I was like batch 5 of the AMD framework 13 running Arch and Gnome on it.
I did have some problems with suspend/nvme drive that was fixed by replacing the nvme. If you go with their drive you’ll probably be fine (I just grabbed one I had laying around). Ever since then the laptop is perfect. If you do get it check out the Archwiki article that has a lot of helpful tips for tuning your OS to the Hardware
I had an external HDD that I was using for years. Some of that time it was attached to a Server basically running 24/7 definitely dropped that thing a couple of times. That HDD has been out of use for years now but I’m sure I could just plug it in tomorrow and it would spin up fine. HDDs can last forever untill they don’t.
So Backups! And don’t worry about the rest.
Also as others said if you’re interested how long and hard it’s actually been working check out the smart data if there are any fail criteria you might wanna get a new one just to avoid restoring from Backup but if all’s green just let it keep chugging until it doesn’t and remember Backups!
Oh I’ve done some wicked shit with awk that things literally magic
Thanks. I love these kind of fun OpenSource community projects/ideas/jokes whatever. The readme reminds me of ed
I’ve been using Linux exclusively for ~14 years now. Heavily gaming on Linux only for the last ~8 years.
It was possible (though sometimes headache inducing) to play most games back then (Wine and soon Proton to thank) the biggest change IMHO came with SteamPlay since it turned the headache into one click on most games (thanks to the amazing work of wine/proton developers and the tinkering of the community).
When the SteamDeck released people seemed surprised at the breadth of games that were running on day one. To me it was not really a surprise since I had been Linux gaming with SteamPlay all the time and was almost expecting games to “just work” (though I still would and still am checking ProtonDB before purchase).
What the SteamDeck changed in my view was
I feel that the SteamDeck with SteamOS has really put Linux, especially Linux gaming on the map. Even though I want to be like “Linux Gaming has been a thing forever, I was doing it before it was cool” ;) I have to recognize that fact. In the past years I’ve seen so many people setting up Linux especially by the way of SteamOS (using HoloISO, Chimera …) just to play/mess with it which is also why I think an Official SteamOS release will make a huge difference.
Tl;dr: Gaming on Linux was a thing before. But the SteamDeck/SteamOS 3 made a huge impact nonetheless.
Obviously there is no one easy explanation here (as you can see by all the different responses).
I think evolutionary factors play into a general affection people have for boobs. They are humans first source of food and with it an extremely intimate contact. Also on a “birth readiness” perspective Boobs on a woman suggest that she can feed a child (just as wide hips suggest she can bear one).
There is something to be said about culture. Since boobs are considered “sexual” they have to be covered in “decent” settings (see also discussions about female presenting nipples on social media) which simply adds to their sexualization.
Also, in my sexual experience (Bi male) nipples and breasts (boobs/man boobs …) are erogenous zones so playing with them (touching/pinching/kissing/biting…) actually is arousing thus they are “sexual” parts.
Thats just my two cents.
Started on Gnome 2 for a short stint then used Unity for a while (used to be Ubuntus DM). When I switched away from Ubuntu I was still looking for something “familiar” so switching to Gnome (it was like 3.8 at the time) felt right. Have been using Gnome ever since.
I’ve thought about switching to KDE a few times (when Gnome made some bone headed decision) but the way key combos and workflows are ingrained to me I would just set up any DE to feel like Gnome so why should I switch.
I’m in the lucky position that I always could work with Linux. I was working with people that couldn’t be bothered to run Windows on their Desktops (administering mostly Linux Servers anyway). In my first job we had a “Standardized” Fedora desktop that was actually attached to our AD so you could log in at any desktop with your domain user. However we did have internal tools and some software requirement that only were available on Linux meaning everyone in our department had a Windows VM for using those tools (kinda overkill but ok). My last job we didn’t have any standard other than the system had to be encrypted and had Eset installed other than that we could set it up he was we liked.
Could I work with a Windows desktop? Sure I’m on the Terminal sshing into systems 98% of the time anyway but at the end of the day I love to simply be on Linux having a workflow I’m used to.
Regarding Office I was just using Office online for anything that needed it.
Getting Linux Systems into AD is possible (but of course requires cooperation on the side of the IT department)
Proxy and VPN should mostly be doable (but of course might not be able to be deployed via Group policies)
Moved my sister to Ubuntu a while ago aside from the occasional support call everything works quite well.
