As a vim user who recently started with Emacs, if you ever want to try it, use evil-mode to get vim motions.

You can run i3 inside XFCE on a per user basis, but convincing my wife/kids to swap users when they need the computer for “just a second”…

I just take the win that they are on Linux and use a shared account.

XFCE. I also like tiling WMs, but I often have to share computers and they are too unintuitive for the rest of the family.

As someone stuck in DTW, I feel the pain.

The beauty of Linux at home, you get to choose what works best for you.

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for “security”, so I would just ‘sudo bash’ which is obviously much safer /s.

I totally expect one day a XFCE (Wayland) option will show up, I will click it, forget I did, and use it forever more.

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn’t have Wayland yet
2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn’t work
3. I don’t change my setups that much, so I haven’t tried it since
4. I don’t need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

Perhaps the solution is to figure out how to update without restarting. It is a hard problem, but a forced restart is the same as a crash from a user perspective.

BusyBox + Linux = Linux

There are distros that don’t install man by default? Crazy.

Similarly, I like to toy around with tiling window managers, but then someone less technical needs to use the computer, so back to XFCE we go.

I do love the “shorts can be no more than 1 inch above the knees”, but “cheerleaders get to wear the equivalent of bathing suits to class because it is a ‘uniform’.”

I think that both ChromeOS and Android are Linux. They may not embody a free software mentality, but they are Linux.

Controls felt a little janky to me, but I loved the game. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a shorter Metroidvania experience, especially if the art style is appealing to you.

I’ve been using Void Linux for my home server for a few years now. It uses runit instead of OpenRC, and I haven’t had any problems with it. I would recommend the glibc version over the musl version.

Got 1 VM using KVM (Home Assistant), about a dozen docker containers, and a couple of services running on their own.

A percentage scales within an establishment, but not really across them.

Probably because of what happened to CentOS. Who owns the Fedora trademark? How independent is Fedora really?

I am not saying anyone should avoid Fedora, I can just understand why someone would.
