Stephen Greenham@system76 Re-compiling the kernel!
Jake McGowan :verified:@system76 giving windows users a hard stare before giving them a lecture on the positives of the open web
Random Tux User@system76
Installing and tinkering with software. With stuff like nix and distrobox, it's pretty amazing to have containerized apps that can be cleanly removed.
I recall with windows I was always worried that doing so will add crust to system in random that would be hard to clean.

eagerpebble@Winston161984 I think you skipped the part where you start swearing a lot because you have to figure out how salvage a bunch of data you hadn't backed up yet.
@eagerpebble after doing that once I learned my lesson - data drives are backed up before touching them. And os\docker containers are on a separate drive from data storage so any issues won't impact data. (Not ripping all those DVDs again thank you very much)
Hiyato@system76 updating my system and messing with beta software
Nicolai Brodersen Hansen@system76 spending 1 hour figuring out why some software was broken, just to figure out it was Flatpak that had an outdated version :p
@system76 cronjobs
Ryan@system76 The ol' apt update/apt upgrade combo
Phil M
Samuel@system76 making a mess out of my system and finding solutions to fix my niche issues. 🫠 I sound sarcastic but I do love finding my own solutions.
Cameron DeCoster@system76 Installing a new distro and having things just work. I love not worrying about drivers.
emin@system76 spend hours to activate the finger print reader on my Oryx Pro and then realize that I don't actually need it. Dealing with problems just to see if I can solve them.
Henrique Custódio
paulhey@system76 Running an ansible playbook to deploy the saltstack minion to all my systems.
ben329@system76 jeux video et partir a la découverte des fonction de pop!os que je ne connais pas encore . pour les partager
Sean@system76 watching htop for a few extra seconds even after finding what I was looking for 😅
Jacket@system76 Revers engineering executables with gbd, radar2 and angr. Bonus: opening web sites with w3m in front of my family and make them think it's how you access the web on Linux.
@system76 trying to not use the mouse
codeismycanvas@system76 Making fractal art!
tth@system76 I make strange pictures, https://tube.interhacker.space/c/tth_channel/videos and ugly code, https://git.tetalab.org/tTh
qwerty@system76 Improving my emacs skills.

ssh-ing from one linux system (terminal) to another one (my pi nas). Makes me feel skilled 😂

Katzenmann / Catperson@system76 Today I patched dwl to work how I like. It was pretty fun
@system76 openscad. my current efforts are not worth making real, but still fun.

@system76 I love shell scripting. Writing KornShell and Bash scripts is one of the aspects of my current job which I enjoy most. At home, I also like to automate tasks like backing up and managing files on my media server and downloading daily images to keep the desktops on my Pangolin and Meerkat looking fresh.
themilkmanAnything terminal related :D
Hojjat 
@system76 `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` to try the latest updates to COSMIC DE. I've been busy with work, so checking COSMIC is kinda the only thing I do in Linux.
Slickmcrunfast@system76 Reading what changed in each system package update because we can.
Bill P@system76 has to be distro hopping.
esaporski@system76 buying a Pangolin so I can have a notebook that runs Linux at all times with me 🐧
hoek 💎@system76 cme smb '10.10.10.100' -u 'admin' -p 'Password123' --lsa
I added this alias to my ~/.bashrc file:
alias update='sudo apt update && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt list --upgradable && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y && flatpak update -y && sudo pop-upgrade recovery upgrade from-release'
116 alias upgrade-recovery='pop-upgrade recovery upgrade from-release'
I know it's overkill but I watch it update everything but the firmware knowing how long it would take if I were on doing it on windows :-)
Eduardo Farinati@system76 configuring and tinkering with my own computer so that it works exactly as i want it. Frankly it’s the main reason I can’t use windows, too many paper cuts.
Daniel Bartholomew@system76 Assembling a computer from the parts of several old computers and then installing 6 different distros to find the one that works best on the hardware.
