I went full steam ahead down the keyboard nerd rabbit hole for a little while and ended up with a split matrix board that I can fully remap to how I like so I never have to worry about windows and I can make a button toggle to qwerty for games. Obviously that’s a bit more than what most people need or are willing to do, but I love it, I actually enjoy using a keyboard now.

Power users probably just use hotkeys and type, Gnome is attractive and stays out of your way. That said - I like Plasma, too. That’s the fun of Linux, it’s so customisable to each person’s needs.

I changed away from qwerty and now my wrist pain is gone. I get this is meant to be funny but for real, don’t be afraid to rethink old behaviors. It didn’t take that long and the benefits are great (for me).✌️

Nah, but if you count the distance between eyebrows and hairline in fingers - it’s about two fingers as opposed to the usual four.

Not sure regards to photoshopping but it’s not unreasonably low. I have a pal with a much lower hairline than this.

I’ve been using it for a while and agree. At least I know how they’re making money off of me.

😔💦🦅🥰🥳

I really like the tumbleweed method, seems like the best compromise between arch and debian style updates.

I forgot that only people you have agreements with can sue you. This is why Boeing hasn’t been sued once recently for their own criminal negligence.

If it was Arch you’d update once every 15 minutes whether anything’s broken or not.

They can have all the clauses they like but pulling something like this off requires a certain amount of gross negligence that they can almost certainly be held liable for.

My company used to use something else but after getting hacked switched to crowdstrike and now this. Hilarious clownery going on. Fingers crossed I’ll be working from home for a few days before anything is fixed.

This is where I’m trying to get to. Any new software I try to make sure is foss and linux where possible. It’s just a bit of a pain with music because there’s a lot of tools I’ve bought over the years and would like to continue using.

Yes, I’ve been trying hard to squeeze some linux into my life, currently trying to turn an old laptop into a little music machine for jamming with on me midi keyboard. I’ve run across quite a few issues just trying to get specific software working. I did cave at one point and try to use windows 10 but their installation media tool would fail every time I tried and the hardware is too old for windows 11 lol. It also triggered my gag reflex just thinking of all the ads it would feed me and all the bullshit I’d have to disable to make it respect my privacy. A number of different distros just worked flawlessly, though, and if all I needed to do was simple computer things and web I’d be laughing.

Yeah, there’s still some other little things, but it’s surprising just how good the out of the box experience is, especially considering how little support the project has had from hardware and software vendors.

Linux is honestly great, literally the only things holding it back is programs supporting it. I’m painfully tied to a select few windows programs for work and hobbies, Wine tries its best but programs need to start supporting linux before proper adoption can kick off.

You’re literally responding to an article criticising the power consumption of ai. What do you mean where are the people? They’re right here.

That’s wild, thanks for sharing.

If anyone genuinely enjoys this you can check my comments for a very spicy way too long argument we’re both way too involved in. TRIGGER WARNING: I am a vegan and it is about that, but also not really?

Also no more vegan arguments for me tonight, let’s just keep the argument about that one guys mum.

Same here.

PS: Apparently a lot of Americans aren’t even familiar with the word fortnight.

It means two weeks if anyone hasn’t heard it before.
