Props to Alpine and Kali for disabling this bullshit out of the box ( lemmy.world ) Englisch

Context for newbies: Linux refers to network adapters (wifi cards, ethernet cards, etc.) by so called "interfaces". For the longest time, the interface names were assigned based on the type of device and the order in which the system discovered it. So, eth0, eth1, wlan0, and wwan0 are all possible interface names. This, however,...

RustyNova ,

I often do the same for my memes. I like them high quality

RustyNova ,

Could you explain your choices better? Like what makes the top tier so good, and why the bottom tier is so bad?

RustyNova ,

I've started to become 2) for some stupid reason.

I use btrfs snapshots to backup my system, and it has the side cost of needing a bit extra space. This is absolutely fine.

What is not fine however is free desktop/Nvidia flatpaks update. I get 10gb every week, and it keeps filling my disk with this stupid crap.

Not only that I am both a rust programmer and blender artist, and it's the trinity of non deduped disk space filler

RustyNova ,

Cinnamon is neat.
That's it

RustyNova ,

True. It's Plasma without all the Plasma fluff. It works, it's simple, lacks Wayland but it's being worked on nicely.

I use Linux Mint as my daily driver, and honestly, it just works™ (except using CUDA heavily, but it's mostly little hiccups). Tried switching to more power user distros, but always having to fix a little thing here and there is getting annoying.

RustyNova ,

Yes and no. While you are legally in the clear, in practice no one read those because of the huge amount of legalese.

True consent is only obtainable if the person consenting understands what it means. Or else it's just legal consent.

RustyNova ,

It's simple. Like git, you search the command on the internet

RustyNova ,

I'd even add that now 99% of the distro have a gui over the package manager. Have an android or iPhone? You already have experience in installing stuff in an easier way than windows

RustyNova ,

Uh. Didn't knew that.

RustyNova ,

I hate snaps, but NextCloud snap is way easier to than the other methods, so it gets a pass... Only one

RustyNova ,

You still need to install NextCloud next. Then if you are on a home lab you'll probably need a reverse proxy too

On Ubuntu it's just install > go to config > whitelist all urls

RustyNova ,

Snapshots are definitely a hit or miss with me. I nearly never use them, but when I need to recover a file it's awesome. The only system related problem I had with Nvidia drivers but it was actually better to reinstall so it does all the install configuration itself

Although the most problems I had with it is backup of data. I tend to hoard too much

RustyNova ,

Yes. It is bloated. But not for the reasons you may think.

Live OSes need to fit multiple requirements compared to the installed ones. They need to:

  • Install the OS without internet
  • Provide a test ground for the OS
  • Be a way to repair damaged OS

So of course it's bloated, but in a good way. You may be already familiar with Ubuntu, and not care about the live OS part, so it would be bloat for you.
You may not care about setting up disks, so GParted is bloat for you, etc...

If you want a less bloated installer, some other distros like debian give net installers

RustyNova ,

That's the raw documentation. There's plenty of other articles that are actually useful.

RustyNova ,

That's what I meant. Helped me with set up my odd pc easily

RustyNova ,

On the contrary, if you do that, some users wouldn't even notice they switched to linux!

Or you can do a little trolling

RustyNova ,

May I know why Linux Mint is that bad of an OS? For me I feel like Mint is more refined than Ubuntu (especially with how canonical is going).
There's only one app center, one update manager, familiarity with windows, fast enough and has essentials pre installed (even if it is bloat for veterant Linux users).

I can accept the argument that there is no Wayland and packages are a bit behind, but for the average user, that's fine

RustyNova ,

Damn that's a really cool way to name your machines!

Why do I suddenly have the urge to rename mines...

RustyNova ,

My main is literally just the model name, my main server is "imaginary-tree" as a reference to Honkai Impact, and the two others are test and test2... So not that creative.

Although I do add "MkX" to show how many times I reinstalled the OS. Turns out, I accidentally broke them a lot-

RustyNova ,

Can a linux/systemd nerd explain what the error is? I know it's a shutdown sequence, but I'm curious on the fault
