It has to one of these two for me, hard to pick: The Chersonese soundtrack from Outward or Fear Not Night from Guild Wars 2.

The Outward one hits especially hard while adventuring through Chersonese!

I know right. xD I just have to learn things one at a time as they become relevant, otherwise it’s too overwhelming.

After a quick search of conky, it seems to me that it solves a different problem than waybar does. Waybar can display stats, but that is not its main purpose. Since you use Cinnamon, I doubt you need waybar or Rofi, as Cinnamon comes with pre-installed alternatives for them.

I should have mentioned before when I talked about window managers, I was mainly thinking about tiling window managers. They are really good for a keyboard centric workflow, so if you like using keyboard shortcuts, they’re worth a try. Ideally, you’ll spend less time moving windows around with the mouse, and less time trying to find the window you’re looking for.

But, we’re all different, of course. To each their own. To keep to the trodden path is definitely a good strategy for a stable system :)

Nice :)

Hyprland is a window manager (or actually a Wayland compositor if you want to be pedantic) , alternatives would be i3, dwm Niri, etc. A window manager is a more basic alternative to desktop environments like Gnome and KDE Plasma. It requires you to set up more things yourself, which is what most of the other things solve.

I use Rofi as an application launcher (it can be used for a lot more things as well), it basically does the same job as the Windows startmenu.

Waybar is a statusbar, can be configured to display anything really, but it usually displays the date and time, application tray, active workspace, RAM and CPU usage, battery level, etc. It basically does the same job as the the Windows taskbar.

Ghostty is a terminal, alternatives are Kitty, Alacritty, WezTerm, foot. All operating systems come with a pre-installed terminal like Windows Terminal on Windows and Gnome Terminal on Gnome. But, you can change it out for some improved functionality.

Neovim is a terminal based text editor. New and improved version of the Vi and Vim text editors. Very steep learning curve, but very fun once you learn it. :q to exit the editor, if you ever feel like testing it.

I use NixOS for the atomic updates that I can roll back to at any time, so I can more or less never completely break my system. And even if I somehow manage it, I can just do a fresh install and apply my flake to get my entire setup back.

The drawback is that it does not follow the filsystem hierarchy standard, so a lot of scripts and binaries does not work out of the box. It gives me quite a bit of friction, but I’m sure that is a skill issue.

My desktop started by being inspired by a lot of Linux YouTubers, and I’ve gradually modified it to fit my needs.

I’m using Hyprland, Ghostty, neovim (btw), Rofi, waybar.

But, I’ll have to check out Niri after reading here.

Yeah, sorry for assuming it’s obvious. Maybe I’ve been around Linux people too much xD

AngryCommieKender is mostly right. It would delete every file and directory in your home directory, which is the Linux equivalent of the Users/<username> folder on Windows. It’s where all of your Documents, Pictures, Downloads, config files, and the likes are stored.

I’m not sure it’s a protected action, since it’s not the actual root of the computer. But, I’ve never tried, so I don’t know :P

Doing nothing is way better than running random commands suggested by AI, or anyone for that matter, if you don’t know what it does. I’ve seen AI suggest to run rm -rf ~/, which is obviously never a good idea.

I use i3. Pretty bare bones, so it took me a while to get productive with it. But it’s all exactly how I want it, it’s all mine.

I guess this entirely depends on what country you’re from. I’m a developer, and I constantly have to deal with ignorant bosses. They push me to write code faster, sacrificing proper planning, architecture, and testing. Then I’ll be the one sitting up all night fixing a broken release, because my code doesn’t work.

As the professional in this scenario (the one who knows how to develop software), it’s my responsibility to make sure it’s done right. My boss isn’t supposed to know how to do it, so it’s my job to let him know.

Of course, you still have to have your bosses permission to do it, so I totally agree with OP putting pressure on the boss. It’s important that the boss knows what’s at stake, and it’s OP responsibility to make sure he does. But at the same time, it’s important for OP to know why the boss doesn’t want to upgrade, he might have a good reason, or at least it would be easier to argue against.

Again, it probably depends on the country. I work in a country with high job security, but it might be different in other countries (not the responsibility, but the danger of doing your job properly).

Same here, played a bit of DS2, but never really got into it. Started on DS3, but got tired of that pretty quick as well. But when Elden Ring came out, I got really hooked on the games. I finished Elden Ring, then I played through DS 1, 2 and 3. And then a few more playthroughs of Elden Ring with different builds. I’ve started a bit on Sekiro, but jumped over to Lies of P when it came out. The plan is to play the new Lords of the Fallen, when I’m finished with Lies of P. It’s really satisfying to beat a boss after a few hours of learning the patterns.

Cool, hope it continues to grow!
