I prefer streaming. I’ll just stream movie from my Jellyfin instance instead of downloading. 😅

Why is everyone hating Discord? It’s pretty neat platform when all the features used properly.

Piracy is service problem

And features 😅

Honestly I just love that Plasma closely resembles the Windows 10/11 UI. Not that I like Windows, but because I have to deal with Windows from time to time.

Switching between Gnome UI and Windows 10/11 UI requires an effort to me. Switching betweek Plasma and Windows - almost no difference.

Plasma is fucking great!

Anything *ubuntu is not good for gaming.

If you still want Gentoo, but you are human who don’t have infitive amount of time - Arch would do.

I am so happy that my parents didn’t buy me a better laptop a decade ago, so I was forced to use a shitty thinkpad laptop. After reading online, I figured out that Linux makes it faster…

What’s your story? :)

Then find sysadmin/devops/sre/younameit job 😅

Try to browse Lemmy without finding anything about Linux 😅

On X I can do everything, on Wayland I can’t:

1. Enable hardware acceleration in some apps
2. Games have greater latency
3. Some games shadowing under wayland
4. Nvidia sometimes crashes. Their “nvidia-open” driver doesn’t work with Wayland at all

Depends. Whatever choice you pick - go with Plasma (KDE) desktop. Most of below choices have alternative desktop flavors that offer Plasma instead of Gnome.

If your goal is to play games - something like Bazzite might work.

If your goal is to have a desktop experience with some gaming, something like NobaraOS or PopOS would work.

If your goal is only desktop experience - ubuntu will work.

If your goal is to learn and have super awesome Linux desktop - Arch Linux.

Personally I am in Arch Linux for the past decade. Tried many different ones and Arch Linux is the only one that simply “just works” for me. Not suitable for beginners.

Arrrrr 😅😅😅

Before that you have to download it. Well, using p2p mechanisms.

Sir, I must ask - what are the chances that emplpyee might steal a movie? Or is it not possible because of DRM?

First time hearing about sshuttle, thanks! What I did some time ago is to order small VPS in Linode, hosted wireguard server and let my router connect to it. Since connection is established - I’ve port-forwarded all ports (except 22) from VPS to my router via established wireguard connection.

Then all I have to do is to manage port forwarding on my router, but if I want to connect to my router from outside - I must use VPS IP.

Worked great, except the fact that I used to have mobile internet and as a rule of thumb - upload speed of mobile internet suck ass…

Best use-case of AWK is that you can avoid using grep for picking a Nth word in specific line. I tend to ask GPT4 to write one-liner for me. Works super great.

Seedboxes is one of the best things to have at home.

I also have 100mbps internet and I’ve configured router with QoS - seedbox only gets letfover internet, both up & down. I can work, play (mp) games and download torrents at “full speed”, all at the same time because seedbox will never have a priority.

Using this trick I can fully live with 100mbps. Before that I had 1GBPS and honestly - I don’t miss it that much. :)

That’s what seedboxes are for. I am more than happy to download it only to re-seed.

In 5-10 years he would change his mind. As of now - kid had no idea about life.
