it's not even about Python, it's about running gokrazy on a rpi zero instead of an entire linux distro, with its hunger for writing crap on the filesystem

@… Wow! I haven't been able to get any Arch-based distro to install next to Linux Mint. Don't know why it doesn't work, but it just doesn't.

Watching a Dwarf Fortress streamer who isn't a LInux nerd but who happened to switch to Linux due to getting annoyed with Windows. Things do mostly just work for them so they rarely mention Linux.
Yet every time they *do* mention Linux their stream audience becomes dominated by Linux people constantly asking which distro they use, why that one, have you tried Nix, should use Arch, …
Just
fucking
stop

Is there any Cat based linux distro that is actually usable?

I have a dual-boot setup with Debian and Elementary on my laptop, because Elementary was my very first Linux distro, so it’s got a place in my heart.
Anyway, here are some shirts I own, along with two logos and a tux I made at work using the Plasma CNC!

The weekend is coming in about 45 min from now, and I am thinking to change distro, just for the fun of it.
I been using PopOs for the last few years. I love the cosmic desktop but I feel in my left pinky toe that I need a change. Even just for a lil while till the stable release will come out of pop on rust…. Maybe, arch? Fedora? Windows! No! I apologise, that went too far.

I was smiling all the time, it's a great 'I tell you who you are depending on which distro you use' video. It's humor of course. Watch it! #linux

I think it is a nice idea to highlight why we like working with #Nix and #NixOS to remind us, why we all are doing this in the end.
For me it is still the best experience in #freesoftware I…

I'm considering installing some extremely simplified #Linux #distro on my grandpa's #laptop. He basically only wants to use a word processor, print stuff and maaaybe use email.

Linux Mint is often shilled as a lightweight distro that runs great on older hardware. Well, turns out the Cinnamon Desktop actually requires a certain amount of GPU performance to render smoothly.
On my old laptop Intel HD Graphics 4000, the entire Desktop only runs at ~30 FPS. The Xfce/MATE Editions run at 60 with occasional drops.
I didn't expect that from Cinnamon. Even KDE Plasma ran better.

It's so funny what tech people think ordinary computer users can "just" do.
"Just go into your BIOS and enable TPM!"
"Just buy and install a TPM module on your motherboard!"
"Just research and select the best Linux distro for you!"

In full swing on Trixie, with awesome wm.
But, most importantly, also revisit the dk window manager. And that is so nice 👍🏻.
Very lean, made by Nate Maia, one of the main characters in the life and times of ArchLabs. And that's where I got all this craziness from.
Excellent distro, with an excellent community as well. And so many great offsprings out if it.
This whole Foss thing we find ourselves in today could learn a thing or three from it.

“Linux is different now, you should give it a try” says a random Internet person, commenting a video where a developer explains why they don’t run a linux desktop anymore.
No my dude, it’s not different at all. Linux today is as Linux it was 25 years ago, except that a ton of hardware just works.
I run a “gaming” distro on a secondary computer and I’m amazed and extremely grateful that everything just fucking works and I can play games instead of playing sysadmin. But.

That Helium browser is a nice one. Super snappy. Very nice, community efforts to package it in distro formats (and Flatpak) ongoing. Of course appimages run ootb on Slackware ;-). Good tip by @…!

Cachy-Update is something else. I've lost track how many times today there were updates coming in o.O Is it always like this with Arch? I've never used a #Linux distro so intense. It feels like 300 kph without ever hitting a wall 🫣
#CachyOS

@sidalsolgun@mstdn.ca @… I know that GrapheneOS developers internally use Arch Linux, both on their workstations and servers. I recommend it too, because only a rolling release distro can deliver updates, especially important security patches, in a timely manner. So CachyOS, being based on Arch, is definitely a better option than Kubuntu.

That Gentoo feel, and that Mint one... The install of Calculate Linux Cinnamon took exactly 14 minutes, partitioning, pipewire and update included. Nifty distro, had some previous looks at it but now for a longer test. And it stays very close to Gentoo, but improves some generic processes for the end user (updating, cleaning cruft etc). Nice! 🐮
