Pick whatever looks best. It’s not a big of a deal as we make it out to be.

Fedora KDE is also an awesome choice though if you must choose something else.

I’m more of a control-R kinda guy

I mean I find it hard to believe but this level of argumentativeness is silly and toxic. Why would they lie? Maybe they have some edge case or misconfiguration. Maybe they got unlucky and ran into some kind of breaking bug on their specific system. Shit happens.

Interesting. I use an immutable distro (Fedora Kinoite) so basically everything I use outside of the apps bundled with the OS are flatpaks. Other than learning a few things about FlatPak permissions, file locations, etc, it’s been completely painless.

I wouldn’t even mind snap so much but the day I found out apt would automatically use snaps instead for some packages with no easy opt out was a step too far.

Drop it, snaps are dead. All hail FlatPak.

There was the Amazon thing in the launcher years ago

Alt+SysRq-O

Huh I had thought case-sensitive was default on APFS/HPFS and you had to choose insensitive specifically but I guess not

I’ve never been in tech professionally, I’m a truck driver (now working in the office of company but still drive sometimes) but I have always been into tech. I selfhost as much as possible. Bitwarden, jellyfin, seafile, etc. and also run a Lemmy instance. I like tech projects and control.

You need to escape them with backslashes like so: \*

Well personal computing just moved faster back then. Today, a decent computer from 10 years ago (2014) is perfectly usable for most people (with an SSD especially). But in 2010 if you had a top of the line computer that was from 2000 it was basically garbage. If you had a computer from 1990 in the year 2000 it was practically ancient history.

The PC market just has plateaud for everyday use. We just see incremental performance improvements for enthusiasts/professionals and little more than power draw improvements for everyone else.

It really depends on how old the i7 is, it could be from 2009

An i7 laptop can be up to 15 years old. And memory is irrelevant as it could’ve been updated at any time in-between.

Nah there were mobile i7s released in September 2009 (though how long they took to ship in actual hardware, dunno.)

It could be as old as 15 years… If someone bought a species out i7 laptop in 2009 they may have upgraded it to 16gb at some point. Seems realistic enough

The network is blocking your domain but your browser won’t show the block page because the certificate is incorrect.

I’ve had my domain blocked by a few corporate networks for being “potential spam” or some such nonsense.

Actually that seems great?

Why not Mastodon?

I just like how it works with trackpads more, and tend to do more things basically fullscreen anyway.

For me it’s KDE on desktop, GNOME on laptop.
