Linux (/ˈlɪnʊks/ LIN-uuks)[16] is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel,[17] a kernel first released on 17 September 1991, by Linus Torvalds.[18][19] Linux is typically packaged as a Linux distribution (a.k.a distro), which includes the kernel and supporting system software and libraries – most of which are provided by third parties – to create a complete operating system. Linux was originally designed as a clone of Unix and is released under the copyleft GPL license.[20]

Linux@lemmy.ml•Experienced Linux users, what are you using?English
5·5 months agoI’m daily driving it and it’s pretty nice. I was on fedora before and mint before that.
Your lucky. I haven’t seen prices like that in years. We’re around $5 in the northwest us
How do they know about these prints?

0·6 months agoI’m not saying you should be a jerk to him. Just don’t let his dreams drive yours. You can be honorable and also pursue your desires.
Edit: side note… For all you know, John told you about his romantic interests because he was jealous of how Jane was acting towards you.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Proton has ties to Israel. What's a safe alternative?English
1·7 months agoI don’t think having a server somewhere is necessarily a bad thing. If you choose to use that server it’s up to you.

I’m over on the other side of the states in the PNW. Also running a 5950x! We’re computer twinsies
I’m in the States but they were great about it. Issued an RMA and sent me new RAM. Total turnaround from me shipping bad ram to receiving new was only about a week. I haven’t tested the new RAM yet but assume it will be fine. I couldn’t ask for a much better process to be honest

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The reality of Discord and its alternativesEnglish
4·7 months agoIt might have been fluxer but I’m not positive. I’ve been looking at all of the options because I need an alternative so there’s lots of mixed info in my brain. I should have started a spreadsheet

16·7 months agoRead the privacy policies too. I can’t remember which one I was reading yesterday but it read like they were going to monitor every word I said… All the while saying they are privacy advocates and based in Europe

Privacy@lemmy.ml•How to solve Discord's age verification issuesEnglish
4·7 months agoYeah I’ve tried both. Stoat looks good and seems like the best option for similar organization but matrix seems better in terms of privacy. If matrix wasn’t so clumsy it would be hands down the best option.

6·7 months agoIs there a new "default"platform everyone is moving to? I’m kind of surprised there isn’t an open source discord clone that comes with e2e encryption. I’m not tech savvy enough to understand the challenges involved I’m sure.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?English
1·7 months agoThat’s not what I said. My experience with nobara personally hasn’t been great and while I use bazzite at home for gaming PC but wouldn’t recommend it at this moment because it seems that the dev team is having some drama. I use cachy daily and find it wonderful and super easy. Not the arch difficulty that I was expecting. It’s a downstream.









After working with it for a bit the only con I have at this point is my drafting program isn’t supported so I run it within a virtual machine on a second monitor. It’s hard to even tell it’s running in a vm but it’s kind of annoying. So far drafting and robust PDF editors have been the only weak area. That’s not even Linux though, it’s a lack of support from software vendors.
