  • What's a Linux distro thats breaks the windows mold and is good for testing?

    Jump

  • Did you read my post like at all?

    I meant something that breaks the traditional windows environment. Stuff outside xfce , cinnamon and kde. gnome doesn't work for me on keyboard and mouse. I want a distro to mess around with, not distro to settle on, i am fine on linux mint as is, just wanted to try a distro as a side hobby

  • My bad, phrases that badly. I meant to avoid i3

  • how much storage space does an immutable Distro need in the long run?

    Jump

  • I keep getting "No such file or directory" and " Permission denied" on directories "/pro" and "/run". I am assuming those are the partitions of the HDD, either way, i got 193 GB but its not down broken down into sections. i am also wondering if it counted the HDD storage space in the total storage used.

    Linux mint does have Disk Usage Analyzer where i got the storage spaced breakdown from. the size of / directory is 117 GB, 48 of which is Timeshift snapshots, so 67 GB of used space out of 240 GB SSD.

  • I didn't phrase that right. It filled to over 90% of the 180 GB SSD. Had move distos right away

  • If you’re talking about containerized software

    do you mean Flathub or something like docker/distrobox. I remember using toolbox for some CLI commands.

  • It depends on where that storage was used. Some details would be useful.

    Linux mint 240 SSD is free 152 GB. The SSD includes home directory(28 GB) and Swap file(17 GB)

    I have an 500 GB HDD that has 20 GB important files. I plan on keeping a copy on the 240 SSD and want the immutable allow twice that sizes(40 GB).

    I don't plan on playing any games but i do plan on trying out some video and photo editing, nothing too big.

  • I lost the thing I was going to put away after 6 months.

  • Sure There are for all three but depending on the system that can change too and most of them can be grouped together. If this is something that interests you, i would suggest you pick two systems and try them out. Really thought this is more a manifestation of my anxiety than anything practical, i have been stuck writing and rewriting systems for a week. I still think there is value in making a brief system for one or two parts of your life

    Lab system:

    tools and places for messing around; special partitions, virtual machines and new OSs on other ssd

    Library system:

    book tracking,review site, forums for discussing/recommendation/book clubs/ebook readers, ways to sync and where to get books

    Cinema system:

    where to watch, tracker for show and movies,review site, forums

    Threat level system:

    essentially what data you want to protect and from whom and tools you use

    Social system:

    what social medias do you use and where do you spend your time, what communities are you looking for online and which are available offline, support systems, both online and offline

    Share system:

    tools for sharing stuff and what not to share, collaboration tools

    Legal system:

    was exposed to CSAM for the second in time in my life a few weeks back and decided i need the tools to report it, that's not really something talked about much when it comes to online safely

    Convince Convenience system: Convince

    what changes can you make around you that would cost you a little more (i.e better shaving tools, changing the shower head if its too short, using smaller spoons for measuring) that would make your life easier. Its note really a system, think of it more of a List of proposed changes

    Digital identity system:

    most of us use multiple social media accounts and have different identities(i.e what to share) for each one. there is also the question which accounts to link if thats something you want

    here is a Template i came up with

    Name System

    -Toolbox

    -Ideas List

    -work flow(for something like steps for backups)

    -check list(can have recurring task e.g backups)

    -communities

  • Pick one

  • definitely a 2. Been having the cringas lately.

  • What are you doing to reduce overwhelm?

  • Consuming a full jar of coffee in 3 days to feel like I am doing something productive

  • Didn't even know there were gloves, and like why? Is petrol toxic over time or something?

  • What does your anxiety taste like and where do u taste it?

    Jump

  • Hi for some reason, i write like i am having a stroke, sorry for that. still not sure how to communicate the type of taste though

  • I lost the thing I was going to put away after 6 months.

    Jump

  • I been having the ocds lately. I keep wanting to catalogue everything i have from Digital to Physical

    even came up with the idea that everything, objects and actions, can categories into systems:

    Systems

    • File system
    • Partition system
    • Backup system
    • Lab system
    • Task manager system
    • Note taking system
    • Library system
    • Cinema system
    • health system
    • Learning system
    • Contact, calendar,task manager and email system
    • Social system
    • Threat level system
    • Emergency system
    • Contact system
    • Journal system
    • Share system
    • internet data quota management system
    • Paper document management system(and its backup)
    • Home economics system
    • Savings system
    • Research system
    • Browser system
    • App (web vs mobile vs PC) system
    • Archive system
    • Time management system
    • Security system
    • Legal system
    • Safety system
    • Convince system
    • Hygiene system
    • Tool system
    • Digital Storage system
    • Linux system
    • cleaning systems
    • organization system
    • inventory system
    • de-cluttering system
    • digital identity system
    • account system
    • writing system
    • social media posting system
    • review system

    And you can further group and fuse systems but keeping a record of your every breath is its own hell.

    I never let my drawers get cluttered though, unlike my mom. I even go through it with her to organize and de-clutter(for context: this specific drawer doesn't contain clothes or her own personal stuff, like screw drivers, hammers, blood glucose meters, first-aid stuff, balance meters etc, making it a mini-storage unit of the house). I even label my own drawers.

  • So I was just thinking about the concept of internet shutdowns... I realize I kinda have an internet addiction problem...

  • Haven't to me in Sudan for a me, and yes it is an addiction, but you do cope, its just you keep reaching for the phone, sometimes without realizing it.

    Also it's fucking boring
