#Linux #noob findings #4925...
I recently discovered "pigz" (parallelised "gzip"), so now tarballs can be made (and unmade) a *lot* faster

I may even start looking at "cron" later (shock horror)

For fuck sake I arrive to orcish mines level 1 so far, unbelievable!

Now, YES I'm scared.

I'm also excited to have computers that work properly. My lenovo laptop was pissing me off with how slow it was being. People in the Linux Mint communities were complaining about Cinnamon crashing a lot, which was my experience. Also my apt kept getting all corrupt. So I decided to try and switch to linux mint xfce to see if it would run faster.

It was faster for sure, but I kept getting errors every time I would install things, and when I tried to look it up the only advice I could find was "what a mess, reinstall the whole os" so I did, but it was still giving those errors. So I said f Linux Mint completely and tried putting Debian on it, but the lack of internet drivers this thing has off the bat made that really hard. I didn't think it would care so much that I installed a dvd image off of a usb stick, but apparently that was a no-no and any of the fixes I looked up were not working for me.

I read in one forum that MX Linux works well, and the one other person who was getting my errors just settled with using that instead. So I had that downloading while I was trying out Debian, just in case. I got the KDE edition, because I just put it on my new desktop with Linux Mint instead of Cinnamon. The level of customization is amazing! Debating if I should put MX on the desktop too. So far it's not giving me any problems on the laptop! Internet drivers installed with no problems and no error messages when I install things! Hope it stays that way. #linux #noob

I've been gifted three beautiful, healthy tomato plants, Mastodon.

*What do I do now.*

I've been told they thrive in neglect.
How much neglect?
Should the pots be outside, against the facade?
Anything I should keep in mind?

Best,

Updating my profile a bit throughout the day. I need to do better at getting on here 🙃

Finished Resident Evil 2, starting Resident Evil 2 - all brought to me by our local library. <3

Also reminder to all who love games out there - get a library card! Even if you wont use it, it will look good and means there will be mroe funding for your library!

Even better, pick up a book, a game, cd, movie, or whatever they offer once a month and be part of the cool crowd. :D

I firmly believe that #Windows #users who only #browse the #web, watch #movies, use #word processing and #email, and do some basic #photo #editing are much better off with #Linux than with #Windows11. This is likely true for 85% of home Windows users.

You don't even have to make any major adjustments because the software looks almost identical on Windows and Linux:

1) For #browsing use #Firefox (or #LibreWolf).
2) For word processing use #LibreOffice.
3) For emails use #Thunderbird.
4) For movies use #VLC.
5) For photo editing use #Gimp (or #Krita).
6) There are now also better alternatives to many other Windows applications available on Linux...

So please explain to me why #XDA thinks Linux is only for Windows users who just surf the web? source: xda-developers.com/linux-becom…

Which Linux distribution do you recommend for #beginners switching from Windows?

Linux is quietly becoming the better choice for Windows users who just browse the web

Sjongejonge, ik ben heel excited voor Ubuntu 26 maar vind het wel heel ondoorzichtig wanneer ik de release aangeboden krijg als LTS-genieter.
