Hey Congratulations! I just started my linux journey a couple years ago too, just the same way you did without any duelbooting! I'll share one thing I found out recently: apparently neofetch was abandoned by it's developer, and now is no longer maintained. instead, a lot of people suggest using fastfetch! it works the same except its faster and still maintained! otherwise I hope you continue to enjoy your linux journey, welcome to team penguin!

intro to programming! ive been told I'm pretty good at breaking things down in a way a beginner would understand and programming is something that can be so intimidating to outsiders, I'd want to help lower the bar to entry and enable people to become passionate in programming when they otherwise wouldn't

not crazy, I'm 26 and have been daydreaming about quitting my "cushy" wfh tech job and going back to being a grocery store cashier for at least 2 years now. wfh is so isolating for me, and my adhd time management shortcomings spike my anxiety. I'm too tired to be interested in personal code projects, server hosting, or linux in my off time, and my office now has a background sense of dread rather than the safe gaming space it used to be.

I just want to show up, at the same time every day, be friendly to people and help them with small tasks, and then leave work at work after at the end of the day. a consistent schedule, friends, and not having tech forced on me 24/7 would do wonders for my mental health, not to mention boons to physical health needing to move around every day. I just can't afford to go back to minimum wage right now

I was on the metro recently and didnt feel like using my phone. tried to zone out into space but kept feeling like people were looking at me funny, noticing I wasn't looking down at a phone. made me feel so u comfortable I took my phone out and forced myself to use it for the next 20 mins

I use Nobara and I recoomend it to all my friends (the ones who like linux anyway).

while its true that really no linux distro will have any significant better game performance than another, Nobara stands out to me because its made by GloriousEggroll (the same guy who makes the protonGE patches for steam) for his dad so that his dad can have a simple no-fuss gaming computer they can use to game together.

the specific things I like about it are how it helps you get the correct graphics drivers and game/controller fixups at installation, and comes with steam preinstalled. I also like how the Nobara software updater also handles flatpaks as well as regular packages, its my one stop graphical (or CLI) shop for downloading or updating any new programs.

I also like its themes and that its based on Fedora.

I like joining 5+ mins early so I can just sit in silence and work while waiting for the meeting to start rather than stressing about needing to lock at the clock (j have adhd and tend to hyperfocus). plus I dont mind a little small talk, but even so no one else on my team seems to want to smalltalk so even if someone else joins early it's pretty quiet

I'm trying to move away from Authy since they're ending support for their desktop app, and I thought Aegis would be the right app for me to jump to, but it doesn't seem to have a desktop app. So I'm wondering what FOSS apps the rest of you use for Desktop and Mobile 2FA?

 

I knew they said they'd be removing a few lesser-used cars, but 189?! I was going to buy some of the ones they removed too! These are not just old sh*t boxes from when the game first came out. I'm so incredibly disappointed in rockstar right now. I was excited to try the update before, but now that they're taking fomo and dripfeed to this level, I think it's best if I just try to stay away from online games like this where the experience can change at the drop of a hat anytime the developer or their boss feels like it.
