My impression of github since switching to Linux in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

I home brew installed most stuff, yeah. I'm lucky in that I don't need a whole lot of stuff installed. Just a couple of JetBrains IDE's, a couple of browsers, iTerm2 and a handful of popular CLI utilities.

anyone who uses Linux on apple silicon or another arm device in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I did this. Was a ThinkPad Linuxer for years and now I just use an M1 for sysadmin/programming/web/vids. Quite happy to just use Linux on my servers these days. MacOS does the job nicely on laptop. I suppose it depends on how FOSS you want to be.

I recently bought a MacBook Air M1 and I came at it from a classic "ThinkPad with Fedora on it" Linux nerd perspective. I got given a Mac at work a couple of years ago, and I warmed to it. I agree that Macs are great tools for DevOps work. I used to think they were just for posers but I've been converted.

Interesting. I've been using ".home.arpa" for a while now, since that's one of the other often used ways.

Just use a $5 USB-C to 3.5mm DAC?

[-] Violet_McQuasional@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

This. I've experimented by using pex before and one or two other means of executable python wrappers and they suck. Just do as lakeeffect says.

cryptsetup hanging? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Violet_McQuasional@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

Isn't it quite common to have /boot on an unencrypted partition?

Wow. I've been using dd for years and I'd consider myself on the more experienced end of the Linux user base. I'll use cp from now on. Great link.

What I imagine when I read "Systemd is too big" in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[-] Violet_McQuasional@feddit.uk 19 points 6 months ago

First time I realised systemd had a logo. And I've been using it for years!

question about laptop docks (feddit.uk)

submitted 1 year ago by Violet_McQuasional@feddit.uk to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Is there an actual graphics processing system inside the dock? For docks with two or three HDMI outputs, shouldn't reviews be focusing on the performance of the internal GPU system? Because it's something I've not noticed in reviews if that's the case.
