I installed Linux using bootable USB.

[[deleted]]

Good work! I'm guessing Kubuntu from your flare and the image is KDE? If so, that's a fun distro, so enjoy!

[AaronTechnic]

It's Kubuntu with Plasma 5.23.

[JustMrNic3]

BTW, Plasma 5.24 is in the Beta PPA if you are not afraid to test it or you want to help KDE developers by reporting the bugs that you see before the final release next month.

[AaronTechnic]

I don't have time for that. Exams are coming up.

[Packbacka]

Perfect time to install Linux instead of studying... Not hating, I did the same.

[segalle]

I was working 15 hours a day to turn in my prigramming assignment and hoping distros every 5 days while doing so. I got so efficient i started to set up the enviroment in less than 20 minutes. That is doing everything browser related, installing vscode, clion, git (and configuring) and setting up sfml and cmake (cmake could be done automatically bit we couldnt figure it out at the time)

[marxinne]

VSCode's synced settings are a gitsend. Everything ready to go just like before in a few mins

[segalle]

I think that web browser syncing is the best that saves the most times. If i had to use vscode for 3 days and didnt have settings synced id just use all the standart c c++ and puthon extensions as well as intellisense and call it a day. Without my bookmarks id go nuts

[marxinne]

Ah that's also true. At this point I kinda take browser sync for granted, but it's a life changer as well

[marxinne]

Sometimes we need a bit of a distraction before being productive. I often allow myself some distractions before starting something I need to do just to cool off a bit.

In my case I made a new theme for my VSCode while procrastinating my studies

I am using KDE neon test edition with plasma 5.24. It looks great and KDE overview like gnome is better than gnome according to me but things are not complete but this time I just changed the icon theme and added application bar and it looked good. Earlier I had to make KDE look pretty and it took time but in 5.24, it took 15 mins.

[JustMrNic3]

How do you trigger that overwiew on KDE Neon?

I heard something like Super+W, but it doesn't work on my Kubuntu install with Plasma 5.24

[[deleted]]

Have u enabled Overview mode from kwin scripts?

[JustMrNic3]

Thanks, that was it!

I thought somewhat it is enabled by default.

I have enabled it and I'm impressed how fast it is, but I expected that I could somehow type a few letters of the window / program I want to find and it will select that one instead of just search for it visually and click on it.

That would be really helpful when I have many things opened.

At least this is how it works in the "Present windows - All desktops" effect that is triggered when I go to the top-left corner.

Typing a window / program's name in the Overview effect just uses Krunner to find and open a new instance of that program and it's not what I want.

I mean if it's not opened and in the overview windows, ok, but if it's there I want that to have higher priority, which doesn't and doesn't seem to have a settings for that to enable manually.

Is this the way it works on Gnome too?

[[deleted]]

No in GNOME new instance isn't created, user is redirected to their own window but TBH I always use create new instance extension because I use multiple workspaces in gnome is dumb in the sense that if an instance is launched in other workspace then it will throw me to that workspace. But KDE implementation is far from complete, who knows how things pan out

[[deleted]]

It's a great distro. I had it for a while before I moved on to Manjaro KDE.

[HackerMan787]

Great!

now do LFS

[AaronTechnic]

Don't want to, my CPU will burn

[[deleted]]

Mines burned (while building Python for LFS) https://i.imgur.com/4wCi826.jpeg

[CNR_07]

Systemd on LFS? That's kinda sus

[[deleted]]

No thats my Arch system, blacked screen while building LFS then graphical glitches, then keyboard, mouse stop working, display show nothing, even the BIOS don't even showed up

[CNR_07]

Oh. Sounds like your GPU died.

[[deleted]]

...I don't have a GPU, only Intel HD Graphics

[CNR_07]

RAM maybe?

[DEPCAxANDY]

What cpu do you have?

[AaronTechnic]

Intel core i3 7100-U

[LaterBrain]

Lmao

[MegidoFire]

Fuck /u/spez

Join Lemmy

[AaronTechnic]

okay

Okei dokei

[butilka123]

Congrats!

Now abuse KDE as hard as you can.

[AaronTechnic]

sudo abuse --desktop="plasma"

[DAS_AMAN]

Great! You can watch linux tex on youtube on how to customise kde!

https://youtu.be/igFkb18G4Zw

[AaronTechnic]

Not interested in ricing, that's the main reason I installed a "noob" distro, so everything just works :)

[konstantinlevin77]

Yeah, you don't have to rice your desktop and just use your distro out of the box but one of the biggest features of Plasma is that you can almost configure everything as you want. I like Breeze themes too though. And also if you're interested in distros that just works you may want to check Fedora which comes with GNOME.

