Please just nail laptops and get where they are in stock and new parts keep being released before you spread yourself too thin.

Flathub now marks unverified apps by GnomeComedy in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I don't see how that's true. The main point of AppImage is it 'just works' on any distro. If you have one primary place to distribute them to any distro - it's still meeting AppImage's vision.

Good time to install Linux and switch for good. You'll save thousands of dollars over your lifetime if you stop buying Apple.

Enterprise Linux on desktop? by GnomeComedy in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] GnomeComedy@beehaw.org 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I run RHEL on my personal desktop and laptop. Why? Because I use it at work and the more I use it the better I understand it. This benefits me both at home and at work. I've even built Ansible roles and playbooks in git to setup my home machines. Overkill? Sure, but I have great peace if mind if I lose a boot drive that I'll be right back to normal quickly.

You can absolutely use an enterprise distro at home. Ignore the trolls about "It's all too old" or "it doesn't have X software". I don't care what version vim, GNOME or pretty much anything is, as long as I can open the core tools I need. For "missing" software: I've yet to find any software I "need" that I haven't figured out how to install (again: Ansible-d) including Flatpak for all the normie stuff (spotify, slack, discord, etc) and I'm golden.

'Best for what?' is the issue with this never-ending pointless discussion.

RHEL is a fantastic distro... For some things. It's also a horrible distro... For other things.

PXE Template? (beehaw.org)

submitted 9 months ago by GnomeComedy@beehaw.org to c/nixos@lemmy.ml

Does NixOS have a way to PXE many machines via a kickstart or preseed equivalent? I'm curious to experiment with it in the context of a University environment and we use either Cobbler or Foreman for host provisioning.

Also curious what the best practice is for config management. I only know enough to know there's a nix config file that declares everything. Does this completely supplant puppet/salt/ansible, or do you use them together?

Thanks for any tips!

Ubuntu Core Desktop Delayed, Won't Be Released in April by GnomeComedy in c/linux@lemmy.ml

They probably realized snaps are garbage and are still trying to desperately un-garbage them before the release.

Big Tech Won’t Let You Leave. Here’s a Way Out by GnomeComedy in c/technology@beehaw.org

Yup. Got the pop-up about being out of free articles. Opened a browser I never use (with no ad blocker... Cause I never use it) so I got to experience the site with ads.

The entire experience was hilariously ironic to read about service's enshitification... While being bombarded with constant ad garbage.

Bye bye wired. That was a waste of my time.

What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive? by GnomeComedy in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] GnomeComedy@beehaw.org 16 points 11 months ago

Don't become so concerned with if you could, that you overlook if you should.

I would buy a larger drive.
