I have to use macOS at work and I sorely miss the efficiency and simplicity of gnome.
I’ve spent a lot of time configuring and tweaking various DEs in the last 20 years, but somehow gnome shell nailed it for me.
Happy to have many options as a Linux user!
This just means that this project is still too early in development for you. The breaking changes happening in this phase are going to pay off in the long run and prevent the project from getting bogged down.
I would give it another shot when they release v2
Did you ever find the missing packets?
#! brings back some good memories :)
Unpopular choice here but Ubuntu LTS with ubuntu-debullshit (vanilla gnome, replace snap with flatpak).
My main factors:
I’ve had my fun distro hopping in the past but I just want a low maintenance system nowadays.
You can always set watchtower to blindly pull for you. If it’s going to be broken anyways, might as well automate the process.
I find Mint to be the most obvious choice for beginners who don’t use Lemmy.
Would never touch it personally, but I found your history of Windows piracy in China very interesting!
In the US the license was always bundled with the hardware unless you build your own. I worked for my university’s computer labs IT department and was able to acquire a key that I used for about a decade. Later, also scavenged a key from an old broken laptop, back when they printed it on the bottom, for my current Windows partition. Best to avoid paying for it…
I’ve been using mostly Windows for a desktop and Linux for servers for many years, but 11 is where I have to call it quits. My old friend Debian leads me forward from here :)
If the open source release is adequate then you can just continue using it… Or fork for your needs.
Crunchbang (#!) linux breathed live into some very wimpy hardware I’ve had in the past.
Loved the minimalism.
I remember getting a Ubuntu CD box set many years ago when I ordered free disks in the mail as a teenager. The box was well constructed, prints of high quality and the CD labels were especially sharp.
Crazy how physical media was king back then.
I was in those masses. They sent me a free CD in the mail when I was a teenager!
Same! Debian with gnome on my desktop and work laptop. Raspbian on my Pi4. Headless Debian in the cloud…
As a 4 day tech worker, 1 day community gardener, I can vouch for the therapeutic nature!
It’s not a dealbreaker for me but I feel your pain. Getting everything organized in Gitlab is a pleasure.
So, I finally decided to ditch Ubuntu for desktop and servers last month and went distro shopping.
In the end, I settled on Debian. My rational was I had already been using Debian under the hood for nearly 20 years and it has treated me well. I’ve really come to appreciate that there is always an abundance of help and documentation compared to some other distros.
In addition to apt, I use flatpaks now.
Installing NVIDIA drivers manually kinda sucks but vanilla Gnome shell is so much nicer than Ubuntu’s Gnome.
Kinda comes across as someone complaining about how their company implemented agile. The only thing I can relate to is long sprints around the holidays, which I don’t see as an issue.
I’ve only worked for 20-30 person companies so maybe it’s a corpo thing? The post reads like a list of red flags that would have me looking for a new job pronto.
Seems to be more a problem of shitty management than agile vs waterfall.
This will completely depend on how and what is being distributed.
For example, I used to work on an app where assets (3D models, images, etc) were appropriately diff’d during updates but the binaries were not.
I like to require access to 22 via IP whitelist and all services on SSL behind a reverse proxy. Doesn’t leave much surface to attack.
I’m also a gnome shell convert. Down with the taskbar!
Desktop: Macintosh ( Windows (XP-10) w/occasional Ubuntu dual-boot (various DEs) -> Debian + Gnome
Server: Ubuntu LTS -> Debian
I’ve also had a number of used thinkpads over the years where I mostly ran Xubuntu and crunchbang.
I still boot into Windows every month or so if I need to model something in Rhino (CAD). Couldn’t get it working in Wine and my 12 YO computer isn’t performant enough to run it in a VM. The last thread remaining and waiting to be cut…
One man’s “basic” things are another man’s clutter …
In my experience this only happens when (re)installing Windows, not updating. Can be easily fixed via live USB.
I was gonna say, I don’t like to victim blame but why would people be grubbing around these days to begin with?
Righteous!
I plan to pay for Immich
I’m a big raspi fan but I think the Pi 4 will be overpowered for your needs.
What I love about Debian is there are always instructions regardless of whatever random package I want to use or Linux thing I’m trying to do.
Ansible is so simple yet so elegant.
Been using the flatpak, works great!
I personally also put Pydantic on the S tier.
Also, I use (geo)pandas on a regular basis and when it comes to geometric operations Shapely is an amazing library.
Video?
After getting used to the vanilla Gnome flow, at home and at work, even MacOS starts to feel a bit clunky.
Love the minimalism of Gnome with the stability of Debian.
Am I understanding correctly that you are building the image by copying in key elements from the host machine’s functioning nginx installation?
This is creative but not common approach to docker.
Normally software is installed following the officially documented procedure (imagine installing using apt or a shell script via RUN). Sometimes software documentation has specific recommendations to follow for containerized installs.
It’s common to have the version defined as a variable where a change in value invalidates the docker layer cache. To me it’s unclear how caching would work with your dockerfile, for example, in the event of a upgrade. You could also see how a breaking change (such as one in the paths you are copying) could run into issues with your hardcoded approach.
In the case of software like nginx, I would use the official image, mount config/cert files instead of copying, and extend in my own dockerfile if needed.
I’m really hoping for the 3D options. If OpenSCAD isn’t a good fit then I still boot to Windows for CAD :(
That’s nice, I think I’ll switch from Firefox ESR on Debian!
Sorry, I did mean under powered.
Sometimes I use Drawing for adding some annotations but I mostly just paste directly from the screenshot tool.
In terms of editing, I work more with SVG where I use a very simple editor BoxySVG.
This is not a subscription but a perpetual license and for my needs it’s already well worth the price they are asking. Using this actively with my wife but also sharing albums with about 8 other family members.
I find the no-subscription model very attractive and I’m open minded to companies trying out new software licensing approaches. I like the idea of the developers getting paid for their good work and being able to do it full time.
It’s very minimalist and the project ditched the Windows-style approach some years ago. Personally, I’ve grown to love it and other DEs feel bloated now.
To each their own 🤷♂️
