Programming and reading.
This would likely only hurt the end user. Many use chromium-based browsers, so you’re just driving those away.
You can detect Firefox, so you can do a superficial block in JS, but lemmy is such a simple site that you’d find it hard to find areas where there’s actual differences between the browsers, those usually only come from complex pages like video calling
Immutable distros aren’t immutable in the home folder though, they would be unusable otherwise, so that doesn’t solve OPs problem of dotfiles/personal files (I know nixOS tries to get rid of dotfiles, but in my experience that almost never works, it’s only helpful for replacing config files in /etc)
Same logo as on the left picture (bottom right corner) but rotated to align with the finger
Not quite correct. For html, that is to signal standard compliance, you can leave it away and the browser will still handle it. For the bash one, all (most) shell scripts use .sh, so you need to give a shebang to tell the loader which executable (sh, bash, zsh, csh, …) to use
Also on Linux xdg does take file extensions into account, just executables do not
You can start steam just fine without the packages. In fact, if you install without them, it’ll ask you to install them every time, but you can skip that and it’ll work, just 32bit games won’t launch
Edit: Looks like I’m partially wrong, as pointed out by a commenter below, steam currently only launches the 32-bit version of the client, despite support for a 5l64-bit client
It’sintended to be used when the cookies are actually required for the app to work. For example, to preserve your login, you need a cookie, no way around. Unfortunately, as mentioned by others, it’s often abused
555 is still in beta, so I wouldn’t be surprised if something doesn’t work. That said, I haven’t experienced what you have (on GTX 1070 TI), though using 555 causes lots of kernel errors for me. Checking dmeg might reveal something in your case as well.
Pretty sure the commenter above meant that the their RAM was advertised as X GiB but they only got X GB, substitute X with 4/8/16/your amount
I use it for everything, because I connected my external monitors through the eGPU. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME has a few methods for running only selected applications via the eGPU, but I haven’t tried them. Edit: See also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/External_GPU#Xorg for eGPU specific setups.
Can confirm, I’m using a dock (from Razor) daily without problems. Hot switching doesn’t work though, you need to restart X/your display manager to connect or disconnect the eGPU. I’d recommend the gswitch utility to configure the graphics card to be used (on X11). Haven’t tested much on Wayland, but I know that at least Gnome (Wayland only) has trouble mixing eGPU and the internal display if that is important.
Lemmy itself can hide read posts, so they app never even sees them; you can find this setting on your profile
Have a friend who still does this. Every so often he’ll notice that something is missing from a previous reinstall and we have to take a second to bring his system back on track
The main reason for Ubuntu against Debian is the packages. For Ubuntu, they’re much newer, and with PPAs (launchpad.net), you can often get more and/or newer packages built by other users. For debian, good luck, you’re stuck with old packages (which is the intent of Debian stable, but not nice as a user, that’s for server)
