☂️-

you gotta get used to it, get over the frustration of having a system work completely differently than you are used to.

people spent 30 years learning windows, which is why windows frustrations are invisible.

seriously. they don’t get half the shit they deserve.

til. it never crossed my mind emacs could ever have a gui mode.

android

dark patterns go brr

lynx can be rough

i guess it’s pretty usable if you are stuck in a desert island with a 35 year old computer, a modern ish debian disc and perfect wired access to the internet.

a couple of tactical nukes

tangentially related, but the panama canal too.

guess i’m boring then

for the owners, of course.

that looks pretty good. any chance i can get that nice webui for management on regular debian?

when education isn’t liberating.

oh but it will be fast-paced alright.

Setting up firewalls on your pc

opensnitch is a nice GUI firewall that has a bit of an annoying learning curve if you are not used to networking, but is otherwise very good.

not tying this to their main account?

wait, so it was chrooting into the server you have access to is what i’m getting from this? maybe a malicious actor was trying to steal data from your work?

because it doesn’t make much sense to me that a regular joe would be targeted by such a sophisticated-looking attack, with them watching you in real time for signs of compromise.

do you happen to have a lot of bitcoin? work with sensitive stuff? is your roommate secretly working for a three letter agency?

or any of these billionaire ghouls.

key it.

finally!

fedora: bazzite is pretty much fedora silverblue without redhat. debian gnome can look and feel similar too.

cachy: you can make any linux system look any way you want. chances are you can probably simply change back to the adwaita theme.

suse: not all systems play well with a given machine, sad fact of life.

mint: take your time with it, it’s also a good system.

1: yes. sudo apt install gnome-software-flatpak-plug or something like this. you could probably install any of them you like in a similar way. 2: about the same as every other system with the same kernel, if cinnamon supports unredirection like the other DEs.
