I like ext4 because it’s easy. If anything breaks, ANY live USB can fix it. I use fat32 for my removeable drives, because anything can read it. I don’t use journalling for anything manually, but I imagine it’s useful when my disk crashes because I let my laptop die

ah. I’ve been doing linux things, but maybe i’ll try out gridchat next time i’m on 9front

Are you on oftc?

Depends on the tech job. A lot of corporate IT support jobs care a lot more about troubleshooting windows because that’s what the employees use

It will never matter what your login shell, unless you have bash specific scripts in your login. chsh -s /bin/fish $(whoami) is fine.

That looks awesome! Having used fvwm, I’m a fan of the scrollable desktop

No. It’s a community to help you not use google

also great for old windows disk recover. Testdisk is awesome

Depends on what I’m doing. For most of my use cases, not really. For universal paperclips, I worry it’ll melt

My t430 is still going, but my x201 is in better shape.

Especially just getting into linux. Ext4 works well enough, when you learn enough to care about what it doesn’t do well try something then

Not really…That’s not a linux user metric it’s a steam user metric. Seems fine to include the steam hardware platform

That comment meant anything that needs root will prompt for it WITHOUT you running as root. Running GUI apps as root directly won’t work well (1, it isn’t a good idea. 2, your user likely owns the X session)

The sun unix keyboard also swaps ctrl and caps lock

For me, it’s building software from source on musl. Just one more variable to contend with

I’m using wayland right now, but still use X11 sometimes. I love the discussion and different viewpoints. They are different protocols, with different strengths and weaknesses. People talking about it js a vitrue in my opinion

looks like this will do it. no-fail and a systemd timeout

Runs KDE and xfce fine.

Yeah. I’d recommend using ssh keys and disabling password authentication whenever something is exposed to a public network

i’m not an expert, but my reading was that it was hidden in a binary used for testing EDIT: oh yeah, i see what you mean
