Any idea how it’d look if broken down into distros? I’m assuming enterprise support would be favoured so Red Hat or Ubuntu would dominate?

I’m not convinced that immutable distros are beginner friendly yet.

Nobody has mentioned immutables yet?!

I finally dipped my toes into trying a new distro over the summer and have been really impressed with Project Bluefin. All the familiarity of Gnome for existing Ubuntu or Debian users but with a completely hands off rolling update experience.

The main drawbacks are the slight complexity of how the fuck to install stuff on an immutable system. In theory you use Homebrew for CLI apps and flatpak for GUI apps but I’m really not a fan of installing from sources other than the original dev.

I shared my personal experience and you turned it into a distro war.

My original comment was pointing out this entire post is an unnecessary distro war. Except now WSL is the battleground. It’s so unnecessary. I’m genuinely surprised anyone gives a shit about WSL.

People using WSL tend not to be total newbies and may well run into real issues (such as the ones that prompted me to switch), thanks to snap.

OK, that’s a different assumption to me. I kinda presume anyone toying with WSL is one of their early experiences with Linux.

My experience was if you’re fiddling enough with WSL that you’re running into issues then you may as well ditch Windows and move to Linux.

Hence arguing over which WSL distro someone is using is irrelevant. You’re better of persuading them to try dual booting Linux instead.

Some right wingers are upset that in some European countries there are consequences for posting death threats on Twitter

I’m pretty sure a year ago there was a set of users claiming systemd was the worst thing to happen to Linux since snap.

So why are you advising to change the default install of Debian to include it?

Every recipe that works for Ubuntu works for Debian,

May as well just install Ubuntu then.

For the cutting edge 2% of new stuff, newbies are increasingly better off on Debian.

Citation needed. Pretty sure this is either personal opinion or anti-canonical, anti-snap ideology.

Targeting WSL users with this rhetoric is ridiculous. If you want to tailor your own systems outside the norm then sure go ahead but claiming things will be easier for a newbie by running specific commands they don’t have the context or expertise to comprehend is absurd.

Why the new account? Did your last account get banned from spamming posts from your own blog?

if you encounter problems just search online or ask AI, it’s fairly simple

Good luck with that. All the answers are going to assume WSL is using Ubuntu.

Why do Linux advocates try so desperately to overcomplicate things?

Can’t you you just be satisfied a Windows using is experimenting with Linux. Why does it have to be your ideological strain of Linux they use.

Is ghost static now? I thought it was just a blog cms written in Node

I really enjoy working with Microsoft .NET 8.0 LTS ASP.NET Core Blazor Web Assembly

Not necessarily. An insurrection might overthrow the maintainers before they can push the release

Docker might be solution here.

But from my experience most python scripts are absolute junk. The barrier for entry is low so there’s a massive disparity in quality.

Lemmy is so insanely anti company. I agree with being pro open source but the hissy fit people threw when one repo changed one thing was insane.

There have been so many announcements that a release candidate of a release will be coming out /soon/. It’s utterly pointless non-news.

Please can this drivel be banished.

Wait until 3.0.0 is actually released and then post it for discussion.

They give incremental discounts each time you renew so even if the price increases you’ll probably find you’re spending less each time.

Jetbrains licenses are like £100 a year. What commercial project isn’t able to cover that cost.

Doesn’t Lemmy support cross posting?

I considered implementing Lemmy comments and theorised I’d post to my own community/instance so I had full moderation control, then cross post that to all the relevant communities.

This has been one of my biggest frustrations while learning Rust. I’m coming from .NET which has an incredible wealth of official System and Microsoft libraries all of which are robust and well documented.

Rust on the other hand has the bare minimum std library, with everything else implemented by the community. There isn’t even a std async library. It’s insane.

Even the popular community libraries are severely lacking in documentation or inexplicably unmaintained.

Rust has a ton of potential but it desperately needs some broad funding to align the fundamentals to a decent standard.

A quick glance and this seemed nothing to do with self documenting code and everything to do with the flaws when code isn’t strictly typed.
