It's surprisingly difficult to find options for laptops shipping #Fedora or any other supported non-ChromeOS flavor of #Linux from the #Lenovo website.

#linux users, what do you think is the most intimidating or confusing part of someone first getting into Linux?

Where do you see people get stuck or dissuaded?

There's been so many Windows enshitification moments where people say this is our best opportunity for helping more people get their freedom trough #Linux.

Now we have maybe the best of these moments yet – W11 demanding new PCs, W10 being killed off, and this whole Recall shit.

Yet, after all this, I've never seen any really newbie friendly website explaining why and how to try Linux – with simple text and elegant design.

It seems to me the #Gnome designers would be perfect for making this.

I basically pay ChatGPT to ensure I'll never have to learn regex.

So far it's working!

8 month review of the AMD Ryzen 7 beelink mini PC.... Best $300 youll ever spend.

Seriously been running full fat Linux, MySQL, PHP, Nginx, elixir, and nearly every other app I've wanted to run, and it's been fast and solid.

Workstation quality!

I’ve been having a great time with my new @frameworkcomputer laptop. The flexibility is really unique. First I got to build the laptop myself with parts, and now I get it to be what I want it to be with regards to input and ports and such. I’ll probably swap out the screen bezel for a bolder color, though. The purple is not very purple. Worth the 6 month wait!

My brother was recently in Japan and picked me up the quirkiest little computer from a shop! I love it so much. I have never seen a circular track pad!

Serious question. Are there any #macos users (especially #developers) who are curious about switching to or trying #linux?

I've been toying with the idea of making very specific well done training videos to support that.

But not sure anyone cares.

Just a huge THANK YOU to everyone that attended, spoke and helped run #lfnw #lfnw2024

It was one of the best weekends and gatherings I've been to. Special props to #system76 and #jupiterbroadcasting That did SO MUCH behind the scenes to make this so awesome.

If you're at #lfnw today, come check out my NixOS talk at DMC 118!

Should be up on YouTube as well!

It's the mid 90s and you're at the sitting at the family computer in the living room...

What are you doing?

codemonkeymike, 1 month ago to NixOS

Really getting excited for my #nixos talk at #lfnw

I'm having WAY too much fun putting this slide deck together.

I hate to say it, but i'm really not impressed with this Thinkpad X1 Extreme.

Brand new, i have the nvidia GPU disabled, not using bluetooth, not using speakers, just doing light coding, nothing CPU intensive..

And i've been at this coffee shop for 2 hours, and getting this :(

On a scale of 1 to Drupal, how janky is it to create a #mysql index on a text field like this?

Using a prefix index, as all I care about is the first 10 characters of the field for lookup purposes

So that's why this laptop was sitting funny and the keyboard was bulging.

Question. How do you properly dispose of these puffy batteries

I can't even turn on my kindle without you crab people in my face. lol

My dad just sent me this old pic of teenage me rocking that old ass Pentium 1 probably.

That keyboard didn't play, though.

codemonkeymike, 1 month ago to linux

Hey #linux peeps. Question for you. I'm giving a talk at #lfnw2024 at the end of the month and want to get one of those wireless "next slide" buttons so I can move around while I talk.

Any recommendations? I've never purchased or used one

Every day I tell my family I'm going for a jog, but then I don't go.

It's a running joke.

After getting a flat on my last commute, I decided to upgrade my tires on the ebike.
