This one is going to be an unconventional one but I do love the Ubuntu font and I try to sneak it into some documents I write.

This is toilet time for me most of the time anyway.

Did you really wake up so early this morning and chose violence?

Dude it’s Friday. Leave us alone and go be happy.

Boycott you instead, dinosaur.

Isn’t Linux about freedom? Fucking pick a distro that uses X11 you like and keep X11, or build your own or some crap like that.

unsigned int cpus = min(num_online_cpus(), 8);

doesn’t that mean it’s actually at least 8, as in if you have 4 cores cpus will be assigned 8, if you have 20 cores cpus will be assigned 20.

Depends on what you do. I take care of this .Net 4.2 backend project which is not compatible with Linux in any safe way. For years I used windows and tbf I enjoyed it, but I am back to Linux and I use a VM with Windows on it to run the project on Rider. I have a setup which allows me to use the backend in this VM and the front-end, database and all rest is native on Linux. It works well for me with the downside of RAM usage, but I designed this laptop with this kind of use case in my from the very beginning so 64GB of RAM I have enough room to run the VM and everything else I need and steel have a snappy environment. I like it better this way, Linux has evolved so much in the past years I am honestly very impressed.

Thought fully switching a desktop environment up to your login screen and all is a little more complicated and can end up bricking your system if you don’t know what your doing. For those cases, you also would need to swap the system identity. Not entirely sure what was the command right…

That’s a really cool feature

I like the Ubuntu font for the system, but in the terminal and my IDE I use JetBrains Mono.

Since GNOME disabled desktop icons years ago, I liked it so much that I disable them in every OS I use, even on Windows.

They are just ugly and make the whole system feel messy. I do t need that. I can use the search or a favourites thing in a hidden drawer like the start menu or the gnome dock.

Just like you can have your own private Stack Overflow server for your company.

It sounds like an interesting idea but I’d make the server defederated from everything else to start with.

If someone says “there’s been a bombing” I will understand it is in the premises of where I am because that HOW LANGUAGE WORKS you fucking moron.

Omit the location in a location dependent phrase and the location is your location.

Stop spreading toxicity otherwise you’re the terrorist too.

And for Slack/Discord they’d have Wayland support if they didnt use ancient Electron versions.

When tech debt finally catches up as a bug…

The only thing keeping me on X11 at this point is Slack screen share feature. It doesn’t work on Wayland to share the entire screen (specific apps do) and it is entirely Slacks fault here.

X11 also has slightly higher FPS for gaming but not much.

Except .NET then you can use Rider which is pretty much IDEA but with added support for .NET, which makes it… better…? Not sure.

I came back to using Linux after a few years break this week, tested a bunch of different distros, and for some reason the game I picked to load on all of them to test gaming was No Man’s Sky.

Needless to say, after I finished setting up my final distro of choice (which was Ubuntu 23.10), I’ve put many more hours into this game since.

Not sure if arch is too different, but Linux is Linux. I suggest you get any live distro you can such as Ubuntu or fedora on a live usb stick and boot into it, once in it run gparted (or first install it if not available) and simply resize your partitions around as in to allocate some space from your home partition to your root partition. Should be a fairly simple operation especially with an easy and intuitive GUI such as gparted.
