GenBlob,

That’s disappointing. Guess I’ll join another instance.

GenBlob,

I’m using it now and I feel the same way. It makes more sense to have a workspace indicator but I’m so used to the activities text at the top left that it just feels weird. I don’t care if they change it it’s just weird not having it after seeing it for 6 years

GenBlob,

The main benefit to using Gentoo is having complete control over your system. I’ve been a Gentoo user for nearly 6 years so the feeling of accomplishment has worn off long ago and now I feel like I’m using any distro which is a good thing. use flags come in handy when you want to install a desktop but none of the extra crap that’s bundled with it or an application that has a feature that’s disabled by default that you want to enable. Most packages take less than a minute to compile and on the stable branch, most of the big stuff only needs to update once in a while. From an outsider it sounds tryhardy to use Gentoo but in reality I’m using Firefox or playing a game while something compiles in the background which isn’t as often as you think. I update once a week and it’s usually 4 packages that take a minute to compile.

GenBlob,

Nice! After the first time you get the hang of it but keep in mind, If you do make your own config you will have to recompile your kernel for any hardware that isn’t automatically enabled in the config like graphics, touchpad, tablets, and other peripherals you will plug into your computer. Reading up on what hardware you have helps a lot but I still manage to forget something when I have to create my own config. Thankfully you can just transfer your config to the next kernel instead of creating it all over again.

GenBlob,

Stuff like this is why I love Linux. Without ideas like this we would be using the same old boring windows desktop for the rest of our lives. I’m all for GNOME experimenting with new ways to manage windows.

GenBlob,

I supported sending a message on r/place but this is embarrassing

GenBlob,

Great work guys. Now let’s keep lemmy on there

GenBlob,

I use firefox for obvious privacy reasons but also because I can customize the UI. Chromium’s interface is oversized, ugly, and locked down while on firefox I can change any aspect of it using my own CSS.

GenBlob,

They’re getting desperate.

GenBlob,

Team Fortress 2 with 2075 hours and that’s on an account I made 4 years ago. My old account had 3000+ hours.

GenBlob,

The thing I love about Linux is that you think you’re set until you find out about some cool program you never used before and then you go down a huge rabbit hole learning how to use it and customizing it to your liking.

GenBlob,

I used FreeBSD as my OS on my laptop a few years ago and It’s pretty good but with the advancements and huge support that Linux gets, FreeBSD has to play a forever game of catch up. I’ll use it again someday

GenBlob,

No.

GenBlob,

Nothing enrages me more when you have a very specific problem and the only result is a reddit thread that’s filled with jokes, irrelevant information, and no solution.

GenBlob,

Yes.

GenBlob,

Nothing is worse than seeing chromium-based browser users fight other chromium-based browser users. You are all using the same fucking thing!

GenBlob,

I've been on Gentoo for 5 years now.

GenBlob,

This physically hurts to look at

What's your opinion on Xenon 2? (lemmy.world)

This game gets a lot of hype in the Amiga and Atari ST community but it's labeled as crap everywhere else. In my opinion the game looks great and could have been fun if it didn't suffer from awful hit detection which just ruins it for me. Most of the time your bullets pass right though the enemies which leads to a lot of...

GenBlob,

I totally agree. There's much better games out there

GenBlob,

I grew up with it and only had 3 games for it. Adventures of batman and robin, Sonic 2 and X-Men. I played X-Men the most and it's a really fun game with nice music. Years later I discovered the rest of it's library though emulation

GenBlob,
