Then they need to make apt not work lol

Very true. Snaps are the worst. I don’t even get why Canonical hasn’t decided to just drop them already
Step 1: install Debian
Step 2: install a bunch of packages essentially making it Ubuntu
Here’s hoping it floods the market with really cheap new and used “old” laptops
I just use xTerm… What kinda cool shit is my basic ass missing out on? Legitimately curious lol
Are those just made up numbers by some apple fanboy? How does an OS that’s in pretty much everything not have a larger stake?
I’m honoured lol
Lmao, they can have fun with that. I can’t imagine it being anything decent. A mobile phone equivalent of a DVD Player OS lol
Somebody mentioned I may have been running bpytop, so maybe this whole thing is my bad. I honestly can’t remember what I ran now - I thought it was btop
Oh, you might actually be right there… I’m not sure now I didn’t realize there were alternatives.
I remember trying it a while back when I found a list of fancy looking terminal apps. It was fancy, but it came at the cost of performance.
I’ll have to check it out. I’ve seen kitty mentioned a few times but I’m an oldschool xterm kinda guy lol
My laptop went bonkers trying to run it, maybe I have something misconfigured somewhere. I wanted to like it because it looks great, but I couldn’t because it was seemingly too resource intensive.
I tried btop. It slowed my computer way the fuck down, so I went back to htop
Shouldn’t’ve, obviously lol
Right? I’m thinking “who the frig would willingly choose this of all options‽” 🤣
Aw man, the Intellimouse with the horizontal scrolling, and the Sidewinder joysticks… 🤌
I work with a company who distributes a mix of surface pro and Lenovo Yoga laptops. Right now they’re on Surface pro 7s.
I’ve yet to hear anything good about them over the years and models we’ve handed out. Most of the guys with them call us back to get a Yoga instead.
Idk if this counts but I found my home in a less popular distro, kind of.
I’d tried a few back in the early '00s. While my friends were experimenting with drugs and shit, I was experimenting with Linux distros and virtual machines lmao.
I started with Suse. I’m not too sure what made me switch or where I heard about this one from, but I eventually moved on to Mepis. It was originally rooted in Debian, then moved to Ubuntu before being discontinued.
My good friend at the time was big into Debian. I felt like pure Debian was too much for me to take on as a noob, but I wanted to be able to reach out to him for help now and again when I needed it. Switching to Mepis was pretty much a no-brainer. It was easy enough to get accustomed with. I was still mostly a Windows user, so the transition to KDE was simple. I’m old enough to remember the days of DOS so bumping around a CLI was also not that big of a deal.
The hardest parts were understanding how to install software (the concept of the repository was new to me), and the basic terminal commands. From there I was mostly good.
I remember when Mepis moved to Ubuntu, there were a lot of groans - myself included. But ironically, I’ve been a pretty much dedicated to Ubuntu for my linux stuff for ages. These days I’m running it with i3wm and I have no major complaints.
To be completely honest, though, I still don’t really fully understand the standard file layout… I get it conceptually, but then stuff gets so fragmented - binary files in usr instead of bin, how to track where installed stuff ends up, etc.
I’ll figure it out one day, when I really need to… But that time hasn’t come yet. A quick find
in the terminal always gets me what I need.
No? Those keyboards aren’t even all that great. Why not just buy a mechanical one and call it a day?
Also, what’s wrong with the super key? Especially considering it’s also used in Linux
