Honestly, I have been using Lemmy since the Reddit API ordeal and the community here over Linux just annoys me. It is this all high and saving OS but why hasn't it done so yet.
Why does the community and answering questions about Linux suck. Linux great and I use it but people here act like they figured something out the rest of the world hasn't but when the rest of the world tries to figure it out the response is, "good luck, figured it out, go back to Windows loser." Just annoys the hell out of me.
I have also never watched Star Trek but it seems good.
The original series is all I've seen but its legit hilarious and definitely still worth watching. Many of its storylines have been revisited/retold over the decades, but the plots maintain their charm and originality. It's campy as all hell, but the campy atmosphere of the show elevates it rather than aging it in a bad way.
I use Debian btw.
I agree. Their solution for everything is FOSS and like... No sometimes people don't want an alternative for what they're talking about they want the actual thing they're talking about
I too joined when the API shenanigans started. But...
it's good to know I've got a million and one people to ask questions when I finally make the switch. It's inevitable. Honestly lack of free time (read home PC has not been prioritized) has been the only hurdle. I've dabbled over the years, just barely.
I have an old Thinkpad tablet (X2___ or 4___ idk) that I want to switch over. It had a few offline duties w/ W7, but that's all done now. I settled on OpenSUSE and made a live USB to start. Works on my desktop but haven't gotten it to boot on the Thinkpad. I've found I need to go to the grub2 folder and can do so at the grub prompt (rescue, probably) but I still run into something about cannot validate cli...
Yes, I'm chumming the waters while I'm stuck inline. Sorry to detour!
Its the same kind if vibe as when you hang out with certain Jazz musicians / fans and they start discussing chord substitutions, extensions, etc.
I should add that while I'm not specifically a "Jazz Musician", I play piano , and utilise substitutions, extensions etc. :)
I have been using Linux for 20 years now, as a main OS for at least 15. Linux isn't perfect in any way and I have fucked up my system many times. But in those 20 years I maybe have felt to need to ask for help 2 or 3 times, because al the other 999 times with some searching I found someone with the same problem and a solution. When you ask for help for something that can be found with 3 minutes of searching I totally understand people don't feel the need to help you out.
