I am getting back into fedora personally, I was going to check out docker, all my knowledge of it is super old and I remember the jist of it, being "it sucks." Time to reeducate myself, so I can get some flatpaks running that I have been wanting too.

Yeah I use lqxt on my vms with fedora and it runs great. I think gnome is pretty good but it is trying to be a desktop like windows.

I really like kde plasma but like gnome it is a bit beefy. I would say it is good for a general every day use desktop but I use my favorite Lxde on anything I actually want to be resource lite and still gui

RFC2324 posted:"less resource intensive than gnome" isn't exactly lightweight. I wouldn't run either on anything I wouldn't run windows on and expect them to not suck. Yeah, if you wouldn't run windows on it, don't use gnome, honestly I love LDXE, cause it is able to do the one thing I want those builds to do: open visual studios code, and give me a terminal for utilities. If you want super light weight and want to run on practically anything, I would say a custom Arch build is right up your alley.

I have to admit, I was pretty intimated by arch, but I really enjoy it for what it is good at. The only problem I ever had was basically of my own doing and really being lazy with settings and config files.

Hwy I was tooling around to try to get my main windows gaming PC and just convert it over to linux like the rest of my stuff. I have been doing a few tests on lutris, anyone have experience with it? My vms and laptop are simply not well setup to do more than a few games and certainly not some high end stuff. So I am wary of making the full jump cause my previous attempts using docker and wine on a windows dual boot never are encouraging.

Haha I did that too. When I was a entry level tech support fodder. I thought it would teach me linux... it did and made me hate it with a passion. Haha. Then windows vista came out and made me look for better distro.

I work on Linux Mint (It was pretty interesting requesting it, BE UR OWN IT, my IT guy has no idea what he is doing) and at home have Pop OS, if I didn't have a high end gaming windows 10, I would totally go linux. But there are still a few games/hardware issues that won't let me go fully linux. (I have a dual boot to test)

Yeah mdadm at least allows you to hotswap drives and rebuild the array, you don't have to reboot to do all that stuff.

Anyone trying deepin? I saw this article and formatted a laptop to try it and uh... it feels like mint had a person working on the ui to make it feel like macos/windows 10. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fo...tion-needs/amp/ I mean it is Forbes but other than being pretty it seems to be kinda of an entry level debian based distro with a few more bells and whistles than normal. I am not seeing the big deal. I am thinking of going back to my manjaro with kde...

I'll be honest every time I think I am decent at linux, I get someone with another distro, or another program, and I stare blankly quietly panicking and wondering if I should know this.

Yeah if you are going command line you could run it on practically anything. Xfce is going to be your key choice in my opinion. It has a good solid lightweight gui.

Craptacular! posted:Apple's invested a lot in design/human interface work over the years to understand how humans grok things and produce interfaces that humans can use and are formatted well. Apple buttons say what they do instead of being yes/no buttons, which is a big part of how "abort/retry/fail" became a 20 year meme about the difficulty of using computers. Considering that the biggest interface pitfall software has is being designed for engineers, there's nothing wrong with trying to clone their work. The underlying system is still far more configurable than a closed source platform is. I want to just say, I've used practically every OS i can get my hands on from JCL, to unix, Windows to solaris to apple since mac IIe and apple is the one interface I just can never ever get. It frustrates me constantly, and I loath every time i have to test on a mac, since it is counter intuitive as hell to me. Yet, I hear stuff like this constantly, and just don't get it. I can figure out Arch in a few hours, but give me an iPad and I have hack it so I can put a normal file system on it and get any longterm use out of it.

I'm the guy mounting the ipad via usb, to transfer books so I could read them, but since they weren't via apple, they had to be done via a file manager. I can figure out most stuff, i just can't figure out apple stuff. I've used apples since the very first ones all the way to modern ones, cause I was that "mac guy" that had the most experience with it. I still hated the interface and how it worked, but then again, my needs are way way different than most people who want things to work. I know many developers who will only use mac book pro, but I was the guy who flashed it and put on fedora, cause it was easier to work with.

Today I got to feel like a big dummy. I am using a client that uses internal port 5510, and the client wasn't connecting to the server. Gave a unique path on my firewall for my port still won't work. Nmap shows the port closed, assumed it was the router and disabled the firewall completely to the server. Still, nothing. Finally did a tracepath to and found it just hitting the server and stopping... I hadn't started the daemon.

Half of that I truly believe is so they can sell expensive certifications to make people get so what happened to the 1990s when all the linux kids managed to get IT jobs doesn't happen again.
