I have had great success running NixOS on my Pi. You can build software on your main computer and remote deploy with SSH :)

Budgie was released prior to Windows 10 though.

Play the Curse of Strahd D&D campaign. Strahd is such a great villain and very Dracula-esque. Though to be fair, victory is all but guaranteed…

But we need pedo billionaires as test pilots for stress testing experimental rocket designs :((

Here you go. Cowbee is just a regular user (or maybe rather a legend). Seems that you are moving in the right direction (by which I mean to the left), but I would say that you have far to go still. Good luck!

Well… People fuck around and seems to have been doing so for a while…

I have SSH with key based auth for connecting to my grandma over Tailscale. If I need remote desktop, I do VNC over another SSH-tunnel.

It is not just about deploying, which to be honest is great. I can build software for my Raspberry Potato on my desktop and remote deploy the config using one line in the terminal.

It is also for when I decide to tinker with my system by changing stuff like audio latency and clock rates for real time audio, USB HID overrides and so on. Normally I would be scared to break something, or worse, fix something without knowing what did it and thus learning nothing from my efforts.

The best part is having a system that you can approach almost scientifically, making it unbreakable in the sense that you can immediately revert to a true former state, both as a build and a config using GRUB and Git, respectively.

But NixOS is so cool though. I use NixOS btw

If it is just casual LLM stuff, just get something cheap with enough VRAM. Ollama runs with Vulkan now and on my 6700 XT I can run DeepSeek 7B just fine.

Glad to hear it!

I replaced a Realtek one because it constantly dropped connections. Luckily, this was one of the type of fixes that actually turned out to be easier than it looked.

I used Solus for years, it was actually my first long time Linux distro, and I have fond memories from that time and deep appreciation of the project. Note that I say used, because I have moved on (to EndeavourOS and later NixOS).

The reason why I moved on is the same as why I would recommend against Solus: the project have lost a lot of its core contributors. At the time I left there were no package updates for quite some time (used to be weekly).

I am not quite sure Solus really got a future. There are talks about converging it with AerynOS, former SerpentOS, which is innovative but still experimental software built by the original team, i.e. those that left Solus in the first place. Though they are really proficient in making the software, I do not think they have the same skillset for securing longevity through contributions.

In the end you should not care too much what people think. You will get the popular options for the intersection of Lemmy and Linux users, but popular is not always good nor what is right for you. Just try stuff and be ready to move a little through rigorous backups, you do have backups?

Mac has a decent terminal (even defaults to zsh IIRC), homebrew for package needs, no obnoxious ads in the desktop UI, great (although pricey) hardware. I am an avid Linux user forced to use Windows at work. I would much rather use a Mac.

Not on NixOS!

services.immich.enable = true;

Phoronix and Gamingonlinux are awesome!

Setup Mint for grandma, and had to do it again recently as she had bought a new computer and found Windows annoying and unintuitive.

I use NixOS so I obviously have not.

I do not need a medal to call someone out for spreading misinformation. Sure you can have an opinion on mathematics without being a mathematician. However, you are undereducated and make false statments about the subject, while being ignorant and arrogant to those that correct you. That makes you a dick and me not hesitate to dunk on you.

Damn, you really do suck more as a person than you do at math.
