite works, package management is completely graphical and requires essentially no intervention on the users part, flathub and immutability pair excellently for this reason.

    Cinnamon (the default mint environment) doesn’t and won’t support HDR, the security/performance improvements from wayland, mixed refresh rate displays, mixed DPI displays, fractional scaling, and many other things for a very very long time if at all. I don’t understand the usecase for cinnamon tbh, xfce is great if you need performance but don’t want to make major sacrifices, lxqt is great if you need A LOT of performance, cinnamon isn’t particularly performant and just a strictly worse version of kde in my eyes from the perspective of a beginner, anyway.

    I have 15 years of linux experience and am willing to infinitely troubleshoot if you add me on matrix.
