I have a folder for my projects on root and within those projects I have my GitHub repos all contained within their own directory named the same as the project.
If I am learning something, I have a folder for the topic I am learning, and a logseq file with all of my notes. Then I have folders for my book references, one for video or audio references, and then a folder for my practice projects.
That all makes sense. I would for sure be unhappy if I had to sue it for more than just remote connections.
I manage the few linux servers at my company. I use a windows laptop to ssh to my servers. Windows for me is fine, but I do very little on it outside of ssh or emails. However, I would never use windows outside of this.
Same. Proxy detected and will not let me check it out. Seems like a cool idea though.
There is nothing stopping you from putting the effort in. Why don’t you pick some hardware and start working on building support for it?
Fair point. Hadn’t followed recently, but that suggestion makes sense. I would personally buy used, but I totally understand others not wanting to and buying the newer chips would make the most sense there.
You could go either way. But with the shit going on with the 13th and 14th gen Intel chips, I personally would rather go the AMD route. I would actually probably go with 5000 series chips with ddr4 ram for the savings. It would probably still be a huge upgrade for me, and it would be overall a much cheaper upgrade. If you are gaming primarily, the 5800x3d is still an amazing chip for gaming when it comes price to performance.
Completely agree! When this bad boy gets retired it is getting disassembled and placed in a shadow box for display.
The steamdeck seriously changed my perspective of what power I need for a computer and convinced me that I can continue to run my 1080ti for at least a few more years.
The issue I find with the surface is that it just isn’t lapable. Using it on my lap is nearly impossible. Good on a desk though.
I have been using terminal almost exclusively for about a decade or more. But, when I started I just decided to do it. And that meant that every time I wanted to do something, it would take me forever because I would have to look it up. Eventually, I got faster and faster and now anything I want to do with a gui, I can almost certainly do faster with terminal.
I have used a number of distros over the last 15 years. Once I found one I liked, I stuck with it. I understand the package manager, some of the special features of the distro I use and I don’t really have time to relearn this every couple of months on new distros.
If I want a different “feel”, I change my DE. But that’s about it.
Lol that is what you said. My bad. Must have read it wrong. That’s on me.
That is true. But I have an overall better experience getting KDE to look like gnome.
I started on gnome. I love it at first, but as time has gone on my experience with gnome had gotten worse and worse, and my KDE experience keeps getting better. It’s a real shame because I actually tend to prefer the gnome look at feel, but KDE has been so much more usable for me in recent years.
I love Fedora. But, part of my day job is also managing linux servers. I tend to recommend things that I think are the easiest to get running. Although Fedora is super easy to get running (at least to me), I find the installation process of mint or pop os to be much easier overall. Between those two OSes, I have moved several people from windows to fulltime linux and I’m not entirely sure that the conversion would have been as successful with fedora and without more help from me during the install process.
If a random reddit post is correct and he was 84 years old, I can only hope to have the same drive and mental ability at that age. RIP.
My job is working with a ton of servers over ssh. Bash is the most convenient balance between features and not needing to do any setup.
I am on a pixel 7 with graphene OS. Been great. Ive been using this phone for about a year or so now.
Fedora 41 KDE at home on my daily driver laptop and desktop.
Antix on my dell mini netbook.
Multi machine VMs I manage at work run on red hat enterprise with no DE or WM.
My web app servers at work run Ubuntu server 24 LTS with no DE or WM.
My home lab runs on fedora 41 server, no DE or WM.
