Same.

I had been dualbooting between win10 and linux for quite some time, but at some point near the win10 EOL, I realized I had not booted to windows in ~8 months or so. Decided it was time to nuke the windows partitions.

Okular? Iirc it opens cbt and the likes fine.

I don’t think btop even records to any output file, it’s more of a “taskmanager with graphs” than a logging utility.

btop? it’s pretty customizable, if a bit too flashy (by default) to my liking. https://github.com/aristocratos/btop - should be available on repositories for most distros.

Defender is antimalware/antivirus. There at least used to be a separate firewall in windows, but not sure if it’s a part of defender or not.

Either way, “firewall” is traffic control, antimalware/virus is the execution guardian.

you can always add eg. a swap file later if needed - apparently not as good as a swap partition, but it is more flexible. With 48 GB of ram I hardly think you’re going to have issues, but that depends entirely on what do you do with the system.

Firewall isn’t really helping the system against you, it’s to block ousiders getting in - more or less.

install locations: if you just use what’s in mint’s repositories, you don’t really need to think about it. Out-of-repository stuff like steam games etc generally live in ~/.steam or so. Or in some dedicated path you configure in steam/whatever.

As for snap/flatpaks/whatever, haven’t used a single one. But in general: I’d favor the distribution’s repos, if at all possible for installs. If the app isn’t there, but is in snap… fine, I guess? As long as it’s managed by some kind of package manager for easy install/update/uninstall. But having to manually download and install from a website? Rather not, that’s when the maintenance becomes manual.

And of course, opinions are opionated. Your system, your rules. :P

good best debugger

tldr; basically you explain your buggy code to the duck, and when you explain it, you suddenly realize what the issue is.

any inanimate or even imaginary object works, but rubber duck is the classic option.

Windows: repeated acts of footgun

Linux: …oooookay?

I used archinstall archsockbuy

damnit, ordered the wrong color socks AGAIN. Wish the arch wiki would have this documented.

looks like a subscription based extension / service for canned responses.

eg typing :pricing produces some canned response about whatever pricing you provide, with some tokens filled with recipients name etc. I guess it could be handy for some tasks, but paying for it? eeeh.

heh, still using bunch of stupidly old rss-feeds for webcomics. Admittedly some of them have turned into just links to their websites, but most of them still work fine! My list of comic rss’ date way back to early google reader -times, if not older.

not op, but the last panel has the signature “catana comics” https://catanacomics.com/

the website seems to be just links to their shop and instagram - where they post their comics.

it was a sad day when Wine removed their old support for 16bit games. Wine used to run eg. Castle of the Winds just fine, though admittedly there was a very minor graphical glitch with tiling, but the game worked fine.

Now I’m back to just running win3.1 in dosbox for the game :P

Me? It was one of the built-in themes. It was horrible, yes.

there’s only one true 3.1 theme:

Learning about random internet-users’ kinks…? I guess there’s worse ways to spend a friday :D

I’m not entirely in the know either, but I’m assuming it’s about holding a dick, and it’s some kind of domination/powerplay thing (like the “step on me, mommy”) that MANY on the internet seem to be into.

But, I’m just guessing.
