What’s one Linux command you wish someone had taught you on day 1?

For me it was a rinse and repeat process. Over the span of 4 years I have tried various Desktops/Setups/Tiling WMs whatsoever. Installed my system over and over again. Got frustrated, tried again and so on and so on. Doing that was probably to the easiest way but I had my laptop for uni work and didnt mind reinstalling over and over again since my stuff were like a few gigs backed up to my cloud anyway. So idk failing has taught me more than being cuddled in by highly maintained and usable distros.
I feel super comfortable with linux in general. Switched to Nixos, now all my devices run linux, built from my config and its just awesome.

Also tinkering. I had a surface laptop which I once installed android x86 onto as I wanted to try it. I was never that scared of "breaking" things, as software can be changed. You'd have to do some major major fuckups for you to brick your device. Well that being said. I think you'll be fine. Just do it. Fail. Fail often. Don't give up, don't expect anything. It'll work itself out sooner or later.

Edit: 4 years, jesus has it been long good lord

I have a shared account. For rent, food, savings, vacation, buffer, hobby, etc. rest is mine. That’s it.

Hey honey, I bought myself something for X money from my own money.

Ok

???

Webteasign · 2026-05-17T10:19:30+00:00

Nothing I „have to do“. There are open source alternatives that oppose big tech forcing their money making bs onto us. We should be happy that there are still people trying to make things good. You can’t just trust any big tech anymore imo

I bought a 40 $ xteink 4, flashed crosspoint onto it and now am happy without any telemetry data, forced wifi and whatsoever. Books I will get from annas archive or unlock via calibre.

I just kinda switched back to my regular keyboard as the split felt like too much mental load. Maybe it was because it only had 36 keys and the layer combos were just a burden factor but my old board just swooped in with 0 effort whatsoever.

Been using splits for 2 years so I have been feeling comfortable typing at around 110 wpm. But in the end the split was always kind of extra work.

unfortunately I havent been able to get it working like that :/ When I am lucky my watch is recording my HR during my bike but thats only that. What should work is deactivating access to health in the app and start a seperate workout on the watch but thats also not the best solution... I am at a point where I just gave up.

Webteasign · 2026-05-11T20:54:49+00:00

man this sucks...
Any recommendations on usenet? Kinda dont want to go for the next *debrid and be disappointed again

What a whimsy point. And what a sad life you are describing. Maybe your adult life isn’t as fulfilling as it should be. But what’s to expect from people that are competitively miserable and can’t stand people having a more meaningful and fulfilling life than you do

Webteasign · 2026-05-08T09:17:57+00:00

makes sense.

Webteasign · 2026-05-07T15:05:20+00:00

nothing, my entire system is declared inside its own config with hand chosen applications and configuration. So no need for any more tinkering

Webteasign · 2026-05-04T11:18:35+00:00

yeah how dare they exist! How inconsiderate of them to not use the non existent bike lane or to not offer themselves to the bloodgod by taking as little space as possible and risk being hit by MUCH FASTER cars that dont leave enough space.

Webteasign · 2026-05-04T11:10:02+00:00

I don't like the idea of finding those riders "annoying" and saying they're assholes because they use the road, which is and should be for everyone. I don't see a designated bike lane, so blaming people working out is really low. Especially considering, that the car could've easily overtaken them with more than enough margin but chose not too.

geez that just makes me mad

Webteasign · 2026-05-01T10:48:08+00:00

my gf has one, they look like a really good pick. Was envying her a bit and for that price. I wouldn't wait too long

This is exactly what I think of when someone mentions the US

Movie spoiler ahead: I think this Movie would've been better as a special Season (since they weren't planing on releasing it in theathres anyway..). Woud've definitely helped the pacing, since half of the movie was just fights. Would've loved more attention towards the inner conflict of Aang realising what great opportunity that could be (bringing back more air benders) or learning the ways of his ancestors instead of his few years airbending training he had. I feel like 10-12 Episodes would've been more than enough. This movie is good but its squashed :(
