The „you have to like people“ part took me nearly 20 years to figure out. I hate people in general with possible remedy for people who are nice. I‘m exceptional at managing people, I just dont vibe with them. This leads to absurd situations where everyone is happy, professionally but folks just hate my guts.
So, I now work alone and am happy with it. :)
Exactly my point. I tried installing it and it was great fun but under no circumstances is that “beginner ready”.
Thank you very much! This tool is great indeed!
Hi there, whoever suggested linux for your switch played a mean joke on you. Granted, arch works well if you know what you‘re doing, apparently. But no way it is a good starting distro.
I‘m not sure how eldenring works on linux but most games run without problems.
One little caveat is this: you need to understand that windows is a billion dollar product while linux is mostly community driven. It costs nothing, except many people donating their time. So I‘d suggest adopting a „its insane that hobbyists are able to build something like this“ view. Otherwise you‘ll get frustrated and will end up im privacy invasive windows territory again.
If you want a more gaming ready distro, try pop os or bazzite. Good luck
It doesnt sound dumb. Maybe its just not for you.
I play minetest online and some folks I chat with, some I dont. Its a private server so peeps dont bother others.
Big chat servers like on discord bore me because its mostly just trashtalk. Either lemmy or matrix, both are fine.
Hit me up if you wanna discuss it. Have a good one.
I solved it with help. My fail2ban filters were too strict.
I really enjoyed reading your comment. You and share a ton of similarities in views and other things. Feel free to hit me up on matrix (link in profile). Have a good one.
quick fyi: rare cars seem like a pretty easy way to dox someone. Be careful of any data you share online.
i believe you. But its not only about installlation.
Although NC is great for the right usecase. If file storage is the usecase, NC is massive overkill.
Awesome Selfhosted has software for every usecase: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
Exactly! It’s like meta is actively trying to show how right us naysayers were.
Fedipact for the win! :)
Obviously not. I said if a feature is so advanced that libreoffice doesnt have it yet, they can either help building it (by code or by reporting the missing feature or helping advance the discussion) or they can use additional software if such exists or they can pay someone to do it.
What most people forget: you can spend small amounts to actually improve foss software if you need it to „just work“. There are hundreds if not thousands of hobby devs that will help you for a tip! :) if he spent thousands of dollars on plugins, I bet he could sponsor a small dev so that he and others can become independent of windows. Which by the way might deprecate his software anyway at some time.
The important part here is that if someone is willing they can add these features to foss software. Either by learning/doing the work or by helping fund someone to do it for them.
Libre office (no idea about open office, sadly) works in the same way excel does. A lot of the „advanced“ features of excel can also be achieved in other ways or by other software. Of course I‘m willing to get schooled by someone who has advanced knowledge of both and says its insanely different. But from my perspective the differences are marginal.
If anything on lemmy has ever been „nottheonion“ material, it is this.
Wonderfully put! Thanks.
I‘d say I‘m honest and loyal, not particularly nice. To me nice means diplomatic, charismatic and with low temper.
In this particular case I meant that linux is the same in all regards: open source. You can look everything up if you have the time. This makes it possible to change everything and anything you need. Even through different DEs you still have the same structure.
Now if you go try that with windows, you‘re properly hosed. Different package manager? No! Different desktop environment? No!
Simple might not have been the best choice of words though. Modularity might be better.
Oh wow! Thats gnarly. On that note, have you looked at rustdesk? Tried it this week and it runs great. Its also open source.
