Ive worked with thermal printers used in POS, and usually they use a different protocol than notmal printing so you’re not using cups (basically you send “commands” with text and its position). But i am sure there are some exceptions…

Was more thinking about running games in sandboxes, other than the overhead i could see some games not being happy with that

Linux is built by the community for the community. I think trying to help people move to linux is just in just in linux users blood 😅

I haven’t tried it so i dont actually know what im talking about, but i feel like installing steam through flatpak is asking for trouble.

I like it because i never took the time to setup neovim with plugins haha. Helix is a more out-of-the-box experience 👌

I just tried because you made me doubt, but you can access your passwords offline with bitwarden. Your argument about trusting a third party is far more pertinent, i’m choosing to trust them but thats really my choice. It is also a limited trust: even in a case of a data breach, bitwarden is encrypted end-to-end with your password, even if someone gets access to your data they wont be able to read it without your master key.

Never happened to me, but technically your account can get banned using Aurora since it’s against the TOS. Also i mostly use aurora for privacy, so an different account only to download apps is a good idea. (Ideally you should even use the anonymous feature, but i had some stability problems with that so i switched to a throwaway account)

Music. Probably singing and acoustic guitar. I really like singing, even if I’m really bad at it, and I like getting lost in music. Yes I can listen to some music, but I feel like doing it yourself gives it something more. Someday I’ll get classes haha, I need more hours in my day

I mean… I agree the vast majority of the time car problems are not dangerous. But at the same time I saw a car randomly catch on fire while it was still moving soooo yeah. (for info the guy got out just in time and was perfectly fine)

Idk, i feel like control over food supply might be a bigger factor on these friendships :p

Since you’re just starting out, I would probably recommend mint. I think it’s the most stable of the “mainstream” distros and you’ll have less frustrations. If you want to have a great experience with managing packages, I think installing and using the nix package manager is the best way to manage packages on any distros (and who knows, maybe in a year or 2 you’ll want to try nixOs!)

NixOs is so much fun (it is my main distro rn) but I would never recommend it to someone who is just switching from windows for the first time. Any more mainstream distro would be better, but I would still recommend using the nix package manager because it’s just so good

Well that’s pretty bad. I just switched to hyprland and like it, but I don’t want to give those people a bigger platform than what they already have… Ah shit I’ll have to think about that. Why can’t we have nice things that aren’t made by complete assholes.

Thanks!

Could you link the bot repo? I was thinking of self-hosting but wasn’t sure because I didn’t want to only see subscribed content.
