I can confirm the dev is great. I had two feature requests and they did a great job communicating and then implementing those requests.

I recently put Debian KDE on a gifted Windows 11 Lenovo tablet that’s quite underpowered. It’s pretty nice. MX is tempting, though.

Lemmy also pushed me into trying Linux about 2 years ago and I also ended up on Aurora. Aurora has a pretty small user base, but it’s nice.

Fedora makes the most sense to me. But I can see how a cautious bunch might go for the perceived safety of Ubuntu.

Bazzite is likely everything you’re hoping SteamOS will be. So don’t wait for SteamOS, just go for it.

I’m thinking about finding an alternative to ntfy. The maintainers are increasingly vibe coding it.

There’s also an image for Copyparty if you’re already hosting stuff as containers. It’s super handy.

This is very different from my experience, but I’ve purposely lagged behind in adoption and I often do things the slow way because I like programming and I don’t want to get too lazy and dependent.

I just recently started using Claude Code CLI. With how I use it: asking it specific questions and often telling it exactly what files and lines to analyze, it feels more like taking to an extremely knowledgeable programmer who has very narrow context and often makes short-sighted decisions.

I find it super helpful in troubleshooting. But it also feels like a trap, because I can feel it gaining my trust and I know better than to trust it.

Debian is so nice as a server OS. It’s also a great alternative for WSL if you’re forced to use a Windows computer.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive for it. It just means we just have to do our best and understand the constraints of the real world.

No, what I’m looking for is an example of a project in Voiden that is mature. As-in, a project that a team has been collaborating on for a while.

So how does a team structure their project in Voiden efficiently.

I installed it yesterday, and the biggest issue I’m having is envisioning what a mature project would look like in it. I have not gone looking for examples like that, but if you know of any, i’d love to see some.

I would use Debian for servers, except that the version of Podman (at least on Debian 12) was old enough that it couldn’t do quadlets. So I went with Fedora.

I was a Windows fanboy for close to 30 years, until I switched to a Linux fanboy and never looked back.

I pushed my team to use trunk based development. We did cherry-picks from trunk to release branches for a couple years with no issues. Since then, I’ve written a GitHub action that automates the cherry-picks based on tickets in the commit messages.

But even before the automation, it drastically improved our dev processes.

We weren’t on Git Flow exactly, but it was a bastardized version of it.

Having used TBD successfully for like 5-6 years now. I can’t imagine using Git Flow.

I played through that game on my Steam Deck a couple years ago. Right stick camera made it feel like a whole new game.

The launcher works great. One really nice touch: the login button on the launcher opens your web browser so you can use a password manager.

My initial impressions in Linux are that it runs great and is fun to play.

It was 12 days and the first time I’ve ever finished it.

I came in here expecting to see a bunch of Wayland hating. Happy to be wrong.
