Arch, btw

(Kubuntu rly ;P)

Or systemctl reboot!

I finally got Docker Desktop to work over the weekend, after months of not being able to sign in - from a browser or CLI.

Some GUIs are nice. I prefer GUIs to CLI. But some GUIs aren’t as usable as CLI

Ahh, that’s right. It’s Arch, not Fedora.

I’ll make the edit! Thanks

TL;DR: Ubuntu + KDE Plasma (=Kubuntu) + X11 (Wayland fucks with my Firefox)

First thing to acknowledge about Linux is that you have 2 choices in front of you about how you want to configure your operating system:

Distro, and desktop environment.

A distro or distribution for short is the part of the operating system that runs programs, updates them, etc. A distro like Ubuntu will incorporate different code syntactically than another distro like Fedora, but will largely perform the same actions. For instance, to update all of your apps/programs in Ubuntu, you would run sudo apt-get update. To do the same thing in Fedora, you would run sudo dnf update. Other than that, different distros might be optimized for some things over others. Bazzite and SteamOS are distros that optimize for gaming, while Debian is optimized for long-term stability for things like servers.

Desktop environment (DE) on the other hand is all about what you see on your screen. It’s the visual portion of your operating system. In my opinion, the choice of DE for you comes down to what’s comfortable to use and/or what you grew up with previously. So if you grew up using Windows computers, then DEs like KDE Plasma or Cinnamon would work for you. If you grew up on Mac computers instead, Gnome would be your best choice.

For me, I got exposed to Linux with my Steam Deck, so I wanted to mirror the Deck’s Desktop Mode on my laptop. The Steam Deck uses Fedora Arch as the distro and KDE Plasma as the DE. I changed the distro for my new Framework laptop to Ubuntu because I’m more familiar with that, having used Ubuntu computers in middle and high school and dabbling with Ubuntu virtual machines on Windows in the past. KDE Plasma is chill because it reminds me of Windows the most.

And of course, distro and DE aren’t the only choices you have on Linux… You have your display server engine like X11 or Wayland, and the seemingly limitless assortment of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) alternatives to your favorite apps/programs on Windows/Mac/Android/iOS.

Edit: Steam Deck uses the Arch distro instead of Fedora.

You should be able to play Fortnite through Heroic Launcher. COD, can’t help ya

Anything to cope, and bury rebellion assent

Just because it isn’t capable of causing any meaningful change doesn’t mean it’s useless.

I see a lot of folks on .ml and .hexbear not understand this part. It’s like all change must be meaningful, and if it’s not then it’s not worth our time.

Lenin taught us that we need to build within the system of the masses in order to tip them over, not overturn it outright. There is a specific time and place for when change is the most impactful

The “g” in “doing” on the left side of the artwork is backwards.

Could be other artifacts that don’t seem right

Ngl, been waiting to see more back and forths from the both of you!

We have to break through liberals’ woke mind virus someday /s

Pine64 discontinued the PinePhone Pro unfortunately

Is that not Kubuntu?

KDE Plasma + Ubuntu = Kubuntu?

KDE Plasma on Ubuntu is a dream!!!

Washington State does this well too. Almost every bin you see, from downtown Seattle to upstate near Victoria to Mount Rainier, everything is separated by trash, metal, and paper

Kubuntu FTW!!!

Welcome in! Enjoy your stay.

All I’ll say is that Lemmy is smaller than Reddit, so naturally a lot of convos default to politics and tech.

Because of that though, you’ll be exposed to potentially new ideas regarding both. So be open minded! But also know that you can block users, communities, and instances if you find them unbearable.

Cheers

Fair

How would you make it better?

That’s exactly what I was referencing haha, tried to make the analogy work. Might need to smooth out the edges in a few places
