I've never tried Gentoo, but honestly been looking into it for quite some time. I just don't see any benefit (therefore have no motivation) to try it. Prove me wrong, tell me why I should use Gentoo instead of Arch Linux?
Personally I only see disadvantages. I need package? Most of them are available in official repos or Flatpaks, if not - AUR. Does Gentoo have something similar and as powerful as AUR?
I think user asked for a small factor PC, just like intel nuc. IMO intel nuc is a perfect PC for a work desktop. They can even mount on the back of the monitor - excellent feature. Not sure if any other brand has such feature.
This is healther alternative to smoking and way easier to quit.
Quiting is relatively easy if done the right way - add less and less nicotine shot to each bottle until you start forgetting your vape. For example, go from 3mg/ml to 0mg/ml in the period of 6 months.
Lmao your situation is kind of forced onto me 😅 My Pixel's USB-C port is broken. Using wireless charger from IKEA is the only way to charge my phone at the moment. Still waiting for more powerful charger and port replacement part from AliExpress. 👌
Try Arch Linux. First setup in VM, then on your computer. Been ~8 years on it. Tried to distrohop multiple times - still going back to it.
Plasma is awesome DE which requires bare minimum setup. plasma package pulls basically everything - bluetooth, pipewire, sddm and so on. Then you just have to enable sddm/bluetooth services are you are done.
Fixing broken system is also very easy. :) Just try, don't be shy!
It depends. Kind of prefer Flatpaks as they are always working as expected on any distro, but some of them are giving me just too much struggle.
For example, dealing with sandboxing, or especially VSS code app. Yes, there are instructions, but then I install Golang SDK via Flatpaks the hard way (using CLI) for Go development, then having a nightmare trying to setup everything in vss code. Then how tf should I access go binary within my host terminal?
On Arch Linux I just tend to install from official repos, while the rest of apps - from Flatpaks.
Personally I don't like the way they are sandboxed, bit as long as it works I am fine.
Seriously, there might be a debate of what printer company is better, but there is no debate which one is worst. It's HP. 😅 They are so bad that they have no competitors of the worst fucking printer company. xD
Myself I got Brother printer. Works like a charm, no bullshits. People on Reddit also highly recommend this brand too. Totally agree.
Unpopular opinion: everyone focuses on productivity, then on features. Literally zero consideration for performance. Also lack of customization. I can flash Linux, hackintosh or any other random OS on any laptop I buy, but not on smartphone...
Kind of sucks that my Cat S62 Pro smartphone suck ass with it's slowness and lags and I can blame Cat as a manufacturer for that, but lack of standards (so I can flash generic OS onto it simply sucks).
So I am forced to buy new phone every 1-2 years because it gets slow... 🤷
Oh wait! Batteries are not replaceable! USB-C port is also incresibly hard to change!
In the company I work, we have to use jumpbox + "password" from proprietary code generator.
Imagine going through this, then you suddenly need 2nd terminal. Inconvenience doing it again in another terminal?
Well, there is a solution:
tmux
CTRL+B then ".
And now you have 2 terminals.
Also tmux is great for "quick solution" kind of things - to leave something running in the background. Talking about background - you can have many terminals open, from only 1 SSH session. :)
Been encouraging everyone to use Telegram. To me it's the best messaging app I found, mostly in every possible way.
I have no idea who uses Whatsapp, boomers sometimes tend to use Viber, some random people have Signal (i no longer use it lol) and some people also use FB Messenger.
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
