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

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!...

Based PvZ

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.

@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, it’s great. I’ve ran it on a void linux base, a debian base and an alpine base. Was rock solid each and every time.

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,...

Gatekeeping and acting like you’re smarter than everyone else… General neckbeard behavior. Linux/Computers in general can be a great hobby if you can get past the “RTFM, yoUr stUPiD fOR asKing” people.

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

The gentoo one is the most accurate, as I always leave it to compile overnight

What distro should I use on my potato?

I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I’m a writer and it’s a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it’s got Windows and it’s unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it’s...

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

My 1st recommendation for any potato PC is AntiX, however, since this one isn’t THAT potato and you’re gonna be using it for light writing and stuff, I’d say try Alpine… It’s out of the box experience is similar to arch, however you have automated install scripts for things like the desktop environment.

You could also try AntiX’s parent distro - MX linux or Linux Mint XFCE, both should work nicely.

Presi300,

Short answer: no

Long aswer: Kali, as a desktop is just half broken debian with a theme and a bunch of bloatware preinstalled… Even if your host is linux, you should still run Kali in a VM.

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Mostly for headless systems, servers and such. That and debugging, if your desktop breaks/quits working for some reason, you need some way to run multiple things at once…

The only “compiler” I need is npm… Usually just use the one from the repos, however if it’s too old, which on most stable distros it usually is, I install a tool, called n from the old version of npm and use that to update npm…