As for my mom, I sat her down way back and told her she needed to move off of Windows XP (support was running out). I explained to her that she could learn Windows 7 and eventually 10 (8 was already a known dud by then) or she could switch to a “Traditional” desktop paradigm that resembled XP closely where she’d only had to relearn once and then keep running it forever, so I moved her to MATE.
While most issues she had with incompatibilities could be solved (and often remotely by me just via ssh) there was one MFP that just wouldn’t scan properly (I’ve scoured the web for guides and sane drivers etc.) in the end I set up a Dual boot Windows (with a nice "switch to Windows " script right in the pinned apps) just so she could scan from there (scans automatically saved on a NAS share that was also available in Linux so she could use the scanned documents there). These days the MFP died and she got a new one that will actually scan in Linux but I kept the dual boot just in case (though I doubt she ever uses it).
Sorry bit tired rn and English is a second language to me so I’m not quite understanding your reasoning.
If he can come in he can come in
So far so clear
If he can’t come in he can come in
Is that a typo?
My understanding here is this.
The joke is that the correct question in this situation normally would be “May I come in” asking for permission rather than “Can I come in” asking if he (physically or otherwise) is able to come in.
Since Vampires can only cross a threshold if they are “allowed” in or “invited” inside so unless the resident tells him he may come in he actually physically can’t
However saying he can come in wouldn’t actually be an invitation inside if we’re being nitpicky here since, from the humans point of view, assuming the vampire is another human, he would assume that he can come in from his perspective (i.e. he doesn’t know of any physical hindrance for the Vampire to come in) but since he hasn’t invited him in the Vampire actually can’t come in so the humans statement “You can come in” would be a subjective fact that would not be objectively true?
Sorry I got more to think about on this but gotta sleep. Maybe I’ll edit this later 😅
For files are in git (using stow to recreate) and my documents folder is syncing to nextcloud (selfhosted) and this also to my laptop. This is of course not a “Backup” per se more a “multiple copies” but it gets the job done and also firs my workflow. To be happy with that I want to set up an offsite backup of data from my server to a NAS in my parents place but right now that’s just a to-do I haven’t put any work in yet ;)
lol. Autocorrect
I remember when I first noticed YouTube had ads. They’ve had them a while but before they got ads I had installed an ad blocker. So when I was setting up a new laptop and just testing if everything worked I loaded up a YouTube video and suddenly there was a pre roll playing and I wondered “What the fuck is this … Ah yes still need to install an ad blocker”
Edit: Toni? Who the fuck is he? ;)
Got the Framework 13 Ryzen 5 7640U when it was initially released (Batch 5 I think). Brought my own SSD (500gb I still had kicking around) and RAM (32GB). Only ever ran Linux (Arch) on it. Had a lot of issues at the beginning with suspend pulling lots of power and then (after some tweaking) suspend not being usable because at every wake the Filesystem was read-only. Also the boot option (efistub) would vanish if I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete during boot (meaning I would have to boot from a live USB every time to fix it. After a while of this (and some troubleshooting) I switched the SSD (with another 1TB leftover from some other project but rather new) and the boot option issue stopped. After undoing my tweak for suspend, suspending now works and at least seems to be pulling less power. So had a bit of hassle at the beginning, now it’s just a great Linux laptop.
Dug a little deeper and found a Pinterest pin that seems to suggest it’s his role as “Richard Roper” from “The night Manager”
Yeah I was thinking something similar. The first Game that came into my head was “Gothic” which I have played since forever (since ive been a little kid) and took me forever to beat for the first time. I don’t know if I would even start playing it today if I didn’t know and love it already. From my perspective today the graphics are outdated and the controls are clunky but it has such a unique heart.
The kernel was almost named freax
Did you know that kernel releases have codenames?
My favourite being 4.0: “Hurr durr I’ma sheep” because I remember taking part in that poll.
Been ThinkPad User for over 10 years. Edge E135 X220 X260
This year was the first Time in about 16years I bought a non used machine and it was a framework. As much as I adore the good ol ThinkPad the recent developments regarding repairability/statement from Lenovo are turning me off more and more. And my framework makes me happy every time I use it …
So I don’t know.
As many people here have pointed out already, it’s highly dependent on what type of Job you’re looking for and in what industry.
When I was applying for my entry level Job (actually an apprenticeship to become a sysadmin), the fact that I was a linux user (especially daily driving Arch) and that I had set up my own self hosted projects was a factor in me being set up in the department that was actually interesting to me (the Linux/Server department) instead of the Windows/Client department but I probably would have gotten the job either way. My work there set me up deeping my path into Linux sysadminship where I still am today.
