The new Leader of Debian Linux, Sruthi Chandran, beat her only opponent, the aptly named "None of the above", on a "Diversity" and "Less (cis)male" platform.

i recently tried to run ollama in my linux and it seems to work way more smoother than windows, dunno y

Hi i wanna switch to linux and am hoping for yall to guide me which one i should go for. I do embedded firmware developmend and might have to use kicad too. Currently the environments i use are espressif idf and stmcube ide

For me the "not setting winslop environment variables" psrt for every programming language on popOS has been a godsend i can straight uo start coding right away no setup amd finding path for python and finding path for rust and other slop stuff needed...

Idk why people still use windows for programming work?? Like ts was made for fast dev work (linux) like install package start working... windows is too complicated just to make python work on vscode i have to go thru UI from the frikcking 1980s and mac idk cuz sure i have used mac but idk how to set up python on it ill try that soon to see if its similar or worse than linux

Another feature is tiling window management god is it smoother on linux sure cosmic does get buggy on it sometimes but that was when i had low ram when i upgraded to 20gb it was fine af

No installer for apps, no "install visual C++ from 1970s 👶🏻" slop just straight to work!! Thats how an OS should be smooth, fast, straight to work!! And apps install and open faster too while using less rsm than their winslop counterparts

Like on winslop brave uses 1-1.5gb for 4-5 browser tabs on linux its 500-600 max 800 which is a huuuge W

Another pro was atleast for me if ur OS occurs an OOM error the app will jst not respond but it WONT make ur whole system with the DE and all crash only the app wont respond on winslop if i open 3 electron apps system BSOD

And for the cons of linux if it breaks aww god it breaks bad i had issues hwere bluetooth wont work sometimes or disconnect when laptop heated a lot or smth , then i had kernel crash on me once (with the whole penguin logo and shi) it took me 2 hrs to fix it but was an eazy fix dint need terminal amd shi i just used an older kernel to boot up the OS , the reason it crashed was due to newer kernel messing with smth called dbus or smth i saw in github

Im fucking never going back to winslop ever again my plan is that when i make enough money get a while custom pc and install linux on it , get a handheld put bazzite on it and then get a mac (for work purposes only) , and another windows laptop and thenput linux on it

Windows makes me puke tbh when i use it in my lab i repulse this ass of an OS , the only windows i loved is 7...

Let me be honest - The profile picture and banner of this sub, is something that I put together in a hurry while creating it. (madi xD)

I'm looking for creatives or people who can help me with :-

1. A profile picture

2. A banner

If you are a creative you are welcome to edit and create images and post them down here- or we can also brainstorm different ideas, and upvote good ones that you like.

Ippo ulla pfp thanne mathiyenkil athum thazhe parayam, I will probably create a better quality one :)

Tell any others in comments.

linux ne default secure boot enabled allalo, ategana set aakane ennariyo arkelum 🙂

i’m a full-stack software engineer. i work on backend, frontend, android, and a bit of ml. i have a laptop with an amd ryzen 5 6600h processor, 16gb ram, and an nvidia gtx 4050.

i’m not sure if i should ditch windows, since i need it for video editing and some tools are better supported on windows and hard to find on linux. so i’m looking for a smart move. but I hate windows it's soo bloated 🫪

i have a mac btw so any macos people help me out to get deeper into this.

So I'm working as a win server admin in a Witch company, for peanuts(<3LPA). Now that I can search for better projects internally, what kind of should i be searching for that I can make good use of and switch in a year with better pay?
