It’s not you. There are many things you simply cannot do in the settings app.

Slackware. Installed from 3.5" floppy disk.

Oh really?

Do ssh-copy-id next please.

This will be a nice improvement for me.

I didn’t know there was an app! I use the website constantly.

I have a spare nvme SSD and recently took a weekend to play with various Linux desktop distributions. EndeavorOS and Pop! OS were my favorite. But I have an RTX 3080 and can’t afford to replace it with an AMD GPU. It didn’t work well enough with my games. I’m really attached to HDR which seems to be coming but is not generally available for most games yet. I feel like the writing is on the wall and Windows will not be a suitable option for me in the near future, but right now I have the least issues with Windows 11.

I use Linux all the time for hosting various services at work, but never with a GUI.

This was my experience as well. It worked great if your hands were out in front of you but if you needed to move your arms around (beat saber, any archery game, etc) it just didn’t work.

I started on kbin. The content I was enjoying was all from lemmy.world so when I ditched kbin I just came over here.

Yeah if you just want a little computer, sure, pick up the orange pi. But if you want any of the gpio stuff get a raspberry pi because none of the knockoffs seem to work with modern kernel.

My first was Jingo. Picked it up at Value Village to read the first few sentences and could not put it down. Now I’ve been through the series several times and will surely start over again soon.

I enjoyed Malazan Book of the Fallen so much, but at a certain point I gave up on trying to figure out which confusing plot elements were due to me forgetting an earlier reference and which were intended to be a mystery and tried to enjoy the story for what was in front of me. Re-reading the series cleared up a lot of my questions but not all of them by any means. It’s an enormous story! I think I might hit this series up again after the book I’m reading now.

Everything by Martha Wells. I’m into fantasy more than sci-fi, but Murderbot Diaries got me started. Loved Witch King, and I’m now reading through the Ile-Rien series. I’d say her more recent work is her best but I’m enjoying the older stuff a lot.

I don’t even know you but I am stoked for you! I discovered Discworld a few years back as an adult and have been through the series several times since. It’s my go-to when I need a diversion and don’t have a new book or series that I’m excited for. The series is just amazing.
