System76 is doing that these days. They put extra hardware support for their Linux distro TuxedoOS and I’ve heard good things.
Edit: System76 make PopOS and Tuxedo computers make TuxedoOS

I can tell that this guy fucks
I kebab case mine for personal files.
It’s mostly because I don’t have to use a modifier key and it’s doesn’t need url encoding and all in the same lowercase. Dot notation looks nice but I feel like dots are for extensions only. Flat case is horrible to read, screaming case even worse, camel/pascal case to many times ends up as coolFileNAme on first time typing.
I’ve done a couple of different styles because of programming in different languages but now if I have to do anything that’s not kebab case I make a small frown.
Also, even if you think it’s a bug it might be a feature that other people use and “fixing” changing it might break systems.
There’s always going to be pushback on new ideas. He’s basically asking people questions like “Hey how does your thing work? I want to write it in rust.” and gets the answer “I’m not going to learn rust.”.
I think rust is generally a good thing and with a good amount of tests to enforce behavior it’s possible to a functionally equivalent copy of the current code with no memory issues in future maintenance of it. Rewriting things in rust will also force people to clarify the behavior and all possible theoretical paths a software can take.
I’m not gonna lie though, if I would have worked on software for 20 years and people would introduce component that’s written in another language my first reaction would be “this feels like a bad idea and doesn’t seem necessary”.
I really hope that the kernel starts taking rust seriously, it’s a great tool and I think it’s way easier to write correct code in rust than C. C is simple but lacks the guardrails of modern languages which rust has.
The process of moving to rust is happening but it’s going to take a really long time. It’s a timescale current maintainers don’t really need to worry about since they’ll be retired anyway.
Step one: Find terminal that’s convenient for you. For me it’s yakuake and some use a runner or whatever.
Step 2: Find stuff that you do on a regular basis with your computer and do it with the terminal instead. (Open 3 programs, run a steam game or whatever)
Step 3: Use a bashrc file to make an alias for it.
Step 4: Find stuff a couple of actions you do the same way every time like open 3 work programs, start torrent + vpn or whatever and put them in a bash function inside bashrc.
You might not need it though. The terminal is has mostly only two uses in my opinion. Automate stuff and/or do stuff you can’t do with the UI. I use the terminal heavily for work (programming) but hardly otherwise because the best way to break my OS is to change some OS config with terminal commands lol
It sounds great. Cosmic is off to a great start and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
The only way to fix your computer is to uninstall all spyware like Windows
I wanted to learn programming and I heard Linux was nice. I remember setting up Java on Linux was pain (2012) and I decided to try Linux and see what happens.
I decided to go for a learning experience and installed Arch, I got through the installation and was shown KDE and I was amazed until something weird broke. The utter bliss of customising the UI to my liking was so good.
I then tried Ubuntu, it worked but I was disappointed it wasn’t KDE but I liked the part where all the guides online were basically geared towards Ubuntu/Debian setups.
So I checked out KDEs website and I saw KDE Neon and thought “That’s the one for me. Based on Ubuntu with latest KDE.” not wrong, but not right either. I entered KDE Neon when it was still a dev distro without knowing. Stuff broke every now and then but nothing major. KDE Neon since v6 has been amazing. I’ve had a couple of Wayland crashes but the bloody thing restores everything in the exact same place, same activity, virtual desktop, size and all and it has only happened once since v6.
KDE just keeps getting better.
Desktop environment to be specific.
You’re asking the Linux community to agree on something
That Linux is a single OS where OS means a distro. They end up thinking that there are 3 systems in the world, Windows, Mac and Linux.
They’re pretty close, there are three types of kernels used my majority of modern computers but they since they aren’t really into different OS software they equate it with “there only 3 types of OS GUIs”.
It’s not the yet but it’s getting pretty close these days
I bought a used desktop with 4 SATA ports. Has i5 7th gen and currently 5 TB and an 500GB SSD and has max ram of 64GB. I guess the HDD are not included in the price?
I’m not sure what your software requirements are but if you go the DIY route a desktop works. I made the BIOS auto turn on on power restored and have services start on startup so it gives the server feeling.
Bonus is that you can use it as a gaming server and upgrade the components easily for a while depending on the motherboard.
Snaps sucks, canonical sucks, Amazon integration sucks, KDE updates are years behind which also sucks, pushing snaps over deb sucks, pushing snap over flatpak sucks.
However, Ubuntu is a great distro. Incredibly stable, very well tested and polished. Installation is super easy and hardware support is very good, unless you got some very new hardware.
I recommend Ubuntu to a lot of people even though I’d never use it myself. Most people just want their computer to work.
Systemd is not that bad. It’s pretty stable, modular and frees up a ton of time for OS developers. Sure, Alpine’s init system is faster but it also has fewer features.
I did computer science 5 years ago and it was mostly good. I used KDE Neon before it was considered a real user distro by developers so I had some Wayland issues. When I tried to use the commandline and edit config files manually I messed stuff up but using the distro as intended was always nice and easy.
Your milage may vary depending on what programs your school forces you to use because universities don’t support anything except Linux and Mac. I want to argue for accessibility but teachers don’t care enough.
80% of people have never tried Linux and I’m pretty sure 80% of people only use computers for browsers, email and basic word processing. For those use cases almost every Linux just works. Meanwhile Windows is dropping support for old hardware so it’ll just stop working.
I mean, sure, if you buy a computer with Windows on it it’ll most likely just work for most of it’s lifespan but if you buy a Tuxedo laptop it’s pretty much supported for life.
In my opinion the UX and customization in windows is complete garbage so it very much doesn’t just work for me.
Best way to not lose data is to never delete it. Buying a new hard drive can definitely do that but backing up everything you want is completely fine too.
If you don’t want to lose data you have to keep it somewhere. Current hard drive is a good choice.
Sorry, I mixed those up. Thanks for the correction
