I think your assessment of Linux Mint with XFCE is a really good first choice. Cinnamon could be worth a try though as the UI is a bit more modern looking. I’m biased towards XFCE because it looks fine and runs extremely well on old laptops. I’ve got a laptop from 2008 running it (it’s my only computer that still has a disc drive) and it’s honestly a usable machine again.
I mean, I’ve heard criticisms about literally every form of digital musical storefront… I don’t know what criticism there would be for Bandcamp that Spotify doesn’t do worse for musicians. Music availability notwithstanding.
I think XFCE Mint is a good experience. That said, depending on how W10 has been running for you, Cinnamon won’t be worse than that.
Oh yeah for sure. I think if Gnome works for people they should use it. I’m not stoked on the situation of Gnome Extensions being needed for some pretty basic customisations, adding instability to the DE though.
Gnome has the apple philosophy that the user conforms to technology, not the other way around.
On Wikipedia it says Epic Games bought them in 2022, then in 2023 Songtradr bought Bandcamp off Epic. Songtradr then fired half of Bandcamp staff.
Eh… they’re still doing Bandcamp Fridays this year where they take no commission. I just had a look and this year it’s:
May 2nd
August 1st
September 5th
October 3rd
December 5th
Yeah that rec shocked me. Bandcamp surely if possible is best for the artist.
Maybe you have other information that I’m not aware of, but this article gives what looks to me a balanced review of whether Andy Yen supports Trump or not:
It’s not a cut and dry pro-MAGA situation.
It seems to hit that right balance of bleeding edge while SUSE are still testing the packages for a bit to ensure there aren’t bad updates. Fedora sounds interesting to me as well, but I’m not going to fix what isn’t broken.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Gang. The only distro I haven’t been able to break after 6 months (well, I have, but I’ve been able to snapper rollback every time)
Haha, nice
Had Jellyseer break on me again on Truenas scale, something about a jellyfin API blah blah blah. Decided that Sonarr and Radarr are fine enough to interface with that I don’t need it and deleted the image.
Gods, now where on earth did we put that copy pasta…
Ah thank you, seems like he knows as much bash as me!
I’m not very good at bash at all. I was hoping someone would explain what he’s trying to say to me.
I feel that “found at” wouldn’t be a terminal printout followed by the home reference, but he’s saying the woke mond virus is on the device?
Is he saying it’s a program that “deleted” the ability to “rm -rf”? Why would removing files (recursively and forced) be something it would do? Why would the options -rf be there? Wouldn’t it be enough to delete the rm binary?
Traceroute woke mind virus, is woke mind virus an IP address or something? I thought it was a program based on the above lines. He’s expecting to find the route to the woke mind virus IP address with this command?
What is Elon saying?
I did a physics degree and am comfortable with Joules, but in the context of electricity bills, kWh makes more sense.
All appliances are advertised in terms of their Watt power draw, so estimating their daily impact on my bill is as simple as multiplying their kW draw by the number of hours in a day I expect to run the thing (multiplied by the cost per kWh by the utility company of course).
I was really confused by that and that the decided units weren’t just in W (0.1 kW is pretty weird even)
Agreed, especially if the point is to breathe life into old hardware.
I watched this a couple of weeks ago. It’s good to be reminded that it’s okay to be imperfect at online privacy.
TOR is basically incognito mode for me now and I think that’s my personal best use of it.
