  • this post implies that you download debs from the internet instead of using your distro's package manager

    also last I checked apt hasn't stopped being a cli over the years

  • Debian users try not to tell everyone at every opportunity to use Debian challenge (impossible)

  • FDO is FreeDesktop dot Org, the XDG people

    Vaxry is an asshole (the Hyprland maintainer)

    1. I'd say go for a rolling, maybe do updates on weekends
    2. The students will very likely appreciate the customizability of Plasma or Cinnamon; if you want them to focus on work, GNOME (probably with some extensions) would be better. Tilers are a bad idea, because they take some getting used to
    3. Doesn't really matter, company distros might be paid tho, and that can obviously get expensive
    4. Wayland if your DE has good support (i.e. is GNOME or Plasma), otherwise X
    5. Btrfs' snapshotting capabilities might be useful to rollback the system to something working if the students fuck something up
    6. Immutable without sudo access should be the safest to hand over to people that you don't want to ruin anything
    7. I don't know enough about specific purpose distros

    If you already know Nix, NIxOS would be a good choice

  • don't need an extra guy

  • I'm so glad you can automate QA jobs

  • A concerning amount of Windows users say they're PC users.

  • Yuri though, so good post

  • I think something like

     -
        
    %wheel ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/apt
    
    
      

    should be the right way of disabling the password for apt.

  • They do! /bin has the executables, and /usr/share has everything else.

  • I don't think there really is an easy way to do this. For sure not as easy as reinstalling.

  • obviously a weather app couldn't possibly use your location for anything, must be spyware

  • Thanks, I switched from unconfigured (but working because magic) networkmanager to pure wpa_supplicant on my NixOS system yesterday and I definitely noticed frequent reconnecting.

  • This just in: @gregorum@lemm.ee admits to not knowing what the fediverse is – on the fediverse.

  • I have one with 2, but I rarely need to close them at the same time, and when I do, I just hit Meta+Q twice.

  • That already closes tabs tho

  • Why would you have more than one window per workspace?

  • You clearly don't have a software hoarding problem

  • Mind the version of the wiki you're using. It follows git by default, but you're most likely using 0.38.0.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    showerthoughts is just a place for people who don't have microblogging social media to dump their random thoughts

    Linux @lemmy.ml

    Why is wofi recommended so much?
