There are lot of people who really believe that, not just an answer help with choice paralysis.

IMO, that’s the lesser of two evils. Start first, get annoyed with nuance and tedious internet arguing later, if you’re content enough before reaching the latter, that’s a win in my book.

Argentinian here, I’ve heard that one too, it sounds better in Spanish (as I presume happens in Swedish). “Veremos”, le dijo el ciego al sordo.

I’m sorry you had those issues, I know the pain, browsers have been a compromise for me on nvidia hardware and it seemed like I was the only one with a problem when searching for a solution.

If you ever decide to try again, cachyos is the only OS ive tried where browsers don’t lag or drop frames (mostly, still something ocassional but mostly unnoticeable) so you might want to try that in your next attempt? Whenever that happens.

I’m sad to see so many comments lashing at you for expressing your opinion, but I’m glad to see at least a couple more reasonable ones. Hopefully next time you try there are more people ready to welcome you with open arms.

What drove me to linux more than anything was my profound hate for windows (which preceded me ever trying linux by a handful of years), I just couldn’t fathom how so much money and r&d could culminate in such garbage (my opinion), there’s no good reason for most problems to exist, at least when something happens in linux I know it’s mostly a coordination problem between a dozen of unpaid developers that do it for the love of the game and have no relation or communication with eachother.

I’m glad to see people open to trying alternatives to it, mostly because I don’t think anyone deserves suffering through windows.

It will eventually turn into this

In my part of Argentina they’re saint Anthony’s little cow (vaquita de san Antonio)

I use matrix with a friend, matrix calls (the one that has the option for video) drop out on their own with no warning and the ring tone is very easy to miss, I wish there was anything to do about those two problems. Other than that it’s great, legacy calls seem more robust

Hope not, but tendency in general is for everything to go to shit so I wouldn’t be surprised if yes

I do it when I take a pic with my Mom’s or a couple other people’s phones, some people do not even care that they put their fingers on the lens, and some phones are just made in such a way that it’s hard to avoid if you’re not thinking about it.

Edit: I have had it happen to me a few times, I dislike calls with the phone pressed against my ear with a passion so I tend to avoid it, but I feel like that makes it more likely to smudge the lens so if you do it often.

Somebody out there heard nickleback’s “san quentin” and got thoroughly disappointed after looking for more bangers

Whatever you interpret that as since my main goal here is to seed conversation, but the thing that I was thinking of when asking was a web gui with some live stats, doing some simple maintenance stuff, maybe manage or glance at docker/podman status and other services, etc.

Since I’ve seen some conversations about documenting setups so they can be picked up and troubleshot by someone else unfamiliar with the setup like a family member, I expected it would be common to lower the friction for basic maintenance but seeing the amount of ssh comments makes me think otherwise, maybe more people use their servers exclusively for personal entertainment than I expected.

Ive tasted wine and beer and had cider and champagne for toasts, didn’t drink more than a few sips.

Combining it all I don’t think I added up to a whole glass in less than a year, I see no problem in trying stuff and doing toasts, but I’ve also haven’t had contact with heavy alcoholics so it’s easy for me to say something like that, if I’ve had experience with alcoholics in my family I’d probably not even want to try.

My laptop needs reliability to be fairly certain I’ll have everything working when I use it on poor internet, my desktop is always comnected to high bandwidth and has a decent cpu so I can spare a bit extra time and cycles on updating everything when something breaks

Different needs

I did like having the same thing going on on both for the couple months I used mint on both.

I use linux exclusively on desktop, it’s got a lot of problems, many seem unique to the user, I hate that the way to discuss the problems for a lot of people is pretending they don’t exist, makes first contact more problematic for newcomers. Even before touching linux I’ve been hating that attitude with a passion from windows users, at least it’s not a problem exclusive to linux.

I believe the biggest hurdle (even bigger than the mountain of tech and capital needed) is people having the will to try to migrate to something else.

Everyone talks big about stuff beong crap but almost nobody puts an ounce of effort into trying, even when there are viable alternatives, the slight amount of discomfort of actually making the switch is enough of a deterrent to actually do it.

Think of when everyone were doing that reddit blackout where they would solemnly swear they would come back after pretending they would abandon it, lemmy existed, forums existed, nothing was one-to-one with reddit so barely anyone actually did leave or even tried replacing it with something else.

I’m worried you see nothing wrong with grouping them and identify them solely by their ethnicity.

Night of the dead. Might be a bit jank but it’s pretty fun if you enjoy the game-loop.

I switched to mint for a few months to have the same thing I recommended my friend, I decided to switch again to something i consider bdtter for me.

There’s nothing wrong with mint, at most you’re missing a thing or two that are part of other base distros that you can add on your own, it’s preference, that’s all

Technically there can be some performance gains on a different distro but then you have to do tinkering and stuff. If I had to keep maining mint I wouldn’t mind at all (and some things are way easier and painless).

One thing: browsers have had some issues in every distro I tried other than cachyos, nothing major but a bit of frame drops here and there

I’ve seen a similar thesis in video form yesterday, I feel like in both cases the author forgot the fear they had before making the choice and think that sidestepping the solution to that part is no biggie.

But we’re talking about people who are afraid of a black box where you type text, they need as little friction as possible.

Hindsight is 20/20

• Obs uses more cpu in cachyos than linux mint, no idea why or what I can do about it, experienced the same difference between manjaro and mint (might be something to do with kde)
• audio breaks, when I boot I have to switch to output devices to fix it. No idea why
• sometimes it logs out of the desktop and when logging in it freezes

Having said all that I’m having the time of my life with cachyos, everything works great and better than it ever has in my experience running an nvidia GPU. I did do some tweaks of my own, wizh I didn’t have to but it’s not bad at all

Honestly? Didn’t even think of that, assuming it would be small enough while being good
