My Roborock is genuinely an important cleaning tool for keeping my messy house with three kids clean.

Don’t be surprised when one or both of them starts doing some shady shit to sabotage things if Valve starts eating a larger market share.

Their newly announced Steam Machine also can do the same thing in your living room, but provide a console-like setup.

I prefer Wayland over X11, but Cinnamon doesn’t support it yet as stable

Pretty sure us Mint enjoyers don’t give AF because our distro is for people who just want things to work.

The hell are you on about?

Same. I always try it out and run into some critical bug causing me to abandon it.

My Linux Mint install with Cinnamon “just works”, so I’ve been sticking with that and hoping Wayland support goes stable soon, because I hate X Server.

Sometimes you’ve got to adapt to change.

It took me a while, but I moved off apt-get to just apt.

Habits die hard.

Most distros don’t really have yum anymore. DNF is actually running the command in a yum mode, so you’re really using dnf.

It’s greed. Not laziness.

Things like this are why I use AMD.

If you add --delete-before, it absolutely can delete stuff.

I know Plex is a business that has to make money, but if I hadn’t bought a lifetime pass for $50 a decade ago, I’d have dropped them at this point.

That sounds like Arch.

I don’t have time to futz with things, so I don’t bother anymore. I rely on my PC for work, so I run Debian/Mint for everything, because it almost never breaks.

I’ve done Arch installs from scratch and with the install script, but I always come back to Debian.

To be fair, the install guide does say you should do it all manually at least once so you understand what’s going on. However, it’s not strictly necessary.

Yes. Arch has an installer you can run by running “archinstall” from the live boot. Works well, too.

Debian is love. Debian is life.

I was in a similar boat. I’ve been using a Ryzen 5000-based mini PC for about two years now. It’s running:

Debian for stability

Flex Launcher for the 10ft TV UI

Flex Launcher has shortcuts for Plex HTPC, Netflix in a full screen Chrome page, etc.

An AirMouse Remote with a keyboard on the back and basic controls up front. It has 5 programmable IR buttons that I have bound to TV Power, TV Input, TV Select, and Sound Bar Vol-/+

My kids also use it for Steam and Retro gaming, so I have it launch ES-DE and Steam Big Picture Mode from Flex Launcher.

Other than the occasional tweaking, it has needed very little and been rock solid for about 2 years now. I have a cheap Android TV set top box still attached for when Grandma goes to use the TV. I can switch inputs and hand them the Google TV remote, but my wife, my kids, and I use the HTPC almost exclusively.

I mean…sounds fine. Why is it “controversial”?

Was sudo broken in some way that makes rewriting it in rust appealing? Genuinely curious.
