what about redistributability?
what about redistributability?
agreed ubuntu is kinda shit but arch is hard (to setup post-installation) for a new user imo. You should try kde neon or smth which I’d consider to be a nice beginner distro
Potatoes are free hardware though? You can grow them yourself, study the source code, make changes to it and release it for others to use. Pretty sure you can’t do that with most modern computers
librewolf is cool but I think it’s too privacy optimised for the average user, it often doesn’t keep you signed into sites (even with cookies enabled) and the ocsp things can be annoying sometimes
prolly because op just reposted the link from the search engine post from yesterday
The banners are so good
didn’t know about this, I’ll definitely try it out
huh, I thought ddg had its own indexer?
startpage was fine for me
I just went through and tried out a lot of stuff in VMs and live USBs, and switched to an actual install when I got confident enough/was tired of USB boot speeds
maybe it’s just me but I find just doing things myself much more fun and useful than reading guides
i just started out with whatever distro looked the best in promotional pics, which was kde neon in my case (kde neon <3)
imo it’s more important to go with the interesting option (things like kde neon) than the easy option like Mint, at least it’s what gave me the motivation to try things out and learn Linux
I’m like 99% sure this is Apple’s deliberate decision to make it so companies with confidential data throw out their computers rather than recycling them
oooh w series are cool
t430 runs great for me but if you need more (stock) performance maybe the t480?
if you’re changing all your passwords and switching to Linux anyway consider using a free software local password manager like KeepassXC, I use it along with syncthing and it’s great
yeah, and helix spawns a cursor at every match
search in selection is such a cool workflow
wacky resolution lol
how are t410 s? I’ve only really seen people using t430/t430s and t420/t420s
also, what’s that resolution? does that say 1440x960?
pretty sure organic is working on that, I remember there being docs on building with PT data.
I feel the same way but Brodie’s usually fine
