Makes sense; one of the big things about it that interests me is the dockerfile generation. Although, I should probably get a better understanding of dockerfiles themselves before jumping into that; I have a habit of forgetting the order of carts and horses

I wanna get into Nix but I keep bouncing off the documentation every time I try to study it

Felt

My partner and I stopped into a liquor store down the street, and he asked for a specific drink he likes. They said “we don’t carry that, do you live nearby?” We told em we were just up the hill and the mfer ordered them on the spot so they could stock it for us

As an american, the amount of people who refuse to accept that American Propaganda exists is staggering. I had an immediate reaction to seeing “China is good though” and I have no way of knowing if it’s justified because I’ve been my told my entire life that China is an evil shithole by American propaganda.

To take it a step further and say “America doesn’t have your best interest at heart” is deeply unsettling to the vast majority of Americans who blindly hand away their freedoms in the name of Freedom. Wait until people find out that our country is just like all the ones we’re taught to hate

GPU doesn’t work after being reconfigured

On GNOME extensions crash

“I made modifications to my system and broke it”

Syncing files between devices is always a struggle

Syncthing?

Never know what will break when updating

Read your updates before you do them?

Bluetooth and scaling are not issues I’ve ever run in to, but I can’t say they’re not common.

Basically, this whole post reads as “I messed with things that I didn’t properly understand and I’m blaming my computer for doing what I told it instead of what I wanted”

You can actually, and I would suggest, grab a fresh Fedora install that comes with either of those DEs. If you don’t wanna do that, I would suggest at least making a new user so that the gnome stuff isn’t crowding your new life

Windows only software

I’m sure by now you know about the troves of compatibility layers that exist in order to make this possible; depending on the software.

Get a minimize and maximize button

This is more of a DE issue than Linux issue, I’m assuming you went with the default Gnome but you might like KDE or Cinnamon for a more windows like experience. I personally loved both of those DEs until I made the mistake of getting comfortable with a window manager

Ya know, I might throw that on to my browser but I doubt I’d actually use it much. I only really use my browser for research; notes, music, and most of my work is done in the terminal. Being able to swap tabs faster by not having to cycle could be useful, but other than that I find the mouse to be a pretty rapid way of navigating unfamiliar pages

Are positive LGBT communities echo chambers?

If you only ever interact with that one opinion, then yes

No! I didn’t even care about what an echo chamber is! I just wanted to pass judgement on people who use this phrase without accepting any new considerations for what it actually means.

I think you might be protecting your peace a lil too close to the sun

This is where you implied it was an attack. By saying that I was drawing an image of people when literally all I did was an explain what an echo chamber was. I never passed judgement on you, or said anything about the diversity of opinions I partake in. You decided all by yourself to be upset about a simple explanation of what an echo chamber was. If you’re not in one, don’t worry about it lol

Steve are you alright? You’re so defensive against someone who’s just explaining a concept you literally asked about

In my case it’s not a sense of pride. I can’t use anything other than Vim because I keep accidentally putting random incantations into my word documents.

“There once was a dduuuZQ:q!”

How did you take this as an attack? An echo chamber is the exaggerated idea of hearing only a single opinion, as curated to your own beliefs. It doesn’t matter what the belief is.

Obviously no one is 100% in an echo chamber, but it’s also obvious that everyone is guilty of confirmation bias; and tend to prefer seeing their own opinions online. I never said anything about my own feed or accused you of being in an echo chamber. I just explained what one was because you implied that it’s impossible to be in a liberal echo chamber

You’re in an echo chamber if you curate your home feed to only show one opinion and then never change it; it doesn’t matter what the opinion is

It can get even worse. My phone lets me do this to my icons which is ridiculous. I think this was opt-in but now that I’m going through my settings again I can’t actually figure out how to turn it off lol

Assuming you don’t need a windows only application for your workflow (admittedly this isn’t very common), it’s really just a matter of getting used to it. There’s plenty of easy to use distros out there, such as Linux “I’m not buying my grandma a new computer” Mint.
