A once in a lifetime experience!

that’s awesome, did not know about that handy operator!

The other command could just be printf '' >> file to not overwrite it. Or even simpler >>file and then interrupt

When your function literally returns the void

It’s under Profile > Saved , but you have to hit the filter button to select Show Comments

I don’t want to think of what the FaceTime integration would be like…

It’s not really the ideal method, but if you use the global search and type in lemm.ee, and then after submitting switch to the Communities tab, you can see communities for that instance

I’m not sure how generally effective this is, would certainly be nice to have an easy way to do this

EDIT: actually this might just be communities with “lemm.ee” in the community name, not searching on instance name

I generally agree. However, for the MDN Web docs icon, I’m not sure I’ll ever acclimate to that one, even with how often I see it. so bad. Love MDN still though

I second the recommendation of giving Linux Mint a shot. I didn’t use XP extensively but Mint is low hassle and gets out of your way.

I’m not sure it has quite the same feel, but closest I can think of that is also approachable coming from Windows. Obviously a lot of other distros also satisfy the “built by engineers” vibe.

A couple mentions in here of Linux Mint, I also recommend it having tried out a few distros before landing here. Especially if you go with an external GPU laptop, which might be a good choice for gaming needs, then Linux Mint has been really good about solving all of the annoying driver problems that could come up.

I have a Dell G15 Ryzen (AMD with nvidia GPU), it’s been pretty good but there’s always a trade-off between bulkiness and gaming needs. It’s just a little awkward to lug around to coffee shops, but it’s certainly got enough processing power for me.

System76 was a contender too, I think I just went with whichever was on sale!

It’s 2024 and we’re still doing king and queen stuff apparently

I don’t have prime any longer and I don’t miss it, it’s overrated really. I don’t need stuff within 2 days all the time

My anecdote, granted I’m no Linux master: I recently went into a distro rigamarole, installed openSUSE, Manjaro, etc, before arriving to Mint, because I could not find one that handled my CPU and graphics and drivers setup without significant effort.

Then I installed Mint (avoiding Ubuntu and its Canonicalness), and setup was very simple and everything worked out of the box. I could run Steam with external GPU without going through many workarounds or setup using nvidia prime and launchers and so forth

Stylistically I also like cinnamon, but Mint mainly was just so low hassle and simple I have to give it props for that
