Ah, the prime example of a stack overflow user. Nice.

But people who don't use adblockers aren't the target if anti adblock stuff in the first place.

tbh: she probably clicks on the thing that says "INTERNET" and thats it. I've been setting up a few computers in my family for people 50+ and they mostly don't even know the name of the program they use and mix it all up. I then just install a program and prefix the shortcut with the service. Like "MAIL Outlook", "INTERNET Firefox" so they know where to go.

I recently changed and could only do it because of ChatGPT. There are a lot of things that work different in Linux, like package managers, the file system in general, the focus on terminal, stuff that works different with different distros. For almost all questions, ChatGPT helped me within seconds. This is even more true, when I kinda don't know, what my question actually is. Then it helps to give me some good buzzwords to Google for. If I would have done this with just reddit and forums and stack or something, I'd get so much non-helping, gatekeeping, belittling answers - if any.

I have stopped giving even the slightest fuck about Ubisoft games. There are way more games than I have time. It's just another filter for what to play next.

Liftoff works best for me. Looks good, feels good. Tried a few and it just snapped.

I'm running TW and it's great. If you don't want a rolling release, OpenSUSE created Slowroll, that is supposed to release major updates every one or two months, which would probably be my go to if I were to start over.

It's a common thing I read on here. All the swiss pocket knives, Leatherman and flashlights. What are you people doing with those? I cannot remember the last time one of these items has been relevant to me.

openSUSE Tumbleweed. It's not Arch based, but easy to install and configure, KDE Plasma is nice and the rolling release has you always up to date. Snapshots make it safe.

So basically a Malkavian.

The first and it's addons. Full stop.

I made the switch a week ago. For two days at work, I always used Google, DDG and ecosia(uses bing) at the same time to compare the results. They are the same most of the time for the first 10 to 20 results. There's sometimes a blogpost that one engine shows that the other doesn't, but that post never made a difference.

When DDG does not get me helpful results, I can still ask Google to help out.

It's available, but still experimental I think.

In 10 years of working with tiling WMs productively on a daily basis this has been an issue exactly 0 times...

...for you.

Different people have different needs.

MacOS for work. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my private.

Surprisingly, different companies can follow different marketing strategies.

For work that's one thing, but from what I read here, there's a whole bunch of people running around with multitools on their belts in their private time.

Usually, I find ports of PC Games best. I don't know if they are suited for 9 year olds, but broken sword, baba is you or papers please are really good on mobile devices. Point and click in general is a very portable genre for mobiles.

But Foam is. It's roughly the same as obsidian and it really helps structure my work.

Well, sure I do have to fix something around the house or something like that, but then I got my trusty toolbox with all the stuff I need, so I have no need for multitools on my belt.

Definitely try solo stuff with plugy. I installed D2 for a nice bnet session of baalruns but bnet was a bit riddled fuckhole. I tried plugy before uninstalling and it got me hooked on solo play for 3 more years.

I am using it as both. I try to adapt Zettelkasten with todos, inbox and a personal knowledgebase, but also try to manage my Meeting notes, Project information etc. I loved the idea of Obsidian, but wanted to use FOSS stuff, but damn, Obsidian is great and I always feel a little annoyed by Foam+VS Code because it constantly fucks up my tabs layout, closes the graph and, coming from Notion too, is not as fluent.

@SurpriseCandid8978@lemmy.ca mentioned Anytype and I tried it this morning, but I cannot wrap my head around how to properly implement Zettelkasten and something like a folder structure so I think I'll drop it, even though I was really interestet.

A coworker gave me a tour of Obisian just now and the features it has make it hard to avoid.

I've been in your shoes a few months ago. I tried a few distros in VMs and ended up using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It comes with different GUIs and I decided for KDE. As a beginner TW helped me with the built in snapshots mechanism. So before I did anything, I took a snapshot, did it, and if I fucked up, I could easily rollback and try again. Since TW is a rolling release, I now make a snapshot before and after the system update So I always have some stable Rollback snapshots. Gives me so much safety to fiddle around and learn more about Linux. Been loving it so far.

Make heavy use of ChatGPT. I've been chatting about Linux with it for months now.

I wasn't sure about the state of Slowroll. In terms of stability, Tumbleweed ist absolutely fine. It's the less frequent, but not super low frequent update cycle that's interesting to me. I could always just ignore updates on TW, but I've got the urge to run the updates if there are any.

Try Tumbleweed then. It has yast and will cover the important stuff you'd probably do in console otherwise.

Just out of curiosity: What's your problem with the terminal?

Often, it's not really the "old games" but the "not the marketed shit". One of my favourite gems is Outward. It looks and feels a bit clunky, but you breathe love and passion for making games on every corner.

I switched to Linux recently and been researching on Distros for weeks with tables and stuff. I decided for Tumbleweed with KDE and it just feels so good. Wrote some scripts so I can run a system update with pre and post snapshots and a restart and it gives me so much confidence to tinker around and learn more about Linux. Snapshots in general are just so damn great.

Gaming on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed without any problem so far. First with Nvidia, now with amd.

That's fair.

Just disabled it in BIOS/UEFI. Should I disable security device support too, or doesn't it matter when fTPM is disabled?

Have a look at Tumbleweed with KDE.

I've been scripting pre update snapshot, update, restart, post update snapshot. Whenever I start my PC and there's a update notification, I just run my script, have a look at Lemmy or get a coffee or have a piss, and then go on with whatever I was going to do. Or skip update for a day if I don't wanna invest the time.

The only reason for a rollback was a fuck up on my side. Nvidia drivers from the official zypper repo is always up to date and has not failed me for as long as I had a Nvidia GPU

It's really easy and comfortable to use.

I tried it and somehow I cannot wrap my head around how this works. My head wants folder structure.

Phew, I just started looking for my iPhone I don't have. Brackets saved my sanity.
