There is lots wrong with Canonical imho, but this isn't the place for it.

Debian here. IMO "btw" is reserved for a particular distribution and you know which one it is.

you know which one it is.

As of the latest dumpster fires over there, they're wanting to hide it nowadays!

Dumpster fires? Do you mean the untrusted repository of user-submitted build scripts getting malicious user-submitted content? :P

Keep your official packages and AUR separate, if nothing else at least don't pull from both sources with the same command

I don't know how Arch works as a Minter here. That's good that there's a separation line... Not sure if Mint's Software Mgr has that...

When I have even the smallest bit of time and headspace to dedicate to it, I will switch back to Debian as it was always my favourite but really can't deal with it at the moment.

Linux Mint Debian Edition is just great for that case. If I were not so much into fedora's rpm-ostree I would be using that, or MX Linux.

Dude, right? I've thought about switching to cachy or something, but every time I just can't bring myself to give up ostree.

I love me some atomic spins....

What do you mean?

I like Debian, it is boring in the best way.

I really did not like the process of upgrading from one stable version of Debian to the next. It went OK, but i remember being anxious the whole time, compared to Ubuntu's gui workflow, and failing that, the one-command cli version that i always have to look up

[–] ratel@mander.xyz 2 points 12 hours ago

I love a boring OS that just works for 90% of things and you just live with whatever the other 10% is - usually some driver quirks or peripheral funk.

I've never used the gui for upgrade but I also have a hard time remembering do-make-release.

You’re so cooked now that I got your IP

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Too late, I already know your username is kieron

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Well I just changed my IP to 10.0.2.59 so GOOD LUCK!

[–] swiftywizard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 47 minutes ago

No, that is mine!

It looks like you are running this to the AVR, wired or through wifi/BT?

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

So I have this old sony bravia that technically supports 120hz but only with a custom EDID, and somewhere along the line of making the EDID I screwed up the display name. But I have one HDMI going to the TV and one HDMI going to the AVR for audio (to minimize input latency). It looks even more absurd in display properties lol.
