People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?
  • I totally see your point and I tried GNOME first to have a uniquely Linux experience. I do agree with you. But the inflexibility of GNOME by default made it a much harder flip. I tried it with PopOS too, after using Debian for a while.

    Plus tbh, I don't think with still how much you need to use the terminal for linux, anyone would be mistaken in the transition. Windows has kludge from the 90s for their settings and linux still needs terminal.

  • I tried PopOS and the pop store is not the best, and gnome is too foreign for someone coming from windows.

    And also, too fiddly to make it work with a number of third party extensions vs the customization being built in.

    KDE is heavier but also seems more streamlined and Cinnamon is fairly decent too.

  • If it works, kill it.
  • How else are they gonna half ass implement that into youtube and make that shit bloated af.

    It has long form content, Tiktok clone, Main music delivery system, Twitch clone, And now, Podcasts.

  • How to Escape From the Iron Age?
  • There's usually an interface material when using resisitive heat. And there's heat loss from heating the interface material before the heat getting to the actual material that needs to be heated.

    Inductive heating can be applied directly without heating the interface material.

    Though this is probably more applicable to cooking vs industrial kilns and furnaces.

  • Canada plans big rise in R&D and education funding
  • I have a fairly cushy IT job, and I don't see many jobs that aren't managerial that the tax would affect. Enough to the point of it causing a brain drain, which wouldn't already have happened due to other reasons.

  • Linux hits 4% on the desktop 🐧 📈
  • Copied from another comment I made

    " I have a home server on debian and after a bit of setup woes(partly linux still being so reliant on CLI, partly my inexperience with it), it's been running super smoothly. Have multiple dockers and it has been a joy. And same for the steam deck, it just works. Some glitches here and there with controller support but that's just PC gaming. But I installed it on my laptop as well and that was a shitshow. All biometrics wouldn't work, wifi kept dropping in and out, phantom touches now and then. Sure I could have done some cli technical wizardry but I gave up after trying to make it work half as smoothly on my workflow as in windows. And the windows 11 on it is utter garbage. Partly this is manufacturing not having linux drivers available and partly it is linux just not having guis for essential functions. Hope steam is able to have enough of a push to get much needed consumer friendly guis for more system functions. "

  • Linux hits 4% on the desktop 🐧 📈
  • As someone who has tried it on multiple devices in recent years, it still isn't smooth enough. And I've been assembling computers for 2 decades now. So not entirely technically illiterate, but just not adept in linux. Definitely heavily reliant on use cases for how smooth the experience is. The server side is very well developed with years of linux leaning heavier on that side, but the splintering of frontend has a bit of an android effect. Lots of really cool things but still some jank that you can't get rid of.

  • Exactly this. To both points actually. I have a home server on debian and after a bit of setup woes(partly linux still being so reliant on CLI, partly my inexperience with it), it's been running super smoothly.
