You probably shouldn't be using an arch based distro if you want a user friendly experience.

I know there are things like manjaro and even endeavor os that are "arch but easy" but honestly I cannot in good faith recommend anything arch based for ease of use. Arch is a very fast moving distribution that usually has the newest packages but that isn't always good. There will eventually be a problem come up, maybe not often and maybe not that serious but in my personal opinion it's not worth it.

If you are wanting consistent ease of use and access to a lot of packages it's hard to beat the mainstream distros. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, (personal favorite) etc... and if you need something from arch repositories just use distrobox. You get access to all arch packages without the headache.

I've been using Authenticator and haven't really had any issues.

I imported my Aegis codes and they worked no problem

It's very pretty and I could see myself using it but I will stick with breezy weather for now.

I just think this has too much going on and the information is spread out too much. This is all personal preference but I feel that I get a lot more information from breezy quicker.

Cool project tho. Really like the radar

Thank you for posting this week in gnome here

I wouldn't recommend duel booting on one drive.

I've done it before and hated it. As many pointed out windows will just destroy that partition because it wants to.

I'd honestly just stick with windows if you are going to need it.

If you don't need it I'd just wipe the drive and install mint.

Duel booting can work well but usually only on separate drives

Ah cool. This will probably be better for newcomers since they won't have to search for a tiny little "spins" at the bottom of the page.

Kde is probably a lot more familiar to windows users and I know I usually recommend it to people moving over even if I do prefer gnome.

I haven't played an Assassin's Creed game in years and I have no intentions to play the new one. But even I know the worst part of those games is the stupid damn story set in modern times that makes no sense.

WHY AREN'T THEY JUST GAMES SET IN THE PAST. WHY IS IT SIMULATION JUNK. WHAT

I think gnome is working on the same sort of thing, read here.

I'm glad to see both going for an immutable os with flatpaks. It's so much more user friendly for the average person and if you are more technically inclined distrobox makes it a breeze to use it like a regular linux desktop.

I hope both do well

I recommend booting into a live usb and seeing if everything is frozen.

If it does it even on the live usb it may be a hardware issue.

And if it's hardware a lot of things can explain random freezing. I had similar freezing issues and it turned out to be a dying psu

They could have handled announcing this so much better.

Linus fumbled this hard.

I think this is a shortsighted and extremely ill-informed decision.

The "compliance requirments" have still not been explained at all.

Why aren't Americans and israelis being removed from the maintainer list for their active part in a genocide?

But that is my opinion and is all I will say

 

Here is Linus's comment

Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about. It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything. And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing. If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state sponsored spam. As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too.

And about whether or not he is under an NDA

No, but I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to go into the details that I - and other maintainers - were told by lawyers. I'm also not going to start discussing legal issues with random internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have been riled up by them

Disco Elysium. I mean it came out in 2019. But it still counts

 

Do you like roleplaying? Do you like space? Do you like furries?

I have the best game for you SS13/14.

The game takes place on a space station and you, a crewmember, must do your job. Be it cleaning the floors as a janitor, fixing the station as an engineer, ordering supplies as a cargo technician, etc...

Mind you this takes place on a fully staffed spacestation. So you and sometimes up to 100 people are managing and upkeeping a spacestation.

Some examples of what can happen

  • A perfectly calm shift where you meet and interact with a lot of new people while enjoying your job
  • A space dragon invades and sends space carps through portals to destroy the station. You and your fellow crew must work together to eliminate the threat.
  • A revolution! You and your fellow comrades are sick of the treatment from centcomm and revolt. Attempting to kill all of the commanding officers aboard.
  • You become a security officer/fascist. And arrest the station clown for being funny without a license

This game has so many features and is hard to explain. Imagine an actual roleplaying game. That's what this is. A shift can either stall into boredom or be the most fun you've ever had in a game depending on your interactions with other people.

This is my favorite game of all time and I seriously recommend it. SS13 is the original version of the game and has pretty much an infinite amount of content. But its old and aging. I've had so much fun over the years on this version but I've since moved on to the newer implementation.

SS14 is a work in progress remake of the original with a custom engine and modern development practices. My favorite key feature LESS RACISM. Some of 13's most popular servers come from 4chan so.... I recommend 14 to most. It's much more user friendly, is available on steam and in my opinion has much more of a future. It also actually works on linux

SS13

ss14

please try them out. They are free

How does it work?? I have been trying google-fu for probably two hours trying to figure out how exactly you even install sixel. I found libsixel but it seems unmaintained. I just wanna try out images in my terminal. lol. Does anyone have any experience using sixel on linux and is it worth the effort to even setup?
