Is Ubuntu deserving the hate?
  • Thats fair. I've jumped that ship a while back.
    I checked and they seem to use wayland by default on gnome at least

  • 2 years on GNU/Linux - a retrospective attempt
  • Funny that the printer was the thing that cemented the shift. Ive either been really lucky or linux is much better than windows for printers

  • Is Ubuntu deserving the hate?
  • Havent installed debian with a desktop environment in a long time. If its still default then its just that, default... meaning you could change it

  • Is Ubuntu deserving the hate?
  • As the other reply said, Fedora and RHEL harbor the same problem as Ubuntu in terms of corporate backing.
    They're all as stable at it gets when it comes to linux distros; all those "server distributions".

    I guess people recommend debian because that's what they know. It's got the biggest community, so the most support.
    Nothing against Rocky, but i wont recommend it if i've never used it.

  • Is Ubuntu deserving the hate?
  • Unstable is pretty damn stable, feels arch-y to me, and arch rarely has issues. If there are issues they're fixed fast.
    Testing is the middle ground. Tested for a bit by unstable peeps but thats it.

  • Is Ubuntu deserving the hate?
  • People dont hate on ubuntu cause its inherently bad. They hate on it because its a corporate distro and they do some questionable stuff sometimes. The OS runs fine.

    Why not debian unstable? Its better than ubuntu in pretty much every way imo. Somewhat less user friendly i guess.

  • Mull vs Fennec
  • Ok yeah im in the exact same boat. Mull was also unusable on stock on android 14 (pre gos release); i kinda expected it to fix it.
    It works just fine still on my pixel 4a so its odd...

  • Mull vs Fennec
  • Not on mobile, no

  • Mull vs Fennec
  • I personally have used mull exclusively in the past, but use Fennec currently.

    Commenting here just to ask others: mull has been terrible since Android 14. Is that just for me? Pages not loading at all until cache is cleared every few minutes, its been completely unusable for me so i switched.
    Nothing like that on their github or nothing. Im on a pixel8/grapheneOS

  • [Solved] How to know why a package is being updated/installed
  • I believe Pacman -Si or -Sii [package name] is what you are looking for.

    -Sii is reverse dependencies iirc

  • [Request] Where to start with dot files?
  • The standard is to have dotfiles in your ~/.config folder, however not all apps follow that.
    Some apps dump their config files in your home, others only have files in /etc or /usr and you have to copy them yourself to modify them

  • Getting super emotional and depressed on a monthly cycle?
  • Kind of like the other comment said, ive felt this. It got a lot less bad over time, i assume its just foreign feelings for your body/mind.
    Im pretty used to depression but those episodes felt very different than my normal downs like it was caused by a different chemical process if that makes sense 😂

    My worse months were like 2 to 6

  • TIL that shirt buttons are on the right for men, but on the left for women.
  • Yeah learning this sucked. Cuter shirts but harder to button

  • Love devs' attitude towards piracy, TruePianos v1.9.8 (audio VSTi plugin)
  • I do this with games. A lot of games dont even really get a demo anymore. So its gambling to buy it...
    I pirate the games and if i like it i buy it. Generally ill keep playing the pirated version unless it has a multiplayer i want to play as well.

  • You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose?
  • If you go further back in time you can get back to fairly queer friendly societies

  • How do you justify continually using take out delivery services?
  • When am i not under the influence?

  • Firefox for Android is getting 400 new browser extensions - and you can try some now
  • The "annoyances" filters in ublock stop the cookie popups

  • which distro and why do you prefer it over others?
  • That sort of thing is another great reason to love nix.

  • which distro and why do you prefer it over others?
  • Thank you for the reply :)

  • Most private crypto wallet?
  • Im not a big crypto person, but ive owned some in the past.
    Isnt any reputable wallet pretty much the same? From my understanding, especially when using something like monero, the privacy falls apart at the exchange, not the wallet.

  • Suggestions for cartoons

    Ive been on a cartoon binge this past month or so. I've watched The Owl House, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Steven Universe, Kipo and the age of Wonderbeasts, She-Ra... I'm looking for more recommendations that include queer characters. Cartoons are preferred, anime is cool too (mainly if it has a good dub), and i'm also open to real shows if they're good!

    Also only sorta related, but anyone got some advice on consuming Sailor Moon? Is the manga better? Also is there an order to the anime/movies, im a little lost on where to start.
