And the message “DON’T PANIC” in big friendly letters.

Linux still sometimes brings me back to the C64 and Amiga days and and nights of fiddling and figuring things out. Learning experiences and fun times.

Variants and derivates of Debian on my servers and other headless devices because no reason except I know it, it is stable, it works.

Been trying linux for desktop every five-ten years for the last twenty odd years and went back to Windows every time because it was too bad experience despite I really tried to like it.

Except this time.

Fedora KDE on my laptop, soon on my stationary as well. No more Windows for me.

Another potential cause for random slowdown, errors and crashes could be overheating. Check that the fans are spinning and airflow is unobstructed. I don’t remember from the top of my head and I’m not near a computer but maybe somebody else remembers his to check that all sensors are detected and operational.

Then we do not agree at all. I think key is to help people to help themselves to learn, sometimes by telling them to figure it out themselves when you know it is something that is an easy peasy figure for anybody that actually makes an attempt at it. Not to provide answers until you feel the community is big enough to not accept slop any more because arbitrary feels and then abandon ship. And who are you to decide and tell people to leave, me now and others later? Putting on some tall horse big balls pants there my dude community boss.

Btw, none of this is what enshittification means, just for your information. And as a gift, I bestow upon you this quest to learn what it actually means, all by yourself! It will provide you with knowledge and skills to carry for the rest of your life. Yay! You may now downvoted because I made you pissy, but sometimes getting pissy is required for personal growth.

Following your speculative reasoning - sure, until this forum too much like any other before it becomes swamped with non questions like this and becomes heavily moderated by necessity and users like yourself are upset that moderators are not doing their non paid volunteer work and then for doing it.

I told op they could solve this problem themselves in the same time they asked others to do it for them, which my follow up prove they could. OP gave no indication or information of making any attempts to find information or solve it themselves or why they would have hardships doing so, only a complaint that software A doesn’t function like software B. I’m glad to help when someone is struggling, but at least try something yourself first.

Yeah, frankly, I’m so tried of people doing exactly this when information on the topic is plentiful at the bare minimum of effort. I think it is plain laziness and from the time of forums and news groups it was considered arrogance to expect others to donate time for your non issues.

But I’m glad you are stimulated.

Btw, how do I make a bechamel? How do I convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit? Is this an excellent use case for ChatGPT if I can’t be arsed to use search engines?

The first hit in my first search. Amazing.

Imagine doing a search instead of asking others to solve it for you.

I got it on time because I subscribe to Lemmy Plus! Now I can never go back to Lemmy Community Edition.

Sidenote, maybe some of your applications do not need a Linux computer but a microcontroller like an Arduino or a ESP32 is sufficient.

Similar story here. Tried some latest versions of popular distros. Settled with Fedora KDE. Fedora supported nearly everything in my convertible laptop out of the box where others were hit and miss. Easy transition from Windows 10. KDE doesn’t enforce it’s own opinions of desktop and workflow like Gnome does. Steam, Epic and GoG all play fine. It’s my daily driver now. Much recommended.

Yep. And if you edit it you can reload it with “. ~/.bash_aliases” and if you do it frequently you can create an alias for it.

.

It’s a convertible that you can use as a tablet.

Others have already answered your questions, so I’ll just drop in my anecdotal experience to moving over my desktop to Linux last year. I tried a few different distros but settled with Fedora KDE edition. It works with everything exotic in my laptop out of the box, except for the gyro that doesn’t work with anybody else either. The desktop feels familiar and is easy to customize. I tried to like Gnome and variants but it is really settled on The Gnome Way of doing everything. Fedora is a fresh experience from previous attempts of going full Linux desktop with Ubuntu and even Mint. The GUI for software and package management is neat and includes native packages, flatpak both the fedora builds and mainline. Some minor things are not quite there but I believe that will be the Linux experience forever and I’m okay with it. I recommend to try it.

Be honest. What did you say that offended Firefox so bad it decided to leave?

Basically, yeah. Bind the “local” path on boot and then have systemd triggers for when USB mounts and unmounts to swap them automatically.

(Personally I wouldn’t do it like this though because it will become trouble with any open files or shell or whatever in a path that is replaced by a different mount.)

The easy solution would be to have a third common mount point for the two that is switched if the external drive is connected or not.
