Think of linux as desktop android… That’s probably the best advice I can give you. Depending on which distro you choose, they’ll have different app stores. GNOME Software for some, discover (yes, that’s the name of the program) for others, Pop!Shop for Pop!OS. As for managing apps - avoid installing snaps. Other than that, don’t worry about it.

Pretty much all cloud providers are supported on linux, most of them just don’t have bespoke apps and get added directly to your file manager. Some distros have a step during the initial setup, where you can log into accounts and what not, which should setup stuff like OneDrive automatically. And if not, i don’t think setting them up manually is too hard.

Do not install/uninstall stuff from the terminal. Most self-respecting user friendly distros have an app store which does all the things for you. Installing things from the terminal/the internet should be a last resort, only if the thing you want to install is not available anywhere else.

As for my distro recommendations… try Fedora KDE or Linux Mint.

Moths, especially the big ones… idk, they are just insanely terrifying to me. I know they cannot hurt me, I know they are harmless, they terrify the life out of me

Hey Battery, are you OK? You've been saying 0% for 15 min now. (lemmy.world)

Running a Gigabyte U4UD, been having battery problems for months now, and the battery health only reports 50% capacity. Started playing Battlefront and got distracted and saw my battery looks like this now. Been doing this for 15 min, so either my battery is magical… or the Clevo design is flawed. Seeing how long she goes for...

Yes, it is all Unix (feddit.nl)

Alt text: meme with the ‘Always has been’ formatLinux, MacOS, OpenBSD and ChromeOS logos on top of the Earth The first astronaut says ‘Wait, it’s all Unix?’ A Windows logo, on top of the second astronaut. The second astronaut says ‘Always has been’ and points a gun to the first astronaut.

No, it’s not unix. None of the systems in the meme are actually unix.

Linux is unix-like, made initially by 1 guy who just so happened to base it around another unix-like OS and has quite literally nothing to do with unix

BSD has no original AT&T unix code and while it does work in similar ways, it is still not unix

Windows is windows… The closest thing it has ever gotten to unix is the Windows Services for UNIX, which literally only existed so that M$ could claim POSIX compliance and get a lot of government money…

spoilerI sound like a fcking loser omg

Don’t we already have polkit and pkexec for that?

have you tried EasyEffects?

it’s the never ending cycle, we struggle getting wifi to work and then laugh at windows users trying to get windows to work

Except, that older versions of desktop environments tend to be less stable…

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

No, stable for me means “it’s not buggy and broken”

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, and that’s exactly the reason why I’d never recommend debian for a desktop

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, I get it being broken for the release candidate on gentoo… But it still being broken in the same way on 6.0.4 on alpine… That’s gotta be one hell of an imagination

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

On gentoo, no, but I forgot to mention in the post that the issue is plasma 6 exclusive, as I have both it and hyprland installed and screensharing works fine on hyprland, so idk.

I just did a big upgrade to my “home lab” (got a new switch and moved it out of my bedroom), which required some maintenance in the days after the upgrade… Running a new ethernet cable, because the old one just couldn’t heck doing gigabit, reconfiguring my router and AP, just general stuff like that.

Other than that and my DHCP/DNS VM sometimes forgetting to autostart after a power outage, pretty much 0 maintenance

Just use VLC

The problem with snap isn’t that it’s useless, it’s that it’s garbage. Snaps are just plain worse in every way, compared to other packaging formats. They impact boot time A LOT… like A LOT A LOT on a hard drive, use a ton of space, are slow to launch unless you use like tricks or what not to speed up consequent launches after the 1st one, the store backend is proprietary and poorly moderated, the store is slow and unresponsive, and cannonnical is pulling some real micro$oft-esk shit to try and force them on users… Stuff like aliasing apt commands to snap, disallowing ubuntu spins to ship flatpak by default, etc…

The only redeeming quality that snaps have is that you can run CLI/server programs as a snap, and even then, just use docker lmao.

Box86/box64 is frickin dope rpi400 (sh.itjust.works)

I have been messing with my raspberry pi 400 and stumbled across box86. This program converts x86 calls to arm. And it works pretty well, i got the orginal pvz (disk verison) running through wine and box 86! The game is slow on cutscenes but gameplay is suprisingly playable and was more playable then my first pc lmao!...

Unless you’re running a server, no.

Wireguard, simply connect to it whenever I’m out somewhere and boom, instant access to everything on my local network

@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I like telegram, it’s a messaging app… Yeah

@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Just… Use virt manager or if you like me hate it’s UI, gnome boxes. They are different UIs for the same thing. And are both infinitely better than virtualbox.

What's a common occurrence in your hobby that you think shouldn't be?

For me it’s driving while under the influence. If you couldn’t tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving,...

Imo, a lot of linux documentation and documentation in general is written in a way that assumes you know what it’s talking about… When it’s the documentation’s job to teach you about said things…

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, those are the exact kind of people I’m referring to. They are annoying, however not “I hate this hobby now, fck it all” annoying, to me anyways. And Idk if it’s just me, but I’ve encountered less of them here on lemmy than on smth like reddit, even when I’ve asked stupid questions.

Void is a learning experience. Both it’s init system and it’s package manager work differently to anything else out there… If you wanna spend some time, learning how to use it, yeah, otherwise just stay on fedora.
