What are some things you wish you had known when switching to Linux?

Jump

  • Agreed, and if you're not on KDE then htop will do just fine.

    • A mystery company backed by Silicon Valley billionaires has purchased tens of thousands of acres of land for more than $800 million to build a new city near San Francisco

    Jump

  • Bad bot.

    It seems the spoiler annotation is not working (for me, on liftoff, on android). But also, there's no need to wrap it in spiller tags to begin with.

    I'm looking forward to changing my vote on you. 😍

    • How professional is a @firstname.tld email domain?

    Jump

  • Is this a Slack Wyrm reference I see before me? 😁

    • Russian warship fires warning shots on cargo ship in Black Sea

    Jump

  • Good bot!

    • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

    Jump

  • Oh, interesting. It's rare to find a negative thing about ADW Launcher - this is one of them, as your tip doesn't work for me (long press yields an app management menu).

    Thanks though!

    • An algorithm that shapes objects to cause them to roll down ramps following a desired path

    Jump

  • I want to make an art installation where a trajectoid rolls down a squiggly and very narrow board (as opposed to a broad surface as shown in the video), so it's evident that its quirky shape is particularly appropriate to that exact board.

    • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

    Jump

  • Hmm, I respect your point of view but suspect that it is shaped by your experience. Here's my stereotypical thought: I wonder if you're in the USA. Because to many of us in other parts of the world, y'all are insanely focused on religion. It is not like that everywhere.

    I consider myself an agnostic (don't believe in a higher power), but when confronted with insistent christians I readily pivot into atheism (that a higher power does not and cannot exist).

    It seems to me that many of those who are seen as atheist are "merely" agnostic, and this misinterpretation stems from a fundamental(ist) "if you're not with us you're against us" belief system.

    (upvoted for a good "unpopular opinion" though)

  • Oh wow, your first paragraph will certainly get you in trouble in certain circles - but, more importantly, your second paragraph is as excellent a defusal as I've ever seen.

  • I wish Lemmy apps didn't collapse comments when tapping them - it makes text selection impossible (or rather, it forces you through the 'view source' menu which is ludicrously roundabout for the purpose).

    Jump

  • I sympathise with your history, your point is well made. As for your future, have you considered adopting?

    • Finally migrated back to Firefox today after a multi year user of Chrome.

    Jump

  • Not many of us control what Firefox does, either... 🤷

    • whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether?

    Jump

  • I'm playing a similar game called just "Life". I seem to have misplaced the manual for it which is quite the hurdle because there are no save/restore points.

    It's an open-world game and there are many NPC's, but the few bosses seem randomly placed (at least, I haven't found any pattern to it) and what's worse is that you can't really tell them apart from regular NPC's until you've already engaged them! Got burned by that a fair bit more than once.

    I've considered just starting over but the prospect of losing literally my entire progress... 😬
