I had to zoom in for that one haha

One of us, one of us! Hahaha. I think at the core of it we care about other people and don’t want to see them be stuck in a privacy nightmare with no way to escape… and they paid for that experience. But yes, I also support people doing what they like, I sincerely mean that.

Statistically insignificant is one way to put it, but I would argue it is somewhat significant. Just perhaps not to the extent we’d like to see. What I’ll be watching for is the major uptick in viruses, malware and ransomware infecting that one half of users that will stay on win10 without a care in the world.

XBrowserSync works alright for me, can be self hosted but I don’t.

Yes we can make your teeth into eyeballs but you can only eat jello, and only once.

Interesting take, it’s also not what I do.

I am also on this sinking titanic. I’ll probably have to dual boot win10/Linux just for Nvidia related work and maybe gaming too. Not really looking forward to all that, but it’s fast approaching like they say.

Edited: AI to related

I had a geeetech i3 pro b so the bar is realllllly low for me haha! The nozzle calibrated itself into the bed so hard I think it bent the goddamn rails.

Thanks for this insight! Thanks to everyone that replied really. I’m good with building, just hate endless tweaking and tuning. Will research Voron.

What did you end up buying? I’m leaning towards Prusa again, was looking at Creality but I’m not wanting to tinker around much with that stuff anymore.

I’m not sure that would’ve influenced my situation with a dual core i5-6300U and 4gb ram, it’s a pretty sluggish thing from the get go. But good to know about distrobox maybe that can help me in the future. Now rocking Debian and it’s great.

From what I gather, if you like tinkering and compiling and installing random weird apps then immutable can be a serious pain in the ass like I discovered.

That’s really cool to hear! I had a bad Fedora experience on my surface pro 4, it was silverblue - an immutable distro. Not a great start, so I think I’ll be giving it another shot in it’s natural glory some time this year.

Wasn’t about that at all. Any DNF action took a lightyear… man just typing out those long commands (very hard to remember coming from apt) nevermind the much crazier wait time. Using toolbox for dev environments to compile things was a total nightmare. I’m sure there’s a scenario where it’s ideal, that was certainly not my situation.

I used an immutable fedora on my surface pro 4, I wanted to shoot myself in the face every time I had to install anything. I’m good on that for the rest of my natural life.

Amen brother. I’m really hoping a lot of these gotchas get ironed out in some way as more people start choosing Linux over windows. I would be really happy to see some smoother experiences in the coming year or years. Don’t get me wrong, things are a bajillion times better than ten years ago, but there’s still a ways to go yet.

Well I won’t name names but I know of a person that runs a 1080p screen at 1024x768 and they like it all stretched out like that. Biiiig pixels.

WinRAR, this is the year!

Imagine what it would feel like to lose a full 128 terabyte SD card. Just let that simmer in your thoughts for a moment.
