I can’t stand GNOME, but I understand that other people like it.

People who say Bazzite isn’t for tinkerers just misunderstand it. It’s extremely tinker friendly, just not in the ways people are used to.

I’d say it’s actually a lot more tinker friendly because it’s super easy to revert changes.

Bazzite is phenomenal. Just know that it works a little differently than what I’d call “legacy” distros. So when googling things, just know that a lot of instructions for Linux won’t work for you.

If you run into trouble, hop on the discord and someone will help you.

I’ve been on Linux for 10 months or so, but I still have Windows installed on a separate disk. I guess if I needed the space I’d worry about deleting it, but I’m good for now. I have booted into Windows only a handful of times over those 10 months, and the stretches get longer and longer.

What is the “it” that you think got left behind?

You’re taking about bringing a man of control and order into that den of chaos and goblinry? I don’t think Alec would enjoy it.

I chose the middle option for things I’m not hosting, but could see myself hosting in the future.

If you use the image from the Docker repository, that is still supported.

They are probably scanning for the binary file executable.

The worst part about quadlets, IMO, is that they don’t use the same key words as podman run does. So turning a working podman container into a quadlet can be challenging.

I’m in a similar boat. The difference for me is that I can definitely tell times where I’m faster. But there are still times where I fumble around. I know that eventually, I’ll be way faster using vim motions than I ever was without them.

When I first started actually trying to use it to do work, it felt pretty bad. But once I got over the hump it felt better.

I think I’m at the point where I’m at least as fast as I used to be, if not slightly faster.

I work in Java almost every day, and I’ve never once thought it looked like porn.xml

My team just got forced off of Slack and onto Teams.

Teams is so much worse than I’d feared.

Check out Tailscale. It uses Wireguard under the hood, but it’s magic.

Of what?

You can do tons of personalization on immutable distros. It just doesn’t work the way you’re used to. I use Aurora and it’s an excellent tinkerer’s OS.

What is the part for? What does it do?

Comments shouldn’t explain code. Code should explain code by being readable.

Comments are for whys. Why is the code doing the things it’s doing. Why is the code doing this strange thing here. Why does a thing need to be in this order. Why do I need to store this value here.

Stuff like that.

I suppose it depends on the OS. But the Universal Blue OSs, Bazzite, Bluefin, and Aurora are the ultimate tinkerer’s OSs even though they are immutable.

Instead of Bazzite, Aurora or Bluefin great options. They’re from the same people, but more general purpose. I use Aurora dx (developer) and my non technical wife uses Aurora.
