Welcome to Linux; where your hardware and my hardware may act completely different. :)

I haven't tried that one but besides the package page there is the options pages that gives you the ability to define config info.

I had no experience in nixOS, just went to the package website, it tells you exactly what to add to each section of the config.

Working can be purpose, as can hobbies. we all need purpose

BCsven , 3 months ago to Memes in There is zero need for millions of office drones to be on the road daily.

In theory if you have a circle of friends already, then social should be better with WFH because when it is quitting time you are immediately done and have more evening for social gatherings. if you recently moved cities before WFH, not having colleages might cut down chances of finding new friend groups

Yep, to me there are two groups that linux works well for (at home)

1. tinkerer type who likes new tech.
2. completely computer/ tech illiterate type ( like my wife or mom)

In the 2 category if they just need a computer for netflix, browsing, email and zoom calls you set them up with a stable diatro and it works the same every day with no windows surprises.

I had great luck with OpenSUSE Leap on two machines. Another machine was really old and OpenSUSE was a bit slow on it so tried debian, it struggled with all debian based distros I tried. But NixOS has been amazing on it with 0 issues. It really is a dice roll.

Distro dependent, and hardware dependent. Some have a great experience OOTB

Others replied about WINE translation layer, but once binary is loaded in memory the kernel juat runs the code it does not care that it is linux or windows code, because to the systembit is chip instructions. It is why LinuxOS was fully able to run DOS way back when

BCsven , 4 months ago to linuxmemes in The installation process of different Linux distributions

I heard the hype, did an install of arch ( before the installer script ) followed the wiki and was done and running gnome desktop in a very short amount of time.
However, the tweaking afterward is where I prefer a currated distro.
i.e. My OpenSUSE does snapshot cleanups on its own based on time or number, btrfs scrub and other jobs happen without me having to touch a command line. Sometimes I just want to get work done and not worry about the OS.

Yeah, I don't diagree on Value, I just would not trust them on mission critical. If you listen to back catalog of 2.5admins they explain in detail about what you could encounter. On the flip side drives are supposed to last 10 years, I have a 13 year old one still chugging away.

BCsven , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Is there any HDD over 8TB using 5400RPM ?

oof, I have to upgrade one of my drives then, since those options are showing in the drive config. But yeah, my newer drive has this option greyed out. Only performance vs power saving is and adjustable slider on the new ones. Interesting thing is google says that article was from September 2023, so it is quite out of date then.

BCsven , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Is there any HDD over 8TB using 5400RPM ?

LOL. I mean depends on the baseline number, so yeah, you would be correct. But the concern would be as you mentioned the Purple drives don't care (as much) about data loss. Fine for video if you lose a pixel, but bad for mission critical data.
