The only thing I have experience with is that the pi’s struggle with newer codecs, like h264 runs perfectly but any video that is h265 is a slide show, if you get an image at all. So I have to be really careful which version of a video I download. It sucks because h264 files are significantly larger due to its inferior compression.
I use a raspberry pi 3 A+. The only thing that sucks is no h265 support.
Like what do you need to keep configured? lol Linux is set it and forget it. I’ve had installs be fine from day one to year 7. It’s not like windows where Microsoft is constantly changing things and changing your settings. Like it takes minimum effort to keep a Linux server/system going after initial configuration.
Big nope from me dawg
I’ll keep ncmpcpp, thanks. I haven’t used a gui music player in years. They seem so goofy now.
Yeah I have a raspberry pi ‘syncthing hub’ that keeps all my devices uniform down to dot files and configs. It’s so essential. It’s so nice as well to be able to switch from my desktop to a laptop and continue coding seamlessly. Everything is ready as soon as I log to my computer. Don’t have to use any kind of service like google cloud, etc.
Themes like this 🤤🤤
What a jabroni.
I really like my 2019 thinkpad x1 carbon for coding/light gaming. It runs vms pretty well as well. It cost me $250 a couple years ago used off of eBay.
I’m nostalgic for Ubuntu when it still had Unity as default, and Linux mint around 2014. That’s when I began coding, and that’s the time I liked the look of them more than the current modern offerings. Plus there was more ease of customization it felt like
I like just good old gnome terminal. Theming scripts work well with it, like the gruvbox one that has like a hundred color themes. it’s got all the right features. just works
Currently, I have 3 DEs installed that I use regularly. Cinnamon, i3, and Unity. Cinnamon is for retro themes, and Unity is for a modern mac look after tweaks. and i3 is just nerd porn
I love mint. I use it everywhere. You wouldn’t recognize it anywhere I use it though. I customize the hell out of it. Right now I got this retro Ubuntu thing going on, running Unity DE and no snaps. not that I’m wholly against them, I just don’t have them.
good thing my Ryzen 1000 series motherboard doesn’t even have TPM…I need to upgrade lool
It was fun to play with Linux. And it was easier to develop on. The terminal is amazing.
I like all the shows on Jupiter broadcasting . They’re really into the fediverse, self hosting, etc. their shows are:
Linux unplugged Linux action news Self hosted Coder radio.
Chris and the gang have created an awesome community that you can find on matrix as well.
https://matrix.to/#/#jupiter-broadcasting-space:matrix.org
I also like their shows because they’re always trying new things and it encourages me to as well. The hosts are really human and it’s not like a voice reading a script. They’re really accessible and I’ve had many conversations with them. They’ve even featured one of my apps/projects They’re active in the community and Sponsor projects and meet ups. They’re also independent and really picky about ads.
Can I just run this on my PC and not have it on a server? I’m running out of raspberry Pis.
