There’s apt-cache search, but I just prefer doing it with the package manager tbh :p

The only time I use the software center is if im looking for software to do a job without already knowing the name of the program that would

Came here to say kate! I tried a bunch of them before but kate is nice :3. And then I have nano for the terminal

So instead of writing :) I write (:

Ah, I developed a similar habit for certain emoticons within messaging apps for example for something like :3 I’d replace the number 3 with the Cyrillic letter З which tends to look the same in most fonts, or otherwise switch the characters around as you do to not trigger the automatic emoji replacement haha

An emoticon in the same series as ones like OwO or UwU or °w° etc. I suppose they’re pretty much localized to the furry fandom. =w= in this case is used to express no strong emotion in particular… mostly like mild tiredness or slight annoyance

One of the reasons I uninstalled the game was how massive the file size had gotten =w= so it’s nice to see them at least trying to do something about it

A side hop if anything :3 I wouldn’t count secondary devices as distro hopping, especially something like the steamdeck, but I suppose someone might

Speaking of steamdecks tho, I’ve thought about picking one up. I just wish I travelled more to actually be able to justify the price lol. It’s a cool piece of kit

I started on pop!_os and now 6 years later im on… pop!_os

Yeah, I didn’t really do any distro hopping :p. Though I’ve tried a bunch of distros in VMs

I’ve had a whole set of weird issues with controllers, not long ago I had 2 games “break” my controller configs in 2 different ways =w=

Never had anything that took long to fix thankfully, but I can definitely relate on some level lol

If I ever meet them in the wild I’ll suggest they try nixOS x3

Im very aware =w= I just got tired of putting on with it, especially with the way they were treating me like on call tech support expecting me to forego my plans or use my free time to assist with whatever, whenever

At some point even if you know why someone acts they way they do, you just have to throw in the towel and look out for your own health

They were on mint lol. They just wanted to do a bunch of random specific stuff like transferring their entire setup from one drive to another, and then transfer the windows to a drive their linux was on, or installing windows apps that require pretty specific setups (which usually had install scripts made for them, but even reading the guide to how to run those was something they were struggling to do) etc.

I mean, I did mention a lot of alternative solutions and all that, but they weren’t always accepted

That person was in fact an LLM user. And I do believe it was specifically chatGPT =w=

I actually blocked someone over something like this =w=

An ex friend that kept bothering me for linux help, and would refuse to look at or read any source. Literally got so annoyed of them asking something, me telling them what to do, telling them the tools that can do it, and even linking sources that explain the tools, and they still message me with some rudimentary thing that’s literally in the first paragraph of the step by step guide breaking down each argument etc.

Some people just don’t want to try or be competent, they just want to shout “I don’t know computers” and make you read out the same steps you just sent them

I suppose they could’ve included the ads in the firmware that comes with the monitors and then display them as an overlay in the similar vein as monitor settings or any of the gaming enhancement overlays certain monitors offer. Though then they couldn’t change out the ads without also including internet connectivity within the monitors… and you’d need to use the buttons on the back of the monitor to navigate to/out of the ads

So including them in an auto-installing app is probably the more convenient option. Either way, we shouldn’t give those cunts any ideas ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

As someone who switched from console to PC, the experience is night and day =w=

Every time I think about replaying a game I have on console I end up thinking “ehhh, but I don’t want to deal with not having all the features I want, and booting up the console/noise” etc. If I want to replay something waiting for a steam sale and buying it again unironically feels more worth it, than playing the copy I own and dealing with all the limitations
