Hahaha true ๐Ÿ˜†

But the scale is too small for now. :/

So reading all of your responses

  • Tested and preinstalled hardware
  • One resource to solve the issue not many
  • Customizablity when needed
  • Easy rollback when something breaks
  • Changing people mindset that Linux isn't for desktops

Does anyone have more?

Why do you care about privacy? in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)
  • Feeling clean
  • Not being exploited
  • Minimalism
  • Less power drain
  • Less data sent
  • Freedom
  • Everything works better and faster
  • I hate spying because they can
  • To be honest also because most people don't care

The only con is convenience.

I've also seen creating there deployment or configuration stack of your choice.

Yeah exactly.

But what about casual usage like office? The option to choose OS preinstalled on the laptops or desktop would be beneficial.

But Microsoft holds its monopolistic grip.

Maybe we are too used to Linux working on anything but with some imperfection.

And yet it again leads to oficial supported hardware.

They are getting closer to this but also I think those projects emerged from being old and unorganized so they want to do it decently.

Yes, but also companies say that Linux support is not worth it (gaining money and spending on the support) compared to - slapping barely working Windows port and call it a day.

For now Linux support is more like pleasant surprise than a official respected thing.

For me it was always a niche that wasn't taken full advantage of.

Let me clarify myself

*It's impossible to get big corporate guys attention so they ship Linux by default and it's clearly tested. For now the Valve, System76, Framework and Tuxedo are exception.

Edit: Also I was keeping in mind corporate entity behind OS.

  • Apple - MacOS
  • Microsoft - Windows
  • ? - Linux

List me what is standardized on Linux.

How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"? (lemmy.ml)
 

Let's say just like for example like MacOS. It's awesome we have so many tools but at the same time lack of some kind of standardization can seem like nothing works and you get overwhelmed. I'm asking for people that want to support Linux or not so tech-savy people.

Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow? (wayland.freedesktop.org)
 

Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it's not easy as "Wayland support? Yes" (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it's not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used

Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

How have you automated configuring your machines in terms of packages and dotfiles so it works cross-distro? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm looking for interesting tools to automate managing packaging and configuring everything automated.

And yeah I know about NixOS but I like to distro hop and experiment so I for now know these:

  • Ansible - automating many machines, using different package names as vars and package managers.
  • Bash - the most native and compatible scripting language that can be.
  • Chezmoi - for dotfiles.

For now that's it. I'm looking forward for your suggestions!

What file systems are you using on your devices and why? (en.wikipedia.org)
 

I want to learn more about file systems from the practical point of view so I know what to expect, how to approach them and what experience positive or negative you had / have.

I found this wikipedia's comparison but I want your hands-on views.

For now my mental list is

  • NTFS - for some reason TVs on USB love these and also Windows + Linux can read and write this
  • Ext4 - solid fs with journaling but Linux specific
  • Btrfs - some modern fs with snapshot capability, Linux specific
  • xfs - servers really like these as they are performant, Linux specific
  • FAT32 - limited but recognizable everywhere
  • exFAT - like FAT32 but less recognizable and less limited

What Are the Best Ideas for Using LineageOS with Root and microG? (github.com)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/17202620

I have OnePlus 7 Pro that I successfully flashed with LineageOS 21 with MicroG. Do you have some interesting apps or ideas to take advantage of it? I thought of some Magisk modules. Maybe someone is more experience than me! This is the spare smartphone, the main one is GrapheneOS, so I don't mind breaking stuff.

For me, it's Factorio.

a game in which you build and maintain factories.

It even has Wayland support!

(Version 1.1.77ยป Fri Mar 03, 2023 3:44 pm)

Graphics

  • Added support for Wayland on Linux. To enable it, set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland in your environment. (thanks to raiguard)

What's yours?

EDIT: Great Linux ports* not like some forced ports that barely work or don't.

Do you have your favorite Linux restoring / data craving tools for Linux? (lemmy.ml)
 

I found these: Scalpel - but no longer maintaned. PhotoRec - but I don't know how well it works with Btrfs.

Maybe you have something better.
