I was recently looking for something like this and couldn’t find what i was looking for, so thanks!

Well it sounds delicious, and definitely not guilty of piracy

I am not familiar with that, I’m guessing potato supreme is a username or something?

Not everyday i agree with ISPs but here we are. Guilty of and accused of are two very different things. Innocent until proven guilty.

I tried umbrel and wasnt super impressed. It seemed like it would function alright for the small amount of things i was trying to do but broke shortly after installing. I set up pihole and i think jellyfin since i was just testing it out on an older laptop.

I’ve heard decent things about CasaOS but have not used it myself.

Shocked I tell you. I am shocked.

I have used discover and other similar apps like the Pop shop but man are they just not quite there yet imo.

I installed Pop!OS on my media pc recently and that gave me more problems than discover on my main pc running Fedora.

Both were good for finding apps but installing was kind of a pain. Usually it would crash, or not install at all, sometimes canceling would hang forever, etc.

Though this could be due to my internet being shit where i live atm so ymmv.

It has gotten easier the more I’ve used it amd I’m very stubborn so I’ll be here a while lol.

Unfortunately the only person i know that also uses Linux uses Gentoo so he’ll have to compile my question for a few days before he can answer it.

I enjoyed this video, im already subbed to him but i loved his take on Linux cause im kinda in the same boat. I wanna be here, but man I do wish it was a little easier sometimes.

Brother printers are your best bet. And maybe try sudo.

What are you doing step-LAN?

Great question that I dont have an answer for. Maybe one of the foundations that supports Linux development? This is just my hope though. No idea what it would really take to maintain Firefox at this point. Maybe if it was scaled down or something it’d be ok in the hands of just the open source community as a whole but I’m not well versed in programming or development so i dont know.

I gotta try and be optimistic about this kinda stuff because i forsee a future where Google just ruins more and more of the internet and i hate the thought of that.

While I do want competition in the web space, its a good thing that Google could get told to stop doing stuff like this.

I dont want Mozilla to die of course but companies need to be held responsible for all the shit they pull. I’d imagine if Mozilla wasnt able to maintain firefox anymore it would fall to the open source community like they said in the article and I’d probably still use it.

No one company should own the internet.

I work at a small company where I wear a lot of hats.

I audit chats, supervise a team of agents, answer billing and sales tickets as well as the phone for sales.

When theres downtime i also work on spreadsheets which we use to track agent performance and make tools to help us work. Thats probably the msot fun part. Its a good job.

Pay is way under what we should be getting but i like the company and they treat me well. Plus wfh so cant complain too much.

I think you’re definitely in the majority on lemmy with this take but i agree.

I have a “smart tv” that has never even seen WiFi because i prefer having control over my hardware. My media pc is all i need. I even got a little remote for an air mouse and keyboard combo that works just fine for me.

Its redhat, nyuk nyuk nyuk. https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux

Or maybe Carmen is a Linux user idk i just work here man.

Not am audiophile or anything but i do like having good quality sound for listening to stuff so ive gone down the rabbit hole a couple of times.

If the audio sounds bad on more than a few headphones or speakers, could be the phone is bad out of the box. Does happen. I had a phone that was supposed to have accidental touch protection for when your phone is in your pocket but it would still turn on and mess with stuff while in my pocket.

I would recommend you check on a few diffrent speakers to see if theres any noticeable difference in quality. Headphones vs another pair or speakers in your house vs your cars speakers. That should give you an idea if its the phone itself or your current audio devices.

Jellyfin was my go to as well. It was really nice to play with and finamp was as well. Once setup it was just as easy and nice to use as Spotify without all the ads and Spotify randomly playing songs after i finish a podcast episode.

No company or entity should have the ability to sell my information. And at the very least not have access to it without my consent.

Especially if it influences how much I pay for insurance. Next thing you know, if you live near a McDonalds, your health insurance is gonna go up.

If you dont need the drive to be fast and want best bang for your buck storage capacity, HDD is the way to go.

If you want speed and are ok with a higher price, SSD is best. Used enterprise HDD are usually a good value. Im in the US so not sure about where to purchase exactly.

Something to consider is if the drive you are storing the os and files on are the same, using am HDD will make it slower on start up.
