Amen.

From the admin post:

And people will STILL try to push the door, or wait for it to open.

Voluntary censorship is just so weird to me… Like, people died so you could speak freely, and yet you censor fkn… Wow.

Haha! Thank you for the explanation! I never looked into MicroOS, because I heard of Tumbleweed and wanted to give it a go since I tried one distro (it has been so long I can’t even remember right now) and didn’t like it too much.

Yeah, when things are working, and it might take a day or so to setup something else completely, I definitely understand your hesitation! :)

I got a Dell computer that was headed towards the dump from some older people, and installed TrueNAS Scale onto it. It has almost replaced my Synology I got three years ago, I just need to bite the bullet and buy new drives for it!

Hey there! Isn’t MicroOS for servers? It’s still openSUSE, but specifically for servers. I could be wrong though! :)

Yes! I’ve used quite a few of the most recommended for newbies distros, and none compare (in my experience, at least) to Tumbleweed, and that’s not even a “noob friendly” distro apparently!

Like you, I had issues when installing my new graphics card. Took a few days of rolling back before I found out the correct way to install their new “open-driver” variant. Been smooth sailing since, but I also haven’t zypper dup since then out of fear of it all going away again. :P

Lads and lassies and everything between, it is best to make a full snapshot of your working distro BEFORE doing anything crazy like installing new drivers. TRUST ME!

Awh man… They’re infiltrating Lemmy again. :(

openSUSE Tumbleweed (and any other distros that take advantage of BTRFS and snapshots) is what made me love Linux.

I’ve always used Windows, but wanted to move to Linux as it is more in line with what I feel about computers, and openSUSE made that a reality for me. Fuck something up by doing what you thought was going to be a normal operational moment? No biggie! For example, sudo snapper rollback 333, and I’m back up and running after reboot. Has literally saved me and the distro a few times now.

Needless to say, I love Windows (for what it is, hate M$ though) but I am a full Linux convert now. When I log into Linux, it feels like home. When I log into Windows, it feels like someone else’s home. :P

Yes! And they also have an Everything (way better search program than Windows has EVER been) plugin that I’ve tweaked to include Everything’s results at the top since the index it does is exponentially better than Windows’ own. Highly recommend for those that want that two button search that has always found what I was looking for on my own computer.

Shoutout to KDE for their search function, KRunner?, as it is amazing and ready to go from the get go.

It’s okay. I know reading and understanding text can be a little hard sometimes. Maybe this will help?

yawns

And now you definitely won’t be getting any left leaning policy for quite a long time. That plan worked out very well, didn’t it?! Now people are getting sent to death camps left and right, your food will now be poisoned, the air you breathe will now be poisoned, the rich are getting yet another tax break under orange mussolini, and here you people are, still trying to make yourselves feel better for a dumbass decision. It would be impressive, if not for the reality of the situation being because of dumbasses who couldn’t be bothered to vote, I ALSO have to suffer. So, to anyone who didn’t vote, voted for Trump, or voted for third party (heard anything from Jill Stein, yet? LOL), I give a hearty

FUCK. YOU.

I forget what video I watched that explained this, but it essentially said:

“The audio mixing is correct. It is mixed for full surround sound, like those you see in home theaters (probably the very expensive setups!) and actual theaters. There is no reason to have dual-mixed sound, one for those with stereo speakers and one for the surround sound setups, so they don’t.”

Every time someone points out that we have what we have because people couldn’t be bothered to show up to vote (there’s even some proof!), they always always come out to downvote and try to say that Dems didn’t personally roll out a red carpet for them to wine and dine them.

It’d be funny if Kamala had won, but with the reality they allowed, it’s quite sad and very embarrassing. Total delusional mentality.

P.S. I know that dems suck, and have been sucking. The choice was HITLER/PUTIN wannabe, or samey samey, with a little sprinkle of better plans than Biden. She even had a website that outlined what her goals were. While Trump, again, just blathered and drooled onto his podium.

Fools, the ones who allowed us here, but fools are hard to get looking at the bigger picture.

Mine too. Been tinkering with Linux since I was a lad, sudo apt get / sudo apt update is ingrained into my brain.

Now, after running openSUSE Tumbleweed, sudo zypper ref / sudo zypper dup

Still a Linux noob, but I have never loved an operating system more than I have openSUSE. :)

openSUSE Tumbleweed made me a full Linux convert. I have “messed up” quite a few times, since I’m still very much a Linux noob, but openSUSE gave me that real confidence in my setup that I now boot into Windows only for a program or game that won’t work with what I am needing at the moment, which is almost 10% of the time. Modding games is a hobby, and that’s still not as easy as it is in Windows. Come on Nexus Mods, you can do it! :'-)

Same for the Black and White games!

Clippy has been resurrected!

Can someone recommend me some good local LLMs I can get from HuggingFace? I’m new to all of this stuff, but running it locally with “Clippy” seems like a fun thing to do when I’m bored and don’t have anything to do. (I usually don’t have a lot of time, but damn it, I want to at least try this stuff once!)

Thank you!

I see that it has a container image for use. TrueNAS Scale has given me some issues before, but since it is being recommended, I will give it a go!
