I’ll have a look if i can find something similar to 1 in my area. If I get really desperate I might try 2, thanks ;)

Well, I have none of those (I don’t even own a printer) :D

But you’re right buying the sheets and printing them in a copyshop is probably cheaper than buying individual stickers.

I always wondered where people get their cool stickers from, epspecially the ‘niche ones’ like the Lemmy/Fediverse ones. Like, I found shops for EU/Germany and maybe I’m to stingy, but I don’t want to pay 50€ for 10 Stickers…

You’re joking, right? 🤯

The vicarious cognitive dissonance i feel hurts my brain so much…

Just found out that nazi cretin is actually married to a jewish woman. Like aren’t american nazis antisemetic?

That’s organised religion in a nutshell :P

Provocative Infantile

I think this article is a great analysis of what deep rooted flaws linux desktop distros have, but I think it is a bit disconnected from the average user (obligatory xkcd).

If the average linux user needs a programm they google what they need land on stack overflow telling them to use their package manager to install it.

If the average windows user needs a program/feature, they google it. They klick on the first link and install the first .exe they find. Has anyone you know used the microsoft store?

Or take gaming as another example. The default expirience for online multiplayer games requires kernel level anticheat on windows. This effectively circumvents windows carefully crafted security model for most tripple A online games.

So yes the average linux machine is probably not as secure as a MacOs or windows machine. But the way they are commonly used I highly doubt windows machines are more secure.

LFS where?

Yeah, i like nemo a lot, i use it on my main machine when i need a gui, because it has not as many dependencies as dolphin. And it does not feel as “bloated” as dolphin. It does one thing (be a file explorer) and does well. :)

Ah yeah okay, I see, that would be quite tedious to implement in bash. Everything looks pretty neat. :D

Buuut I just looked at KDE’s search framework filter options (used by dolphin if you press <crtl> + f ) and it seems it is indeed possible to search/filter by exposure time with dolphin or via directly in the cli.

Have you tried RTFM? :P

Jokes aside afaik you could do everything you mentioned with sort, find (with -type f, -printf and -mtime) and grep (filtering via regex with the -e flag).

Alternatively you could try KDE’s file explorer dolphin (or even just its search utility kfind) as a graphical alternative.

My point is switching to linux is not quick or easy, but there are few really impassable roadblocks (games with shitty kernel level anticheat for example) and there is a high likelyhood someone in this community has encountered your problems aswell and migjt even know a solution.

Went down the same route as you until coming to the same conclusion.

The only advice I can offer is to be consistent while configuring across your tools, find something that works for you and stick to it.

For example In my dwm+tmux+nvim dotfiles I use plain hjkl for cursor movement and if i want to move windows/panes i use <shift>, if i want to resize i use <crtl>, Mod keys in tmux and nvim are the function keys (if anyone knows how to get dwm to accept <F1> as modkey let me know lol), etc.

Edit: And oh yes, try to stick to KISS :P I threw away my first set of dotfiles because i used so may useless plugins/patches for nvim and dwm i could not keep trak of all the keybinds in my head.

I mean, how else do you keep biodiversity from returning to this green desert?

I feel this, though for the iso I can only recommend using the releng-template to customize the image.

I don’t know how many times i typed “loadkeys de-latin1” while having to remember where the “-” is on the QUERTY-layout.

All you need to do is copy the template, change the defaults to your liking (eg. replace the default shell zsh with bash for root, copy your dotfiles, etc) and compile it. Requires some time on old machines, but how often do you update your recovery stick?

exfat or fat32 is great for interoperability between linux and windows but has limited functionality under linux.

If you’re using your external drive only under linux, I suggest switching to a filesystem that works better with unix like permissions and special bits.

Also, like others, depending on your use-case I would suggest something with journaling like ext3 or ext4. If you happen to power of your system while writing something to that drive, the fs does not get corrupted/can automatically recover.

For backups with rollback maybe a FS with copy on write and automatic compression like btrfs or zfs would be better.

With btrfs borg backups allows you to create incremental backups of btrfs subvolumes. I use it to backup my home, etc and /subvolumes on my “backup server” (old pc with two raid1 hdds).

I have a friend who administeres backups for his company (afaik ~100-200GB delta per week) and he swears by zfs. I found btrfs simpler though.

We still here for you though. After all linux is love, linux is live. We’re definetly not a cult. Just give it a try. Linux Mint is super beginner friendly, trust me. Just once, you’ll feel better afterwards.

Jokes aside, learning or doing something new (can be, but doesnt have to be linux) won’t make anything better, but maybe make the drudgery of everyday more bearable, imo.

Also even though I hate it, talking about stuff that is on your mind with people irl is like super important and can be really cathartic.

It’s a common misconception to try this in the cd drive. You actually have to insert it in floppy drive slot (nowadays only really old computers have them). You might have to push it in with a bit of force though, because they tend to lock up if you haven’t used them for a while…

Isn’t garlic antibacterial tho? I’m sure it’ll be fine…
