Please just nail laptops and get where they are in stock and new parts keep being released before you spread yourself too thin.

Flathub now marks unverified apps in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I don't see how that's true. The main point of AppImage is it 'just works' on any distro. If you have one primary place to distribute them to any distro - it's still meeting AppImage's vision.

Good time to install Linux and switch for good. You'll save thousands of dollars over your lifetime if you stop buying Apple.

Enterprise Linux on desktop? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] GnomeComedy@beehaw.org 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I run RHEL on my personal desktop and laptop. Why? Because I use it at work and the more I use it the better I understand it. This benefits me both at home and at work. I've even built Ansible roles and playbooks in git to setup my home machines. Overkill? Sure, but I have great peace if mind if I lose a boot drive that I'll be right back to normal quickly.

You can absolutely use an enterprise distro at home. Ignore the trolls about "It's all too old" or "it doesn't have X software". I don't care what version vim, GNOME or pretty much anything is, as long as I can open the core tools I need. For "missing" software: I've yet to find any software I "need" that I haven't figured out how to install (again: Ansible-d) including Flatpak for all the normie stuff (spotify, slack, discord, etc) and I'm golden.

'Best for what?' is the issue with this never-ending pointless discussion.

RHEL is a fantastic distro... For some things. It's also a horrible distro... For other things.

He's the one we need, but not the one we deserve.

Ubuntu Core Desktop Delayed, Won't Be Released in April in c/linux@lemmy.ml

They probably realized snaps are garbage and are still trying to desperately un-garbage them before the release.

Yup. Got the pop-up about being out of free articles. Opened a browser I never use (with no ad blocker... Cause I never use it) so I got to experience the site with ads.

The entire experience was hilariously ironic to read about service's enshitification... While being bombarded with constant ad garbage.

Bye bye wired. That was a waste of my time.

What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Don't become so concerned with if you could, that you overlook if you should.

I would buy a larger drive.
