I love the Atari ST and Linux!

Nothing enrages me more when you have a very specific problem and the only result is a reddit thread that's filled with jokes, irrelevant information, and no solution.

That's disappointing. Guess I'll join another instance.

Soon enough this will actually happen. There's no way they won't try to pull this shit.

I use firefox for obvious privacy reasons but also because I can customize the UI. Chromium's interface is oversized, ugly, and locked down while on firefox I can change any aspect of it using my own CSS.

The main benefit to using Gentoo is having complete control over your system. I've been a Gentoo user for nearly 6 years so the feeling of accomplishment has worn off long ago and now I feel like I'm using any distro which is a good thing. use flags come in handy when you want to install a desktop but none of the extra crap that's bundled with it or an application that has a feature that's disabled by default that you want to enable. Most packages take less than a minute to compile and on the stable branch, most of the big stuff only needs to update once in a while. From an outsider it sounds tryhardy to use Gentoo but in reality I'm using Firefox or playing a game while something compiles in the background which isn't as often as you think. I update once a week and it's usually 4 packages that take a minute to compile.

The thing I love about Linux is that you think you're set until you find out about some cool program you never used before and then you go down a huge rabbit hole learning how to use it and customizing it to your liking.

Nothing is worse than seeing chromium-based browser users fight other chromium-based browser users. You are all using the same fucking thing!

Nice! After the first time you get the hang of it but keep in mind, If you do make your own config you will have to recompile your kernel for any hardware that isn't automatically enabled in the config like graphics, touchpad, tablets, and other peripherals you will plug into your computer. Reading up on what hardware you have helps a lot but I still manage to forget something when I have to create my own config. Thankfully you can just transfer your config to the next kernel instead of creating it all over again.

Stuff like this is why I love Linux. Without ideas like this we would be using the same old boring windows desktop for the rest of our lives. I'm all for GNOME experimenting with new ways to manage windows.

I supported sending a message on r/place but this is embarrassing

I'm using it now and I feel the same way. It makes more sense to have a workspace indicator but I'm so used to the activities text at the top left that it just feels weird. I don't care if they change it it's just weird not having it after seeing it for 6 years

Thank you! I did not expect a lemmy app to be on the app store that fast!

I'm in my early 20's but I do use Linux and and I'm a tech enthusiast. For now everybody here is 1 of the 3 but it will grow.

Gentoo on my desktop and laptop. I also have an old thinkpad T41 that runs FreeDOS which isn't linux but is still awesome.

I really like it. It lacks the endless content that reddit has but that gives me and everyone else the incentive to start making post which is something I never did on reddit.
