I agree, one friend installed Debian because he saw that everyone recommended it, but he couldn’t understand how to make VirtualBox work, even less when I explained the reason to him. He ended up returning to Windows because of more issues and he didn’t like troubleshooting as much as I do lol
I’d say Linux Mint is pretty good too, Debian alone may be harder for new people who wants a system that just works out of the box.
I think we don’t really appreciate time until we know it ends. Unfortunately, we outlive some animals, but we get to enjoy time with them and doing everything possible to make their life better.
I lost my dog last year, it was rough. My family wasn’t there, I had to go by myself and the vet couldn’t do more to save her, but I was there, she wasn’t alone, she never was. I always watched her, played with her, even danced with her because she was very tall. I remember the first time I saw that she couldn’t peek at the window anymore, she was getting old and fragile and she couldn’t get up, I realized that I could only give her all the love I could, but I distanced myself some days from her because I didn’t wanna suffer her loss, I was afraid of what was going to come in the next months.
After some time, I realized I was being very selfish because I would remember all the love I had for her, but she would remember how in her last months I abandoned her, and I couldn’t let that happen. My love for her, my time with her; our time together was what make some parts of my life great! She made me feel better a lot of times and I always reciprocated.
I think one of the points of life, at least mine, is to make other lives better, that includes to help all the animals I can, even if I’ll have to suffer when they’re gone, because they will be happy all the time they lived.
I guess prices may have changed since the last time I checked, but I think some Raspberries still cost more than $60USD, plus the rest of the hardware.
I’ll check again when there’s money to afford it lol, thx for the suggestion btw
Oh, of course! I was referring only to Google and Amazon because I’d need to invest a lot more if I want an independent and open smart home, which is unnecessary and expensive for me right now.
Alexa and Google Assistant are the default option in México, shipping alternatives is both expensive and hard :)
I’d only like smart windows and lights, since I like low yellow light at night and to open the windows in the morning and to close them later. But I don’t like the idea of Amazon or Google having my house (and conversations, internet traffic, etc.) even more at their disposal, that’s why I avoid to invest on IoT devices right now.
Also, there’s the getting locked out of your own house: https://medium.com/@bjax_/a-tale-of-unwanted-disruption-my-week-without-amazon-df1074e3818b
I use some GNOME apps and they work fine. KDE has good support for GTK theming ;)
Does anybody know if there will be more providers or the option to add your own for the Weather widget/app?
I used to “virtual distro hop” because I tried a lot of distros in VMs before dualbooting. I installed Tumbleweed and haven’t changed ever since.
I don’t regret keeping my distro, I’ve been curious, of course, but I think i already have it all:
I sometimes try distros in VMs, but with that and Distrobox I think I already have everything I could need to learn and try them in case I need to work with them in the future :)
I wish I could go to some libraries, in my city they’re almost all in the city’s center. Good for you, though! :D
Bruh, I only use my printer/scanner to scan documents and I prefer to go to a store to print things. I get charged $0.03USD (I’m not from the US though) for every printed page, which is WAY cheaper than buying an ink cartridge from HP.

OP, please edit your post and add the link :)
Thank you! I’ll check if I can get some (or similar ones) where I live :)
Which plants are those? I want to do the same, but haven’t got any plants that can grow in the ones I have 🤕
I only enter to reddit to check information I can’t find in other places or because of communities there. I mostly enter for KDE reports and Stellaris lol
I have a Twitter account because my friend are there and they’ve abandoned Facebook almost completely, but I enter one in a month or so. I’ve been using Mastodon daily because I found a lot of people that also have my interests and hobbies, even in my language.
I only enter to Discord for casual gaming with friends, like one or two times a month.
And I’ve been trying to use PeerTube more, but a lot of content creators I like are still on YouTube, and PeerTube doesn’t have an official app yet. I’m currently using Piped and NewPipe for watching videos (I use the YT app only when I want to support some creators).
You’re right, I should specify that it’s mostly for niche hardware. But even though there are developers trying, sometimes those devices are barely usable or have bugs and/or vulnerabilities.
Since most people don’t use Linux, drivers and software aren’t usually developed for it. Although, a reasonable company would develop just in case or help you get a solution, it’s unusual. Most computers are supported, but there is very specific hardware that may not have support or you’ll find bugs.
I’d recommend you to search (and test with an USB in Live mode) about your hardware and ask in communities about this specific topics. There are music communities, movies, math, streaming, etc.
And no, I don’t think you’ll find anticheat support because most Linux users don’t want closed shady software modifying their kernel (but there are solutions being worked on).
It’s kind of weird, but it can be way more specific in Spanish. I mostly use English for programming or tech related questions; Spanish for research and when its response in English isn’t relevant or it’s less informative than I expected.
I have to use Chocolatey, Winget, Windows Store and invididual updating to use the tools I need in Windows, It’s ridiculous. I only use Flatpak and Zypper in my Linux partition.
I constantly ran --allow-vendor-change in openSUSE Tumbleweed. I had installed extra codecs with the OPI commando and always had problems with media files, mostly in Firefox. Also, I installed Kvantum and bugged some themes, disabled Akonadi and KDE was acting weird, etc.
Finally, I decided to delete the openSUSE partition, allocate more space (reducing Windows partition) and then reinstalling. I’m good now :)
I’d say updated documentation, there are some articles in their wiki/documentation that don’t consider the default configuration for openSUSE, but an old one I think.
