I think it’s more about the specsheet than anything else. If Mint works, great! I’m just not too sure how well it will work (It should work well, but is it the best option?).

Linux@lemmy.ml•WTH is happening at the GNOME Foundation ?! - Linux Weekly News
1·4 months agoI think he means the unusually high turnover of Executive Directors over the last few years.
Here’s my .zshrc:

and ~/.config/zsh:
https://gitlab.com/theshatterstone/dotfiles/-/tree/main/.config/zsh
This config uses Starship for a prompt (https://starship.rs/), Homebrew as an extra package manager, and my own custom fetch script at:
https://gitlab.com/theshatterstone/fetch
A lot of it was taken from Luke Smith’s zsh config. Say what you will about him, he’s got a good zsh config. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLEo4OQ-cuQ

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are usingEnglish
7·4 months agoI can confirm I’m a newer user (not a normie) to Nextcloud and I don’t know or really care what it uses because it works so I haven’t had to learn what it is or how to debug it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•System76’s COSMIC Desktop Hits Initial Setup Completion
2·4 months agoYeah, they’re holding back PopOS 24.04 because they want to release it together with COSMIC. Though at this rate, COSMIC will be out not long before 26.04, so idk what they’ll do there.

Linux@lemmy.ml•System76’s COSMIC Desktop Hits Initial Setup Completion
1·4 months agoI agree, and COSMIC aims to reach Mint level and stay there. Settings have continuously improved (like everything else), and the main feature of COSMIC is tiling (regular people don’t care about written-in-Rust or Wayland-only). I can’t wait to see major settings/features appear with the next release, like Night Light. For now, I just want to see it stabilise fully and reach release.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Crafting a retro desktop for old computers (~1GB RAM) the right way
2·4 months agoYeah, I’m waiting for River 0.4.0 and I can’t wait to try it out and hack around with it. I’d love to add “a Custom WM for River” to my project portfolio.

the learning curve for a tiling window manager is too high
I highly doubt they’d go for dwm

Linux@lemmy.ml•WinBoat is a new Linux app to run Windows apps with "seamless integration"
9·4 months agoI can think of one: Excel Macros. If this had come out before May 2022, it would have saved me from needing to dual boot for a single assignment where I needed to do data analysis using Excel just two months after switching to Linux. It was literally around 2 hours of work, or less, and the entire dual boot setup took a similar time.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Systemd's Nuts and Bolts - A Visual Guide to Systemd
44·6 months agoIf you’re a new or intermediate Linux user or sysadmin, you might have felt an odd fascination with the myth of systemd. I invite you to this deep dive into systemd’s nuts and bolts. I’m not gonna beat around the bush: It’s a hairy business, it will be hard, but I promise juicy and satisfying rewards if you keep pumping through this guide.
Let’s start by uncovering the “D” of systemd, the secret sauce that doesn’t get the love it deserves: D-Bus.
Okay, those innuendos have to be intentional!
It isn’t. I’m on PopOS 24.04 Alpha 7 (soon to be Beta 1), because of COSMIC (and because I was having some bugs with Fedora a few months back).
I recently wanted to tinker with a piece of software that wasn’t packaged, and I couldn’t compile it because of outdated libraries. I could return to Fedora specifically to tinker with it but as an ex-distrohopper, I know it isn’t worth the effort.
Even though Fedora or some version of it will likely be my forever distro, I will stick to PopOS for now because I can’t be bothered to distrohop and back up months’ worth of files, including game saves and a ton of stuff in my Downloads directory.

Linux@lemmy.ml•According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.
2·6 months agoSame here tbh, but I never used my Linux device for it in the first place, so…
Especially if you’re using the Chaotic-AUR to get the latest updates ASAP without recompiling (like with the COPR repo on Fedora)
Wait, MX has finally been supplanted by superior options? Unbelievable!
(Still feels like an outlier when you consider actual popularity of distros)

Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE Plasma Mobile — The Dev Log: April 2024 - June 2025
101·6 months agoI REALLY want to try PlaMo, but I wish I could use Mobile Linux on my phone. I can’t, but oh if I could, or if I could run PlaMo on Android, it would’ve been great. I once even “riced” my phone to look like Plasma Mobile.
Autoclicker basically.
Also AutoHotKey exists
