Real ones remember vlemmy.net. One of the first instances post-Reddit migration to go away suddenly

Just say you don’t like Ubuntu lol

He switched to Debian

Eventually Linus himself will come and personally re-write your cfg file for you

You probably shouldn’t be accessing a linux distro’s website from mobile

I don’t think it’s good to hand-wave a website’s poor user experience and instead blame the user’s device. The fact of the matter is that Debian’s website is not as responsive as it could (imo, should) be and results in a bad user experience. With mobile traffic being responsible for over 55% of the internet’s traffic, it can be generally assumed a user’s first experience learning about a distro will be on a mobile device. If that first impression is bad, that can spell bad news for that distro’s adoption/onboarding.

Well TIL, thanks for the graphic!

Linux Mint: Debian Edition. Love mint’s cinnamon DE, and the plus of being away from Canonical’s shenanigans is great. It’s been stable and my daily driver for months now.

I think it’s more winning the battle but losing the war for Twitter. It just ain’t the same and probably never will be.

Or vertical icon-only tabs!

I managed to bork my first Linux mint install by not paying attention to my permissions I was setting for a usb drive and basically locked myself out of the system and prevented it from booting into the desktop environment. Lesson learned, don’t copy/paste commands from StackOverflow and run them without thinking about what you’re trying to do

NetBoot: “rather than offer you then illusion of free choice, I have taken the liberty of choosing for you”

If you throw away the trash can from your house, you still have to put the garbage somewhere. If a program is outputting errors or logs, it still needs to put them somewhere, so no more /dev/null means no more default trashcan for the system to send its trash, as far as I understand it

Ubuntu I feel is a necessary stepping stone for newbie Linux users, myself included. It’s a starting point that some may never leave, but as the user gets more comfortable I would hope they’d branch out to a different distro that better suits their needs. Sometimes it’s Ubuntu, many realize they should just run Debian with their wm of choice. Regardless of where they land, at least they aren’t using Windows

Any issues with stability or unexpected behavior? I’d like to use this repo but if it bugs out too frequently I’d rather not spend more time debugging than actually using it lol

10 minutes ago this was unthinkable lol, I’m shocked at reading this!!

I think you’re referring to this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-70-percent-of-all-security-bugs-are-memory-safety-issues/

As long as you’re not running Plex lol

Scriptkiddies

Knowing Titanfall 3 died for this is heartbreaking

You enjoy Linux to freely use your machine. I use it to make the cow say funny thing. We are not the same.
