feels like an ai image. Something feels uncanny and not quite right

Isn't that a usa flag hanging into frame. Why would a store in Turkey have the usa flag.

Oh god so many notifications. My inbox is flooded. I only expected like 20 replies Lol

Not sure why people are downvoting this person. They aren't wrong that Linux enthusiast threads can make it scary for new users to try Linux out. Unfortunately, I did want to see what Linux enthusiasts are running and why they picked it, which is why I made this thread.

If you are a new user trying to get into Linux, I wouldn't recommend some suggestions in this thread as advice for picking a distro. When I was getting into Linux, I attempted to go straight into DWM/arch because another Linux enthusiast thread said it was great. Needless to say, I had a terrible time.

It doesn't actually matter distro what you pick, so long as you have fun with it and it is useable! :)

I'm surprised by how many people are rocking opensuse in this thread. What made you go with opensuse?

What's fedora like to use? I dont see it mentioned as much as Debian or Arch.

I tried nix actually. Personally, I think it would make a great server os, but I do not enjoy it as a daily driver. I didn't like the fact that I was forced to install everything through nix and couldn't compile software from source.

Does artix only boot without systemd or is it completely systemd-less? If it is systemd-less, how do services like docker work with that?

Such a shame they only research cs and teach new cs students.

Why wrap a CLI tool in a docker container? Wouldn't it be simpler to directly compile nyancat to multiple architectures if the goal is to make it run on all platforms?

Source?

I've tried nix and its just not it. Its got cool ideas tho!

Me too melon. me too.

Its the mathematical term for estimation and constructing new data from existing data. In the context of what you are doing, it's resizing images.

You are doing something called linear interpolation. This works great for shrinking an image. However, have you considered what happens when your ASCII resolution is greater than your image resolution? This is where bilinear and bicubic interpolation come in.

These algorithms are cool but are also massive overkill for your average use case. They only make a different in a very niche use case (when your ASCII resolution is greater than your image, such as pixelart)

Great code! Very cool

That never stopped me

Very cool! Did you consider any other interpolation algorithms?

When storage disconnects while the os is still running, it causes the os to freeze and stop responding to all keyboard inputs. I thought this was similar to OPs issue which is why I suggested it

Check your storage connection! If storage disconnects, your OS will freeze and stop responding to the keyboard. Also, the os won't be able to write any logs because the storage isn't attached. Even power off won't work because the os can't read any files. This feels very similar to your problem.

For me, my motherboard had a faulty drive controller which would randomly stop working and drives would no longer appear connected.

I'm not sure whether you have the same issue as me but it has the same characteristics as mine. Hope this helps!

Oh that is weird? Just to confirm, can you boot into the live USB?

I've been changing my useragent to chrome when I get the adblock popup. I haven't seen any popups while using a chrome user agent. Not sure if it works 100% of the time but I hope it helps!
