I don’t think my kids have ever used a Windows machine. I have a couple of machines at home that both run Linux Mint and they use Chromebooks at school. There is not much software that they need that is not either a web page or also available natively.

I remember this thread! Before I saw this comment, I had already gone to look it up again:

Here’s the initial post of Verionica’s video on booting from ISO files: https://linuxmom.net/@vkc/112905487325961707

My ADHD would not allow me to function without reminders.

Best side effect of the insulated bottles is not having to use a coaster because they don’t sweat.

Not sure I could get used to using transparent bags for dog poop.

I’m totally going to try this.

I still use Windows for work, but the last version I used on any of my personal computers was XP.

I remember running Slackware and having to recompile the kernel for just about any hardware you added. I configured a box to be used as a router before routers were something you could get commonly at Best Buy.

I was taking comp. sci. at university and all our work was done on Sparc workstations. Having a Unix-like machine at home was a great help during that time

v1.105.1 is already out. Apparently there was a critical bug in v1.105.0 to do with external libraries.

The command that I can never get right the first time is ln. I always end up creating a dead link inside my target folder, even when I read the man page directly prior.

If using open source projects and sharing my experience by helping others on forums and logging detailed bugs when I find them counts as contribution, then everyday.

I’m a software dev myself, but I have enough on my plate with my day job and two kids that have to be taken to all manner of activities. I don’t know how all these people find the time to work on free software, probably for little to no compensation, but my hat is off to all of you, wherever you are.

Doesn’t it bug you that the LMDE logo in neofetch has the top line messed up? I have all my local systems patches and there is a PR up on their repo for it.

I just use Navidrome’s web client. It does everything I need. DSub on Android.

Plot twist: they’re allergic to nuts and this was attempted murder.

puTTY, my favourite terminal program for windows.

Ha! I love “lappy-386”. I miss Strongbad emails. Especially the Halloween ones. And Trogdor.

I’ve been using it for about 1.5 - 2 years. It’s always been there for me.

I use AntennaPod as well. I cast from it all the time.

This happened to me, but the single result from 10 years earlier was unfortunately also me.
