And no mention of gpg or s/mime support either.

And the person who moves more on their chair will have less back and neck pain. I do the same while using Linux. And I have a standing desk at work which is up at least 1/3 of the time. (:

Oh, I thought hibernation is always understood as suspend to disk and sleep as suspend to ram.

One should consider power consumption regardless of the price. If it is no server, you can prolong the life of your hardware not running it 24/7.

Hibernate to the rescue. (:

It is like sleep, but does not need any power. You need to do regular restarts after major updates (new kernel and stuff), though.

It seems the we, the “hibernators” are still a minority.

For suspend-to-ram (sleep) your swap file/partition/volume does not matter.

You can save power and time by using suspend-to-disk (hibernate). For this I recommend giving it 150% swap space compared to your RAM. During hibernate you can switch off your power supply completely to even save the standby power consumption of it. Maybe you know of power distributors with switch.

Waking from hibernate has almost the same “issues” as waking from sleep. I have zero issues with an AMD gpu.

And I thought, I am the only one using it. I have a swap file on btrfs on a LUKS-encrypted drive. It is custom, yes, but also very reliable.

I use hibernate (suspend-to-disk). This way I can save power and have all the apps open when I login after resume from disk. Full reboot happen after important security or major updates.

My swap volume is 150% the size of my RAM so that there is never a situation where I cannot do this. The only program I close before systemctl hibernate is my browser. That saves sone wear on the SSD.

Hibernate works surprisingly well on Linux. Even with LUKS encryption you can make it work.

When will I migrate from Remmina to RustConn?

Downvoting because, when I think of FOSS it is all public transport.

Can some create a train/bus version of this meme? I don’t have the skill or authority to do that.

RustConn looks very promising. Could it retire Remmina?

I am interested in the journey you are taking since I use Zabbix for monitoring some servers.

That’s why I have disabeled it for vim. Infact I disabled mouse support alltogether.

I am guilty of using scp. Glad to see that there is a reimplementation going on.

Yes, I see now that this is not helpful at all. I’ll put a disclaimer in front of it. I don’t want to write a comment like that again.

I came to Linux without the “help” of social media as we know it today. That may be part of the reason, why I did not make such a experience myself. I remember asking someone from a higher semester in university how to burn a CD on Linux. They gave me three lines of cli and the name of another GUI tool I don’t remember. They didn’t tell which distro or environment to use. They must have assumed, I will find it on any of them.

That response in the past should’ve been and will be my guideline.

Or BigBlueButton

Thx, I think, I will look into chocolatey if WAU is not working out as expected.

Thx, sometimes I forget that. But I don’t get what you mean by “purity test shit”. I am not that “I use Arch, btw.” kind of person, I just have a strong opinion about what is user friendly. Maybe I voice it more here than I would in RL. When someone with no idea about what’s suitable I recommend what I use, because then I can help better. And I recommend what they usually get out-of-box with no extensions, because then they can get help from others with the same default setup.

Maybe this attitude comes from my struggle with other desktops than Gnome. The Terminal is the only universal thing between all distros and desktop environments. Package managers don’t differ that much these days.

And yes, I agree, distro or desktop environment hopping is not a thing a user should need to do in order to be comfortable with their computer.

I am a Gnome person, like others are MacOS or users of the Windows UI paradigm. Even in the time when I used a fork of dwm to create my own tiling window manager rice, I used a lot of Gnome/GTK apps. I am now back on Gnome with the PaperWM extension and I am in my happy space. I think, it is the positive enthusiasm (spelled wrong, I know) that drives my attitude, too. This can be overwhelming and could lead to things others don’t want on their computers. I could try to dial it down. So, thx again for reminding me.

Edit; disclaimer / content warning: This is a hot take and not helpful for new users! Stay away from reading it unless you want to know, how new users should not be treated. I certainly have learned my lesson (see comments).

Actually …

I still don’t get why Mint with it’s legacy Cinnamon desktop is recommended to new Linux users. Even Debian stable with a modern Gnome or Plasma desktop would do more justice to the growing FOSS ecosystem. Or go with Fedora which I recommend to all Linux/FOSS-newbs.

This is a meme, but my strong opinion at the same time. Go with Mint/Cinnamon as long as you like; you’ll make your own experiences and it is part of Linux/FOSS, too.
