That’s beautiful. Card backs?

I’ve never been into vector graphics, but I had reason to use Inkscape recently, and I was actually surprised by how easy to use it was and how much the UI made sense.

I’ve got things that need to run periodically set up in crontab, and create menu launchers for things that I run as needed.

This is so cute.

I’ve played WoW on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. No problems there.

Haha, that fluffy snow is fun.

Interesting! How long is your growing season? I moved from an area where plants grew nearly all year round to a place where it’s too cold 6 months out a year, and I’ve had quite a few casualties, sadly. I’m having to relearn what they need during the seasons, and when to do what.

Is it normal to have snow at this time of the year? Here, the flowers are blooming, the trees are putting out new growth, and the birds have returned from their winter habitats.

I need to put my outdoor plants back outdoors. I think we’re past the cold nights.

With Ollama, all you have do is copy an extra folder of ROCm files. Not hard at all.

With an AMD RX 6800 + 32gb DDR4, I can run up to a 34b model at an acceptable speed.

My distro struggles despite being one of the more widely-used and known. There are never enough people to do everything that needs to be done. And I see constantly that projects I care about don’t have enough help to fix bugs, test, or continue development. FOSS is a community effort. Not every user needs to be a professional, but everyone should learn enough about how a computer works to be able to contribute in some way. Everything being done by a few frustrated, overworked people isn’t healthy or sustainable.

FOSS software needs to be maintained by the user base to survive. Not enough people contributing is a big problem for many, if not most, open source projects, including the big names. If not enough people care enough to learn, the project dies out and disappears.

Yeah, I try to avoid anything with Google attached to it. I have been curious about Gemma 3, though.

The new banner is amazing! I love it. The llama icon is really cute, too.

Yep. I’ve had no problems with x11. It’s always been super stable.

After years of using Linux, the last time I used Vim, I remembered for the first time how to go into command mode, exit, and save the file I was editing without looking anything up.

I liked Snaps and Flatpaks fine when I first started using Linux, and the distro I was on treated them the same as software in the repo, but I eventually started to avoid them because of the space they take up, and because I got tired of constantly having to mess around with permissions to try to get things working. Now, if something isn’t available in rpm, I use AppImage or a tarball, or compile it myself.

At some point, probably after Fedora stops supporting x11, openSUSE plans to follow suit, and it will no longer be available in the repos. There’s no firm date for when this will occur, though. I read about it on the official forum.

I use XFCE. If their Wayland support isn’t ready when openSUSE Tumbleweed eliminates support for x11, I’m not sure what I’ll go to.
