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.

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…

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.

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...

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.

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.

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…

Do not buy dell… They are like apple without the whole “good products” part.

If you want a PC laptop, my recommendation is that you either get a framework or buy one from a linux manufacturer (System76/Tuxedo/Slimbook)… Or if you need GPU horsepower on the go, just get whichever gaming laptop is on sale, they are all pretty much the same. If you’re on a budget, try your hand at 2nd hand. If you country doesn’t have a developed 2nd hand market, then you might consider getting a budget laptop, however those generally tend to suck and I’d recommend against it, unless you really just NEED a laptop.

Just don’t buy dell “flagship” products, they are just worse macbooks

Rectangle for Linux?

To preface this, I’ve used Linux from the CLI for the better part of 15 years. I’m a software engineer and my personal projects are almost always something that runs in a Linux VM or a Docker container somewhere, but I’ve always used a Mac to work on personal and professional projects. I have a Windows desktop that I use...

rectangle is a built-in feature of the KDE plasma desktop lol

Makes me feel smarter and my system boots slightly faster… yeah

Presi300,

I use gentoo, so I feel that

I don’t wanna be that guy but… Linux is a kernel and Hurd is an operating system, so technically neither of them run by default

I love mint, but man do I want them to hurry up with their wayland support

How do they even know if you use your data as a hotspot? That’s just ridiculous!

You feel smarter… Yeah, that’s pretty much it.

I’ve got a few.

A reboot of quake… Quake 2016 if you wanna.

A NieR:Automata sequel. (or a remake of the PC port).

A looter-shooter type game, where instead of you building your weapons, you program them. Like, the unlocks in the game are sort of code blocks, which you combine together to upgrade the weapons and characters… Sorta like scratch: the game

If you’re on a budget, paying 110$ for an unraid license certainly doesn’t help your situation…
