Linux really has come a long way
  • I’ve used linux for twelve years and am still surprised at how easy some things are, not that things were really even that hard before. The improvements to gaming on Linux are pretty well known now, but even things like recording audio are dead simple now. Outside of the super expensive DAWs, I’d say linux is on par with Mac and windows now, especially with things like yabridge.

  • Your recommendations for (Wayland) tiling window managers? Need some guidance before getting started
  • Sway and hyprland are going to be the main recommendations, especially hyprland because it is pretty feature-rich. I personally have been using River for the last few months, which I’ve been able to completely replicate my five year old bspwm set up with using the rivercarro layout. It’s not as popular, but I’ve really liked it so far.

  • What's the best way to remote into a linux machine?
  • I’ve used it on my pi before I disabled the display manager because I barely used it, but performance was fine. I could log in from my desktop, phone, laptop, another pi, anything really, which was nice to have.

  • Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?
  • I was the same but in 2017. Six years later and I’m still using the same Void install. There’s simply no reason for me to switch, it’s perfect and I have my system tailored exactly to my liking at this point.

  • The Hockey Gods have taken a sympathetic eye to your fandom, and have granted you a redux on one bad on-ice call from the officials. What moment of obvious BS are you fixing?
  • As a Sabres fan, there’s the very obvious one but I’m not so sure I’d go back on it. That Sabres team was dragged kicking and screaming to the finals by Hasek, he was just that good. I’m not super confident they win that series even if it was No Goal.

    On the other hand, I’ve talked before about something I would change. It doesn’t entirely fit this scenario, but the delay of game penalty taken by Campbell at the end of the 2006 ECF very likely cost the Sabres the Cup that year. I think they had a very good chance beating Edmonton that year. If I had my way, a puck going over the glass isn’t an automatic penalty and the Sabres make the final that year, and very possibly winning the Cup.

  • Is there a Linux based OS for public computers, such as at a library or a PC cafe?
  • To your first point, a huge portion of the use library computers get is from people who don’t own or can’t afford their own computer but just need to print government/work/school docs with some minimal document editor. Sure you could run with LibreOffice or something and hope no one cares, but you’re right that most people would freak out if they can’t open something in Word or have to learn how to print something in Gnome/KDE/whatever.

  • [Buffalo Sabres] EIGHT. MORE. YEARS. 😤 We have signed defenseman Rasmus Dahlin to an eight-year contract extension with an AAV of $11 million.
  • I’d say the started to last year (only missed the playoffs by one point), but this needs to be the year they actually are alive.

    Their core is young but won’t be for long. if the goal is to contend during Dahlin and Tage’s contracts, there needs to be big improvements in the standings starting this year.

  • [Buffalo Sabres] EIGHT. MORE. YEARS. 😤 We have signed defenseman Rasmus Dahlin to an eight-year contract extension with an AAV of $11 million.
  • Not so much grow as maintain his current level of play. He was arguably a top five defenseman last year, which is what he’d need to be with this contract.

    He’s elite offensively and has been, but last year he was also excellent defensively, too. If both keep up he should be a Norris nominee multiple times throughout this deal.

  • [Buffalo Sabres] EIGHT. MORE. YEARS. 😤 We have signed defenseman Rasmus Dahlin to an eight-year contract extension with an AAV of $11 million.
  • I’m a Sabres fan so I’m likely biased, but informed.

    The Sabres saved a couple million each on their top 2 centers (Tage and Cozens at $7 mil AAV), so they can afford a couple extra million to ensure their best player is locked up long term through his prime.

    The hope is that they will be contenders during the next seven years when their core is locked up, and they can just get the right complementary pieces with whatever cap is left.

    The only question marks cap-wise will be Power and hopefully Levi. Otherwise all they’ll need to worry about are depth if they’re ever good again.

  • What was the highest mountain you ever climbed and how was the experience?
  • The highest elevation was Cascade Canyon in Grand Teton (~7,000 ft and ~2,000 meters I think). Highest mountain however would Algonquin Peak in the Adirondacks (5,114 ft and 1,558 meters). Definitely my favorite mountain, it just looks like a huge slab of land. Lots of scrambling around the rocky peak with a great view of the surrounding mountains.

  • Vanilla OS 2.0 Alpha Available Now
  • I played around with it in a VM earlier today. I liked the overall feel of it quite a bit, even as someone who prefers not to use gnome. But there are quite a few inconsistencies in using the alpha compared to what’s in the handbook, particularly for installing new packages. I wonder if that’s something that’s still being implemented in Orchid.

    I liked it though, I’ll definitely keep following it.

  • Rick Jeanneret, legendary Sabres broadcaster, dies at 81
  • It’s hard to put into words how amazing it is that every Sabres fan has memories of listening to RJ as a kid. That’s something truly special, Buffalo has been so lucky to listen to him all those years.

    I’m glad he was able to enjoy a full year of retirement with his family, the man worked nearly his entire life. We’ll never see (or hear) another like him.
