Rikj000 , 23 days ago to linuxmemes in wayland was a mistake

Wayland might be the future,
but today we're still living in the present..

I was a fan, and tried Wayland,
but it took less then 24hrs before I switched back to X.

Just too many random bugs remain in Wayland rn..

E.g:

• Grayed out screen under HDR
• LookingGlass unable to boot in fullscreen
• Some program icons replaced with Wayland icon when running
• ...

Never give up,
each eye you poke out is one less they can use for data collection.

It's a slow process and they'll grow more eyes,
but the less they have on you,
the more private you'll be.

My favorite ones:

I mean same applies to the Chinese,
but wanting to look good in an oppressive system, does not mean you actually like to be oppressed by said system.

Rikj000 , 2 months ago to linuxmemes in It's so similarly pronounced to the SI prefix that it can also be 1000 Manjaros

I went with Manjaro due to the way they do their package releases.

Arch is bleeding edge,
a double edged sword if you ask me,
all the latest versions,
and all the bugs that come along with them.

I'm looking for stability in my daily driver though.

Manjaro keeps releases a few weeks back on their stable branch.
And tests the releases first on their unstable and testing branches.
Resulting in near bleeding edge with enhanced stability on the stable branch.

Rikj000 , 2 months ago to linuxmemes in It's so similarly pronounced to the SI prefix that it can also be 1000 Manjaros

For me the experience has been:

• Stable
• Easy to use
• Enjoyed all the Arch niceness in the meantime.

Which imo makes it a good distro,
idiots would not make a good distro..

Sure the people behind it made some doubtful decisions in the past, but that doesn't change the fact that using it has been a bliss.

Additionally, it's all open source,
so if they would ever turn anti-consumer,
it can be forked into another distro.

As I mentioned earlier, stop the distro hate.
I'm not throwing acquisitions against other distros, instead I let people enjoy whatever flavor of Linux they desire...

By now I helped a fair amount of Arch and other distro users through Lemmy / AUR / Issues, and I also learned a fair amount of Arch / Manjaro and other distro users.

Linux is not the enemy here,
not a single flavor..

Rikj000 , 2 months ago to linuxmemes in It's so similarly pronounced to the SI prefix that it can also be 1000 Manjaros

Why?

It has been my main distro for years now,
and I have only enjoyed the experience.

2 points you'll likely mention which do not make it a bad distro:

• The certificate of their website expired twice
• If you use AUR packages,
  sometimes you need to wait with an update since they hold back official repo packages for a few weeks to ensure stability, which AUR packages might depend on.

Stop the distro hate,
it divides the Linux community...
Instead we should unify against M$/iFruit,
and let people use whatever distro they like.

Rikj000 , 2 months ago to linuxmemes in Do you forget that you need to update your system?

Your comment is my reasoning why I use Manjaro :P

All the Arch niceness,
with fewer bugs / breakage
and easier to use.

Sure you might get an issue from outdated dependencies from AUR packages from time to time, but the chance / impact of those is usually rather small.

Rikj000 , 2 months ago to linuxmemes in Do you forget that you need to update your system?

Update your system frequently,
that minimizes the chance of things breaking in my experience.

Legacy software still requires maintenance.
Legacy dependencies still require to be used in new projects.
Dual booting multiple times a day is not feasible.

For those reasons none of my co-workers can fully switch to Linux.

Rikj000 , 2 months ago to Selfhosted in Tarallo - selfhostable FOSS Trello alternative

I write PHP on the daily and don't understand the hate it gets :/

At least I can work on Linux at home while my co-workers are stuck on Windows with their C#
