Now this is enlightening
I was assigned the installation of a whole industrial line for food packaging, multiple millions worth, on and off I spent like 8 months abroad forcing badly designed machines into working (I was the top tech and I resigned after this job), even ended up in the hospital, likely due to stress. Few months after I left, I go out drinking with a former colleague who had been on site with me, he says: “Well, I’m happy to inform you that, the customer hasn’t called us for months! Means everything’s working, great job!” and shook my hand.
The following morning, another former colleague sends me the screenshot of a mail from the customer saying that the business opportunities didn’t work out and they’re decommissioning the line. Literal blood, sweat and tears, completely wasted.
I use Nobara on my desktop and Fedora on my laptop, they both work fine, although I’ve had a few audio issues on Nobara, but it could be the different hardware. I don’t play emulators, but every game I’ve tried on Nobara worked with no fiddling, just recently: Cyberpunk 2077, Subnautica, Horizon Forbidden West, X4…
I’ve been using Fedora for I don’t know how long, over a decade I’d say, and it’s hard to overstate it’s stability, it just works, and has great repos. My main annoyance is the frequent major version updates, it’s a quick process anyway, and I never had problems.
definitely not as easy as virtualbox
I went Inventor -> SOLIDWORKS -> Fusion -> SOLIDWORKS with maybe 3% of the issues I’ve had with FreeCAD.
You can’t easily create models based on other models, or place things around as easily, it’s always a mess of shape binders and fixed coordinates, it really limits the capabilities of the software.
I’m always checking forums, discords, YouTube for the simplest things… I’m trying and I keep trying, but it’s very obtuse to just dismiss the issues as “people don’t want to learn”, 'cause I’m putting more time into FreeCAD than any other CAD, and getting shit results.
When I started using SOLIDWORKS I had 0 training, still managed to make it work. FreeCAD is still frustrating after a lot of effort. But I keep trying, because it’s the only real open source option
It’s still… Difficult if you’re used to commercial CAD suites, but it’s leagues better than it used to be
Siemens Field PG: you make a lot of money
Gets a bit annoying when you’ve got a tower with 15 years of old drives from previous builds connected
If you’re not yet confident in your Linux skills, a good idea would be to disconnect all drives except the one you want to install on, during installation… especially if you have multiple drives of the same size
6·7 months agoI mean, people collect all sorts of weird shit
“it works for me!”
Accelerating wayland développement would mean forking it.
You mean feurking
Wasn’t Amarok (from which Clementine was forked) recently brought back from the dead?
I’m Linux-exclusive tho
shit I was planning on learning programming starting from python… so what now? I’ve got some high-school level microcontroller C memories, and I’m proficient with Ladder and simple Instruction List. I tend to learn by doing, that’s why I was going for Python, it felt like I could make something straight away.
Is XFS still maintained?
Ext4 on personal computer and ZFS on my server
I’m getting old…KISS!
