Nah. I already did that once and the mrchromebox.tech site even says not to buy a chromebook for Linux. It’s honestly not that great of an experience

Kinda outside my price range. And there’s probably no used devices yet.

I think vim (and other text editors with vim bindings). I’ve gotten so accustomed to the vim way of doing things that I can’t go back

Yep. But this isn’t even the greens party in the picture. It’s “Die Linke” a leftist party. You can see it by a logo on his shirt. I hope they manage to come into the parliament.

My mother uses some software that runs in the browser for her shop. It can print out receipts and scan items. To do these things it has a small “sattelite” application that runs on the system and interacts with the printer and scanner. This software only runs on Windows and Linux doesn’t have drivers for the scanner.

When I switched her over to Linux and found this out in the process I wanted to stop, give up and install windows.

But then I had a stupid idea. I could run the sattelite program in a Windows VM and pass through the USB devices for receipt printer and scanner. The webapp uses requests to localhost:9998 to communicate with the sattelite so I set up a apache server that proxies these requests into the VM. I also prevented the VM from acessing the Interner so Windows doesn’t update and screw everything up.

And it works. It has been in use for a week now and I’ve heard no complaints. I’m just praying to god it doesn’t break

Void calls itself a stable rolling release and I must say I find it pretty stable

My bf is currently on holiday with his parents and he is not out yet so I couldn’t come with and now I really miss him and can’t smooch him TwT

Just don’t use systemd. Use Void Linux and Runit

I am now all-in on bcachefs. I don’t like btrfs, cause you still sometimes read about people loosing their data. I know that might happen with bcachefs too since it’s early days still but fuck it. I like the risk.

Filesystem level compression and encryption are so nice to have.

Yeah it’s alright. I’ve been using Tumbleweed on my Desktop PC for the last few months and I gotta say it’s mid. They do hard drive unlocking in Grub instead of in the initfs which means that only LUKS 1 and with that only the not-so-secure PDKDF is supported, instead of argon2id which is the modern KDF you want to use. This is a small and annoying oversight in the distros security which is why I will not be using it in the future

The HDMI forum is run by big companies so that is not happening, sorry

I’m 20. I don’t feel this way but maybe that’s because it’s been this way since I learned to think. I really hope for a revolution in the US

Hell naw. Left is ok but the right I wouldn’t touch with a stick. You forgot the superiour third option:

(This is Issac Dowling on Youtube check him out he makes cool tech videos and about Linux VR stuff)

Yeah but it’s only for Webkit. Apple Webkit is deliberately neutered so webapps don’t work well with it so that people don’t use them and rather buy “real” apps in the app store

Let’s see how well it works before congratulating. I have a hunch it won’t work well

AI generated?

Depends on if you want to work with existing code. LLMs tend to be good at generating small code snippets but not good at understanding / finding errors in existing code

You can do

ps aux | grep -i <part of process name>

and the PID is in the second column of the output. However for this use case I recommend a process manager like htop or btop
