Followup to why you should switch to Nobara Linux. Also, some scripts I’ve compiled for distro hopping the fedora flavors.

Loginwall?

Just click no thanks and you should be able to read the article.

The link from Lemmy takes you to an email sign-up page instead of actual content that requires you click “No Thanks” first before you can continue. I should have stopped there but I didn’t. To bypass the sign up page copy the link and remove the “r” variable from the query string first.

The only thing I saw referencing Nobaru linux was a link near the top of the page to who knows where. The rest of the page is filled with words haphazardly forced together against their will, and it shows.

Lol, just click no.

Have you learned nothing from paywalled articles and blogs from 2002? You get them interested in what you have to say. Make them laugh. Compliment them. Put in a little work first.

By then you’ll both be so into it that nicely asking for what you want to do is a mere (but neccessary) formality (consent is always required – Ed.).

Then after a few paragraphs you whip out the unskippable popup and stop the fun until they show you the goods, and they’ll give up that fake email address you want so bad willingly.

You don’t go right for it right out of the gate and shoot your wad immediately. It’s a good way to make sure no wants to check you out again. It’s just bad form. People talk.

Furiously taking notes… Not really though, while substack has some annoying behavior, setting a paywall is up the the writer. I turned it off.

If you aren’t familiar with Immutable operating systems, well here’s the shortest way I can describe it: Immutable Linux refers to a type of Linux operating system where the core system files are set to be unchangeable, or “immutable.” This means that these core files cannot be modified during regular use, which helps in preventing accidental or malicious alterations. This approach enhances security and stability, as it reduces the risk of system corruption or attacks. Users can still install and update software, but these actions are typically handled in a way that keeps the core system untouched.

Very well put!

The Firefox install (although lacking any detail) may be

  • missing “use portal” setting in about:config
  • missing decorations so it saves space but the Gnome style ones suck as the hitbox is not in the corner

Kubuntu really is a mess, dont recommend to anyone. Their installer sucks! And its like, one of the most known Distros…

I recommend the SyncThingy Flatpak, it just works.

Thank you for the feedback. SyncThingy is awesome. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it.

Wtf are people so upset about?

Yes Syncthingy was one of the last things I needed to find before switching to Kinoite.

…Before QGis and Rstudio which I run in a Fedora39 Distrobox including the iucar/cran COPR and R-CoprManager

Let me save you from reading this.

Why I left nobara: because I did… Then scattered rambling that goes nowhere and certainly doesn’t end with a twist.

A real tech twist is when spin mode on the smart fleshlight malfunctions

I’ve got some bad news for you.

im honestly wondering why there are ai images in this article? they don’t contribute anything id prefer screenshots instead to actually see relevant stuff - like with the line about garuda’s ui. otherwise a pretty ok article

mortalic@lemmy.world on 13 Jan 2024 06:08 collapse

Honestly, it’s an engagement experiment.

t0m5k1@lemmy.world on 13 Jan 2024 12:16 next collapse

The community is fed up with hearing about distro hopping as it does nothing and goes nowhere other than to yet another distro.

How do you know that? Is this your article?

It’s almost funny how shit this article is. It went over everything except nobara

conciselyverbose@kbin.social on 13 Jan 2024 11:02 collapse

Pretty sure "nobara is fine, but I want to change for change to explore the space more" was the point.

But nobara doesn't belong in the title for that.

deathmetal27@lemmy.world on 13 Jan 2024 07:05 next collapse

substack

Ignored.

t0m5k1@lemmy.world on 13 Jan 2024 12:13 next collapse

Why do we need to know why yet another person has decided to stop using some Linux distro?

This is pointless content for the sake of it. You even made one previously about why you started using the distro back last August, and that was just as pointless.

Please stop.

I thought you were going to talk about rebasing between different OStree branches without reinstalling. Would have been more interesting than this, and a feature many people overlook of Fedoras atomic distros
