I get it. Date your distro, marry your browser.

I miss the level of customization you could do in Vivaldi, down to minute details. But I don’t miss it enough to put up with ads and tracking nonsense.

I started on Firefox back when it was a beta called Phoenix. I eventually moved to chromium based browsers like the rest of the world, but now I’m back. I’ve come full circle!

My wife didn’t even notice when I turned on the pi-hole. She also told me she thinks there’s a virus on her phone.

I made the switch from Vivaldi back to Firefox recently. I loved Vivaldi, but I’m happy with Firefox too.

Yes, I am fully capable of being a different person: efficient, organized and methodical. I just choose not to because the opposite is so fulfilling.

I dreamt about blowing a guy once when I was a teenager. Does that qualify me as a gay?

What about neither and tailscale (free) on all your devices? Or are you often phoning home on outside devices?

I personally bought a domain name (namecheap) for my vps. Then I set up ddclient on my home pc to fetch my external IP every so often and update namecheap. But I didn’t feel it was secure enough. Tailscale is easier, and i feel like it adds a layer of security.

If you are still dual booting, btrfs has a very good windows driver. Btrfs is newer and only recently started becoming the default on a couple mainline OSes. Ext4 has been around forever and is assumed to be much more stable.

Fwiw, I’ve been using btrfs for the last 18 months or so without any issue. I don’t use any of the tools. There’s no obvious or immediate performance difference like there was in the old days. We’re all on SSDs now and they’re fast no matter what.

I was using the stock kde plasma wallpaper for about two years until last week. I installed alien Bob’s daw suite (slackware) and caught that it added a second/new wallpaper option to kde’s menu. So I switched to it.

Am I one of you now?

Just like leasing a fancy Mercedes to keep up with the Joneses when you’re already approaching six figures of credit card debt.

Is he showing her his weiner in the second frame? I don’t get it.

Kde connect is wonderful

Are you your own dependency manager too?

Some day I’m going to get someone in one of these “what distro should I try?” posts to install slackware and fall in love with it.

In a word: yarrrrr

That’s actually next on my list to check out.

Armbian is a really cool project. So is batocera. I have a few SBCs to play with.

Nah, I’m just a hobbyist. I’m a n00b compared to all the regulars in the slackware channel on IRC. But I love tinkering and learning. I’d need your help to install vanilla arch, just like you’d probably need mine to get started on slackware. (The slackware install is actually super easy).

I’ve been trying to distrohop the past couple months, see what else is out there. I wasn’t paying attention installing Garuda and borked my EFI partition. I did manage to chroot into my still working slackware partition, but I couldn’t figure out how to re-install grub. So I formatted and did a fresh slackware install.

Haha, I’ve been daily driving slackware since the late 90s. I like to tinker and install a lot of stuff. I seem to break anything with an automated package manager and dependency resolution.

How can it be both the year of ARM and the year of the linux desktop?

Get that downvote finger ready!

Arch.

I know it’s what all the cool kids are using, and I keep trying to like it, but I just can’t get into it. I’m a slacker for life.

Next door made me want to move. There were more old, racist trumpers on there than my neighborhood Facebook page.
