It's on my list. Finishing inscryption first. Is it good?

Linux mint Debian edition. I just wanted to properly try cinnamon since I know GNOME isn't for me and I really like KDE. Other options strike me personally as mostly just downgrades to KDE. It's been very easy, absolutely nothing to complain about.
And the best part is I don't update 2000 packages every time I use it lol (it mostly sat in a drawer collecting dust).

I don't know that there's really much difference use wise aside from the lack of updates. Everything largely looks and feels the same. Debian doesn't have YaST obviously, but I never actually used my laptop enough to appreciate it so idk what I'm missing out on there.

No harm in trying stuff out, especially if you don't use your laptop much like I do.

Welcome to Linux :)

I also started with tumbleweed in December, but it didn't play nice with my desktop for some unknown reason so I switched to Fedora. Also didn't make much sense to run a rolling release on my laptop so I just moved to Debian on the laptop and it's been great.
I hope you enjoy your experience. Plenty of very helpful people here and forums to find answers to questions you might have later down the road (or tomorrow if you're anything like me).

I love crosscode so much!

I was literally just looking this up 30 minutes ago. Incredible timing. Thanks for sharing

I made the switch at the start of the year out of curiosity. I had worked for QNX as a student and though that I should have had a better understanding of the system, so I started using WSL for all my programming.

Then joined Lemmy in the summer and that increased my interest in trying it out full time. I was also getting increasingly disappointed with Windows pushing updates for Win11 and features like onedrive.

I've been super happy with it so far. I've gotten way more familiar with my OS and it's been such a huge shift in perspective for me to be able to shape the way the OS works to my workflow rather than the inverse.

Wondering if anyone has an alternative to cursr. That's really the only thing stopping me from making the switch to Wayland full time. I use to make my 2 displays that are different resolutions play nicer

You'll want the nvidia drivers. Nouveau is now usable with AMD cards I think, I'm on nvidia so I'm not 100% sure on that

My favourite book is hands down the scorpio races by maggie stiefvater. I've read that book so many times I've lost count now

Very cool excerpt. Made me think of the witcher quote about lesser evil:

Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.

Somewhat related on windows 11, for some reason teams volume will desync from system volume. I'll put system volume to 0 and still be hearing teams. It's the same audio device being selected. I don't understand why it would ever work that way but here we are

This is a phenomenal read. Thank you for sharing lol

I've been playing pseudoregalia lately and it's been great in short sessions. It's an N64 inspired 3D platformer. The only negative for the short sessions is that you do need to find a save point to quit, but in my experience they're never more than 5 mins away.

I originally had the actual package for my distro. The issue is that it updates and then only provides me with the options of downloading a tar.gz or a deb file. I suppose I could just do a remove/install to get the updates, but I was kinda hoping to avoid having to do that

Hey, I know this has been a while, but hoping you might be able to offer some help with what to do from here. I think this is the offending issue causing the issue (but I don't know for sure). Just wondering if you have any knowledge to share. If not, I can try to dig into this some more solo no problem. This link has the contents of my journalctl log with any mention of discord: https://pastebin.com/f9XGgiq5 Thanks a lot in advance!

I think it may have something to do with the way I have some apps starting up. I'm gonna investigate that further. Thank you for your help

This game is my favourite of all time. The characters in this game are incredible, along with each of the gameplay components. Cannot recommend checking the game out more.

Most games so far I haven't had to tinker with. I just switched a few months ago and it's been smooth sailing. That said, I can't speak to using any photo editing software.

I'm keeping windows on my computer now for a piece of software for programming my non-custom keyboard and other miscellaneous windows only things like updating Xbox controller firmware. But it has been a blast and being able to make the PC work for me instead of the other way around has been an extremely positive experience.

I updated kernel just now and maybe that will fix it. If not, then I will try reading the logs. Any ideas as to what to look for? I looked briefly through journalctl and I wasn't really too sure what to keep an eye out for. I know red is bad, but everything in red that I looked for didn't seem related (mostly networking stuff)

I just did a kernel update. I'm gonna see if that fixes it, but enabling the SSH server is a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion
