Is it a known thing that they were dishonest about speaking to a lawyer with that situation?

I’ve been meaning to change instances and find a new home, if it’s known that they lied or mislead their users thats something I’d love to know more about

While it is good to have empathy and understanding for less technical folks, OP may be in a better position to know what is realistic for their family and level of support they can provide

I mean linux distros are in effect kind of like a bunch of different OSes all based on the linux kernel.

It definitely would have been more helpful for them to describe it as a distro though

This is cool as fuck, thanks for sharing! I neither code nor am learning mandarin, but I hope you get some more folks involved who can contribute too :)

It might require posting places other than the fediverse though, I’m not sure this is a wide enough net to find folks who can get involved

Anyone know if there are any good places online to share foss projects you’re hoping to build with more people?

Glad you got it working!

If you’re knowledgable about CSS you could use the Stylish extension to customize websites, but given frutiger aero’s aesthetic, you’d probably have to add a bunch of images for ui elements, so I wouldn’t neccisarily expect it to be easy

Short of customizing stuff yourself, I think thats a really niche styling to be looking for, for already niche platforms. If you wanna check for other people’s CSS creations you can go to the userstyles.world site, or the older and I think now defunct userstyles.org, and search for mastodon, or any other sites you wanna check out themes for. There may not be many, customizing your websites with CSS stylesheets isn’t exactly a huge hobby, so the most themes are available for sites everyone uses (YouTube, Wikipedia, google, etc.). Any themes there you find could be used with the stylish extension, though it may require some extra work from the older site

As someone else who enjoys the y2k retro aesthetic, I hope you find something you enjoy :)

I hope people remember when they downvote you that if we cant critisize the things we love, they can’t improve.

Sincerely, a long time linux user who thinks we shouldn’t downvote literally anyone even mildly critical of linux, often doing so in a constructive way

How dauper, he seems very friendly :)

Ah, neat that makes sense, thanks for explaining!

What does the install script set up for you? I’d be trying to install gnome and get audio working. Last time I tried I got networking set up even though the ncurses installer couldn’t handle setting it up for me, and I got gnome installed, but wasn’t able to get audio working when I gave up and installed fedora cause I wanted a working computer (I broke my old laptop and was learning on the replacement, so I kinda just wanted it up and running)

I dont know much about this situation, do you have source where I could read more about what valve has or hasnt contributed, and them only employing one person to work on proton?

What are cue sheets?

Holy SHIT Godot is moving fast, the page is like a mile long!?

I wish I was competent enough to install and maintain void 🥲

Maybe someday

I think for some its fun, and they get to see different ways things can be set up

That looks fantastic! Super cute design :)

On fedora I generally dont need the terminal unless something breaks. Which if I’m being honest with myself probably breaks because I tinkered with stuff via the terminal 🥲 (I’m bad at computer)

To add to all the other answers about what to use and whatnot: try a few distros and desktops out by putting them on a flash drive and booting from the flash drive (this is the same process for typical installations)

Distro, or who the linux based OS is built, updated, and distributed by, mostly matters long term, but something that will keep working and be stable (in the colloquial sense, not technical sense like for servers), and that has a friendly and welcoming community, are definitely things to look for. Mint and ubuntu both have stellar reputations in both of these regards, though many folks (including me) have issues with decisions being made by the ubuntu folks these days. Fedora is pretty stable but has less of a big community with support for new people, and manjaro has a lot of newer users and is built around serving newer linux users, but the project is sometimes run in an awkward way that can cause issues if you’re not choosing to manage your packages with intentionality (thats what I hear anyway). Debian is rock solid, and I dont know much about the community, but the versions of software available in the repos may be old unless you’re installing a flatpak

Keep in mind, not all distros will support every desktop, so you may find your chosen desktop isnt available on the distro you find most interesting. You can theoretically install whatever desktop on whatever distro, but as a new user I dont reccomend doing this.

Definitely try out a few different desktops. “Desktop environments” are bundles of software that make up the desktop graphical user interface, and will make a big difference in the look and feel, and general user experience that you have on linux. There are a bunch of options- the two biggest projects are GNOME and Kde plasma. Gnome has a reputation for being more mac-like out of the box and has very specific workflows and usage patterns, and kde, more windows like and flexible to what the user wants. But both are customizable. Kde has lots of built in settings and options, gnome offers very few, but supports user made extensions that change the desktops look and behavior. Give both a try and try out the customizations for each (play with kde settings, see if you can make it more what you want. Install some gnome extensions, see what the options look like). Cinnamon is another desktop thats very windows-like but has a great user experience. Xfce is a well run project but predominantly aimed at being lightweight so it runs well on older hardware, you’re less likely to be in its target demographic

My understanding is that rossman actually isnt involved anymore, but I haven’t followed things very closely. Someone brought up him no longer being involved last time folks were discussing issues with futo here on lemmy.

I switched back to heliboard because of the issues 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think I have the same issue on fedora using my tv’s speakers via HDMI. I pause a video foe 10 seconds and when I resume the audio takes a moment to cut back in with a slight pop. Its kinda irritating 😅

How did you remove the suspend node?
