Earbuds for activity. They cancel out distractions and mostly I’m listening to podcasts.
Open-back headphones for gaming and music listening. High dynamic range and side to side balance is important.
Studio monitors for casual listening or movie watching. Best low end response and can move a lot of air.
Real talk, I want to try Guix but I have not successfully installed it on any hardware, including VMs. This includes with nonguix for proprietary drivers and stuff. I can never get past install, it always just craps out on some substitution thing. Am I just stupid?
Gaming on Linux is pretty good nowadays. I’ve only run into one or two games I couldn’t get working. The vast majority of games work with Proton right out of the box
Huh. Might be hardware and I got lucky. I do agree that hibernate on Linux is mostly terrible, though I have had plenty of issues with it in Windows too. I think hibernate mostly just sucks
Yes, this is my go to nowadays for all my family and friends. Atomic makes it harder for them to break it and everything just works out of the box.
I run Bazzite, which is Fedora Atomic, that hibernates just fine. In fact, so far it’s the only one that does. Arch and Mint both would never come back from sleep.
Check out Bazzite, it’s basically that. I’ve been using it on my desktop for gaming and development for a month or so now and it’s been great.
It’s not bad. I haven’t dug too much into it but it’s got the pokemon feel and I’ve enjoyed what I played of it.
Getting my Pinephone Pro up and running, and getting away from Google forever, finally. Also I’m gonna make the jump from Arch to either Gentoo and/or Guix, I think.
Pretty sure Hyprland will do this. I have seen it make some stupid small windows
Yeah Hyprland is great and very easy. Just make sure you have kitty installed or change the default config to use your preferred terminal and getting set up shouldn’t take long. The Hyprland docs also have tons of recommendations for other good software.
Linuxcommand.org is a great start. Writing shell scripts and using cli programs for things you actually need and will use will greatly accelerate learning. I stopped using a file manager entirely to force myself to learn how to get around, then switched to neovim from vscodium, taskwarrior instead of Obsidian Tasks, termdown for timers, etc. A tiling wm makes the transition easier imo because you can have many terminals open for visual multitasking. Like with anything, you’ll get better faster if you just do it a bunch and don’t be afraid to mess up and get your hands dirty.
Zsh is just bash with plugins and stuff, so regular bash scripts work. fish, as I understand, uses its own language.
That’s actually a pretty good reason. Currently I own my work environments but that won’t always be the case, I’m sure.
i3wm for me, no DE. I do like KDE when I run a DE though.
I use Arch with i3 on my main gaming/dev machine. Most of my other (older) machines are Manjaro or Debian though.
My car is old enough to have a tape deck. Also old enough that I can fix pretty much anything that goes wrong, and unless I crash it, I fully intend to own it until I die. New cars are for chumps.
