I feel like most of us who got into linux in that era got to truly know it that way - tinkering with it, breaking things and figuring them out by ourselves. In my particular case we didn’t had internet at home until late 2008 so even “simple” things like updating stuff was a real pain in the ass, though the ubuntu cds were salvation.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab.
569·9 days agoAnd as said in another post some days ago, I fear posts like this would cause a Streisand effect. Not cool to give them free publicity.
Mind’s bicycle just had a flat tire
Haven’t had a vanilla install since KDE 5 came out, but the biggest thing I use far from the default install is Karousel

Linux@programming.dev•Asahi Linux: Initial USB4/Thunderbolt support for M1/M2/M3 on LKML
11·21 days agoHoping they can make it work for external displays soon. It’s awesome they seem to be catching up with upstream real fast.

Linux@programming.dev•Debian developer Antoine Le Gonidec resigns after option allowing corporate LLM use without disclosure wins vote
141·21 days agoSurprising that it was even an option.
I fear posts like this can cause a Streisand effect. How about not giving free publicity to that stuff.
You know, if ubuntu proposed to be a serious distro again it would rename itself to UwU

Linux@programming.dev•Experimental BSDun Kernel Module Runs FreeBSD Binaries on Linux
4·3 months agoI’ve read about people that switched to freebsd purely because of jails or zfs.
It tells Portage to set every package it installs to use the flags spit out by
cpuid2cpuflags, so yes,*/*is kind of an expansion - it should mean like “every portage package in every category”

Linux@lemmy.ml•Arbitrary code execution breaking sandboxes in KDE Plasma | Kimiblock's Blog
3·3 months agoWondering why they stopped replying. One would imagine they would have a strong and well defined process for security reports, but it just seems like they sad “meh”

Linux@programming.dev•Convinced my partner to install Linux on her laptop. Going with Zorin OS. Thoughts?
192·3 months agoI’d make sure to keep Win10 as dualboot. Office and the Microsoft account are big concerns and you didn’t verify on them.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Why Drawing Tablet Brands Won't Collaborate on Linux FLOSS Drivers
16·3 months agoHave had a small cheap wacom bamboo for more than 10 years. Not only the device works great in itself and it’s quite sturdy but its support on Linux has always been stellar. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever.
Insanely strong opinions about software YOU chose to use everyday. I’d move to something else with no “bloatware” instead.

Linux@programming.dev•I Finally Tried Niri, The New Way Of Tiling Linux Users Are Going Crazy About
2·3 months agoI still miss KDE4SC’s tabbed windows. It was the shit.
I hope they can come back sometime.
(That being said I like Niri’s concept but I don’t wanna install yet another WM, I’m using the karousel kwin script which pretty much does the same thing)

Linux@lemmy.ml•What do you think KDE should focus on for the next two years? - Call For Submissions
4·3 months agoThis surely has more to do with upstream Qt, but I wish they can give way to people make things for KDE with Rust/Zig/C3/Whathaveyounow. Like, you know, besides the C++/QML combo (and the PyQt bindings thing).
That and overlooked apps like Falkon that have so much potential but could get some more love.
As a matter of fact KDE 6.9 will be released on 2027/4/20. Source: trust me, bro.
You had the chance to call it SystemdOSd and somehow you missed it. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Also why aren’t you including the most important piece, systemd-antivirusd?
and they also redesigned their website to look exactly like GNOME’s
Oh. I thought this was just another case of the consequences of the GNOME-ization of GTK but that… probably they want to became part of GNOME.

Maybe what you call “basic functionality” isn’t as “basic” to implement in code. Or maybe there aren’t that many people that consider those functionalities “basic” (me for example).
All in all the hate towards wayland just does more harm than good and people limited on complaining and hating maybe should consider ways of actually improving it.
