@mactan @Nimrod It’s very true that windows often disrupts multiboot setups. Just ask anyone who has a multiboot setup in place. They’ll probably agree…

@pukeko that was a fun read 🫠 strange behaviour… Was gonna say about a dirty keyboard, but it’s clearly more than that. Hope you get sorted friend 🙃

@johnglass @LeFantome @gerdesj #Vivaldi looks like a great browser, but I’ve yet to try it out & probably never will…

@LeFantome @gerdesj I’ve found a few alternatives to #chrome & #firefox over the years, but most of them weren’t all that great…

@mfat I don’t have snap or flatpak installed in any of my systems, therefore my entire system is still all upgraded with a single command…

@wildbus8979 @ChunkMcHorkle +1 for Debian. I ran Debian with XFCE for a number of years on a 2009 standard white MacBook, without any problems…

@NightAuthor @Frederic so many old posts have been resurfacing lately…

@mimichuu_ Yea I have a few off the top of my head…

1. Try to update as regularly as possible.

2. Use “netselect-apt” to get the best mirrors for APT.

3. APT supports parallel downloads, so enable them straight after installation.

4. APT caches downloaded packages by default, which can consume disk space over time. Make sure to clean it every once in a while with “sudo apt-get clean”.

@dontcarebear @ylai Debian is hard to beat… Screw corporate Linux… Stick with tried and true distros like Debian & everything will be sweet…

@mimichuu_ @exu Debian is a rock solid choice, & one you’ll never regret making…

@jackpot For me personally, I’ve found that XFCE on Arch runs faster & uses less resources compared to XFCE running on mint, Debian, or Ubuntu. Debian will always be my No.1 fav Linux distro, but for now I’m on Arch, even if I’m not really using the aur for anything other than nvidia drivers. Arch probably won’t be permanent, but for now I’m loving it, & switching back to Debian will eventually happen. Just not yet…

@Molecular0079 @AgreeableLandscape The algorithm for Lemmy is totally botched in some ways…

@TerryTPlatypus I’ve been an #xfce user my whole Linux journey, and ompared to xfce it’s missing some features that I regularly use on xfce. It also uses way more resources & requires some extensions to better it for daily use…

@antihero I use ffmpeg to extract frames from images. Yt-dlp to download youtube videos. Rmlint, to remove duplicates. Gallery-dl to sometimes download from sites like instagram or twitter & finally mpd / ncmpcpp to listen to music…

@Lemmchen @pluja Debian 12 is a great choice no matter what desktop environment or window manager you install…
