I do know that, that’s why I use FF.
But the sentence would be a lot longer if O wrote something along the lines of “To try if the website doesn’t adhere to the official web standards instead of googles own, which brave uses, since it (like most browsers nowadays) is built on top of chromium unlike Firefox, which uses the gecko engine to render websites.”
Hi there, I use nearly all the stuff you do and I am on Linux for like 2-3 years now.
I use PopOS. PopOS is a distro with a user interface that differs a bit from windows. But you will get used to it, its not like on Linux “up” is “down”.
PopOS has a lot of programs preinstalled, that help “normal users”. This includes drivers for Nvidia-GPUs and Flatpak which is a way to install software on all Linux-Systems opposed to the normal package managers, distros ship with, Flarpak e.g. has Spotify and Discord. But other distros might ship it too and you can definitely install it later on.
What you should definitely learn to use is the software-center (or App store or whatever some distros call it). This is a central place, where most software can be found and installed. Also all software installed through it can be updated here. So it’s in a way like steam for all the non-games.
I currently use (natively, so no web app or smth):
Libreoffice is enough for day to day usage, if you are no power user with VBA-Scripts or mayor macros.
Games work mostly well, but as others have said, look at ProtonDB to check your specific Steam-Games. I mostly play single player titles or PvE stuff without the need for anticheat. Nearly all those titles work.
If a game is not on steam, you can check lutris. Lutris has install scripts for a lot of Battle.net games as well as GoG among others. There is also the heroic games launcher, but you don’t need to know all that yet.
PS: The great thing about Lemmy is that you don’t have to ask your friend, you can ask here.
PPS: If you plan to game on your PC, may I suggest some games? (All work well for me, of course)
Dwarf fortress - is a city builder/sims-like game, on steam for money or on the official website for free, but with less art.
Core Keeper - a small Indy game about digging, crafting and fighting
Deep Rock Galactic - a first person shooter with mining and fighting bugs
Factorio - an THE automation game
Disco Elysium - probably the best RPG/Detective game ever
The Long journey home - a space exploration rogue-like
Freedom as in “the freedom to drink your own gasolin in your home”.
Which is kinda sad in its own way.
How do you have 25 upvotes? Everything you wrote is wrong.
Linus said, that the rust infrastructure is not stable, is positive about AIs future and happy, that NVIDIA had to step up their open source game.
And even the interviewer mentioned, that the “I only care about the kernel” quote WILL be taken out of context.
And he answered even implied questions…
Linux is a tool. And I find that the best way to learn handling a new tool is making a project with it.
A book is (maybe) fine, but a project will help you use your knoweldge while you gain it.
So set up a Lemmy/Minetest/Matrix/Teamspeak server or write a bash script to change your audio output device/volume or program a simple bot in your favorite programming language or mix some music or gather a bunch of PDFs and search through them and concatenate them
And while you do that and create directories, change permissions, move files, create users or “cat” or “grep” or “sed” stuff, find out, what every single line you write in a terminal does. And instead of using a graphical program to move files, shutdown your PC or update all programs, only use the command line.
This will help you in the long run.
I don’t think he will get that joke.
At the top level poster: you wrote “two” instead of “too”.
Fuzzel is a rofi alternative for Wayland.
This is just a Monthy Python sketch, right?
I mean you do you, but having a “!=” become a “≠” is kinda nice, as are some other = symbols like >= becoming ≥ etc.
Most fonts also allow you to turn of groups of ligatures, that you don’t like. E.g. I never liked “/>” becoming a combined character.
So I don’t see the hate about “fixed width ligatures”.
Okay, that is fair, but since I also program in terminals using held in or (neo)vim, ligatures are a must have for me.
Plus some nerd fonts even upgrade regular loading animations of some cli-tools.
Imagine having only one big task (displaying text) and not even supporting ligatures.
I absolutely hate people naming their program with a word that existed before. At least call it Allpaca ffs. How should I search for errors or stuff in general?
Funny enough, the regedit of my work PC was already there with the value set (seems like I already did that a few weeks ago)…
Startmenu is still slower than my personal Linux machine.
Ask yourself, how italic text should look.
Do you want another fonts italic style? Do you want Fira Mono on non-italic?
Then input that into the config.
Alacritty may have a fallback in place, if italic is left out, but I am not quite sure, since I use wezterm for its better display capabilities of font ligatures.
Not only that. Opening the same file again, opens it in a new tab ffs. I noticed this, when my ssh-config file (which has no file extension and is thus not linked to a program) had like 10 tabs open… Why would someone do that?
I mean tabs are fine, I guess, but this shit?
Thst depends in a lot of things.
What do you mean with “PC”? Is a smartphone a PC? Is a steamdeck a PC? The Laptop of a government employee? A Raspberry Pi? What about a TV-box or an e-reader?
Because if you mean in general on non-server hardware it’s probably some weird Chinese/indian fork for their government PCs.
Otherwise it could be Arch due to the steam decks, but then again it depends on how tightly you define “distribution”. As others have mentioned, is Xubuntu their own distribution or does it count as Ubuntu? What is Mint/Pop!_OS?
But no matter what, it’s not MX Linux.
Why not just fire the automation if chrome plays sound, like at all?

10 years old and greater than ever.
Also the Fairphone 3 is already 4 years old. So they only need to “be here” another 3 years.
