Everyone loves Bazzite, and they’re probably all right, but it did not run very well on my old gaming laptop.
Since people often mention Linux (in general) as being a good OS for older hardware, I thought this anecdote might be a helpful perspective to some.
I tried two or three other distros on that laptop, and they all ran fine as expected. I assume Bazzite has some higher system requirements to power its cool features.

I appreciate the deep dive, but like, I think I’m just a fundamentally different kind of computer user than this person who has an automatic warning on their website telling me to disable all javascript by default.
I’m not saying they’re wrong, just… more invested in security than I am, among other things probably.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•how did you make the switch from reddit to lemmy.. i'm trying to myself but struggling to ngl
2·8 months agoI do this as well. Works great for both serving me the most interesting content and limiting how much time I spend on Lemmy.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People whose parents have become fascist, how are you dealing with it?
10·9 months agoSimilar vibe here. I mourned the loss of the dad I thought I had. Not going to maintain a relationship with the person he is now.
First time I installed Linux was maybe two years ago, and I watched a video that basically told me it’s best to start with something simple and install things as you need them, so I got plain ol Ubuntu.
Well it turns out it’s really hard to get basic shit working when basic shit doesn’t work. I was having some crazy dual monitor problems.
I’ve tried Pop and Endeavor now and I’m much happier.

These comics are always fun to read because as an R user, I only ever hear about how fast python is.
Admittedly, I just make the occasional meme for friends, but Photopea has been a 1:1 replacement for Photoshop for me.
Interested in seeing how well the armed guard equivalent of “the Uber Eats driver who eats your food instead of delivering it” works out for them.

- You are trying to learn a lot of different things at once. I don’t think you’ll find many “coding” experts in the real world, but you will find react experts and flask experts. I think you need to focus on something to get the satisfaction you’re craving. You still might not have found your favorite language/framework/project, so it’s fine to keep searching as well, but I would avoid going around in a circle spending a week barely scratching the surface of the same 5 skills in a cycle.
- You will never stop learning. You will get better, but there will always be something new to learn. Even if 90% of your code works “intentionally” as you say, there will still be 10% that you need to trial and error and stack overflow.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is Lemmy your "main social media app"? If not, which one is it?
2·2 years agoThis is pretty much where I’m at.
Discord is where tight knit social circles are.
Youtube is where I watch content from large creators I follow.
Lemmy is where I can follow public discussions about a variety of topics.I have a Mastodon account and I like the instance, but it unfortunately fails to really deliver any of the 3 things I mentioned above.
Can confirm. I’ve sent csv files to my coworkers, and they’ve tried to tell me that the files I sent were invalid. It’s because they opened up the file in Excel to look at it first, and Excel autosaved the reformatted data.

1·2 years agoYep. Dual booting LTSC and Linux here.
I need to get a bootloader working though. I’ve just been defaulting to Windows for a few months. But I want to spend more time on Linux.

I would expect Gitlab and Codeberg to be the most likely destinations depending on how FOSSy a project is.
I heard someone mention “Tangled” earlier today too which might be new? Unsure. Seems to be an attempt at a federated version control platform.
