  • Backups are definitely a task I have been sleeping on. I will set that up.

  • What makes you not want to use Linux anymore and maybe move back to Windows, MacOS, or TempleOS?

    Jump

  • I own a MacBook Air basically for GarageBand and other DAWs. I know how to get Jack to work. Pipewire made life easier. Still, music production on linux still sucks butts.

    Too many butts for me to do anything other than other computer things and programming.

  • Universities all have programs that let you rent out computers.

  • Thank you! I have been looking at Fedora Silverblue and ran it for a couple weeks. My only issue is that sometimes I need programs that only got .deb files, and they are meant to run on Ubuntu not debian.

    I have found happiness on Pop!_OS.

  • Tortoise shell on black is ridiculously classy.

    I think my next strat will either be an HB, or a Slick guitar.

  • Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?

    Jump

  • The differences do seem enormous when one first encounters linux. They shrink every install though, but it takes some time for the magic to wear off.

  • I am having so much fun reading things. Makes me feel better about my disaster, but my mistake does not touch most of these.

    On a real life related note, I surprised everyone around me when I managed to overturn a ski jet, which apparently doesn't really happen. I too can do the improbable. Hah.

  • Do you need to pin the last working ostree before rebasing? I guess I want an easy way to switch between working environments without a lot of rebasing.

    Jump

  • Ah, thank you for the write up. I will actually do that because KDE something I know I will like and enjoy more than GNOME once I get past some of the weirdness. Mostly, I want to customize it in certain ways, and while GNOME surely is customizable, it is not as easy as KDE.

    Yeah, rebasing feels like some scifi future tech and I am ready to play. It is like resleeving ala Altered Carbon.

  • Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?

    Jump

  • I know I am reviving an old thread, but my philosophy is that posts are timeless and age should not be a reason not to respond.

    Currently I am in the project of learning Rust and Raku, because I am interested in becoming a better systems programmer and I want to be able to do things for my computer without hitting a wall when a solution does not exist, or simply to master my second home.

    This is a mindset issue. There is a lot of legacy opinions on how to use your computer, but never forget it is YOUR computer. I say never worry about something being portable to others. What you make will be portable to you, and that is all that matters. Make your computer yours. If someone wants to use your computer but can't, isn't that a win?

  • Oh, I am on Fedora Silverblue with Gnome. If it is easy to switch, I think I will give KDE a try!

    I like Gnome, and I definitely need to tweak some behavior I find annoying, but I feel I never gave KDE a proper chance because I seem to mess up the panel whenever I look at it wrong, and have no idea how to get back to default.

  • Lucky me most of the important stuff are things I have on another computer, or can redownload from email or whatever service that needed it.

    But my new passwords.... oh well. Recovery is typically easy.

    What sucks is losing things you did not know you would need or miss until much later.

  • DEs get so wonky if you try to change them. I wish it was easier to compartmentalize an envirionment.

  • Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?

    Jump

  • Hah. That was my strategy, but manually.

    I need to learn backup tools proper.

    Of course, it happens when your data is at its most valuable.

  • Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?

    Jump

  • Yes. I think I am closer to data paranoia... I need a system.

    That sounds nice. Not having a system that becomes terminally broken after a bad decision.

  • Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?

    Jump

  • You are right. I was happy with linux mint, and before that MX Linux. This is all just bike shedding. I spend a lot of time setting things up Hell, I spend too much time just downloading crap because I have not bothered to make a script that would automate installation of the apps I use.

    Yeah, I think I will.

  • Ah. I was in theater tech. No shame to find anywhere.
