How the heck am I supposed to get into Linux?

It seems like the more interested I get in Linux, the less appealing it becomes. The community seems to have no fucking clue what they’re talking about, because everyone is just constantly talking over each other and contradicting themselves! I have spent so much time reading about Linux and distros and such to prepare for my...

Deckweiss,

I’m slightly exaggerating

no, no, you’re pretty much on point

(and I have been on linux for over a decade)

Deckweiss,

I did that from scratch a long while ago by creating a virtual x11 screen and vnc-ing to it from the tablet.

On some GPUs it works without a dummy plug.

There are some instructions out there, but I can’t search them (or my scripts) for you right now, sorry.

If you can’t manage to make it work, ping me again in a couple of days.

How do I follow those instructions without the commandline?

Has anyone tried the DE for in the recent years?

How was the experience?

I tried it once like 5 years ago (hope thats recent enough lol), when I heard that they have per monitor virtual desktops.

But I was missing so many KDE Plasma features that I loved, that I just had to go back. I don’t remember exactly which features though.

Per monitor virtual desktops is really cool though.

Windows 11 covers that workflow even better now with a feature called window grouping. I think I’ll need to write a kwin plugin or something for that…

sorry for the offtopic rant, but thats the major thing which comes to mind when somebody mentions enlightenment!

I think it’s even better on a single monitor when you have a lot of windows open.

It puts multiple windows into a group, so you only see one entry in the taskbar. When you click that, all the grouped windows get minimized/madimized.

I used it on the work laptop as well. And just grouped my different sub workflows, each of which had 2-3 windows.

That way I could switch the task without juggling multiple windows.

The actual crazy thing is:

Imagine if somebody ran a Lemmy instance and just subscribed to every sublemmy and scraped all the data without asking. And nobody would even notice.

Reddit owns the content posted on their platform. But when you post on lemmy, everybody owns it, including every data company large and small.

But hey, at least we are feeling good about our social media platform choise, cause it’s federated and open source or whatever, right?

I don’t know how important the CPU is for those workloads tbh. but I feel like not as important so maybe you’re fine leaving it as it is.

I think AMD wanted to release a new GPU lineup (radeon 8000 series) sometime this year/early next year. Maybe just wait for that, sell your old card on the used market and buy a new one?

(And throw in 16G of RAM as you said)
