Thanks for telling me lol. I remember sharing your enthusiasm when I started.

If you don’t mind me sharing, here are some tools I use the most in the console:

• htop: resource monitoring and process killing. Mint has a GUI alternative
• btop: better resource monitoring, but worse process killing than htop.
• lazygit: amazing interface for git. Seems hard to get started, but IMO, not at all. There are GUI alternatived.
• tmux: multiple consoles and console manager. A bit hard to get started.
• nano: text editor. Reeaaaallly simple to use, prefer it over emacs and vi/vim.
• grep: you already know this one.
• cronjobs/crontab: allows you to run periodical commands. Say, a cleanup script all days at 7:08 AM.

Also, some GUI programs I love:

• KDE Connect: device pairing with your cellphone and PC. Includes remote mouse input, multimedia control and file sharing.
• Steam: Almost all the games I play on Steam run flawlessly on Linux.
• Stellarium: astronomy/planetary app.

Pick your poison lol. If you don’t mind, we can start talking via ptivate message.

I’m really glad to hear that! Happy Linuxing :)

Hey OP, how did the installation went?

That’s the technical explanation for the changes, no an explanation for closing the discussion all together.

@bitwarden bitwarden locked and limited conversation to collaborators

They also locked the thread 16 hours ago (as of writing this comment), with no explanation.

Yes, but both Intel and AMD offer an equivalent (not as mature, though). AMD is FSR and Intel is XeSS

*boop

Maybe the duck was the friends we made along the way

A very useful tip for technical images (i.e., lab report/research): export whatever graph you created as .svg, and do some prettifying touches in InkScape. It is faaaar easier than doing it in code.

Also, always export the .svg, even if you’re not gonna use it. You never know when you want to do a very small correction, and it will save you quite some time.

Your comment seems off, has some references to QGIS (props to QGIS! It made my thesis way better)

I think Jellifyn does. You can also set up watch partys. Navidrome is lighter and more responsive tho.

You can sell it in the second hand market and save the money. Stonks

Jupyter is great for data analysis.

Silly, but I like those because I can eat bits of it after using them :3

I changed the icon location, and my muscle memory still was trying to open them from the previous location, basically in a complete auto-pilot mode. That led me to a realization of how fucked up the situation was, and eventually helped me uninstall/reduce screen time of those apps.

Same here, and I’ve enjoyed it more than my Debian experience.

I’m curious: Is it a bad idea to have iptables with a default DENY rule? I use a deafult DENY in ufw, and it uses iptables under the hood.

Apocalypse Now. Damn, what a movie.

Great movie. If you haven’t, you should check out Arrival (2016).

From Linux, I’ve screen-shared my desktop in the web application for some years without troubles. Not even need to install the app.
