  • Good time to install Linux and switch for good. You'll save thousands of dollars over your lifetime if you stop buying Apple.

    • What are some good FOSS fitness/weight/health apps?

  • Like the other commentor- I also tried hard to use wger but it was just too unintuitive. I switched to Liftosaur and love it for making a weight lifting routine easy to design and track:

    I did test self hosting it and it's not too bad, but just switched to my iPad and subscribing for the premium because the auto calculating the plates for each lift saves me a lot of time and I feel good supporting this developer.

    • Enterprise Linux on desktop?

    Jump

  • I run RHEL on my personal desktop and laptop. Why? Because I use it at work and the more I use it the better I understand it. This benefits me both at home and at work. I've even built Ansible roles and playbooks in git to setup my home machines. Overkill? Sure, but I have great peace if mind if I lose a boot drive that I'll be right back to normal quickly.

    You can absolutely use an enterprise distro at home. Ignore the trolls about "It's all too old" or "it doesn't have X software". I don't care what version vim, GNOME or pretty much anything is, as long as I can open the core tools I need. For "missing" software: I've yet to find any software I "need" that I haven't figured out how to install (again: Ansible-d) including Flatpak for all the normie stuff (spotify, slack, discord, etc) and I'm golden.

  • 'Best for what?' is the issue with this never-ending pointless discussion.

    RHEL is a fantastic distro... For some things. It's also a horrible distro... For other things.

  • Wait.

    So the average temperature fluctuates between 86F in summer to 73F in winter, surrounded by beaches AND they can ignore most of the world?

    I'm jealous.

    • Snap store from Canonical (Ubuntu) hit with another crypto scam app

    Jump

  • I hate them because they make Ubuntu useless for a desktop in an enterprise environment. Snaps have a bug where they will NOT open with a network home directory, which is common for a business ... And now they've made Firefox snap only.

    So for a business environment: you can't even open the included web browser. WTF?

    Do you understand now?

    • First Look at Ubuntu’s New ‘Desktop Security Center’

    Jump

  • Hey Canonical, how about you spend that effort fixing (or removing) snap instead?

    I still can't open the default Firefox install when using NFS home directories with autofs.

    Ubuntu is now almost useless in an actual business desktop environment.

  • They probably realized snaps are garbage and are still trying to desperately un-garbage them before the release.

  • Yup. Got the pop-up about being out of free articles. Opened a browser I never use (with no ad blocker... Cause I never use it) so I got to experience the site with ads.

    The entire experience was hilariously ironic to read about service's enshitification... While being bombarded with constant ad garbage.

    Bye bye wired. That was a waste of my time.

    • Do new patches that are incorporated in the "stable tree" of older kernel versions make it back into the distros?

    Jump

  • The distro you're using and the model of laptop and a link to the bug/commit would make it easier to answer what you can expect.

    • The magic behind configure, make, make install - How it works in Unix

    Jump

  • You assume everyone has root.

    On a system I don't administer, I can compile and install software in my home directory (or shared directories that I have write access) by using:

    ./configure --PREFIX=/home/myuser/software/

    make # to compile

    make install #without sudo, to install to ~/software/bin

    So when you say "only in (B)LFS", you're overlooking a VERY common use case - especially in HPC and other systems NOT running on my desk/lap.

  • Wouldn't the larger ones be the ones you'd get the most benefit from compiling?

  • For the uninitiated, does "gen" imply source/compilation somehow?

    • What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

  • On 22.04 LTS, you can't even open Firefox if you're using NFS/Autofs home directories.

    How is that not taken seriously as a major bug?
