Thank you all who have supported my channel so far. I finally got 360 subscribers. Which to many is not a big feat. Considering all I’ve been through I’m lucky to be around to make videos at all. I got my first affiliate offer in my email today.
I’m sure thousands of these are sent out every day but this put a big smile on my face. I’m not going to accept their offer but I’m happy to have even been considered as all.
Come check me out if you haven’t already. I do mostly Linux, gaming and open source application show cases!
OpenTTD is one of my favorite Linux Mint applications. Not only is it absolutely free to play but it’s pretty straightforward to get into. Let’s take a look together if you haven’t checked it out before!
I'd really like the perspective from someone who is new to using Linux. What kind of "how too" videos would really help you out in a pinch? Don't worry if it's mundane, I'm open to any suggestions.
I’m not quite where my footing is as far as my content is concerned but I’m passionate about Linux. This gives me an excuse to showcase some of my favorite software.
Because I can attend/Linux Google Meet with Bluetooth Headphone over a 2.4Ghz WiFi, on Linux I can't. It cuts down internet speed by 95% or even compleltly
I've been using Linux approx 2 yrs for Web Development. I really like it. The OS is superb. I can't ever go back to Windows for development. After a lot of googling, searching, trying I came to the conclusion that both Wifi & Bluetooth use 2.4 Ghz. That's the problem
Windows is better for reliability because the same Bluetooth headphone works fine over the same 2.4 Ghz wifi on the same laptop with Windows dual boot.
I even tried multiple distros: Ubuntu 22.04, PoP Os, Fedora, OPen Suse TW
Laptop: Acer Extensa 15
Headphone: Realme Buds Wireless 3
I like to use OpenRGB to monitor operating temperature. The CPU fan reads the CPU temp, the window in front of my graphics card reads the GPU temp, and, for now, I have my keyboard reading the NVMe temp (just recently installed the NVMe). My mouse color is set by Piper/libratbag so I know what preset I'm using.
This week in KDE: #Plasma6 is not only gearing up for a big technological shift, but is also adding cool new features and improving the user experience
Look forward to sound themes! Snappier responses! Prettier widgets! More awesome things!
I've been using bash since the 90's and I'm still a n00b. I'm still not constructing scripts in my head before I write them down. It's still
$ some command $ some command | more commands $ some command | more commands | even more commands
At some point I was making progress and I got to where this was happening:
$ some command $ some command | more commands $ even more commands $(some command | more commands)
Whatever I do, I still start with a very general command and add pipes. I don't know what I want before I see it.
I have recently started to rewrite some of my old scripts to get to the point earlier. It works when I'm writing in other languages, but in shell languages it's hard to get rid of this nasty habit of starting with the most general command and accumulate pipes.
For those of us who grew up thinking that UNIX, in some (elusive) form, was the Holy Grail of operating systems, NextSTEP was where we wanted to live, work, and play, as soon as we knew about it.
In a small way, the internet was 'late' for me - most of these kinds of development weren't happening on the internet yet. This, in particular, was a Steve Jobs project, and was spoken of only in whispers and sometimes in a magazine interview. By the time I really knew anything about the technology, it was pretty much reliquary. This applied pretty much to all of the Unix world.
Like all the rest of it, Linux was a bit late getting to me as well, in that sense that I had just began to steel myself to the realization that I had missed the heyday of open architecture, multiuser operating systems, and would be saddled with some kind of M$ Windows for the rest of my life.
Of course, that's all highly subjective, and truth be told, I was just about as ready for Linux at that point as Linux was for me, and a million other screwball wingnuts like me -- our ship, as it were, had just landed, and was recruiting crew.
There are a few things from back then that were worth retaining from the museum depository. Some of those that have perhaps been easiest to keep in play and updated are window managers. Openlook is an oldie but a goodie, and modernized (OpenBox WM), it is more powerful than ever, and running with critical efficiency on the Raspberry Pi, where it makes it possible to use a Pi4x8GB like one might have used a workstation of yesteryear.
Now NextSTEP has been shown the love, and here it is. It should run on the Raspberry Pi as well, and given that the project has a Debian target, I'm willing to bet it will run just fine.
