  • Believing in the existence of God and believing God is a being that deserves our worship are 2 different things.

    Also depends on which god and which denomination. If there are gods, it’s more likely than not that there are more than one. In Christianity, God makes a big deal of “not worshipping other gods before me” so I’m just saying. What’s considered a God anyway? Do extraterrestrial intelligent life with better technology than us count?



  • I always get screwed pretty hard with Debian drivers. Just the other day I updated my Debian server to Debian 12 and then it refused to allow my atheros 9k PCI wifi card to work unless I rebooted after a cold boot. After an entire afternoon, I got to where it wouldn’t work after a cold boot or after a reboot. I literally had to choose between buying a new wifi card or reinstalling Debian/a different distro.

    I used to only use Debian for non-laptops but from now on I don’t think I’ll install any new Debian installations on anything.







  • Usually, I do the simplest thing: all the stuff goes on one big ext4 partition. I don’t make a separate partition for /home. I’ll make a swap partition if I can remember but I’ve forgotten to do that before and nothing bad happened. The bootloader goes on a fat32 /boot/efi on the same drive as whatever the Linux install is on. This way I can swap around the drive to different pcs if I have to or easily change/upgrade drives without having to reinstall all my stuff.

    This strategy works for dual booting Windows also. I’ll put the windows install all on its own separate drive so it won’t try to erase grub during a disk check or something. That happened one time. Also, by putting Windows and Linux on separate drives you can use the bios to boot between Windows or Linux if you mess up one of the bootloaders.










  • The thing is that Boost was a really good 3rd party reddit app. It was very stable and had a lot of attention to detail and quality of life things you don’t notice until it’s gone.

    If Boost really is going to come to Lemmy and be in the same or similar level of quality as it was on reddit, it’s going to be awesome.

    I doubt my experience was the same as everyone else but I tried to install Debian on my gaming pc a week ago and I could not get Nvidia drivers to work for anything, there were no relevant search results and no one on any message board had any ideas. I gave up and installed Arch and Nvidia drivers without making any hardware changes and it was so unexpectedly easy I still can’t believe it.

    I use Debian on my server so I was shocked that it was basically impossible to get Nvidia drivers working, at least on my chipset.
