More like OpenOffice. It still has some power on its branding, but new users should stay away from it and go for LibreOffice, that is any other main distro (Arch, openSUSE, Linux Mint, Debian, etc.). There’s nothing exciting happening in Ubuntu anymore, but a lot of people still know its name.

selokichtli,

I use Linux in all my machines, currently: LMDE, Debian, Arch, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora and Linux Mint. Yeah, I just realized I stopped using Ubuntu a couple of years ago.

Is that an accident, though?

selokichtli,

From scratch it would take several years. At least in my country, to train a pilot you have to go to the Military Air Force School to complete an 8 semester long career that won’t necessarily grant you a position as a pilot. Of course, with constrained times of war, this can be achieved in less than 4 years, but 1 year seems like a stretch. Now, if you have a vast disposal of trained pilots, I guess you can make it in one year or even less, depending on several factors. The problem is I don’t find stats about this case, and even if there are a lot of Ukrainian pilots ready to fly, they are probably not seasoned in combat.

Why is it frowned upon here to 'steal' content from reddit?

If anything, shouldn’t it be encouraged, and even automated? I’m including even the ‘old’ stuff from reddit here. Reddit shouldn’t be the absolute owner of the content submitted by users. When I migrated here, it wasn’t because of me being against reddit users, but being against reddit the company. Copying the...

selokichtli,

Not automated, but if you see something there that brings something on the table, by all means post it here. There’s nothing you can really steal from Reddit, and even if there was, go ahead and make it impossible to catch you. Companies like that don’t deserve any considerations from regular guys like us.

selokichtli,

Nice way to start the day. Thank you.

selokichtli,

IIRC they did publish their encryption protocol, at least a lot of information about it is here. It’s true E2EE is not enabled by default.

In the end, both encryption protocols are hidden. We can’t really be sure they use what they say they are using in both cases.

selokichtli, (edited )

Yeah, yeah, it’s all about the creators’ well being.

selokichtli,

My wallet would support Steam if it had any sort of bills in it. Lenovo is a lousy company in the gadgets market. I own a marvelous Yoga Tab 3 Pro with an Intel Atom CPU and a built-in projector. An expensive device that received the one clunky Android upgrade and no source code. I modded the firmware enough to make it still usable, but God, do I hate their “support” service. Good riddance!

selokichtli,

Oh, that’s why I moved from W10. My audio card refused to work with this OS. The solution: go back to W8.1 which I just skipped as hell. I could never get rid of that problem in W10, BSOD as soon as it rebooted into W10. No matter what I tried, couldn’t debug the problem. Fuck it, Linux may be complicated, but at least you end up knowing what’s going on. I can’t go back to not knowing.

selokichtli,

Now that I think about it, I haven’t used Google in a while, not even as a bang in DDG.

Red Hat stops all upstream and downstream work on desktop Bluetooth, multimedia applications (namely totem, rhythmbox and sound-juicer) and libfprint/fprintd - linux - kbin.social (kbin.social)

selokichtli,

Do you mean that Fedora users should question if they want to keep using this distro? Because I do use Fedora, and I understand I’m “beta-testing” an enterprise product, but yeah, for me this changes my “relationship” with Red Hat. Or what do you mean?

selokichtli,

TIL

selokichtli,

I was just following the joke. Linux, the kernel and Linus Sebastian are probably the same age, from my point of view (yeah, I’m old).

YouTube will now show a blank homepage if you don’t have watch history on (www.theverge.com)

YouTube is changing the homepage experience for users who have their watch history turned off. They will now see an almost blank homepage with just a search bar and buttons for Shorts, Subscriptions and Library. This is intended to make it clear that personalized recommendations rely on watch history data. The new design aims to...

selokichtli,

Good.

What is your unbiased opinion on Manjaro?

I am a Linux noobie and have only used Mint for around six months now. While I have definitely learned a lot, I don’t have the time to always be doing crazy power user stuff and just want something that works out of the box. While I love Mint, I want to try out other decently easy to use distros as well, specifically not based...

selokichtli,

TBH, if you don’t have bleeding edge hardware just stay with OPENSUSE Leap, Debian Stable, Linux Mint or LMDE. If you are feeling adventurous, even Slackware will cover your back most of the time and gives you more bragging rights than Arch. Even if you have bleeding edge hardware, you are better off with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora and Arch.

Manjaro is just not that stable. It once was the only way to install an Arch-ish system without having to go through the hassle of the official Arch installation guide, but currently there are several options to avoid this guide and still have a vanilla Arch system. That’s how I used Manjaro for a brief period. The tools I remember they provide, or even better alternatives, are in the Arch User Repo (AUR) anyway, available for all Arch-like distro users. Maybe the only exception to this is the wide catalog of kernels that Manjaro provides, but an equally extensive catalog is available for Arch users through official and third-party repos and the AUR.

Manjaro is not quite exciting but also not quite stable. I think it’s a distro most people get by accident.

selokichtli,

You don’t need security updates when you are using the latest version of a package. That’s the security model that all rolling release distros use. Security comes from upstream development, from devs patching their software as soon as they find vulnerabilities. If this is more or less secure than the Debian Stable approach is up for your use case.

selokichtli,

I didn’t say it was a rolling release distro. The security model of their packages is one of a rolling release distro but the distribution is unstable, not rolling. The thing I find plainly absurd is to ask a security repo from the unstable branch of a distro, or from a rolling release distro.

selokichtli,

Gorgeous little fella.

selokichtli,

I do find it odd, too. Like, so many things feel off in the photo. Not only the hair and the blur, but the cat is literally posing for the camera, as well as the soldier whom, by the way, looks stunning in their uniform and make-up. I’m not declaring it is AI generated, but I don’t think it’s a “baseless” proposition.

Anyway, peace for Ukraine and Russia can’t come fast enough.

selokichtli,

It’s way better than the relative numbers of Threads. I expect a decline of active users, since a lot of Reddit users registered to a Lemmy instance expecting a similar experience that couldn’t be fulfilled. It will stabilize and grow up again with peaks when, for example, old.reddit.com is ditched.

Used Windows today since months

I started daily driving Linux since I left school this year and used it before but mainly windows because school wanted us to run Word, Teams, etc. Today I wanted to play games and haven’t set up my device for gaming and didn’t want to download the game twice (good internet). Like a good PC user I wanted to do my updates. It...

selokichtli,

I think it is more gentle when you actually use the OS, but OP says they don’t use it a lot. I basically don’t use Windows a lot for so many reasons, but in the odd occasion I need to use it, it’s like OP’s experience. There are so many updates and the thing insists on installing them, or you think it’s gonna be okay to install them --accostumed to pacman, apt or whatever. If you agree or click on Install updates as they recommend, there you go into the rabbit hole of Windows updates.

selokichtli,

Mexico, too. First time I felt the internet was a part of the real world. Took a couple of months but they even sent stickers!

selokichtli,

A lot of distros already implement different methods to avoid this. There are already comments about a couple of methods, timeshift is another one, it’s pushed heavily by Linux Mint, for example.

selokichtli,

If the average user doesn’t need some specific products, yes. Gaming is not an issue anymore. You are only constrained by products that can’t run on a browser and lazy ass companies like Adobe.
