“Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two…”
This comment brought to you by the anti-snap gang.
Good luck with fighting dependency hell!
Also, stop slobbering over shuttlecock. Centralized repos run by big corporation is not free as in libre, it’s free - as in free to rug pull you into a SaaS model.
“But you can make your own!”
If you modify the client and if you recreate the backend to actually make snaps. It’s in essence proprietary technology posing as open source.
Also, I do use flatpaks on my NixOS to get packages directly from vendors and not from some wannabe app store. Yes, Flathub allows vendors to post directly.
Even though the FreeDesktop dependencies are big, it’s still much more free than snaps.
Bish, I use NixOS. I have defeated dependency hell by sacrificing storage space to just say “fudge it, give me ALL THE DEPENDENCIES!!! Rip off their ELF heads!!”.
We are not the same.
Take the red USB and it always ends with you deep in a forum and the terminal app.

Dude, you’re getting a dell …
And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it…
Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left “mystery” USB drives with media from the “future”, themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn’t wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.
The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)
And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!
Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.
Although I formatted the hard drive and sold the PC to a secondhand electronic shop, that PC is still part of the 5G Vax botnet today.
That PC has Remote Vax™ Technology to Vaxxxxxxxxxxxx your kids
RFK will stop it
They see photos of childhood polio and say “look what they took from us“
At some point there was a trend where people were putting usb sticks into walls and encouraging people to plug in to them.
And Ubuntu at best.
What’s wrong with dell?
same thing that’s wrong with every brand name.
Man, I thought the dude did something really bad but he just got accused of buying weed imagine getting cancelled over an accusation
That was they’re slogan back in the day.
Bruh dell maintains dkms in linux (kernel driver management thingy)

You take the green USB, it’s Ventoy.
You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it’s GParted.Ah, shit, TempleOS.
Yes, I have TempleOS on my drive, why not, it’s just a few MB.
I look at the cool elephant whenever I’m feeling down
Plot twist it was really clonezilla.

The rest of us should just do what the transbians do and sleep with each other.

Day 1,095 of begging Autodesk to put F360 on Linux so I can ditch windows
I know, they won’t, but I’m gonna keep asking anyway
Hey, same boat. I’ve tried FreeCAD and Ondsel (which is supposed to be a more intuitive version of FreeCAD)… But they are both so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.
Luckily Blender works great on Linux for less functional designs.

People often recommend Linux alternatives, but that’s the thing—an alternative on Linux has to be a preferable to just booting into a spare Windows hard drive.
If restarting my computer, booting up windows, opening F360, modeling my part, exporting it to a flash drive, restarting my computer, and booting back into Linux is faster than figuring out how to make that same model in OpenSCAD or whatever, then I’m gonna be restarting my computer a lot.
I feel you

“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with your computer. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”
People that chose the “red” drive … Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, … well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed
pillsdrives for different distros and the ominous warning be like “you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit”.Why are both of the USB drives red?
Because choice is an illusion.
Both are Linux.
I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it’s just red USB.
How did that happen?
Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.
I’ve heard of being blocked from a specific service like Xbox Live but never the whole of Microsoft. How would people get Windows updates? It’s crazy.
It’s not all of Microsoft, you just can’t download ISOs from their website.
Fair enough

Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu ™
I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.
I might have to give that one a try.
My work machine with mint has an Intel iGPU and a discrete nvidia one and things seem pretty good, but I don’t really play games on it.
I can confirm that PopOS works well on devices with both an iGPU and an nvidia dGPU.
Never heard of it. If its so good you would think someone would be talking about it.
You can’t be serious, can you?
Pretty sure that’s a joke, Lemmy’s in love with Mint.
Must be one of those super obscure meme distros.
Pop_OS is actually quite popular.
I’ve heard of that.
How come with bsd it’s more of a dig your own hole sort of adventure?
