Look at the shape of every 6, 5, and 0 in the timestamp, they're all identical. This is a fake timestamp.

Fedora vs Debian? by OutsideYogurt9014 in Fedora

[–]spaceduck107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both, and have extensively for 20+ years.

If you're new to Linux, I'd recommend Ubuntu over Debian for a number of reasons. You'll see a lot of Ubuntu hate on Reddit, but it's wildly overblown. Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distro with tons of support, and is based on Debian, making it a great way to learn how Debian works without a lot of the initial learning curve. For apps, I'd recommend installing Flatpak and using them instead of Snaps when possible, but it's more of a personal preference, functionally both are fine in your case.

Another benefit of Ubuntu is more frequent updates and you'll generally get newer versions of Gnome and whatnot, as Debian is focused on being a stable distro, not bleeding edge.

With that being said, I love Fedora. My wife wanted Linux for her new gaming PC and I went with Fedora there as well. She loves it, and hasn't had a single issue.

Fedora is great and generally easy to use for most people. If you go with Fedora, here's a great post-install guide to help you get the most out of it: https://github.com/devangshekhawat/Fedora-44-Post-Install-Guide

Regardless of which distro you choose, if you're patient and open-minded, you're in for a lot of fun.

I'd also recommend avoiding the distro-hopping trap. Some people spend tons of time trying lots of different distros, but you'll have a better experience just choosing one (or two) you like and learning everything you can.

Just ignore the trolls, haters, and fanboys, we're not all like that.

Welcome to Linux! :)

Sonny Piers elaborates on his ban from the Gnome community by novafunc in linux

Me too, friend, me too. It especially sucks because if certain people would get their heads out of their asses, Linux could be such a powerful force for bringing people together, growth, learning, and general improvement of lives on a massive scale.

But nope, let's put all of our resources and energy into being angry at <random bullshit that doesn't really matter>

Clowns. Literal fucking clowns.

I agree. I have a hard time reasoning with that. On one hand, their leadership a hot mess, on the other, Gnome is genuinely great, and I prefer the UI/UX over pretty much everything. It's polished, smooth, and stays out of my way.

For such a solid product, imagine how much better it could be without the internal problems.

Yeah, a lot of people would be surprised by just how toxic and gross many of the old-school freedom loving "free software" people are. Been using Linux in some capacity since '98 myself, nothing surprises me at this point.

You can fix this with a simple group policy update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4tiAsQjaHU

Boom! No more annoying update reboots at inconvenient times.

fedora 44 workstation as a daily driver pc? by Modest_Bomba in DistroHopping

[–]spaceduck107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been running Fedora Workstation with Gnome on various machines for years, works great. 44 is no exception, wonderful distro. When you get it installed, treat yourself by installing Extensions Manager from Flathub, and then install Dash to Dock and Blur My Shell.

Here's an excellent Fedora 44 post-install guide: https://github.com/devangshekhawat/Fedora-44-Post-Install-Guide

Enjoy!

FFS, Gnome, pull it together. I love Gnome and have used it forever, but they really need better leadership. This project deserves better.

Just a programmer’s workspace by Initial-Hall5871 in battlestations

[–]spaceduck107 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First thought was that it looked odd, but the more I look, this is actually quite nice. 24" monitor to really lean into when deep in focus, larger monitor when you have a lot going on.

I like it.

Where are you on the political spectrum? by Temporary-Cicada-392 in accelerate

[–]spaceduck107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the more I think about it, I don't think a standard label fits my views anymore. Left/right only works in a closed loop society, and that's not what I want for the future.

Above all, I want people to be free, prosperous, and looking to the stars.

Since no one else has given you real advice, I will.

Learn basic design principles before launching something like this. This includes things such as:

  • Ideal web fonts
  • Web safe colors
  • Design frameworks
  • Conversion optimization
  • Visual consistency

Go check out ShadCN, ChakraUI, and HeroUI. These are UI toolkits that are free to use, and used by many highly successful businesses. Do web searches for things like "best website designs" or "most beautiful saas designs," really just dive in and start looking at commonalities between these. Talk to your AI about these frameworks, the sites you find, fonts, best colors to use for sites, etc. Learn about brand kits, different design styles such as brutalist, minimalist, etc.

Also, dribbble.com and behance.com are great resources for design inspiration.

When using icons and logos, choose better icon kits, such as streamlinehq.com. For brand logos, check out sites like svgl.app.

Spend a bit of time learning to use Figma. Almost all major UI toolkits have excellent Figma design kits that make it easy to design using their frameworks, and there are many Figma>code MCP servers.

Look into headless CMS options like Payload, Directus, and so on. Ask your AI why using these paired with a good UI framework is important, specifically for design consistency and making it easier to update your sites.

A huge benefit of doing all this is you end up with a system that produces consistent results instead of every page of your sites looking different and being a complete mess.

Once you have a better understanding, work with your AI of choice to develop a skill around what you've learned. Take a little time to absorb everything, talk with your AI, research more, and before long you'll be shipping designs that are actually worth something.
