I flip flopped a bit over the years on my laptop, right now I’m on KDE as I feel it’s the better DE at this time.
On the desktop I’d always go with KDE, no question.

I’ve layered zsh, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting and syncthing. The first three because the version from homebrew behaved weird, syncthing because I’ve got two users on this computer and
systemctl enable syncthing@useris easier than dealing with podman containers right now. - Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 1 day ago:
As a long time Fedora user, it’s difficult to convince other Linux users of how reliable it is. I’ve used it on multiple computers for I think about a decade and I’ve rarely had problems, certainly fewer than I had with Windows.
Last week I finally parted with standard Fedora to try out an immutable version, right now it’s Bazzite… I’ve got to say it’s very cool, for some things it may be better for beginners, but for most I’d say it’s better to stick to the normal ones.
I think it’s better with KDE, though, especially if you’ve got multiple monitors with different pixel densities.

That’s what free software advocates have been telling everyone for decades. When you use proprietary software licensed to you, you have no agency in what becomes of it, they can force you to accept changes that you don’t agree with, violate your privacy, take what you thought you owned from you.
People give up freedom for convenience and treat those that don’t as crazy misguided idealists, thinking they’re fools for using less convenient and sometimes powerful fools for pointless principles only they care about… Meanwhile, if everyone was just a tiny bit like the crazy idealists, these companies wouldn’t be able to abuse their position because a modicum of resistance from everyone would be an overwhelming force for them.
Some will say it’s dumb being idealist about computer software, but aside from computer software being serious fucking business, the practices of these companies are what birthed disposable, unrepairable electronics, privacy erosion, robber AIs and so on. Do you think a tech industry dominated by free software supporters would have allowed the rise of people like Bezos, Zuckerberg or Musk? - Comment on VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom 5 days ago:

- Comment on Use HomeAssistant as remote "Backup Facility"? 1 week ago:
If you take charge of maintaining this system, maybe it would be easier to install HA supervised in a docker container and have another container for wireguard+syncthing.
A pi5 with 8gb should be enough unless your parents’ HA is an hypertrophic installation with hundreds of devices.

It’s possible he actually doesn’t like Haunted Chocolatier, therefore escaping back to work on Stardew Valley when he can’t force himself anymore

Weird. That’s one issue I didn’t have, luckily.

It slows down A LOT over time, the bigger the file, the faster, it seems… I close and reopen it often, luckily it launches in an instant

Yeah, unfortunately 1.0 is the version I’m talking about

I do keep trying, but I miss what I’m used to. I’ve tried a VM but it’s too slow, and I fought with GPU Passthrough but gave up. I do hope the whole Trump situation pushes the EU to support Linux more, but I’m not holding my breath.

I’ve been… Struggling with FreeCAD for a while. I really want to support it, you know, open source and all, but it’s really rough. Something that takes 10 minutes in SOLIDWORKS takes at least one hour in FreeCAD, not accounting for crashes, and complexity increases time exponentially.
Importing and placing .step files is rather difficult, big assemblies tend to degenerate despite careful binding; I try to bind to the origin as much as possible, often sacrificing adaptability, but it still gets messed up after a while. - Comment on Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows" 2 weeks ago:
I’m missing SOLIDWORKS after converting my last Windows PC to Linux

Oh, sorry, since we were talking about the good ol’ days I thought it was implicit I wasn’t talking about lithium batteries

- Comment on Tempest Rising accidentally launched a week early on Steam, and the publisher has decided to just go with it 3 weeks ago:
Set in 1997 in the wake of World War 3, the world has become afflicted by a strange new growth called Tempest, a russet, flowery structure that looks like a plant but isn’t. Tempest is hazardous to human health and spreads rapaciously, but it’s also an abundant energy resource. This makes it the primary catalyst of a war between Earth’s two dominant factions, the Global Defence Force (GDF) and the Tempest Dynasty.
You weren’t kidding, lol.
Good anyway, someone has to make good C&C games, and sure as hell it ain’t gonna be EA. - Comment on Conduwuit is dead, long live Tuwunnel! 4 weeks ago:

At this point, something like a steam deck would go better with the glasses, at least it has its own battery

Eh Arch can be quite stable if you’re careful, but it could also be a frustrating experience, there’s lots of manual configuration
