I guess, I have too many (new) songs in my playlist. Would I otherwise get in a programming tunnel easier?

Yes, I know, there is music for programming, but it is all new to me, hence too exciting and I get distracted. I have to test things.

I thought so, too. This has so much potential.

Thx both of you. This meme seems to tell only one side of the story, but it seems to be very true.

Btw., you don’t have to live in the US to experience police violence. I called the cops once to protect me from another cop.

Does it also restore the content of unsaved files of the application? If not, I’ll prefer systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for. Gnome had it in the past, MacOS has it, but I don’t see what the use case is.

I whish they would stream it somewhere in 4K, because I already own this as VHS and DVD.

Try Niri (a linear window manager), I have tried it already for a short time on a seperate computer. It is very good! I just not got around configuring it for my main machine, yet.

And I need to test how well Xwayland works, because I need it for Steam and some games.

Did they not have a way of installing binaries more easily? I could be confusing it with another derivate of Gentoo.

Anyway, Gentoo has now a binary repo to speed up updates for some packages. No need to try NixOS or Gentoo forks anymore. (:

You could try Niri. I have tested it with a ~10 year old notebook with a 1st gen Core i5 cpu.

But, even newest Gnome runs smooth on this machine.

Even on Windows I try to avoid Powershell. I use bash through GitBash there, too. But, I don’t mind using Powershell for work, because some workflows are already implemented in ps1-scripts.

It is a bit sad, too!

It is nice to see improvements to the file chooser, but why do buttons look so different from all other buttons in Gnome? What was wrong with the less rounded buttons?

Sheeps are cute!

Had to do this on Win11, it worked.

If you don’t play the latest game titles with DRM you should be good to go on Linux: Steam runs great in a flatpak sandbox.

I don’t know how compatible mono is with dotnet. Interestingly, some game launchers need it and protontricks can handle many issues. Have look at protondb. Back to work: Someone needs to confirm whether MSSQL server can be run on Linux, but I am almost sure that you won’t be able to run the gui of it. But you can connect to it using DBeaver (Java-based) or a VSCode plugin. As for C# development on Linux, I don’t know.

I wish I could switch to Linux at work, too, but standardization of work environments seems to be the problem. I would even consider Ubuntu 22.04 LTS if my employer woul allow it. Last time I asked, time was the real reason. Time savings in the long run, currently don’t matter. I will ask later and if they still tell me, it’s too risky, I will look elsewhere.

Our dev setup doesn’t even have the constraints you have for your work. It is all docker-based with Ubuntu Linux containers. It would run faster on Linux even if we could switch to WSL2. And I would argue, that Linux is more standardized than Windows.

I hope you get your stuff running on Linux; market share needs to go up so that all the managers don’t fear it. (:

“I’l have …” - No, you don’t. You may get it, if you ask for it. I hate when people use that snobby way of stating that they already have what they trying to get!

For some stuff I had more luck using ChatGPT and crosscheck using DuckDuckGo.

Pack your lunch in the evening before, then. Works for me!

On the desktop I am safe from most ads, but on mobile some pages are more pain than others.

This website consists only of ads, why bother sharing it?

That does not explain the dangerous part.

I would argue, that on Arch I can get a fancy update with a bug even if I only update every week, and I may have to live with it longer if I stick to weekly updates.

With this logic, it is always dangerous to update Arch, if you don’t look what is coming in. I know, that Arch is not that unstable it used to be. But people seem to warn about Arch updates, still. I wonder how the situation really is. I will never know for my self, because I will not install Arch again, anytime soon.

And I don’t agree that updating a rolling distro daily is per se dangerous. You can do that with Gentoo if you don’t unmask unstable (~arch) keywords and follow the news provided with eselect. I can even mask stable updates if I am not ready to deal with them yet.
