I own a MacBook Air basically for GarageBand and other DAWs. I know how to get Jack to work. Pipewire made life easier. Still, music production on linux still sucks butts.
Too many butts for me to do anything other than other computer things and programming.
I am having so much fun reading things. Makes me feel better about my disaster, but my mistake does not touch most of these.
On a real life related note, I surprised everyone around me when I managed to overturn a ski jet, which apparently doesn’t really happen. I too can do the improbable. Hah.
What is kind of funny is that my computer has the SSD for system and home, and I only ever used the storage to copy over files from my home. I also have a little 1TB SSD That I could have used as an offline backup… but didn’t do that. I had the tools, just never thought to do it. I will look into a NAS, that would be nifty. Can’t bork that with a new install.
I feel like I have done that too, but long time ago. I always got confused with dual booting. I get weird trying to calculate how much to space to give each partition.
You are right. I was happy with linux mint, and before that MX Linux. This is all just bike shedding. I spend a lot of time setting things up Hell, I spend too much time just downloading crap because I have not bothered to make a script that would automate installation of the apps I use.
Oh, I am on Fedora Silverblue with Gnome. If it is easy to switch, I think I will give KDE a try!
I like Gnome, and I definitely need to tweak some behavior I find annoying, but I feel I never gave KDE a proper chance because I seem to mess up the panel whenever I look at it wrong, and have no idea how to get back to default.
Ah, thank you for the write up. I will actually do that because KDE something I know I will like and enjoy more than GNOME once I get past some of the weirdness. Mostly, I want to customize it in certain ways, and while GNOME surely is customizable, it is not as easy as KDE.
Yeah, rebasing feels like some scifi future tech and I am ready to play. It is like resleeving ala Altered Carbon.
Do you need to pin the last working ostree before rebasing? I guess I want an easy way to switch between working environments without a lot of rebasing.
Thank you! I have been looking at Fedora Silverblue and ran it for a couple weeks. My only issue is that sometimes I need programs that only got .deb files, and they are meant to run on Ubuntu not debian.
Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it...
I know I am reviving an old thread, but my philosophy is that posts are timeless and age should not be a reason not to respond.
Currently I am in the project of learning Rust and Raku, because I am interested in becoming a better systems programmer and I want to be able to do things for my computer without hitting a wall when a solution does not exist, or simply to master my second home.
This is a mindset issue. There is a lot of legacy opinions on how to use your computer, but never forget it is YOUR computer. I say never worry about something being portable to others. What you make will be portable to you, and that is all that matters. Make your computer yours. If someone wants to use your computer but can’t, isn’t that a win?

What makes you not want to use Linux anymore and maybe move back to Windows, MacOS, or TempleOS?

Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?
I just discovered something I did so idiotic I need a stronger adjective that what is in my name....
Help Me Come Back to the Light...
TL;DR I am using Windows and I want help setting up all the conveniences I enjoyed back into Linux… specifically an alternative to OneDrive....
Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?
