Windows for a long time before I knew what OSes were. I never liked how locked down MacOS is so I’ve never used that. Then I tried Ubuntu in college, mostly to play with. Then tried Arch, removeded up my system a couple times and reinstalled, then tried Manjaro because I’d heard it was more stable and less fuss. And now I’m back on Arch. I think I’ve finally mostly figured it out over the last decade lol, I haven’t had a problem with my install in years.

I’ve got both Samba and NFS set up. I’d say Samba is the most versatile, just because more devices are bound to be compatible with it out of the box. I have an app on my phone I can use to connect to it, for example. And it obviously works with Windows machines. NFS is very simple to set up and nice and speedy. But I only use it for a couple permanent shares for specific things between Linux machines. You could always use a mix. I have a directory that’s shared with both.

I’ve never configured Kerberos I think, might’ve tried once in the past. From what I understand it’s a pain to set up and really more useful for enterprise environments. But could be fun to configure if you’re into tinkering with that sort of thing.

It’s become really sleek looking too. When I first started using it the UI looked kinda clunky.

I like yakuake, I’m spoiled by the drop-down terminal at this point

Arch will go into emergency mode whenever it can’t mount a volume in fstab on boot. If the drive is formatted as NTFS, I’ve had this exact problem. I think it has to do with windows marking the drive as dirty. I didn’t bother figuring out what the problem was, I just stopped trying to mount an NTFS drive on boot. Maybe you’d have better luck using the ntfs-3g driver?

Fair enough, I appreciate the in-depth response. For the record, I am generally against defederation. I was originally against defederating from exploding-heads, too. But you seemed to be taking a personal interest in maintaining federation with hexbear. I didn’t see a post from admins regarding exploding-heads as a “valuable asset.” Maybe I’m wrong on that. Just seemed like a far cry from our instance defederating from lemmygrad from its inception, due to y’know, the whole radical troll thing. I’m not interested in radical politics in my feed. And I expect most of our users aren’t, either. We still aren’t defederated from hexbear, despite a discussion, followed by a vote thread voting overwhelmingly for it. If a vote thread needs to be instigated by an admin, fine, please do it, most people will vote in the affirmative again. They could refederate at any time if they decide they’d like to “dunk” on us again. I’m not sure why we’re leaving them with the keys. Again, I do appreciate your response, and I appreciate that this is a pain in the ass, thankless job without pay, but the whole hexbear debacle has been pretty frustrating.

Well, I wouldn’t have called the discussion your users were having around defederation a “struggle session,” to start. Feels like you were trying to push your politics and it backfired. I didn’t feel any pushback from y’all when users overwhelmingly wanted to defederate from exploding-heads.

Our admin has been acting incredibly sketchy regarding them, not a fan.

Lemmy in general is running out of comment space? That’s kinda a problem, there will always be more comments than there are posts

I can also attest to this. And apparently kde support for Wayland is supposed to get way better with plasma 6 in February.

I like corectl for overclocking and whatnot. But as far as I know there isn’t something similar to Nvidia control panel on windows

I almost exclusively use Yakuake nowadays. I like the drop down terminal.

Oh my god I hate this, I had no idea

As far as uni workflow goes, I don’t know what you do, but LibreOffice worked just fine for me in college for papers and such. Sheets is definitely inferior to excel if you’re doing serious spreadsheet work, but Writer works perfectly fine as a Word clone for simple word processing. My professors never commented on it.

I don’t think that’s at all a good idea lmao

Beehaw seems to want to only be beehaw lol. I’m honestly not sure why they’re even using lemmy to host their community.
