Tech illiteracy is 90% of why we have work.

Doing it for free sucks though.

This isn’t new either.

Generous placement on the starred quadrupeds to be honest

FP and Electron both are brutal on limited storage, so being able to pick and choose where needed can be helpful.

It’s wonderful.

I do miss being able to send stuff from my PC to my iPhone though, but that’s Apple’s fault.

When in doubt, swipe up

Electric Callboy! Hell yeah

Happy fediversary!

Oh thank hell it’s not just me. Every so often I retry the man command only to get frustrated having to flip through six walls of text via keyboard for something a 20 second Internet search would have easily refreshed my memory on.

This exactly.

I enjoy the level of control I have on my Linux machine but I spend about 40% of my time in CLI.

I recently had to troubleshoot a windows machine, and the lack of control was frustrating but every step for that problem was GUI-centric. Everyday people don’t want to remember commands so they can set up their browser and word processor. They want (to them) simple and straightforward.

To us it’s a low bar, and most of us are from the generations that dreamt of a predominantly tech-literate society, but that’s not reality. We have to meet them where they are, and if they want to learn beyond that then we welcome them in.

Rocm usually needs an override line in pip wheel/python, not the driver itself at least from my experience

Yeah DE is very much a personal flavor preference, which is kind of the point of OSS. I prefer KDE too but that’s because I was a windows kid forever and never liked the feel of Mac-style approach.

The language of this write-up has me envisioning social media as a parallel to the person-shaped holes in Junji Ito’s The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

Why NSFW?

EndeavourOS club! Gorgeous blend between granular control and reasonably configured initial guardrails for a willing-to-learn new Arch user.

I played around with other distros too, before settling into this one. Haven’t looked back after 2-3 years of use so far.

It’s technically there on a separate drive entirely, but I haven’t touched it in at least a year. Probably gonna have to when I need to brush up for my cert renewal though

GNOME is a lightly upgraded MacOS interface. Every time I’ve had to use a Mac has pissed me off so GNOME gives me war flashbacks.

Not necessarily the DE’s fault but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Could always crosspost it to that comm ¯\(ツ)/¯

Baptism by fire ¯\(ツ)/¯

All hail the wiki 🙌🏻

I used to spend hours creating custom color schemes for my Plasma setup and installed a bunch of icons themes. Now I switch out my wallpaper every so often and let the highlight color auto-pull from the image.

Seconding Heroic. Lutris confused me too but I was able to connect Epic and GOG to Heroic.

Also, when you’re not using steam remote play Sunshine/Moonlight works wonders for remote streaming.
