you are a real linux user don’t let some neckbeard tell you otherwise :P

lmao you joke but half this thread is exactly that opinion

finally, somebody in this thread who doesn’t live in the past.

System package manager is for system binaries. Not for applications.

sounds like a modern approach

IMO flatpaks are the future of installing linux apps. The comment you replied to lives in the past. System package manager should be for system binaries, not for applications.

Atomic distro users: Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power!

I’ve had most stuff look good with Plasma 6. But not perfect.

yeah that’s why the term “atomic” is better

People inexperienced with git can get stuck after doing some funky checkout / rebase stuff. If you don’t know your way around git so well, I guess this is the obvious solution.

good point, that’s fair. The reason I think it bears mentioning is that editing configs under /etc/ is totally something we might expect a user to do. So you could follow a tutorial online that is wrong or outdated and with enough bad luck, tada, you bricked your “immutable” system. Or, less dramatic and more likely, something doesn’t work as intended anymore and you don’t know how to restore to the original config from when you installed.

I’m no expert on this but I’m pretty sure the /etc directory is writeable too for config files, which sadly still allows a user or malware to still bork the system if they get superuser privilege

I’m not talking about bitcoin I’m talking about the creator of the video. And their talking points are very much libertarian.

They are just a crypto shill and a neoliberal. They don’t care for liberation of humans, just for liberation of payments from government. They are a professional investor, I’d say this video is basically anarcho-capitalism in a nutshell. Some of the points they raise are valid, but many are not. For example, not being able to print more money in the government actually removes the ability to control deflation, and if governments can’t print money, that’s basically self-imposed austerity.

if you want to pay somebody on the other side of the world, crypto already lets you do that. There’s no need to hype it up any more than it already is.

Also disingenuous to hype up bitcoin without bringing up the inherent environmental concerns.

You could contribute to Pinta, which I’m pretty sure has the same vision

I’m not used to photoshop so I can’t say anything about that.

I was a big fan of paint.NET but now that I stopped using Windows, it’s the only software that I really miss.

It had fewer features than GIMP, but it was so intuitive yet surprisingly powerful.

Have not found a similarly amazing alrernative, I wish Wine could make it work…

It’s that phenomenon where people who endured trauma to attain something expect others to also endure the trauma.

I’ve tried learning GIMP, and it sucks. I’m not saying GIMP sucks, but you have to be crazy to not see that it’s hard to learn.

In a for statement, it often refers to index

I think they got the joke, they were just joking about how this is common in math :P

I think that’s the Wayland logo
