  • Upgrades are easy, backups are really good, if upgrades mess up, you can restore from backup even if NC is hosed. As for local storage, I never did it, but here's the docs for it! https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/external_storage/local.html

  • New language
  • Cargo is really simple, which is great, but also limiting. Maven is much more complex, but for good reason - there's use cases, especially around multi-artifact projects and version sharing, where cargo would require either some glue or you run into some interesting edge cases. Usually, Rust isn't used for the kinds of big, wacky projects with a million dependencies that companies write in Java/Kotlin, so those kinds of use cases are considered more unusual.

    Gradle, in my opinion, makes itself complex because it's all code, is very brittle, and several of its features just don't work right and require workarounds. When it works, it builds fast and it works well, but getting it to work, and how often you have to get it to work again...not worth it.

  • Fedora proposal to change default desktop to KDE
  • If I recall correctly, the desktop right click menu was one of the things they fixed in Plasma 6, actually.

    Check the list, bud. It's far from just obscura.

  • They recently started bringing it back, so there's a 5-10 year span where it wasn't taught.

  • That's LTT in the bottom
  • Majority by number of distros, or only including desktop Linux distros? Because yeah, if you're including server distros, that's true, and if you count it by the number of distros, that's true, but most people use one of a handful of distros on their desktop. Both gnome and KDE have software centers which you can use to install stuff without the command line.

  • It just means your KDE version is newer, it's also the distro made by the KDE devs. I'm not too worried about canonical, they're annoying, but it rarely affects me.

  • Just get KDE from the horse's mouth then and use KDE Neon. Ubuntu packages, but snapd isn't even installed by default. It also ships with rolling release stable KDE, but isn't rolling release otherwise.

  • And I don't plan to switch back either. Everything is just better on Linux for me
  • Try a few of the options here. I personally have used powertop and tlp and they help, but the best mix for your hardware might be different.

  • Apple reforms App Store rules to allow third-party payment methods in the U.S. but will still charge a commission fee
  • Yes, but you, who I assume follow this mindset, do buy things under capitalism, since you must in order to live. How, then, do you decide?

  • Apple reforms App Store rules to allow third-party payment methods in the U.S. but will still charge a commission fee
  • I think that is a useless mental model. It doesn't help you make decisions except those that lead to revolution. The person you're replying to is trying to point that out. If I want to buy a phone, which should I buy? Your rhetoric says "whichever one will lead to revolution", which really isn't helpful.

  • TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism
  • I'm more talking about laptops, you can use it without paying for it on a device you build yourself, albeit with some functionality restricted.

  • TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism
  • Oh no, the manufacturer of any computer with a windows license paid for it and passed that cost to you. You paid for it.

  • TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism
  • Imagine paying for Windows. What a waste of money.

  • Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times
  • I have it set up. Try the AIO docker image. Once you get it set up, it pretty much just works. You just pick which office suite you want, check a few optional features if you want 'em, and it handles the rest for you. Most importantly, the AIO image is from nextcloud. They test it, it always works because it is the blessed version from them. If you're not a Linux guy, don't try the other installation methods, they're much, much more difficult.

  • Your PC will thank you...
  • If you're using pipewire, try XDAJackRetask, I use it for that purpose.
