I really hope China doesn’t legitimately try to take Taiwan someday. Would be a terrible day for Earth.

Does it not run in a virtual machine very well or at all?

Serious question: I’ve been using Krita to mess around with the tablet, but are there any good reasons to learn GIMP coming from a photoshop background all these years, given that I also know Krita somewhat?

Show me on the doll where you let advertisers touch you. I suspect it’s most all of your orifices?

I have embraced firefox as my primary browser now. I have a few remaining cookies on chrome that I have to re-establish in FF, and then I can’t even imagine any reason I’d even need to use chrome again other than some obscure internal web app that I can spin up on a throwaway virtual machine.

I’m a ham radio guy, so I’m licensed by the FCC to transmit 1500 watts in the ham bands. Talk about a flashlight glowing. It’s on my todo list to make a good antenna for directional finding of signals.

I’ve done a lot of bluetooth work and know how terrible it is as a protocol, but do you see any issues with only using it for a speaker/earphone, assuming no other devices even within a valid proximity of the transceiver? If nothing can hijack or manipulate or listen to the session, is it that insecure? I disable it and use wired earbuds when I’m mobile for that reason.

Oh my God the more I use it the more amazing it is already. The customization in the Plasma appearance settings is exactly what I’ve missed this whole time. I feel like I’ve wasted all these years now. Better late than never I s’pose.

So if someone starts using EndeavorOS daily, can they claim to be an arch user? Edit: I’m now wiping my laptop clean and using it as my daily driver from now on. This is probably my first experience with Plasma, and I am loving it way more than gnome so far.

It’s been my primary desktop for about 7 years now, at least. Ubuntu + gnome, tweaked and extended a bit. It’s difficult to boot into windows even for gaming at this point.

God I love lemmy, I would have probably never known about EndeavorOS otherwise. Time to fire up a vbox VM and give this thing a whirl.

It has changed part of my life. Unbelievably fast indexing. Not super related to command history, but the hotkey reminded me of it.

Reminds me of the adage “you didn’t pay me $5,000 for turning that bolt. You paid me $5,000 because I knew which bolt to turn.” Experience and knowledge is valuable.

We really need more marketing of Linux itself. I run ubuntu and run Cyberpunk 2077 natively, with a wireless gamepad… It’s all out of the box, I don’t know why people are afraid of it?

Edit: It does take about 30 seconds to load things into VRAM, but still worth all of it.
