OSS is a corporate lie. What you are describing is free software. Freedom to modify and distribute

Does the boot screen look ok? Does the login screen look ok?

I had a problem with my new 9070 on debian KDE, and the issue was with color accuracy setting

(Is debian considered a “debian-based” distro?)

Debian users, ignore the above. Debian explicity warns against using ubuntu ppa

The correct way to get libreoffice in debian is just to apt install libreofffice… It’s already in the main debian repos

Dude pulling on native american person’s braid, mother and daughter look too similar, mom’s hand is messed up, SS logos are messed up

There’s a wave of AI generated comics hitting lemmy right now. At first i was in the same boat as you, found it difficult to identify

Now after seeing more and more, my brain’s detection algorithms are updating.

I’m quite good at seeing obvious AI slop images, but comics was a totallly new thing i had to learn to detect

My desktop has been running debian for 5 years no problem including 2 major debian version upgrades, and a new(er) GPU.

I had an old laptop that ran the same debian install for 8 years. All upgrades in place, no reinstalls.

boring, and works. Stable + backports should cover the majority of people with new hardware support needs.

Read the post above mine… “Privacy respecting options” are almost always downstream forks of firefox. Abandon/kill the source, and downstream dries up

This needs to be higher up. We need firefox as an alternative to a chrome engine monopoly. ToS and telemetry are miniscule issues compared to what we are up against

Firefox is literally the last thing standing between google controlling the entire browser landscape and having control over all web standards (as if they dont already have too much influence)

People ditching firefox over tos, telemetry, AI, CEO pay, etc. are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Do i wish mozilla would stop doing stupid shit? Of course. But the alternative is far worse. Dont let perfect be the enemy of good. Mozilla will never be as ideologically pure as we want them to be, but that’s OK (for now)

There are millions of people out there who do 99% of their stuff in browser, and never need the newest shiniest features for graphics, or gaming or whatever. Plasma 5.27 works great for years. People only get fomo if they follow this stuff constantly. And most people dont. Lemmy/linux is a very niche gathering of nerds

To say that debian is not a good daily driver for most people, i still disagree for the above reasons

I’m not a professional or anything, but i get my basic photo and video editing just fine on debian.

For example, i used to chase all the latest and greatest digikam versions because “ooooh! New features!!”… In hindsight, there was nothing really that groundbreaking each update, and i just go back to using the core features that have been stable for years.

but I wouldn’t recommend it on a computer you’re actively using

Debian is my daily driver on all my computers. Servers, desktop, laptop. Its called the universal operating system for a reason

Packages are regularly updated with bug fixes for security issues. Do you absolutely need the latest features for every software? Debian is fine unless theres some killer new feature you absolutely need.

Hardware support is mostly fine unless you have the absolute latest hardware (which OP doesnt). And backport kernels should take care of newer hardware

You want stable and no snaps.

It’s Luigi time!

Kde plasma (wayland) already has an HDR checkbox and i have it enabled.

Is it not really working yet?

Golf of America now…

The water source is higher ground than the house… Dude should just build a small trench for the water to flow down to his house

All my important files are on a NAS, so if someone steals my laptop, there’s nothing of value there without being able to log in and mount the remote file systems

if you are on debian stable, there would not be updates to 300 packages (unless there were 300 packages with some security issue that needed a fix)

if you then decide to upgrade to the next version of debian, THEN you would have hundreds of packages to update

Pretty normal if you’ve never used debian.

Debian is the cure to distro hopping

Watch out. Crows remember their enemies, share that info with the rest of the group, and can pass that information down to the next generation.

I always verbally greet crows politely.

serious question. is it pretentious to use the “real” name of a place instead of it’s english name? i’m not talking about pronunciation, but when english people decide to come up with a completely different, name for foreign places

like, “i visited milano, torino, and firenze this summer” instead of “milan, turin, and florence”
