I used evolution for a min, it wasnt bad… But, ive been using thunderbird for so long, i didnt stray for long.

phew!

I don’t care what you do with your data… As long as your being careful with my data.

At the end of the day… Cloud storage is just using someone else’s computer.

Agreed. Although I will say… While people not reading the articles was extremely common on reddit… Sadly, I feel like Lemmy is even worse about it.

My neighbors dog is Wayland. He’s a good boy!

Damn… 8 years? I made it almost two years with tumbleweed on my work laptop.

I like mixing it up, trying different diatros and various programs. After awhile, a fresh install just feels nice…

Absolutely hate the fact that their drivers and firmware updates (for servers) are stashed away behind ludacris support contracts.

Have a simplivity stack at work, and for two nodes with an off site DR, needed an $8,000 support contract just to get the latest drivers and firmware to upgrade to the latest VMware version simplivity supports.

One shot deal, as we are already planning the move away from VMware and getting plans together for budgets to do so…

Maybe they all do this…? Admittedly I’ve not had to go looking for drivers or firmware updates on the few dells we have as they are air gapped systems that just run for a very specific purpose… So I honestly am not sure. But HP absolutely sucks in this regard as far as Im concerned.

I picked up an Epson eco tank printer for my wife a couple years ago, and it’s been fantastic! My wife, being a kindergarten teacher has a knack for absolutely killing printers… And this little Epson has been a work horse!!! I have nothing but good things to say about it!

See… I’m the opposite… I change and hip around and reinstall across various machine so often, changing the setting has just become second nature… I don’t even think about it anymore! Hahahaha

Wait… Mine is 9.9.9.9, too!

I do this for expansion. I can expand the pool three drives at a time instead of 6. But, I set it up knowing the risk with a single parity drive…and I’ve acounted for that with backups. 👍

I’d do a pool with 2x vdevs, each with three drives in raidz1

Just to add to this… I rarely print anything, but my wife (an elementary school teacher) prints all kinds of stuff! We picked up an eco tank printer from Epson. We’ve had it now for a coupe years and it’s been fantastic! We would replace ink cartridges a few times a year previously… Where as with the eco tank we do about once a year. The print quality has held up, and it’s just been a good little work horse for her!

Could look into the 45 drives hl15. It’s not cheap, but it looks friggin awesome!!

My preferred daily has been opensuse tumble weed on my self built desktop and Lenovo laptops. I had been using Leap on a couple old MacBooks (one air, and one mbp). I tried nixos about 6 months ago and I’ve migrated several of my machines over to nix. Opensuse and nix are without question my top two.

Servers, I run Debian server, Ubuntu server, and rocky.

Lindows was my first Linux experience ever. I was in high school (so this was probably around 2002, as I graduated in 03). Being my first Linux experience I remember the KDE DE and thinking how cool it was the I could customize the clock in various ways (digital, analog, etc).

That started the journey. Dabbled and distro hopped for a few years, and went full linux in probably 07. I’ve never looked back.

Is that diagram right?!

+1 for Lenovo. My Gen5 x1 carbon is without question, the single best Linux on a laptop experience I’ve ever had. Running tumbleweed as my daily driver, fwiw.

“There is also opensuse Leap wich is a rolling release distribution.”

Leap is not a rolling release. Tumbleweed is the rolling release.

My Proxmox cluster has 10+ distros so I can distro hop my heart out. I like bouncing between various distro to stay fresh with package managers… And more specifically the various synax when using various distros
