My wife is in the same boat. But it's more like 2 weeks, 2-3 days to migrate and the rest to get used to the different OS. After that you're good forever though (at least until you see new shiny distro come out)

They didn't mention battery life once, and it doesn't even have a torch?

I heard about the web usb thing, it's also going to be a game changer for me (I haven't tried yet, hopefully it works)

Yeah opera used to be the one. I'm STILL pissed that they deleted all of my notes

You can try it is not that difficult

You won't like it though

Lots of anti-ai people in this thread it seems. I get it - personally I HATE the fake image generation! But I have to agree with you in terms of coding that using LLM's correctly can offer huge benefits.

Modern harnesses are getting more and more sophisticated and your milage varies depending on how well you use them (like any complex tool). At the end of the day it's still up to the developer to take the code and make sure it's correct - no different from before where we used to copy code from Stack Overflow or other examples and modify them for our own use.

One thing I have to add - I honestly don't understand why anyone would use Claude or chatgpt at their ridiculous prices when DeepSeek exists..

Arduino programming is basically C++ with helpers so yeah you learn a lot!!

[–] tomjuggler@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I would suggest a different approach. Think about what you want to achieve with programming. Look at the languages which can be used to do this task. Choose one and try some tutorials, I recommend freecodecamp it helped me a lot.

I can't really comment on zig and go but I think they are pretty serious languages tbh.

100% agree about JS but it's hard to avoid.

I switched to Catchy from Manjaro a few months ago, no regrets. Been using Linux for +10 years and it's the best distro so far.

I'm not a gamer but installed steam and lutris since it's so easy to do and it was seamless, works out the box.

But for me as a developer the real gain was their AMD support. I can confirm that my laptop is genuinely faster now. If you have have AMD processor, just look up CatchyOs enhancements.

It's like the fruit version of preparing a pufferfish!

Yes I'm answering the 2nd question if you look

 

Hopefully nobody tells them about the raspberry pi..

 

Battery on my Android Tablet died, so I upgraded it with 18650 replaceable batteries. Tutorial with pics

 

So this just happened - those of you who have a Xiaomi phone know when you install apps it has it's own "Virus Checker" screen which comes up before the app is approved for install. This is provided by Avast I just found out..

Anyway while installing an app from F-droid today I got an error message on this screen - which said "app from unknown source" and two buttons below - "Ignore" and "Install". So I clicked on "Install" since I wanted to install the app and then noticed that the install process seemed a bit different (I can't remember what happened exactly) but I checked the app on F-Droid and the version history wasn't available - which a notice says means the app was installed from Play Store or somewhere else. But I just installed it from F-Droid!

So I tried another few apps and it happened again for one of them. I clicked around and there it was, some sort of Xiaomi app store installing versions of the app instead of the one I told my phone to install.

I guess there is an innocent explanation for this - stopping people from installing malware and giving them a "correct" version of the app they wanted - but I have disabled it on my phone, I know what I am doing and if I want the cracked version it's because that's the version I meant to install ;)
