Having recently undergone a full extraction of my remaining teeth and gotten dentures, I'll take "has a healthy set of teeth"- or "can afford dental implants"-man

Oh, look, it's my surprised face again:

I strongly prefer there to be a port. I mostly use Bluetooth headsets, but sometimes your battery runs out, or you really want to use your super nice plug-in noise canceling headphones. It's better to have the option.

Lol no, but I can see why you'd think so.

Oh my god, yes. Go look at distro watch. It's a horror show.

[-] s20@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

This is horrifying of course, but I feel like coming out of a German politician in particular it's a bit of a red flag.

I have fond memories of setting up a FreeBSD desktop while I was in college. It still has a warm place in my heart.

I still hop around, but I always come back to Fedora. It just works. Well, once you enable parallel downloads on DNF it just works.

I'm going to recommend Fedora Workstation. The Gnome desktop is fantastic on a laptop with a touchpad, Fedora is very up to date without being unstable, and between Flatpak, the Fedora repos, and Copr, you're probably going to find everything you need.

Hell, I know I am...

Read the article?

Basically, it replaces the word "Activities" with dots representing your workspaces, with the one you're on being a pill-shape. So if you had three active workspaces and you were looking at the third one it'd be kinda like this:

O O (__)

It doesn't affect the button itself at all, just changes the visual.

It used to be Fedora, and I still want it to be Fedora. It was solid, stable, cutting edge, and easy to work with both on the command line and in the super-up-to-date Gnome desktop. DNF is great once you make a few tweaks, I don't care about systemd, and it supports all of my hardware with basically no tweaking right out of the box. And the Anaconda Installer isn't all that bad once you get used to its idiosyncrasies. I've been a distrohopper for like 15 years now, but I always end up hopping back to Fedora. Or I did, anyway, but with IBM-RedHat's shenanigans as of late, I'm looking for a new home. Current thoughts:

  • I used to run Arch (btw), and could go back to it, but I'd prefer something more brainless to maintain (Arch isn't hard to maintain - check updates before you install, be careful with the AUR, it's golden - but I just don't have the spoons anymore). It's actually what I'm running on the laptop I'm using to post this.

  • I'm not going to use Ubuntu or anything else involving Snap because I hate dealing with Snap (YMMV - I know it has its fans, but I don't like the way Canonical is handling it's stuff there, and I only have room in my depression-addled brain for one universal package format).

  • I love the new Debian, but the Gnome desktop is already out of date, and it's just going to get farther behind. I have to decide if I want to give up cutting edge Gnome in favor of holy-Mary-Mother-of-God stability.

  • Some up and coming immutables look very interesting; blendOS and Vanilla OS in particular, but also OpenSuse Aeon. Just not sure I'm ready to go immutable, old grognard that I am.

But seriously, RHEL - just re-open the source code, thanks, you asshats.

Edit: I really need to learn how to proofread before I post.
