TabbsTheBat (they/them)

Did you install the banana cursor pack yet? That’s a good meme-ish one

There’s apt-cache search, but I just prefer doing it with the package manager tbh :p

The only time I use the software center is if im looking for software to do a job without already knowing the name of the program that would

Came here to say kate! I tried a bunch of them before but kate is nice :3. And then I have nano for the terminal

A side hop if anything :3 I wouldn’t count secondary devices as distro hopping, especially something like the steamdeck, but I suppose someone might

Speaking of steamdecks tho, I’ve thought about picking one up. I just wish I travelled more to actually be able to justify the price lol. It’s a cool piece of kit

I started on pop!_os and now 6 years later im on… pop!_os

Yeah, I didn’t really do any distro hopping :p. Though I’ve tried a bunch of distros in VMs

If I ever meet them in the wild I’ll suggest they try nixOS x3

Im very aware =w= I just got tired of putting on with it, especially with the way they were treating me like on call tech support expecting me to forego my plans or use my free time to assist with whatever, whenever

At some point even if you know why someone acts they way they do, you just have to throw in the towel and look out for your own health

They were on mint lol. They just wanted to do a bunch of random specific stuff like transferring their entire setup from one drive to another, and then transfer the windows to a drive their linux was on, or installing windows apps that require pretty specific setups (which usually had install scripts made for them, but even reading the guide to how to run those was something they were struggling to do) etc.

I mean, I did mention a lot of alternative solutions and all that, but they weren’t always accepted

That person was in fact an LLM user. And I do believe it was specifically chatGPT =w=

I actually blocked someone over something like this =w=

An ex friend that kept bothering me for linux help, and would refuse to look at or read any source. Literally got so annoyed of them asking something, me telling them what to do, telling them the tools that can do it, and even linking sources that explain the tools, and they still message me with some rudimentary thing that’s literally in the first paragraph of the step by step guide breaking down each argument etc.

Some people just don’t want to try or be competent, they just want to shout “I don’t know computers” and make you read out the same steps you just sent them

I know right? I also checked earlier, I was like… at least 40% sure that there probably was some weird niche utility with that acronym, but evidently not :3

Gotta sudo pacman -S btw to get the btw packages

I use the pop!_os customized version of GNOME currently. I used hyprland for a while until I lost my dots for it due to some PC issues, and I didn’t bother setting it back up. I do plan to switch to COSMIC which I quite enjoy, but it’s also still missing a lot of stuff I need, so im waiting for that to be fully rolled out

The first one is to warm up the engine. Like getting your car ignition to kick over in the winter
