Linux@lemmy.ml•Reclaiming the desktop: Why I’m still on Linux in 2026English
4·3 months agoFair point, but out of the box KDE has pretty sane defaults these days. It’s a very inoffensive desktop.
I have just a couple customizations that I do immediately on a fresh install, but it certainly wouldn’t kill me to use it as it comes.

I don’t know what the point of separate partitions for OS and userspace is, but whatevs…
Some folks like to be able to reinstall the OS while preserving /home. That’s the only reason I’ve seen for doing separate partitions. (I’m not someone who does that, but it’s the explanation I’ve seen)
EndeavourOS plus Plasma 6.
I don’t think I’ll ever use a distro that isn’t arch based again, and you can have KDE plasma when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. :)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I want to write a comic book about a superhero in his 20s who comes from a very wealthy family but my friend says its stupid. Should I give up?English
4·4 months agoYou can only become a better writer by writing. Also your friend should be more supportive. Lastly, I’m sure a story like that will have no problem finding an audience.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•I'll try something different next install, I swear.English
11·4 months agowhile liking the old version seems like a uniquely old man thing to do, just hating change for being change
Gnome 3 was a huge paradigm shift. Most people who noped out of Gnome afterwards disliked very specific things about it, not just hating change for being change. This is a really dismissive and kind of insulting take.

14·4 months agoI’ve been using Linux for twenty years. I didn’t use KDE until they declared Plasma 5 ready for primetime. (I hated Plasma 4, and didn’t like the look and feel of KDE 3.5 at all)
Since hopping on with Plasma 5 I have absolutely no interest in anything else. I love KDE Plasma and it just keeps getting better.
That’s me in OP.
Not only do I miss nothing from Windows, but also the decisions MS has made each and every year since I dumped them has only increased my conviction that I made the right move in doing so. Not one time have I read a MS/Windows headline and felt I was somehow missing out on anything I would ever want to be a part of.

What’s the news about neofetch?




I have gpt4all installed and just for kicks I just asked it three times “Who is Elias Thorne?” It gave me three different answers, including one answer claiming he’s a character from The Last of Us and another claiming he’s a character from Stranger Things.
