I love the Atari ST and Linux!

Nothing enrages me more when you have a very specific problem and the only result is a reddit thread that's filled with jokes, irrelevant information, and no solution.

That's disappointing. Guess I'll join another instance.

I use firefox for obvious privacy reasons but also because I can customize the UI. Chromium's interface is oversized, ugly, and locked down while on firefox I can change any aspect of it using my own CSS.

The main benefit to using Gentoo is having complete control over your system. I've been a Gentoo user for nearly 6 years so the feeling of accomplishment has worn off long ago and now I feel like I'm using any distro which is a good thing. use flags come in handy when you want to install a desktop but none of the extra crap that's bundled with it or an application that has a feature that's disabled by default that you want to enable. Most packages take less than a minute to compile and on the stable branch, most of the big stuff only needs to update once in a while. From an outsider it sounds tryhardy to use Gentoo but in reality I'm using Firefox or playing a game while something compiles in the background which isn't as often as you think. I update once a week and it's usually 4 packages that take a minute to compile.

Great work guys. Now let's keep lemmy on there

Soon enough this will actually happen. There's no way they won't try to pull this shit.

They're getting desperate.

No.

I'm using it now and I feel the same way. It makes more sense to have a workspace indicator but I'm so used to the activities text at the top left that it just feels weird. I don't care if they change it it's just weird not having it after seeing it for 6 years

Nice! After the first time you get the hang of it but keep in mind, If you do make your own config you will have to recompile your kernel for any hardware that isn't automatically enabled in the config like graphics, touchpad, tablets, and other peripherals you will plug into your computer. Reading up on what hardware you have helps a lot but I still manage to forget something when I have to create my own config. Thankfully you can just transfer your config to the next kernel instead of creating it all over again.

Linux, Firefox, OBS, Emacs, Hatari

I supported sending a message on r/place but this is embarrassing

I grew up with it and only had 3 games for it. Adventures of batman and robin, Sonic 2 and X-Men. I played X-Men the most and it's a really fun game with nice music. Years later I discovered the rest of it's library though emulation

I used FreeBSD as my OS on my laptop a few years ago and It's pretty good but with the advancements and huge support that Linux gets, FreeBSD has to play a forever game of catch up. I'll use it again someday

I'm in my early 20's but I do use Linux and and I'm a tech enthusiast. For now everybody here is 1 of the 3 but it will grow.

Team Fortress 2 with 2075 hours and that's on an account I made 4 years ago. My old account had 3000+ hours.

Gentoo

Gentoo on my desktop and laptop. I also have an old thinkpad T41 that runs FreeDOS which isn't linux but is still awesome.

Here's a few channels I like that post interesting content if you're into retro stuff.

There's many more but these are the channels I highly recommend checking out.
