Contemplating leaf.

Yeah some of them are keen, some of them like an extra pair of hands to steady things, or a good chat. You’ll always learn something even just by watching them.

Anytime I need to seek something outside my skillset, I basically offer myself as “apprentice for the day” and you’d be surprised how many will take you up on it.

I get where you’re coming from, however I reckon he’s doing a huge public service in this regard, imagine someone just happens to click on one of his vids and learns how scummy corpos are. That’s why I believe he should continue with these callouts, but yeah I’d like to see more actual repair stuff in future.

Just watch the first 5-10min and once you think you’ve heard something before, find something else to watch 🤷

I fucking love Louis, knows his shit, isn’t afraid to call shitfuckery out for what it is.

I genuinely can’t recall a video of his I’ve watched that hasn’t been informative, entertaining or both.

My opinion if him continues to climb, however, as instructed, if he ever uses adobe premiere for a video and I find out about it, it’s an unsub from me.

I thought exactly the same thing, as previously though, I was willing to swallow the $8 (at the time) in order to use my tablet for coding (may as well be a laptop running android tbh).

That’s fucked up, it was $8AUD when I got it like a year ago. Fuckin corpos and their price hikes.

I was happy to swallow it to code on the go, but I only used it for a few weeks. Sometimes I lay in bed to code though so I can watch TV as well (never mind all the errors I make as a result).

I’ve got a Lenovo P11, goes pretty well on a charge, and VSCode is available on android, haven’t used it much as I almost always code at home now.

Yep, assuming this new service lasts that long. Could be a year or less.

Ladles and jellyspoons of the fediverse, I have reason to suspect Linux may be afoot.

I moved to the Proton suite last year, apart from some shitfuckery regarding decrypting/organizing and some teething issues with their Linux app, it’s been all smiles.

Take my angry upvote, you heathen.

I got lucky, I converted from the ol’ shitheap that reddit became at the time of the protests.

This was in the before-times when folks here were more excited about helping people see the FOSS light than they were complaining about people searching for the FOSS light (repeatedly).

I never needed to make a post of my own, there were a good few getting around and a LOT of helpful/insightful/educational comments with a derth of information and sources provided for further investigation.

Once again (as previously in this comment section), I vote megathread.

As someone who recently made the switch (without posting about it woohoo!), I’ve found more information across the clone posts than in any one thread, I second the megathread idea mentioned above.

I’ve made a few comments regarding distros/switching on many of the aforementioned posts and I would happily dig them up and repost them as a comment on a megathread, on the slim chance my experience helps smooth out the entry for others.

I’m dreaming of an ad-free vision technology

The discord thing is improving (slowly), also partly it now recognizes Linux games launched from steam, but not proton ones. I haven’t tried lutris or anything yet, but I haven’t booted into windows for weeks now.

I’ve also become more comfortable with Linux in general so that’s likely helped too.

My windows did this to me while I was dual booting with Mint, re-enabled secure boot when I went back to windows to check a wiki real quick.

This is what I did, I’ve been using windows since 98.

I am now on Linux Mint full time, it had it’s teething issues (also not my first distro) but all it took was some DDGing and persistence. I actively cringe when I’m forced to boot into windows for something now.

As I’ve said in previous comments, it’s absolutely worth the effort, spend some time on different distributions, every distro is a little different. On this note, absorb as many suggestions from the Lemmings as possible, regarding Linux and FOSS they really know their shit.

Basically, tread your own path, ask for help if you need it and do it at your own pace, in your own direction. Everyone’s needs are different, the distro list is as long as it is for a reason.

You really do just need to fuck around to find out (what you like).

I had the same idea while I was setting up my dual-boot.
