@drwho It’s amazing how much work can go on behind the scenes to make things smooth and simple for the user…

@drwho @squid_slime

Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure!! I can’t imagine juggling all those steps just to boot up the system…

@lemmysarius @halm

After doing a few Google searches, I found that non-destructive editing is not fully implemented in GIMP 3.0, but that it is something that some of the developers are hoping to work towards over the next few years. GIMP 3.0 appears to primarily focus on moving to GTK+3…

@sanpo @atzanteol We always figure something out (^~)

@Steamymoomilk At the very least, they could create deb & or rpm packages. They also have the option to use flatpak, snap, or appimage…

@4am @stebo02 yt-dlp is probably the best downloader on the planet. I have it installed on literally every device possible…

@sugar_in_your_tea Same here… Until now, I’ve pretty much used each phone until the batteries died or the phones stopped receiving updates. My current phone, “OnePlus 9 Pro,” is different, though, because I’m considering replacing the battery when it goes and using the phone long after updates have stopped. Having no security updates doesn’t really bother me because I don’t actually use my phone all that much, and whenever I do, I’m pretty careful anyway.

@sugar_in_your_tea fair enough & I suppose you could just go to a repair shop if not…

@sugar_in_your_tea @okamiueru 7 years of updates is great, but will the phone’s battery last for 7 years, though?

@pukeko that was a fun read 🫠 strange behaviour… Was gonna say about a dirty keyboard, but it’s clearly more than that. Hope you get sorted friend 🙃

@johnglass @LeFantome @gerdesj #Vivaldi looks like a great browser, but I’ve yet to try it out & probably never will…

@LeFantome @gerdesj I’ve found a few alternatives to #chrome & #firefox over the years, but most of them weren’t all that great…

@mfat I don’t have snap or flatpak installed in any of my systems, therefore my entire system is still all upgraded with a single command…

@Otherwise_Direction7 @ccunix Yes Kodi is indeed a medic center, but you could launch it directly though a custom xsession, without the need for a de or wm. See the paste link below…

@wildbus8979 @ChunkMcHorkle +1 for Debian. I ran Debian with XFCE for a number of years on a 2009 standard white MacBook, without any problems…

@Yoru Windows is NOT Unix, so this does NOT count…

@Reva WindowLab is something I wanted to try back when I originally found it. I never actually did, but if it still works, I maybe still could…

@NightAuthor @Frederic so many old posts have been resurfacing lately…

@mimichuu_ Yea I have a few off the top of my head…

1. Try to update as regularly as possible.

2. Use “netselect-apt” to get the best mirrors for APT.

3. APT supports parallel downloads, so enable them straight after installation.

4. APT caches downloaded packages by default, which can consume disk space over time. Make sure to clean it every once in a while with “sudo apt-get clean”.

@dontcarebear @ylai Debian is hard to beat… Screw corporate Linux… Stick with tried and true distros like Debian & everything will be sweet…
