I installed KDE a few days ago, I instantly fell in love. I wish I made this switch years ago!

Okay- I’ve installed KDE a few days ago and instantly fell in love with it. I have been missing out, big time!

Arch user here who enjoys Gnome because I started my Linux journey over a decade ago with Ubuntu. Tell me which desktop environment I should be using. Which desktop environment will make me question why I’ve spent so much time with Gnome?

A few years ago, there was potential for dirty looks coming your way if you suggested that you may be using AI for generating code. Soon, it’s going to be frowned upon to boast that you don’t use AI tools (because you’re probably wasting time).

I’m far more efficient with AI tools as a programmer. I love it! 🤷‍♂️

I was looking for this comment. This is it—not AI.

What games are you playing and what hardware are you running?

Linux has come a long way regarding the ability to easily play games made to run on Windows. It’s never been so easy and well performing. However, in my experience, it’s not quite “just works” yet. Yes, some Windows games will “just work,” but for now that’s still the exception to the rule in my experience.

I use Arch btw, with a i9-9900 and an Nvidia RTX 2070. I still have to tweak settings, research what others are tweaking, I have a few hours of research and tinkering invested into stopping up close jitters in VR(still unresolved), my graphic settings have to be lower than normal for decent performance and I do not enjoy the same frames I’ve enjoyed on Windows with this same machine.

I could probably get some better performance squeezed out of these games, but it’s going to cost me time and tinkering.

tl;dr I don’t think we’re in “just works” territory yet, but we’re getting closer and the progress over the recent years has been amazing. I can’t wait to be rid of Windows forever.

For me, Docker has been amazing. It’s probably my single most favorite tool in my tool belt. It has made my life so much easier over the years. It’s far from hell for me! 🐳

Just came back to Debian on my gaming rig after a 4 year hiatus, I’ve missed it.

XP was “the Linux” of Windows releases… 🤘

The French are known to protest like no other.

Okay, so I’m not using an extension in Zed* (but am using vim mode btw)

VS Code at work, Zed at home.

Despite Zed crashing my laptop every once in a while, it’s been a refreshing change-up from VS Code.

I use a vim extension in both btw…

Have you played OpenRA?

Docker enables you to create instances of an operating system running within a “container” which doesn’t access the host computer unless it is explicitly requested. This is done using a Dockerfile, which is a file that describes in detail all of the settings and parameters for said instance of the operating system. This might be packages to install ahead of time, or commands to create users, compile code, execute code, and more.

This instance of an operating system, usually a “server,” is great because you can throw the server away at any time and rebuild it with practically zero effort. It will be just like new. There are many reasons to want to do that; who doesn’t love a fresh install with the bare necessities?

On the surface (and the rabbit hole is deep!), Docker enables you to create an easily repeated formula for building a server so that you don’t get emotionally attached to a server.

In my experience, Ubuntu and Ubuntu variants make for a great daily driver for someone who is new to Linux. When I started to get into Linux, I just found the most Q&A content and support for Ubuntu as I googled my way through it. This plentiful support was specifically geared towards newcomers, which I felt the other Linux communities lacked in comparison.

It looks more like the dev felt the PR being introduced was purely for political reasons, which he disliked. I’m not saying I agree with the dev, but you’ve stated he “had a public freakout over the idea that women exist” and that doesn’t appear to be the case here.

Consider that claims like yours, and the responses to his rejection of the PR, probably only strengthened his belief of the PR’s intent.
