Home automation - why?

  • This does sounds useful!

    • Switched from Ubuntu to Debian yesterday

    Jump

  • LMDE is really great. Just migrated an old 2013 iMac to it today. Everything works out of the box. Everything easy like you can expect from Mint and stable like on Debian. Difficult not to love.

    The only thing you have to like is Cinnamon.

  • Man, I feel you. Sometimes you just want to get on with your life without babysitting the OS. Debian will stay out of your way and just work. Enjoy it!

    • What was the last time you clicked on an ad?

    Jump

  • I wish you a very nice weekend to you as well!

    Just to add some extra detail, apparently if you look for clothes/shoes the ads are actually legit in the sense that they will just have a display on g@@gle but, if you do want to purchase, clicking will then take you to H&M or what have you. It has been years that ads are non existent for me so I got used to look for the sites where I want to shop but… she taught me that certain people use ads to discover stuff…

    • Distro for 2013 iMac

  • Yes, I also had a positive experience with Ubuntu on a 2012 MacBook Air :)

    • Distro for 2013 iMac

    Jump

  • Just finished the install :) everything worked out of the box with Mint. What an absolute pleasure!

    • Distro for 2013 iMac

    Jump

  • Yeah, the idea is something simple and stable. Stable because I don’t want to babysit the OS (I already do that at work), and simple so my wife can also use it in case of need. She only know windows so anything the comes close in terms of UI is “ok” for her. The real choice was between KDE or cinnamon. Eventually opted for Mint/Debian

  • Nah dude, I never understood why some people get their kicks by being nasty online :)

  • Last time I tried KDE was like 2013… it has been a long time. How does it play with flatpacks designed for gnome?

    • Distro for 2013 iMac

    Jump

  • Oh yeah forgot about Nvidia!!! Is that tricky to get to work on Debian? Possibly easier on Mint LMDE

    • Flathub Grows Past One Million Active Users

  • For some apps this is just annoying. Like on Cryptomator

    • Distro for 2013 iMac

    Jump

  • Yeah I tend to Gnome but was thinking to give this to the wife that is a windows gal ಥ_ಥ she might be better off with cinnamon

    • Distro for 2013 iMac

    Jump

  • Yeah WiFi requires proprietary drivers… it is less of an issue in 2024 as even purist distro like Debian now ship with those. The screen bug sounds annoying though… on which iMac did you experience this?

  • Sorry my autocorrect fucked the sentence 😅 it swapped “my” with you”

    • What site can scan sites for trackers?

    Jump

  • That is because search engines are shittier by the day

  • My girlfriend asked me to whitelist her device on our home network so we can see those on Google as « she needs them to do shopping » Edit: typo

    • Best printers / printer brands?

    Jump

  • Everyone talking about Brother but does the point still stands for the newer models?

    • When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.

    Jump

  • Yeah that is annoying. I get that problem with Cryptomator
