Me, a hacker, targeting anyone who says they use Arch btw.

I’ve got the 20TB box for my Jellyfin library. Works great.

Sure, but that’s kind of the old Windows way isn’t it? Package managers are super nice in that everything is grouped together, and gets updated automatically.

For me, at least, that feeling is because I just like knowing my software is up to date. Only rarely do I come across an issue that is solved by a newer version, but that’s just me I’m sure. I definitely see the appeal to not having to think about your desktop applications individually.

About 18 TB.

Mine is the best for me because I like it the best. It does what I need with a minimum of configuration or customization. My needs and preferences are probably different from yours though, so Linux Mint Debian Edition with Cinnamon desktop environment might not be the best for you.

This person is desperately trying to convince themself. Once the finance capitalists gain control they will be steering the company. They don’t care about long term profits if they can squeeze high short term profits. They don’t give a shit about the company, especially in tech. They’ll sell off any IP (or keep it for their collection) when it’s time for bankruptcy and move on to the next target.

My mama also told me that if someone locks you up, then you just lock them up right back.

My mama always told me, that if someone makes a deepfake of you, then you make a deepfake of them right back!

I have it on my desktop, but rarely use email there. My phone uses K9, which is actually now Thunderbird also 🥸

All this discussion about captchas raises a question for me: if fingerprinting is so accurate and easy, that ublock, no cookies and a VPN don’t help… then why the fuck do I have to keep doing captchas?

Idk. There’s already plenty of right wingers (libertarians) in FLOSS spaces. I’d hate to see any more.

Absolutely. It is crystal fucking clear that Iran will never be safe until it has nuclear deterrence.

Navidrome for me. Installed via Yunohost.

They should just shut it down rather than comply with laws which punish antipathy towards a genocidal state.

Been using it for 10+ years. Love it.

It’s been too long, but seems like I had some problems with formatting getting wrecked between Word and LibreOffice. It probably works a lot better now, not to mention that you can just access Word in the browser if really necessary.

This is a great story, and you should be really proud of yourself! Good job :). I used Linux through college and had very few issues (that I can remember!)

Can you use dd to create multiboot USB drives? Even the link you shared lists Ventoy as an option.

In terms of games and programs, it’s best to look for/ask about the specific ones. Things have improved a ton with Steam/Proton, but just make sure there isn’t a deal breaker in there somewhere. Otherwise, there’s great distros out there that are EZPZ for normal everyday computer tasks (web surfing, file browsing, office shit).
