Genuine question – how does it “use” that water? Isn’t it primarily utilized for plain old water cooling, where in mind it just evaporates at worst?

What are we going to do, build high speed rail!? A technology so advanced that China alone has enough track in active operation to traverse the US over 13 times as of three years ago? I dunno, seems like a gamble
Haha I’ve had a journey to get here, all because I have a 12th gen Framework.
Initially I got Debian Sid working but ran into power management issues with the module system. I switched over to arch and loved that for a while but frankly I was too careless and kept breaking my system. The way I use Arch it wasn’t a stable daily driver. Then I switched over to NixOS and loved it, but I bricked 3 of 4 ports with a firmware update (again me being careless). Graciously, Framework helped me fix the issue.
After all of that I decided to go with a distro that is officially supported by Framework. Between Ubuntu and Fedora I choose Fedora since they don’t have ads for Ubuntu Pro :) I also like SELinux by default and wanted to broaden my horizons
I tried Debian + Nix once upon a time too. Honestly flatpaks and containers did everything I needed and more, and every dev team I’ve been on already has familiarity with the container workflow.
I’m a huge fan of Debian and Nix, don’t get me wrong, but it was shy of perfect for my use case. Glad it works for you though! I’ve been using Fedora + Nix home-manager with flakes for almost two years and I don’t think I’ll ever go back
Yakuake is similar but drop down based (like quake). I love having a hot key to access my terminal (tabs, splits, and all). Especially when editing in vim and looking at docs in Firefox it’s such a buttery smooth workflow.
42·10 months agoAs an avid NewPipe user I like that it’s an approximately identical tool with more functionality!
It seems like a fork where (I wish) a plugin could (ideally) be in NewPipe. It may also be a nice nod to the original devs to change the default color scheme of the fork so nobody gets confused as to who forked from who.
Overall very cool work! I hope they continue to have success and make progress.
It’s definitely a skill that I haven’t mastered either! That being said I think it’s one of the pillars of being a bonafide “super user” and I’d like to set there one day :)
Maybe I’ll take inspiration from this post and write something up about what I learn in the future about manpages.
Cheers and happy tinkering!
Thanks for putting this out for public benefit! I haven’t messed around with MacOS much but the things you’ve mentioned are nice to know.
I believe that’s a shell/bash standard variable, but I need to learn where it came from and how it works
You may know this already, but I’ve found the
man(as in manual) utility to be one of the most useful things in GNU/Linux user space. I don’t have much insight into ‘${file##*/}’ off the cuff, but I can tell you there’s manual entries forfile,sh, andbashthat may help you track it down.# simply type man [some-command] man file man sh man bash man man # very useful for getting started!Manpages are local to your system so they’re extremely fast to pull up and searchable!
Here’s some online info on

5·10 months agoExactly what I came here to say.
Prompt me for Ubuntu Pro once (in the GUI on first login)? Shame on you, but I’ll move past it.
Put an ad in the terminal every time I update my system though? Straight to jail.
Socialism has to to with collective ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods, not cost to the consumer. Goods and services may typically be free at the time of use (funded by taxes ahead of time) but that does NOT mean free as in without cost.
Again, like most of the other people in this thread, you’re confusing free as in freedom (software movement), and free as in without cost.
I agree that socialism is not the scary term that staunch capitalists seem to believe that it is. However, perpetuating misunderstandings about what socialism means will not help find a healthy balance.
You’re missing the entire point of the free software movement. Free as in freedom does NOT intrinsically mean free as in absence of cost. Linux exists because of companies like Cygnus who successfully marketed the Bazaar, as opposed to the Cathedral, to investors.
Stallman and Torvalds themselves have gone on record multiple times stating the utter lack of political motivation in being able to modify the software on your machine.
That’s awesome! I hadn’t heard about COSMIC DE.
Well put. The one thing I would add is using the Nix package manager on a distro other than NixOS! I’m daily driving Fedora 39 + Nix (home-manager) with zero problems. My pick would either be Fedora or Debian.
Tons of good documentation either way. Flatpak the packages you, no kidding, need to be easy / consistent to debug. Non-root podman for containers. Nix for more up to date packages than are available in the native repos (especially useful with Debian) + the other benefits like nix-shell.
Others are recommending Obsidian (which I have no experience with, it may be the right way to go).
Myself, I chose Logseq on a whim a year or two ago and haven’t looked back. In the backend you get a nicely composed set of plain-ol’ markdown files that you can cp/edit/merge as needed.
In my mind an eGPU has a very specific use case.
My previous setup:
- Framework 13 (12th gen i7)
- Arch Linux (btw)
- Akitio Node Titan w/ a 1070ti
It worked… ok. The lack of a USB dock really hurt the “desktop and laptop in one” concept that I was shooting for. I had to plug / unplug 3 things to get into “desktop mode” which was a hassle for how much I switched between modes. It ran things like Valheim really well but utterly failed at FPS games like Apex (<15fps, horrible stuttering, totally unplayable).
If you already have a laptop, a GPU, a desk, a decent monitor, and you typically play low-requirement games and just want to play on high settings – then by all means it’ll be great for that! Another way it may make sense for you is if you play around with CUDA and need a compatible GPU on a budget.
That being said, don’t convince yourself that you’ll get full use out of something like a 4070. If that’s what you want then, as of now, a desktop is almost certainly your best option.
Happy tinkering :)
I’ll try to keep this to lesser known apps:
Catima (saves barcodes for gift cards, gym memberships, etc so you don’t have to worry about the physical card)
Cofi (nice timer for active guidance through coffee brewing recipes)
10,000 Sentences (a language practicing app that doesn’t have a mildly threatening owl 😉)
OSMAnd+ Mapillary, Overlay Maps, and 3D Features (seriously, the best. I only use Google maps to get around traffic these days since, unfortunately, Magic Earth doesn’t work very well in my area)
Obtanium (as a gateway to lesser known software, no shipping to an app store required!)
RethinkDNS (an absolutely amazing piece of software that gives you fine-grained control of the domains your apps are talking to. A bit of a battery sync but it’s been a game changer for me. On my GrapheneOS setup I use it in the Google sandbox to reduce the amount of data scraping servers my Google apps can talk to)
