I used to use VSCodium, but in my quest to touch the mouse as little as possible I switched to Neovim.

Fuck me, when you understand you understand. Way to make me feel old.

I second this. A bare-min install of a majority of distros is going to do you more favors than looking for a distro that is made to be minimal. Honestly, minimal is going to rely more on your DE/WM than distro.

I also agree that Arch is going to require more learning curve if you don’t have any experience with it, but that’s up to you if you want to put time into it. If you do, I’d recommend vanilla Arch or if you want a GUI installer with a lot of DE/WM options then I’d opt for EndeavourOS.

I concur with Void, but that also may have a learning curve. I like Void, but I haven’t tried it myself. I hear nothing but good about Fedora and openSUSE these days, too. I played with NixOS and I really like it, but you will spend months messing with Nixlang before you can really do anything with it (but its really fun to play with).

Builds. Build builds builds. Whether its slowly tailoring your class to a build, or roguelike unlocking items and abilities to build around each run. It’s why I like things such as Diablo, PoE, Last Epoch, Binding of Isaac, Tales of Maj’Eyal, Neverwinter Nights, Baldur’s Gate, etc.

Its also why I was severely disappointed with ArcheAge. And unhappy when I returned to GW2 to find my world bossing combat medic off-meta bleed Warrior pretty much useless. Used to tank boss AoEs to revive downed people using healing shouts and increased revival speed. They nerfed and removed the revival speed node from Warrior and the build lost half it’s function.

Blessed pasta.

I’ve pre-ordered games due to hype a few times and every time I do I get shafted and dev runs with my money. Now I stick to promising EAs. If I pay 20-30 bucks for EA, get some fun out of it and then dev runs at least I got some fun out of it.

Who needs a network stack when you can speak to God on your OS? Isn’t he like… connected to everything anyway?

He’s been so deeply invested in code itself and cloistered in Udemy courses. Trust me, I know how it sounds.

He really doesn’t communicate with others in the business, which right now I think is his downfall. No connections.

He’s the “no distractions and dive into paid resources” type of learner and I’m the “scour the web and find news and free resources” type of learner, but I’m easily distracted.

I once worked with that one person. You know the one, heavy enjoyer of cannabis even on the job. He was THE person. No, let me put it into perspective.

The guy would down a full bottle of cannalean 1k nano THC before work and would come in with a massive 500mg candy in his mouth. This kid would impress old Tommy Chong.

The first thing he’d ever tell you is that he ate human flesh. Apparently, him and a buddy were cooking something and his buddy cut the tip of his finger off on the cutting board. He said that they both stared at it for a long time before my coworker asked, “Can I eat that?” If its true, these guys had to have been blasted.

Shame he was fired for sleeping on the job.

My much brainier than me friend was telling me about the courses he was taking to apply to Oracle. I had to break it to him how far down they’ve fallen, and not to expect anything working for them. He’s smart, but not in the right social channels like the Fediverse to see what the real people are saying.

The Song from Lolnein Its a YouTube vid (noting for all those that want to use their other front ends).

This. I rocked a 3 for 3 years. My inner screen peeled year one. Being a dummy, I thought it would be fine. The inner crease started to peel just a tiny bit after year 2. It was small and still worked great. I got full trade in value for it and my Fold 6 has 0 problems.

Unless you get a factory defect, folding phones are amazing if you’re gentle with opening and closing them

I was just trying to get this working as well. I connected to my TV using KDE and audio came through, but I didn’t find any sort of screen mirroring. I’m not sure how up to date the info is, but I did read that KDE Connect comes with Miracast built in, so if you have access to that it should be an option.

Unfortunately, my TV is an old 2018 Samsung 4k, so I have no access to Miracast to check, so I didn’t dive far enough into it to know for sure. My solution is probably just going to be setting up a Raspberry Pi media build to the TV.

Yeah, that’s strange. Is there any verbose command when making a backup that could help you see what it’s doing after the snapshot in realtime?

Smashing something with a club and and sifting through the pieces to find out why it broke is the best way to learn. Its literally primal human instinct.

As someone who originally fell for that trick, bless them. I’ve since learned how to do it right and became a dirty distrohopper.

Either that or some Linux wizard cast the “every time you get your distro perfectly set up and stable you get bored and install another one” curse on me.

Hmmm… so reading up, Timeshift doesn’t automatically delete manual backups. Have you tried removing your old manual backups and trying again? This is just a hunch, but I feel as though Timeshift is looking through all of your old backups after you manually create a new one in order to apply appropriate tags. I think that’s why it’s telling you that the maximum weekly backups have been exceeded; because its checking every one of them.

Honestly, I’m just getting back into the Linux game after a couple years so I’m probably off, but it couldn’t hurt to delete a majority of your old, unneeded backups and check.

I miss the days when silly slapstick was mixed with subtle adult humor to make a family film for all ages.

My youngest introduction to Mel Brooks was Robin Hood: Men in Tights. I never fully understood the chastity belt bits at first. Call the locksmith!

I thought hard on this (I just like naming things). I came up with gemming. Graphical Environment Management. Unixgems.

It sorta works because customizing your environment is sort of like putting the finishing gems on it.

Maybe a bit plain since I’m only at mediocre level in my Linux journey, but I use my favorite fonts for Kitty. Recursive Mono Linear and then for italics and comments in neovim I use Recursive Mono Casual Italic.

Recursive Linear is so tidy and neat, with just the lightest touch of personality. And Casual keeps that style but tweaks it just ever so slightly to a more comic. And they have sans versions of both as well for everything else.

I also made my own Starship prompt to match my desktop. It runs an easily reconfigurable color palette and uses color coded chevrons to denote different git statuses.
