Yes, just lightly press on the brake pedal.

Immich photos are one of the main thing I backup. I use duplicacy and I backup to backblaze B2 storage. It does incremental backups. Same thing with docker persistent data or other things I consider important.

Why this complicated setup? Komodo handles auto update by itself. It also update the whole stack at once, so no shutdown of the BD while the app stays up. Just have 2 checkboxes to tick.

The less stuff the better, it’s essential in case you have a failure. I only have to redeploy komodo, then all my stacks will be ready to get back online. I even removed watchtower.

Yeggi, their search is also way better.

I have a surface go 3 and a surface pro 7. I installed Arch on both and also enabled secure boot. Installing Arch works, but wifi on the installation drive doesn’t work. I plug in a usb hub with Ethernet and I’m fine after. Enabling secure boot is harder, but it can work.

Didn’t follow that, thx for the info! I’ll look to use freecad instead.

I tried Onshape and now switched to ondsel which is freecad but with a different user interface.

I’ve had success with it. I find onshape to be a little easier to work with, but I find owning my files more important.

I had muscle memory, but I think it was QRRASE or something like that then put on weapon. Next time you attack, you cast a row of exploding icicles that put wet status and electrocute your enemies and really slow them down. Almost nothing in the game can resist. It makes the game stupid easy. You kill any boss in a few hits. You can also cast it around you, but it’s way too easy to kill yourself. The combo is hard to pull off the few first time, but once you get the touch, you’re unstoppable.

Also, cast SAFE on you regularly, easy to remember and its a very strong defense.

A lot of people use a combination of QFQFASA beam. It’s high damage, but you’re a sitting duck, never liked it.

What’s important is the combos. There are very powerful combos that render the game very easy.

Yeah, I wasn’t close for a picture and I didn’t know how to explain it (English isn’t my main language). Just has to remember to take a picture next time I went to the bathroom 😆

This

The side of the toilet paper. My best friend is a mad men and puts it on the wrong side. He always changes it whenever he goes to the toilet somewhere.

Its just funny, my gf made a frame specifically for him in our bathroom and at one point we duck taped the shit out of the toilet paper dispenser so he wouldn’t be able to change it. Made everyone laugh.

As I said to people I know, fun. I have fun setting this up. Its a hobby. I like to search for bargains and build the automations. If you don’t have fun doing it, its usually not really worth it. It gets expensive quick and its kind of a lot of work to research and setup if you want to keep your privacy.

I use qtile on X11 and hyprland on Wayland. There is an option on hyprland for exactly that (idleinhibit window rule), but didn’t find a good solution on qtile yet. Anyway I have issues with qtile for other things too (because of X11 mainly).

Plex desktop is also only on flathub.

Damn, that’s sad, I love when they make the separate since usually I can put the paid app on my family library.

I’ve been an on and off Linux user for a long time, but my main OS used to be Windows. I recently switched to Linux (Arch btw) and I love it.

For my use cases, here is what I like about windows:

• Office 365
• Gaming
• Onedrive
• Just works
• touch screen and touch pad
• Hardware support
• Autohotkey (can live without)
• Software compatibility
• VR
• Parsec

Here is what I like about Linux

• Dynamic tiling window managers.
• Customization, I can have my notifications on the top right, the way I like them.
• Smooth as fuck: very fast!
• Very clever solutions (looking into NixOS currently for example)
• Terminal: fun to use and it’s fast!
• Much more control over my system.

The things I dislike about windows are mainly that it’s stupid slow compared to Linux and the growing presence of telemetry and ads (though I wasn’t that affected). Also, I can’t replace windows default shortcuts or some functionalities.

What I dislike about Linux is that there is always something that doesn’t work properly. I currently have issues with DPMS. My laptop has trouble with the behavior if the touchpad, sometimes the gestures work, sometimes they don’t, it depends on its mood I guess. I tried Wayland, but with a nvidia card it has a lot of issues, I had to go back to X which sucks since I really prefer the way wayland works. I’m quite technical, but sometimes the solutions don’t really work.

I read a few things in this thread that I disagree with though, namely:

• You can launch apps from PowerShell (terminal)
• You can have package managers, I used scoop, choco and winget. Every app that I use can be installed and updated with those, from PowerShell.
• Pretty sure you can update your system from PowerShell, then you probably can make a script to update everything.
• You can disable auto-updates and auto-reboot in Windows. I never had my computer reboot on me and it stays open 24/7. What I liked is auto-update, but no auto-reboot. I chose when to reboot, only had a notification which was disabled when I was playing a game.
• There are options for launchers, the windows menu or powertoy run.
• You can create shortcuts (similar to .desktop) and you can also make a bat script instead of a bash script.

A lot of comments are about a knowledge deficit, not a capability deficit from Windows.

On my surface go 3, I used pop os at first and the screen tearing was so bad that I stopped using it. I then changed for arch with gnome on wayland and everything works much better.

Though, for my main computer, I recently switched my main OS from Windows and went for Hyprland on Arch. I love it. Most applications run fine. Though I have a 3080. This means that most electron apps are very slow, almost unusable. Also, some applications just refuse to open, notably Plex. For jellyfin, half the time the screen is black and I need to restart the app. I also have a KVM switch that I use for my work computer. When I switched to it and came back, I got a red screen of death for which I had to exit Hyprland and get back to SDDM to log back in. I was able to start and play games though. Global shortcuts didn’t work easily (feature, not a bug), so I want to use a support app for Path of Exile. Impossible on Wayland. And finally, I tend to use a screenshoting tool. Flameshot isn’t available on wayland so I used snappy, but it doesn’t freeze the frame, rendering it useless.

Now I switched over qtile in X11. Everything works fine, electron apps are much more snappy. Most importantly, the WM doesn’t crash when I use my KVM, so my sound device works perfectly. The only issue I’m facing is the audio, there seem to have a very small delay (I’m using pipewire).

The only thing that I miss now is a way for me to assign an audio output to an application so that if I close the application it even restart my computer, that assignment is still remembered. Currently I have a tool that does that that I autostart with my WM, but it doesn’t redirect the audio, it just adds the other assignment without removing the default audio output.

There you go, wayland is not recommended if you have a nvidia GPU, even though it still works.

Just don’t care and use them. People understand them. Maybe they’re not used to hearing it, but it doesn’t matter. This is what I do and never cam across someone who was so dense that he didn’t understand me. I also never had someone tell me that it was strange to do so.

Oh I didn’t know about the repository. Can it sync my settings between devices so I don’t have to reconfigure every time I hop on a new computer?
