There are many music players, none of them is extremely good. I like Sayonara.

I remember using mint at some point. That was indeed a long time ago. Didn’t know about the problems.

Not really sure why you want to switch from mint. Mint is a nice distribution to test out Linux because it comes with many things readily installed and with decent defaults. Since you’re worried about compatibility with several peripherals I’d stick with that.

If you want to switch to something else to learn something new, then pretty much any other distribution is fine. Given enough customisation every distribution is just the same as any other. The only real difference is the repository updates schedule.

Yes, the keyring is a pain, also because I like to manually check all the keys. But then what often happens is that lots of configuration options have changed and you have to go through bunch of software to find out which exact package is now misconfigured and makes your system not work as it should.

Would not advise Debian to a new user. Old packages and difficulties installing non free software may frustrate people.

I did use Debian as my daily driver and I have it in a few servers, it is a very good system. But to the common user stability is not the priority which should prevail over everything else.

I did have troubles passing the Anubis check from time to time. It does not offer an alternative way to prove you’re not a bot and locks you out of the website completely.

The main reason I use git is it allows me to make mistakes without hard consequences. Any fuckup is just one reset away from being fixed. I like to: I have to fix this thing. While attempting to fix it I discover there is another thing that needs fixing on which everything revolves. I fix the second thing and commit. I’m now free to fuck around the code all I want and I’m sure I won’t lose that fix.

For this I really like to use --fixup when I find out the change was not completely right or does not fit well with some other changes I need to do. I really like git absorb which automates this a bit.

Ahaha, yes video call Is always a pain in the butt for some reason. I now run fedora (but still only do major upgrades on a Saturday morning).

I don’t know, at work we use Microsoft teams, often I get called into meet, zoom and others. The best working one to me is jitsy, that’s not to say it works flawlessly.

I don’t know, sometimes they work on Firefox, sometimes they work on Chrome. Sometimes they do not work and I have to use the phone. Sometimes headphones microphone does not work. Sometimes headphones microphone works but audio goes through speaker and not headphones.

I don’t know, I gave up attempting to fix all these things. Most of the times it’s more than one person in the call and we end up just joining together at the computer that works first. To be fair, my colleagues using windows are not free from these problems.

I’d love if Anubis let me through, can’t access the page.

I see, then it’s mainly AMD taking the risk. If stock prices go down OpenAI won’t be able to pay them back and they will have spent the money to produce the chips. This seems like a big bet for AMD, 74 billions is not a small sum.

Is overclocking still a thing?

Little branch, as our master says: We all have our feature to accomplish. Once our feature is complete, our faith will be up to the maintainer. If you were a well behaved branch, you will be allowed to merge with the master. If you weren’t so, you’ll be deleted and burn In the flames of reflog.

Very good explanation.

Why do you use that letter rather than th?

One time I did not update an arch system for something like 6 months… You can’t immagine the troubles I needed to go through to get it into a working state.

I used arch extensively. I still have it in a laptop I switch on from time to time. I stopped running it mostly because it is rolling release. I didn’t get many problems, but sometimes you do and sometimes you have to spend an hour figuring out what the problem is and how to fix it. I don’t want to wake up in the morning with an important video call set up and be unable to participate because the pipe wire config file has been corrupted during update.

Other than that, arch is a good system. But I’d rather keep it on hardware I know I can be without for a day or two if the case comes up.

Yes, I prefer them to wait for releases. Often those releases don’t really have such changes that are fundamental to my workflow but at times do have the potential to disrupt it. On my workstation I always wait a while before updating anyway, as I did experience problems upgrading from time to time.
