Did you read the whole thread? It was more than just saying “I’m skeptical” with well reasoned and sourced data correlating ERAS region preference signaling

Thought maybe Lemmy would be a return to og Reddit style discussion rather than brigading downvotes as per the last few years…but nah

? If you're hardware runs Fedora, it should run anything

what's the problem? Happy to help if I can

these days it's pretty easy to just pick one and go, but you can still run into issues, and for people new to linux it can be frustruating for sure. When I started using linux, I didn't even really know what a terminal was, so a lot of the stuff I would read on forums etc (it was a long time ago) I couldn't even put into practice. I once got insulted for asking a dumb question with both RTFM and PEBCAC but didn't even know I had been insulted. Just kept plugging away and eventually got it going. I think PCLinuxOS was the first distro I ran seriously as a "daily driver" and I think that stuck because the community on the forums was the friendliest

is it that big because of the snaps? It used to be (well after it breached to 700M CD limit) ~1.5G and AFAIK doesn't include a lot more default software?

Rebecca Black here, though now that Wayland is everywhere, should switch

wasn't sure if I was on linux or esperanto community for a minute there

Sabayon linux. Like Gentoo but without the compiling. shit was always broken. Though the guy who made it had a good sense of humor and was very enthusiastic

Sidux/aptosid: great distro, absolutely worst community

The mixed blessing of GPLv2

I'm gonna rip the process out of memory and piss into your dead inodes! You fucked with the wrong sysadmin!

 

What's your philosophy on a commuter? Cheap beater? Superbike? Steel? Flat bar or drop? Fixie/SS or Geared? Panniers or backpack?
Obviously, a lot of this depends on situation: length of commute, weather, safety of bike parking, etc

For me, I used to have a longer (7 km) commute with a pretty steep climb (on the way home, topped out at 20% grade for a short stretch) so I got used to drop bar, Frankenbike drive train with road shifters, 1x up front, and MTB derailleur (which was much more frankenbike when I put it together, now you can get drivetrains that are designed for this). Then I moved, sold that bike and on my new commute got a Surly Straggler for what is now a 4km commute with only a little elevation change. It's honestly way too nice for its use case, but now I'm spoiled.
What I really wanted was a Cross Check with bar-end friction shifters, but one thing led to another

 

There seems to be at least some enthusiasm to keeping the community open, and I guess with the increase in number of lemmy.world members, it makes some sense.

That said, I don't really have the time to mod if it gets any busier, so looking for others who would like to step in

 

I started this early in the recent popularity of reddit alternatives, as I didn't see any other bikecommuting communities. I don't really want (or have time) to be a mod, and it seems a more active community has popped up on lemmy.ml/c/bikecommuting

I'll give it a couple of days, but if there's not strong sentiment to keep a separate community here on lemmy.world, I'll close it down

 

Got up, raining pretty hard. I know I won’t mind once I’m actually out on my way, but I just don’t feel like putting all the rainwear on

 

Had to work today (Saturday), so got up early and did 2hr VO2max session (8x4) before work. My work commute now isn't hard, just 2 miles and 150' elevation gain, but it was hard today!
