And to top it off, YT Music stopped working for me, and has done the same for many others on some accounts (the revanced team thinks it's a/b testing from google).

I guess it's time to update my local music collection.

As a Vivaldi user, I found that no other browser works as well for me, as Vivaldi does. I can't imagine life without browser workspaces, sync, vertical tabs on the desktop, and a mobile tab bar at the bottom.

The closest alternative is either Floorp or Zen, with mobile Firefox and Sync, but I found Vivaldi is just smoother and a better and more well-integrated user experience for me.

I think it's more about the specsheet than anything else. If Mint works, great! I'm just not too sure how well it will work (It should work well, but is it the best option?).

It feels weird that I'm following Mattermost so much, yet I'm first finding out about it from Lemmy.

Still wonderful news though!

Here's my .zshrc:

and ~/.config/zsh:

This config uses Starship for a prompt (https://starship.rs/), Homebrew as an extra package manager, and my own custom fetch script at:

A lot of it was taken from Luke Smith's zsh config. Say what you will about him, he's got a good zsh config. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLEo4OQ-cuQ

I agree, and COSMIC aims to reach Mint level and stay there. Settings have continuously improved (like everything else), and the main feature of COSMIC is tiling (regular people don't care about written-in-Rust or Wayland-only). I can't wait to see major settings/features appear with the next release, like Night Light. For now, I just want to see it stabilise fully and reach release.

I can think of one: Excel Macros. If this had come out before May 2022, it would have saved me from needing to dual boot for a single assignment where I needed to do data analysis using Excel just two months after switching to Linux. It was literally around 2 hours of work, or less, and the entire dual boot setup took a similar time.

And that's why even static sites like Hugo blogs or even simple pages like the one OP posted should have HTTPS. Source: Studied Distributed Systems at university.

If you’re a new or intermediate Linux user or sysadmin, you might have felt an odd fascination with the myth of systemd. I invite you to this deep dive into systemd's nuts and bolts. I'm not gonna beat around the bush: It's a hairy business, it will be hard, but I promise juicy and satisfying rewards if you keep pumping through this guide.

Let’s start by uncovering the “D” of systemd, the secret sauce that doesn't get the love it deserves: D-Bus.

Okay, those innuendos have to be intentional!

It isn't. I'm on PopOS 24.04 Alpha 7 (soon to be Beta 1), because of COSMIC (and because I was having some bugs with Fedora a few months back).

I recently wanted to tinker with a piece of software that wasn't packaged, and I couldn't compile it because of outdated libraries. I could return to Fedora specifically to tinker with it but as an ex-distrohopper, I know it isn't worth the effort.

Even though Fedora or some version of it will likely be my forever distro, I will stick to PopOS for now because I can't be bothered to distrohop and back up months' worth of files, including game saves and a ton of stuff in my Downloads directory.
