sl and KDE plasma

The only reason my last machine didn’t get more than 10 years worth of in-place upgrades was because I decommissioned it as a desktop and turned it into a server, so I wiped it at that point.

Because despite all the people telling me I’m wrong, Kubuntu is still by far the best distro I’ve ever used. Rock solid, super fast, and continues to improve.

Fucking warmongering dinosaur cunts…

Lol jk none of my stuff runs on Windows anyway

This isn’t even hard. KDE without a second thought.

I regularly try other desktops, and I regularly come back to the only desktop with any sort of reasonable thought put into it.

Not to mention that I can’t find any indication that Mint has a fixed version of ffmpeg at all.

Does mint ship with a fixed version of ffmpeg?

I’d much rather see RISC-V take over.

Why mess with perfection?

Installing SL is part of my standard cloud-init config.

Yeah, and termites are basically cockroaches.

Depends on the use case. Definitely for my laptop though. In fact the decryption keys only exist in two places:

1. Inside my TPM
2. In a safe deposit box at a bank.

“Because I can” is a perfectly viable reason. Messing around and doing ridiculous things is one of the best ways to learn.

Fewer steps than yours, but I’ll claim this as a win in the “purity” field where you have to stop at the first layer where you can run a Windows app.

Linux on a RISC-V device -> container -> qemu-user + binfmt -> x86 VM software -> FreeBSD -> Linux binary compatibility -> Wine -> Windows app

jq and yq are both things I install on pretty much every machine I have.

You’ve got it backwards - you need to pipe the output of yes into the input of the command:

yes | command-that-asks-a-lot-of-questions

KDE Neon - I replace the Firefox deb with the snap.

• Armour class: Apparmor (common)
  • App confinement (+1 defence against app security issues)
• Glamour: Breezy plasma (common)
• Jewellery: Snappy apps (common)
  • Rolling release apps with a stable base
  • Ability to use multiple versions of any snappy app simultaneously

Most sensible GNOME decision
