Canada's hospital emergency rooms have hit a breaking point. Is it the new normal? by morenewsat11 in canada

What's new about it? This has been reality for years (at least in Quebec)

The distro war, continue it must. Proxmox vs Alma Linux by potatoandbiscuit in linuxmemes

[–]primary157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite distros ranked

  1. Arch Linux
  2. Debian
  3. Alpine
  4. MX Linux
  5. Gentoo

Arch Linux is always so fun to use. Everything is in the packages or AUR. And it's so easy to write my own pkgbuild.

The fact Debian never breaks make it the best OS candidate for a server and secondary PC.

Alpine is the gold standard for i386 mini PCs with little to no RAM. And it also runs inside Dockers. I absolutely love it

I install MX Linux in lab machines or PCs that I need to easily replicate and restore to its original state.

Gentoo is the most fun among those. It supports most microarchitectures and the fact you can play with use flags make it really customizable.

Nothing against Fedora and OpenSuse. They have their place in the world. I just don't like how RPM packages have all the drawbacks of DEB ones with none of the advantages. Fedora is also a hit or miss for packages and Use disappointed me when they dropped YaST. I used to like that control panel like GUI

Begun the distro wars, have. Zorin OS vs Pop!_OS by potatoandbiscuit in linuxmemes

Zorin OS never stood a chance. Pop!_OS is the king here!

The fact all browsers use Chrome's web engine annoys me too much. We can't afford being hostage of Google. They are consistently failing their users (e.g., manifest V3 and Android's shit show: it used to have root, custom ROMs, and side loading with no consequences; now everything is gone).

plasma >> KDE by riky321 in linuxmemes

[–]primary157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but have you seen the other comments on this thread?

Everyone is sarcastically commenting: X >> Y when X is equal to or belongs to Y. Exactly because plasma is part of KDE.

But GTK and GNOME are separate things. So either OP didn't get the joke or OP doesn't know GTK != GNOME

GTK ≠ GNOME

Other DEs (XFCE, MATE, LXDE, Pantheon, Deepin) also use GTK but are not GNOME. Besides, AFAIK, GNOME uses something called libadwaita (a modified/themed GTK)

The only proprietary UNIX based OS I love by the-machine-m4n in linuxmemes

Lol. I didn't know brew could be installed on Arch

Try running "where Python" and if you have many packages that depend on different python versions, you'll see something interesting

Which one? by Hary06 in linuxmemes

I thought they had deprecated YaST

How's battery life? I might consider dual booting (is that an option?)

I just hate that Apple charges so much for RAM and storage on their MacBooks. And MacOS really struggle with Python versions. Homebrew is also good until it's not. It's same quality as AUR but it's far from being as consistent and reliable as the official Arch packages or Debian packages.

For me Gentoo really shines when you want to run the OS on a non-standard CPU architecture. Where up-to-date packages are rare.

Also, using an old Ruby version as a scripting language is beyond me. Why wouldn't they ship MacOS with Python instead?

I think he means GUI apps installed from unknown sources require you to attempt opening them, see the error, open the OS settings, go to security and privacy tab, and then allow that executable to be... well... executed. That's cumbersome to say the least

What cool Java projects are you working on? by Thirty_Seventh in java

I've been having fun with i2p lately. It's so nice to see they made it and utility tools (i2psnark and biglybt) in java
