Cups takes some playing with to get right but once you have it setup and saved, the thing should work whenever

Why do you need a DE for your server?

My needs are for my os to be my toy

Because canonical, who make ubuntu, also make snap. So it gets shoved down your throat. This is why I don’t use Ubuntu.

Nice! Good luck!

How do you like Manjaro? I am on normal arch with kde and I love it. Manjaro’s own repos scare me.

I disagree that the UI/DE/WM is a good way to evaluate a distro. One could make any distro look and feel like any other.

In my opinion one should look primarily at three factors:

1. Package manager
2. Release type
3. Stability

From there just choose either Debian or Arch and install the UI you want with the DE/WM

Pieces of shit devices

(Point of Sale, jokes aside. But they often are POS as well.)

You know that tab that opens sometimes when you update Firefox? The welcome to Firefox or what’s new, whatever it is? If I remember correctly, there are sometimes ads for mozilla vpn on that tab. But you, like me, might just close that tab without ever looking at its contents

What do you mean by “apt/pacman”? Which one are you using?

Lmao alright fair play

I disagree. It just marks the break between two vowel sounds. In English we just happen to write it down when necessary. French does this too, but in the opposite direction. As a general rule, one does not pronounce the last consonant of a word except in instances where two vowel sounds meet. In these cases, the first word’s consonant links into the second word

And you’d be right to do so!

Berkeley Software Distribution. It comes from early days of Unix

The other day I was reading some GitHub issues involving an issue I was also having and the maintainer of the project was directing people to their discord server to talk about and hopefully resolve the issue. On top of that, they came back to the GitHub issue and just posted that after some discussion (on Discord) the issue had been resolved. Totally useless to me and anybody else who might be searching for that thing.

It is much less of a PITA than it is often made out to be. I made the transition just recently and had both Plex and Jellyfin running simultaneously for about a month. I used that time to just go through and adjust my progress through my home videos on Jellyfin so I remembered where I left off before shutting down Plex entirely. As long as your directory structure is well organized, it shouldn’t be hard to switch to Jellyfin at all, and if your directories aren’t organized… well it’s a good opportunity to organize them. For large libraries, the *arr stack is great for that.

Careful because kubuntu still silently installs snaps and I switched off it after having to do the whole ppa thing just to install Firefox correctly

Does cd + work to go forward after using cd - ?

I just finished reading it! One grammatical thing I noticed: “system de jour” should be “system du jour”. System made of day vs. system of the day

CUPS? Use the localhost webpage to configure