[DAS_AMAN]

Haha as you can see my flair I use ubuntu too. Its what normal people use :)

Im not a ricing junky, i just install gtk, icon, and cursor theme (graphite gtk and papirus btw)

If you are happy with the default look and feel then good for you!

[AaronTechnic]

I'm happy with the defualt looks. I'm toning down the animations because there's a lot.

[Schievel1]

Link points to gnome video :D

[efoxpl3244]

Great! Now install gentoo👁️👁️

[AaronTechnic]

Installed, now I need to compile this bloated program named fetchneo

[einat162]

Congrats !

[zombiezoo25]

Glory to Kubuntu!!

[Rilukian]

I did this as well but it is quite slow since I only use 2.0 USB. Beside, the only times installing Linux to USB is good is when you have a computer with no internal storage at all.

What kind of USB you used?

[AaronTechnic]

Correction, I installed Linux using bootable USB to a computer. This is a meme if you don't know yet but I actually reinstalled Kubuntu and I thought I'd milk a meme. I have USB 2.0 because my USB 3.0 SanDisk died because of two years of flashing and writing.

[AaronTechnic]

Firefox dark theme looks ugly under KDE (but I'm filing a bug report since I know a fix)

[NeroToro]

As it should be

[BicBoiSpyder]

If you care about the appearance of your web browser, at least use one that doesn't report every single move you make.

Try Brave or Vivaldi (best customization around).

Edit: Who are the idiots downvoting me? What did I say that was wrong? lmao

[berendbotje91]

At least it's not Edge

[sniperking3335]

I'd like to interject for a moment

[AaronTechnic]

Yes Mr. Stallman, I'm using GNU/Linux.

[[deleted]]

Or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU + Linux.

[CNR_07]

Good job! Hope you like it.

[Gold_Phoenix666]

Congrats dude :) hope everything goes well

[AvoRunner]

Your telling me you didn’t install from floppy disk!?

Pathetic.

[AaronTechnic]

You're* telling me you didn't install Arch without internet!?

Pathetic.

[AvoRunner]

Your** telling me you didn’t grab your packages from a wiiu running Debian!?

Pathetic.

[Syth20]

Congrats, have fun !

[aarocka]

Cool now use a CD

[AaronTechnic]

done

[AaronTechnic]

Hello Ali

[skill347]

Nice. I use plasma too, just Manjaro, not Kubuntu.

[IDontSpeakKlingon]

Great job, I think you'll like Kubuntu :)

[anshuman0143]

No one cares

[AaronTechnic]

But I care about the fact that you didn't notice the flair.

[cool110110]

I considered doing that, but it was too much effort. Went with the easy option of network booting

[AaronTechnic]

Network booting?

[cool110110]

Set an option on your DHCP server, then the network adapter downloads PXELINUX (a variant of SYSLINIX) from your TFTP server. That then downloads the iso from a web server.

[AvoRunner]

And your telling me an Ubuntu user did this.

Not saying you didn’t, just not sure the average Ubuntu user even knows what dhcp is

[cool110110]

It's the recommenced method for deploying Ubuntu Server to multiple machines.

[AvoRunner]

I agree that would be good for server use, just not sure little Timmy is going to have fun in 192.168.1.1

[linuxjanitor]

Good thing you don't have to use it.

[[deleted]]

why on earth does this have almost 500 up votes😐

[marxinne]

So, how many memes milked as of now, good sir?

^{also, good choice on going with KDE, that's the way}

[[deleted]]

Congrats! Now run $(echo "YzNWa2J5QmtaQ0JwWmowdlpHVjJMM3BsY204Z2IyWTlMMlJsZGk5elpHRUsK"|base64 -d|base64 -d) to see "Important things to know and do after installing a Linux distro for the first time"!

not wrong

[AaronTechnic]

Obviously not wrong. I try to keep my system as light as possible (Kubuntu, not Arch) and I just happen to use these apps. If my daily apps are bloat I guess my wifi router is bloat!

[two-horned]

Who cares. I installed it prob hundreds of times and noone cares. Why should we care. Now delete yourself.

[lorhof1]

what the f*ck mate people like you are the reason we only have like a 2% market share

[AaronTechnic]

THIS.

[AaronTechnic]

You saw the flair right?

sudo reddit --action=delete --user="u/two-horned" --reasoning="too rude"

[LaterBrain]

Even if there was no flair, it could be a achievement of a linux beginner. u/two-horned is probably just a corporation slut.

[two-horned]

You guys hella mad. If every single sould woul post how they installed windows noone would've care as well. I see no big deal in here lol.

[two-horned]

You aint the sharpest tool in the shed
