  • Will I survive the Linux CLI if I only switch because I'm a student and Arch distro speed?

    Jump

  • If I was back in college and using Linux for the first time, I'd probably go with Fedora tbh. Arch is a pain in the rump for a first-time user and Fedora really is a "it just works" distro whilst still maintaining speed and keeping things up to date with it's (more or less) rolling release schedule.

  • How do you explain to your co-workers that you use Libre Office Writer and other Linux apps?

    Jump

  • I didn't use Linux in college, but I did use many FOSS tools. LibreOffice is easily my favorite office suite and there's no contest. So long as you export your documents as .PDF or submit them as .DOCX, nobody is likely to know or even care what you used to type them.

    This is likely to be similar for other types of software- as long as your finished product is compatible and looks good on the proprietary software, you shouldn't run into any issues.

    BTW, the university had student access for Microsoft Office. I could have chosen to use their tools at any time and I simply chose not to.

  • My first real relationship was in high school at age 18 with somebody who left me kinda burned out with their lack of maturity. It was a rather unhealthy relationship that ended after about a year. After that, I went out with a couple people in college but it never led to anything. Now I'm 24 and last year I met somebody really special. We've been seeing each other for about half a year now and I can confidently say I'm glad to have waited before finding myself in something serious. I truly feel loved and cared for with a certain stability that I didn't have at 18.

  • Why do people always talk about Ubuntu here instead of Kubuntu?

    Jump

  • I think most people just say Ubuntu to indicate the Ubuntu family of distros. A help guide for vanilla Ubuntu running GNOME should work the same way for Kubuntu with very minor changes i.e. adding a repository for the GNOME software manager vs the KDE software manager.

  • online, what is the most unheard of country (prob by american standards) youve heard of someone being from?

    Jump

  • For me, it's gotta be Namibia. It's a country in Southern Africa, and the only reason I've come to be aware of it was because I've made a very fortunate contact whilst talking on amateur radio. Two consecutive Decembers I happened upon the same gentleman on the 10 meter band, and he confirmed my QSOs (contacts) on the logbook!

  • I was reading this on the Wiki and I couldn't seem to get it to work. I did:

    sudo systemctl enable ly@ttyX.service sudo systemctl disable getty@ttyX.service

    But it didn't work. Was I supposed to substitute the X for a number? Instead I just installed sddm and that got me back up and running.

  • This is the reply that got me back on my feet. I tried reinstalling and reenabling the ly display manager but it didn't work for some reason. I installed sddm and now I'm back in business. Thank you!

  • I suppose all the "I use Arch" memes made me curious about the hubbub behind it. Fedora is totally competent, works right out of the box and gives no issues in my experience, I truly believe it should be recommended more when folks consider making the switch. Arch has been a learning experience for me, kinda figuring out what the system needs but doesn't come with. "Oh, I have no firewall, I better install it. No bluetooth? Alright, I'll add that too." It's so hands on and it forces the user to make decisions that the distro usually makes for the user on its own. This is a "for better and for worse" type of thing, but it forces the user to learn more about Linux itself than just handing them a totally functional machine right out of the box. It was intimidating as hell the first couple installs, but now I understand things I didn't understand before as a result of it.

  • I switched because of a strong dislike for Microsoft and their spyware. I didn't even bother dual booting, I ran baptism by fire right into Fedora and it was way smoother than I expected it to be. I enjoyed Fedora so much that I decided to try Arch. Very different experience, but now I've learned so much that I dumped Fedora and I use Arch for almost everything. I do keep a machine with Debian that way I feel like I'm getting the most well-rounded experience in case I ever need to help a friend with a Debian-based distro.
