and it broke all my theeeeeeeeeeeeeeemes! \o/

Fwiw, about the zéro expérience thing, I hope you know that plenty of women would enjoy helping their partner explore how to share pleasure and day to day intimacy with them. Being inexperienced and realistic about it also means you won't have that overconfidence that leads some men to disregard their partner's personal likes, needs and body quirks, and that can be a very reassuring premise.

Source : this old crone was that woman once.

To be fair there was less to compile, but that still sounds like a lot...

I'll add: Back up your data and have fun! :3

There will be lots that will make you feel lost, because of the design language differences and the widely different philosophy, but you got this. Just take it at your own pace, one web search at a time and you'll be grand!

Du hast mich

I'm well aware. I was being facetious.

WAIT THEY DON'T ???

Not op but we do magic cookie shenanigans at work to run a graphic app as another user. I believe that's not a thing in Wayland.

Wait, I remember Mate being a Gnome2 fork but Cinnamon? The more you know... :o

Mint is solid. I hope you have a great time on it!

I'll also add that sometimes people project a lot and have a hard time understanding that recommending advanced stuff to beginners is counterproductive more often than not, no matter how much they like said stuff. It's frustrating. It's important to meet people where they are and take their needs and goals into account.

The website https://linuxjourney.com/ is often recommended to new Linux users, for good reasons. Since you're already experienced in CS and WSL you'll find a lot of things you already know, but there's always things to learn for everyone in there. Cheers! ^^

How the f does that even happen ._.

Foxit still provides a free version that's linux compatible. Its been a lifesaver at work to do document signing without messing everything up. It may take a little tweaking to run, but it's worth a try for forms.

Can confirm. As an engineer I'm an absolute dumbass when it comes to advanced economics.

I'm confused, why French?

An excellent place to start is https://linuxjourney.com/ to get you started!

Depends. That's about what I paid for my previous phone second hand and it lasted me 7 years and I loved it to bits. But I was pretty broke and only could afford that. New phone, I decided to buy a brand new fairphone, because i think that the moment I get enough disposable income, I have a moral responsibility to use it in ways that encourage more ethical practices, for all the people who can't. Doing that is bloody expensive, but if it somehow helps make this dystopian hellscape a little more bearable, I'll invest.

Have a tuxedo machine with TuxedoOS at work. I needed an NVIDIA card for cuda so I had a few kinks to iron out (NVIDIA I stg...) but the tuxedo customer support was here with me through it all, treated me with respect at all times and forwarded all issues to NVIDIA immediately, and they got fixed soon after. Solid team, sleek machines, nice distro.

Nono, arch breaks too, with no pebcak involved. Been there. Dude's just been lucky.

Not if they ban tiktok too ;)

Beat me to it :V

You could switch all your repos to the core Arch ones. I did that by accident once, and it was fine (although, I did switch them back eventually). Maybe it’d add release stability? I’m not really clear how the EOS repos vary off the baseline, except by adding some custom packages.

They don't afaik. EOS uses Arch's repos directly, unlike Manjaro. Just adds its own on top for all the fancy EOS stuff. Which is why EOS was immediately affected by the grub meltdown and not Manjaro. (which kinda digs a few holes in the stability hypothesis, though Manjaro is another kettle of fish tbf)

Snapper sounds really interesting, and I didn't expect "super easy" to be the feedback there. Sounds a bit overkill for my use case at home but I might look into it for work. Thanks for the info!

Oh god a borked BIOS is my nightmare... I don't even know how you'd go about fixing that on a modern PC mobo... Let's not jinx it shall we?

Gotta love terminator. I also always greatly appreciated how uncluttered and to the point its ui was, while being modern and configurable.

This is really cool!! :o

Yeop, you can say that again. Can't read the Arch wiki on a Nokia 3310 for sure lol

Tbh I'm not too careful about updates, I have regular backups and grub exploding wasn't enough to stop me, so eeeeh, if something really goes awfully wrong I have enough free time to deal with it and use it as a learning experience. I know I should be smarter about them like you are, but on my personal computer I just cannot be asked. ^^

Aha! Gotcha, that does bring back dome distant memories.

Thank you so much! <3

I'll be honest, it was a struggle, especially with yarn this thin, and I almost gave up, but I'm glad I didn't! ^^

Also don't feel bad for failing to pick up crocheting, that happened to me too the first time. It was such a disaster that I didn't touch a crochet for about 25 years lol

Any time! Can't say much about the robustness if the hardware though, as I tend to take stupidly good care of my machines.

Oh yeah, absolutely. It, unfortunately, a reality.

To mine as well, I'm with you on that one.

It's the same yeah

How have I been using zsh for this long yet never heard of that? I gotta give it a go, thanks!

I work in a medical startup and we provide an AI powered service for semi automatic target detection for neurosurgery specifically for Parkinson's and essential tremor. Many patients have benefitted from it so far with excellent results and the fact that it allows surgeons to perform the entire surgery under general anesthesia makes it much less traumatic and available to many more patients.

It's okay to reconcile that AI is both an amazing tool with a lot of great benefits in some areas AND a lot of assholish data theft and overhyped, unhelpful bloat shoved down our throats in others.

I did have a couple of issues with a model with an nvidia video card, but the tuxedo tech I got in contact with took great care to troubleshoot the issue with me and report the issue up to the Dev team that works with nvidia. So compatibility may not be 100% but the service is great. Now I got no more issues with it.

more confused french noises

That actually would make more sense :D

Interesting, but switching will be difficult, unfortunately...

Thanks for the info

Hopefully i can grab some time to take both for a spin soon!

This reads as some kind of weird bait

If xrdp works well enough, NoMachine us blazing fast in comparison. Have you given it a try?

NoMachine is what you're looking for. Full login remote desktop multiplatform solution like rdp/xrdp, but wayyy smoother.
