I’ve been using Linux desktop as a daily driver for a little under 10 years now and I’m still discovering ways I could be doing things better. There isn’t some magic tutorial that somebody can give you here which will suddenly have you as competent with Linux as you are with Windows. Try things, break things, when things break, look into what you can do to fix them. Keep system snapshots and backups of your personal files so you don’t have any data loss if things go wrong. And snapshots are useful for unfucking a system that you’ve just fucked.

Sorry if you don’t want to hear this, but you kinda have to figure it out yourself. Thankfully, for specific issues and questions, there is a ton of material out there, and people are generally pretty happy to help.

Memes are so entertaining and funny on the memes community boy I love memes

I don’t like to use steam because it’s proprietary

Um… were you looking for only open-source games? Good luck

Been using it exclusively for a couple years on all AMD. Not zero issues, but issues I’ve had are minor.

Everyone’s shitting on him because people loathe lazy copy/paste paragraphs from chatGPT in their online discourse. Me included.

Which is fine with me tbh because fuck sales. I’d never survive independently, because I’d tell the customer the truth. And the truth doesn’t sell. I don’t have the energy to lie about how everything is better than it actually is.

Windows for a long time before I knew what OSes were. I never liked how locked down MacOS is so I’ve never used that. Then I tried Ubuntu in college, mostly to play with. Then tried Arch, fucked up my system a couple times and reinstalled, then tried Manjaro because I’d heard it was more stable and less fuss. And now I’m back on Arch. I think I’ve finally mostly figured it out over the last decade lol, I haven’t had a problem with my install in years.

Instance blocking doesn’t block comments?

Lol

Great band though, you’ve got good taste

Beats Skype for Business too, which was Microsoft’s previous offering. And it was BAD.

I’ve got both Samba and NFS set up. I’d say Samba is the most versatile, just because more devices are bound to be compatible with it out of the box. I have an app on my phone I can use to connect to it, for example. And it obviously works with Windows machines. NFS is very simple to set up and nice and speedy. But I only use it for a couple permanent shares for specific things between Linux machines. You could always use a mix. I have a directory that’s shared with both.

I’ve never configured Kerberos I think, might’ve tried once in the past. From what I understand it’s a pain to set up and really more useful for enterprise environments. But could be fun to configure if you’re into tinkering with that sort of thing.

I had almost no problems. Starting up plasma took longer than expected the first time, one widget was broken/out of date, and the bouncing activation animation on items on the taskbar isn’t working anymore (haven’t seen anyone else with this problem yet). Overall not too bad.

Does the year you were born start with “20”?

Them libreoffice packages are PHAT

Also curious. I’ve had a couple drives on my server machine mounted to /mnt/data and /mnt/data1 for years now (ignore my lazy naming conventions) and I’ve had zero problems.

It’s become really sleek looking too. When I first started using it the UI looked kinda clunky.

I like yakuake, I’m spoiled by the drop-down terminal at this point

I have no idea why it breaks like this so often too. And it’s such a pain in the ass to try to fix that I’ve generally given up on trying. At least when something very rarely happens with the indexer on Linux I know where to look to fix it.
