Hi there 👋

Yet another UNIX lover :linux: :freebsd: :openbsd:
Sometimes also using Windows :windows:

Stay Open! 😎
...and have fun along the way of course! 😉

Currently playing with a friend of mine. Can totally recommend the game for all gamers out there. Loads of fun playing with a friend(s)! (Action packed with many comedic elements)
Also: One does not need a monster of a machine to play it.

System:
12 amd64
3900x Ryzen
6600XT Radeon
(CPU and graphics card are overkill for the game)

directly from the repositories. (No needed, runs native)

@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

I want to get more into reading #scifi ...but I do not currently know which book(s) might be interesting to me - not deep into the #scifi ecosystem at all.

Is there something you guys would recommend?
I specifically like topics about aliens and space in general (I know, this might be too broad)

Any suggestion is welcome 😎

Thanks to everyone for their input! 😎

Fellow #Linux #FOSS gamers:

What #games can you recommend on #Linux in general? (Native is prefered)
Either via #Steam or #FOSS - both is fine. 😎

Thank you all for your suggestions! 🙂

Combining with the and sure makes for a good time. :arch:
I personally use it for dev stuff - since having no header/dev split comes in handy sometimes.
(Could be done on any distro, yes.. but makes this trivial)

Off to some tinkering on the weekend! 😎

xv6 for sure is a great resource for someone wanting to dive into 😎

The code is simple and quite easy to follow - for the most part. One still needs to dig into internals for sure. But, the size is not intimidating.

over in a simple compose file. Was kinda curious to test that... so here it is:

Hint: Adapt it to your needs 😎

A little rant about why I stopped distro hopping :linux:

#Linux #Debian #ArchLinux

Once the config is set it is quite easy indeed.
Sure, the backported kernels are also tested and working 😉
A custom baked kernel can, depending on the config, be not working 100% correct

@msdropbear42
Good arguments!
I personally reached this state of distro/Linux Zen for myself - it might not be the case for others - since we all have different views on the subject matter.
If the journey through distro land is Zen to you than I would say you have found your piece of the puzzle 🙂
It all depends on the person.
For me, the revelation came from the fact that hopping did not make me happy personally.
Thanks for the input 😉

That is the same story with a Gentoo install. Used to do Gentoo/Xfce before. You can certainly compile out a lot of stuff (Given USE flag magic and custom kernel configs).
In the end I do not care too much about that anymore. Besides, Debian with a netinstall is quite light in itself.
antiX is a great spin 😎

A virtual machine is a great testbed for some fun thinkering with something new for sure!

jhx,
@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

@array
A small machine can go a very long way, let alone the lower power consumption!
I love smaller systems - they are a huge fun to tinker with.
Sure if you need more power the hardware also needs to scale up.

antiX is for sure great. Devuan is also near and dear to my heart.
Also, makes for a great live distro if troubleshooting is needed. 😉

@sep
Thanks 😉
1999 is before my Linux time for sure - started in 2009 😀
Debian sure is like digital heroin... one can't leave it for sure 😎

jhx,
@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

@array
Thanks 🙂
Indeed, that would be great if any community would be inherently positive and welcoming.
A sad fact, or problem, esp. in the Linux land is so called elitism - people pushing their views/distros onto others since they are above everyone else... seen that many times.
To each there own I'd say 😉

jhx,
@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

@array
Don't think about all the negative people!
By the way: They argue because they themselves have some issue... it is not yours.
Run any distro you like and code in any language you like - period!
If for example like C# and PowerShell... can you hear the trolls already?
Don't care about it.
Life is about having fun and experiencing joy - not about being miserable and arguing.
This is the internet... it's all over the place.
Your post indeed speaks the truth!

jhx,
@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

@array
I like to recommend the distros I use BUT I do not force them on anyone. Everyones needs are different, that is a fact of life.
I totally do not care what distro/coding lang/etc. anyone uses.

jhx,
@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

@array
Yeah, people like to push there stuff onto others.
This is a ongoing thing sadly.
Eclipse works, so that's all that matters in the end 😉
Heck, if I'd be happy with writing articles on a C64 or VIC20 than so it is 😎
Joy can be found everywhere!

jhx,
@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

@array
I did not directly grow up with a C64 - but for me it was NES, SNES, etc. 😎
It is indeed a very fun hobby to have fiddling with retro systems 😉

@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

@zirias
Quite a cool story you have there! 😉

Ah, Debian, the rock 🙂

That will be quite some fun doing X11 programming... sure will lead to some interesting facts down the road!
Of course, C it is

jhx,
@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

@zirias
Already some fun going on with X11 programming 😂

@sourcerer
Used Gentoo for quite some time on the desktop.
The best meta distro - period.

At the moment I love my Debian and Arch and will not change. They both fit the bill.

The BSD's are very different in a great way 😉

jhx, to debian
@jhx@fosstodon.org avatar

hint :debian:

Want to find files that change from the version shipped in a the package:

$ sudo debsums -c

This will show you all the changed files scanning through any installed package.
